Lionhead Studios' latest developer diary hits a high note covering the audio of Fable 2. Music and sound effects are detailed for most of the piece, but the last section features British actors using those adorable accents of theirs. Prolific actor Stephen Fry, who is also the narrator of LittleBigPlanet, makes an appearance in there, and you may recognize some of the other actors as well. Check it out after the break.
I'd estimate that around .25% - .5% of gamers actually have setups that would allow them to tell the difference between lossless and high quality lossy. Even fewer would have trained their ears to know the difference, especially when gaming.
I'm sure a lot of gamers don't give the quality of music in games a second thought, but I think the music is just as important if not more than all the rest of the parts that come together to make a good gaming experience.
Ironically, I hate games like Guitar Hero, although it does prove my point in a way. The music alone is enough to sell you all on the game, even if the gameplay is pretty much a giant mini-game.
Awesome they got Zoe Wanamaker! She was really great in My Family, and her voice seems to fit perfectly with Fable. I recognise some of the others too but not sure where from.
