maybe it should be both ? I mean, a musician should be having the flexibility to have symphonic orchestra mixed with synthesiser.
Again I reffer to dreamfall, where the epic story telling is accompanied with not only symphonic, but also pop songs and some industrial music and even piano balads.
Well, I guess you gotto love it, and I like the holywood style music. For some games it will be over the top but if the quality of the game is cinematic then it shouldn't be experienced as off beat just because we've always used to games being accompanied with opl3 chips
