SOUND FOR VIDEO GAMES

Psychology of Sound
Name a game where the sound really stood out for you. Make a list of why you
remember it.
FIFA 15, because the sounds make it feel more realistic because you have the
commentary, the crowd chanting, player callouts, sound effects of the ball
being kicked and when it also hits the post. All these sounds make the player
feel like they are actually at a football match.

What are the functions of sound in a video game?

The functions of sound in a video are to create emotions for the players, like
