inFamous: Second Son Video Discusses new Sound Design

The introduction of the next-gen has brought about the most obvious improvement, graphics. Many of the inFamous followers are expectant of improved graphics with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. However, there’s one thing that’s often overlooked, the sound. While sound design and quality have been greatly improved, a new video released by PlayStation showcases this newer sound design with inFamous: Second Son. Audio director Brad Meyer discusses it.

With the new options opened up by next-gen hardware, the music has become much more dynamic in the game, and it’s not as simple as it once was. Basically, it’s a lot more adaptive and flexible. Situational music and realistic sounds are what you’ll be hearing in Second Son. The team had 10 times the memory for this stuff, which opened up much more opportunities.

You can view the video below! It seems these new sound options will start becoming the standard with future next-gen games as well. inFamous: Second Son will be releasing in just three days, on March 21st, exclusively to PlayStation 4.
