00:11With the development of the PS4
00:13there's so much focus on the graphics
00:15and everything looks stunning and we're at 1080p
00:17and everything is just incredible looking
00:19and here we are over in Soundland
00:21being like hey, it's also gonna sound a lot better too.
00:31Just to compare on Infamous 2 versus Infamous 2nd Sun
00:35we've got almost 10 times the amount of memory
00:38that we have at our disposal
00:39and what that means for us is way more sounds are going into the game
00:43every single sound that you hear is playing from a point in space
00:46we're not just like playing a really long looping sound
00:49of well here's our city ambience and it's 3 minutes
00:51and then it'll loop at the end
00:53instead we have this beautiful dynamic thing
00:55that changes based on the tension level of the battle
00:59and what time of day it is and what neighborhood you're in
01:02as a sound professional
01:04I like all the doors that are open now
01:05it's a new frontier for us
01:07it's a chance for us to really be able to design sound for a game like we want to
01:14my favorite thing about audio and 2nd Sun
01:17this is totally geeky
01:18is we've marked every item
01:21so that when something smashes into it
01:23it sounds like that thing
01:24so when you go up to like a DUP guard tower
01:26and you just blow it up in a fist
01:28when a metal pipe falls on a piece of metal
01:31it goes ee
01:31or when the metal pipe falls on stone
01:33it goes ting ting ting
01:34all of those are physically perfect sounds
01:37and then when you think about that
01:38against the hundreds of pieces
01:40you just blast it off that guard tower
01:42all of it interacting with the city
01:44it kind of blows your mind
01:48one issue that we've always had to deal with in the past
01:50is fragmentation
01:51you know where you never really know what anyone's going to be playing on
01:54are they going to have a home theater
01:55are they just going to be playing on the speakers in their TV
01:58is one of those speakers on their TV going to be broken?
02:00and it was very difficult for us to know just what our game is going to sound like for any
02:06given player
02:06we worked directly with our hardware team at PlayStation to create a custom audio mix for the PS Gold wireless
02:14headsets
02:14really what that gets the player is this unique custom mix
02:18specifically tailored for the headset for Infamous Second Son
02:22having kind of a fixed platform of the headphones is super exciting for us
02:28because we know exactly what they're going to sound like for everyone
02:30and we can really tune it to take advantage of that experience
02:33it was just this really great collaboration to make the sound for Infamous Second Son even better with that headset
03:01thank you
