Game Technology - Sound for Games

How is sound used in games?


As in films sound in games can be used for various different reasons, from creating tension, to an interaction that the avitar has made with an instance in the gaming world. The main reason why sound is used in games is for realism, because sound is a major part of our real lives so the games are trying to draw as much from our real lives as possible so that the games are more rational.

Who are some of the key composers working in games?

Me perosonnally I would say that one of the biggest and key game composers in the business is Koji Kondo. Because he was the composer for games such as Zelda and the Super Mario series. I feel he is a key composer in the business because the music in Super Mario is very distictive and I feel that other composers have gone and set him as the pinicale.














To anybody who is into there games and has ever played the Super Mario games will know the distictive composition that Koji made for the game.

As you can tell from what I have written I think highly of Koji Kondo for what he has done for the gaming worlds music because he really set the bar high with the music for the Marios becasue that music is known world wide.
