Sounds of Fable 2 covered in latest dev. diary

by Alexander Sliwinski { Oct 2nd 2008 at 11:00PM }

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.

In before:

If it was on Blu-Ray, it would have lossless audio!!!

if this was on a blue ray it probably would have lossless audio

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.

If it was on BluRay, it would be on a reviled console.

Try converting a random image to 256 colors, see if you can spot the difference.

It's the same concept. The human ear just can't differentiate between sounds THAT much.

I think it would make a difference to the soundtrack. The voices I would compress anyway for loading times.

@knight666, not at all. It's more like comparing to a bmp to a 99% jpg.

Your comparison is like comparing a midi to a lossless format.

This is one of my fav. episodes of the diaries.

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.
