Week 18 – Games Technology - Sounds For Games
Sounds in games are so important that I don’t even appreciate it. Just like the movie industry sound or music can change the atmosphere and create a cense of emotion to a person. In games the same is applied, but with added bonus as the victory music or you just found a clue music and the mighty death music. These particular sounds can give you a feel of achievement but also a feeling of defeat.
I am going to give you an example of how music can give you those feelings. I was playing Call Of Duty 4 on Headquarters and we lost the game and this dreaded music played is if we just lost the whole war, then we played another game this we played as the Russians and we won and a high joyous anthem came on as if we won whole match, campaign and war. That’s why music is important in games, cause it can give that feeling and emotion.
I would say I am a massive fan of game composer, cause I don’t exactly sit there and listen to game music, its just there in the game (sorry if sound ignorant). But if there was a composer I would say I would admire it would be Nobuo Uematsu, the composer of all the Final Fantasy games. He reached a lot of success with his music and is probably well known for his work with Final Fantasy. He staged a live orchestral event for the Final Fantasy VIII album. I must be quiet honest with you the music to that game was awesome, from intro to end.
I guess favourite music peace in a game was the game over music in Metal Gear Solid, It made your heart beat fast and it made want to continue, and in the back you had either Roy Campbell or Ottacon screaming in vain for you. But yea that’s was some good and funny music. I could on to say in fighting games such as Tekken, Street Fighter and Mortal Kombat, the music in them games made you want to fight, it gave you desire and edge to fight, which is good as it allows for person to get involved in the game as well.
