Message: [QUOTE="rivr, post: 374294, member: 760728"] i love sound. i agree that team silent excels at it. im playing through Siren 2 at the moment, and i enjoy sound design in it a lot. very deliberate, and often more gentle than Silent Hill games. Gran Turismo 4 has my favorite menu sounds and menu music. Ico and SOTC have great subtle nature sounds. Armored Core 3 sounds chunky, feels like you are listening to everything while in a mech. Suda51 games have interesting sound design, that feels like its equal part as important as graphics. In most cases i can hear that music and sounds were mixed to sound good on weak crt tv speakers, which gives the whole ps2 library its color. I love it. Sometimes you get games that disregard that mixing and go for pure sound, from the top of my head id say Lumines Plus is more of a headphones game (also great sound design) Other times you get really hastily made games that just put raw audio files into the game and call it a day, like simple 2000s series and a lot of other budget titles, which also has its charm for me sound design wise. I feel like im only starting to discover the ps2 library, despite playing it for the most of my life. A lot of translations come out for JP only games right now, and they often have really cool sound design. I agree that sound can make or break the experience, at least for me. Sometimes i boot up games just to listen to them. [/QUOTE]
