The pig sound was most likely used as a base for the crow, and was then added to and altered with other sounds.

If you listen carefully you can hear the grunty squeal of a piggy in there, kinda like the pig noise from the original warcraft games

Oh, I hear the pig now. It's not the grunts and snorts you hear from a cute little oinker, it's the terrifying squeal-roar of a large, angry pig.

They didn't even alter it that much.

Do a youtube search for those large feral pigs they've got running around in the southern states, you'll hear the same noise when they get cornered by dogs or trapped in a cage.

Sure, if by same noise you mean it's been greatly altered with tons of reverb, pitch changes, EQ'd, and slowed down.

The majority of sound effects are done like that, so I don't really see what the big deal is with this.

Oh, I agree, he probably worked his fingers to the bone for a whole 2-3 minutes before it reached that "greatly altered" state. Quick search on youtube brings up a hog video with pretty much the exact same noise.

I'm suddenly reminded of Braid's meowing bunnies... and how they all got destroyed by that cannon.

I nearly cried from laughing when Andy tripped and fell chasing that pig. XD

The show is a lot funnier than the books. :D

Flying boar from the nickelodeon show Avatar? That's what I first thought of. For those who haven't watched that show don't over look it just cause it's nickelodeon it really is a great show. Anyway back on topic if you listen really closely you can hear the pig. My friend works in sound design and turned the barks and howls of a dog into the sounds of a dragon. Can't wait for this game. I've also been playing a lot of DMC lately.

There's flying boars in Avatar? You sure you aren't thinking of Bison?


PS: The movie adaptation of that show is going to be awesome.

Yeah I was thinking of the flying boar the symbol of Toph's family. Saw about the movie too. Not too happy with the cast but as long as the movie is good. Pus the creators helped write the script for the movie too.

Anyone who doesn't think a pig scream could be the base sound of a demented raven has obviously never heard a pig scream. It is, quite honestly, a sound that goes deep into your soul and rattles it. Terrifying, actually. And while the little ones are loud and high-pitched, you hear a 1,000 sow screaming for her life and you'll never quite be the same. Think a rabbit scream but 1,000 times more disturbing.

Could someone please tell me what the hell that circular object is on her chest? It really bothers me because it looks weird and off-center.
