Sound can make or break the immersion in a game. The ears play an important part in how much we enjoy an audio visual spectacular. Red Dead Redemption brings alive the sound of Texas and Mexico. The accents, the ambient sound, the echo of gunfire in a canyon, rattling of wheels over cobblestones – these are small things people don’t notice. However, when they’re not there, we know something is amiss. Red Dead Redemption pays minute detail to sound design, achieving amazing realisim in the sound of the cowboy and his life. It’s still easy to get it right when you’re shooting a movie, but this is a video game. There’s no camera to capture the sound in a video game. It was a tough job, but Rockstar delivered.
