SW:TOR – Music Of The Old Republic

Posted by Wolfen in MMO General, SWTOR

A couple of new updates have been posted on the official Star Wars: The Old Republic website. These updates deal with the subject of music and sound and how they affect the way players perceives the world around them. The blog post has this to say:

It’s our job to create an audio experience that enhances the emotional experience of the game and reaches the quality level expected of the Star Wars franchise. As fans and as game makers, we’re excited and privileged to breathe life into every planet, every weapon, and every creature that beeps, squawks, or just plain talks…and it’s not as easy as it, er, sounds.

I agree that music and sound can greatly influence how a game world is perceived. I know that many people play games with the sound turned off, but that is something I am unable to do. It adds so much to the experience. I can’t wait to see what they have created.

An official video dealing with this subject has also been posted. You can view it over on the official site, or watch it below.
