Developers of 'Halo Infinite' destroyed piano to record game sounds
A
merican video game developing studio 343 Industries recently while detailing many aspects of the upcoming 'Halo Infinite' game's audio production, in a new blog revealed that they actually smashed a piano into pieces to record sound effects.
According to The Verge, the audio team didn't just use the piano as a target for various blunt instruments, instead before smashing it, they placed a subwoofer on the piano to use it as a resonator.
The developers said that after the piano was destroyed, they put dry ice on numerous pieces of the piano's remains, "which yielded a large offering of singing, bellowing, screeching and everything in between." The resultant sounds were spine-chilling.
In addition to detailing the destruction of the piano, the blog further went in-depth about things like how some gunshot effects differ between Halo 5 and Halo Infinite, the acoustic system that simulates how sound travels through the game's environments, and how sound design differs between single-player and multiplayer.
As per The Verge, 343 also revealed that Halo Infinite will support the Dolby Atmos, Windows Sonic, and DTS HeadphoneX virtual surround sound technologies, which will allow users to hear spatial audio even when wearing stereo headphones.
