Guild Wars 2 – Audio Insights
Regina just put up a remarkably interesting post on the forum, sharing information from ArenaNet’s Audio Director, James Ackley.
“Every footstep in Guild Wars 2 is made up of three sounds: heel, toe and spray (spray is the kick of your toe, mostly only made with loose surfaces and running). With this set-up, each of those three sounds gets its own random parameters, so you never feel like you are hearing the same footsteps over and over. Using Drew’s system, we get these incredible results but keep the total memory footprint in check.”
There’s also some information on armor and clothing sounds, environmental sounds, and some great pictures of the sound effects team out recording material.
A huge thanks to James for the information, and also to Regina for putting it up.
