Sion Lenton: Hi. Welcome back to another look behind the scenes and development about Operation Flashpoint Dragon Rising. Today we’re going to be looking at or rather listening to audio. Audio plays a massive time operation flashpoint.
Oliver Johnson: The sounds in Operation Flashpoint are very authentic which drive to record every vehicle and every war in the game. We know how passionate people are rather sounds with the game.
Mike Smith: With the element, really enhances the visual aspects, the flash point. We’ve got also sort of different ambiences that really immerse the play in the world and visuals are just one part of that or if it’s a very big fan as well. For example when you ‘re walking through a forest, you get ambient bird song and the guys about going out and found the animals that part of the world to make sound authentic.
Sion Lenton: Silence can be kiss is important as terrific noises. As you’re moving through the forest, you hear the audio, you get a pack up twigs etcetera and as well action of the vehicles that we have. You can even identify what the artist from the sound that are making.
Oliver Johnson: We’re out to Michael these tanks and vehicles with many marks just to get every intricate detail of doors opening, closing, engines, interior sounds of these vehicles moving, all of which you will hear in the game.
Sion Lenton: We use audio as a tool in flashpoint. It lets you know that you’re on the fire. It will let you know whether fire is coming from.
James Nicholls: Where do you place avoid to roll within every mission now, operation flashpoint. It’s really important to dictate the move of what’s going on whether you’re hearing very long distance camp fire in the combat to know where can take the launching engagement happening. Whether using it to key win where the enemies are located, starts missions.
Mike Smith: Artillery is one area where the audio really helps the visual aspects of the game. When artillery shows run across the value, you actually get the sound alike so you see the flash to see the explosion and then we model the speed of sounds so the actual shot wave will shake and for base it can hit and explode you.
James Nicholls: The sounds that we place within missions really do, it prepared to find the way through the missions. They kind know where the key installation is that the enemy have because they can hear it from a distance away. They’re going to know where quiets areas are away from forces because they can hear crickets chirping.
Mike Smith: The flash from this audio to really enhance the immersion by guts from doing in certain situations. So one hands rebuilding contrast feel louder, explosion some of muffle the half in that sound.
Oliver Johnson: When someone’s fighting you from 500 meters away or a thousand meters away is a natural asset of that weapon being fired at that distance is not triggering, there is no filtering or recube and apply.
John Davies: We went to the marine’s production assistance office specifically to make sure that what we have much the marine procedures and marine combat so that we have a very genuine feel of how marine actually talk. We have different stress takes for your squad speech. So for example, if you’re on the fire, your score will use a lot clear voice to project their audios. If you’re in a stealth mode, your guys will be whispering, it will be a full whisper.
Oliver Johnson: One of the best feelings in flashpoint and the one that gives you the fear, the mark is here in the bullets whistling snap as you had and hit the brick wall in the background and smash a window and hit the stat in sync of it. These things really may panic and there was one of the most important thing things to get in to flashpoint you feel it when you start caught in the fire and PLA start really surprising you. You’re not going to put your head of those some parts because one of those bullets could attack you and not be.
