Game composers discuss the importance of knowing the hardware you're composing for
Being passionate about video games and understanding the technology of interactive scoring and sound design is a must for creating successful audio for a video game, but as Brian said, any film or television composer could hire someone to help them out. It's not just about writing music or doing sound effects anymore.
Integration, interactivity and knowing what the platform or technology is capable of makes a huge difference. Having someone on your team that knows the ins and outs and understands the video game world is a major plus. I'd love to see a guy like John Williams do an original score for a video game, but he would need a seasoned audio pro from the game industry to put it all together, get it interactive, and make it the best it could be. - Tommy Tallarico
