Maybe it's changed but Tommy used to always complain about doing music, because back in the 80's you really had to also be a programmer to do video game music, and he was terrible at programming. He's a good composer but he didn't really start putting out music that wasn't terrible until the Sega CD when they could just play back redbook audio that could be recorded to the CD directly and wasn't sequenced playback.

Though I'm not familiar with videogames (well, only Sonic), it is very insightful to hear so many aspects and points of view concerning such simple and short sounds. It is amazing the amount of information that a single musical note can carry, depending on timbre, dynamics and other subtle characteristics. I heard about Brian Eno composing a 6 seconds sound for Microsoft, and then experiencing three minute songs as long, complex pieces. Great video!

Riffing on what Scott said at 4:04 about dissonance and consonance, you can see how when you collect a ring in Sonic the Hedgehog (at 5:58 ), it's arpeggiating a C major chord 1st inversion (very consonant), and when you lose your rings (at 6:00 ), it plays this cacophony of dissonant intervals played at a dizzying rate, reflecting how in one instant you just lost all of your rings

Games would suck without sound effects. The whole point of them is to make mechanics feel good. That's why they are in games. No sound, no punch or emphasis.
@Rynjinivar
@Rynjinivar 7 жыл бұрын
Yeah, seriously. I'd rather play a game without music than without sound effects. A game can function without music (as a quick example, see most non-boss areas of any given Dark Souls game), but a game becomes way less fun without sounds. Everything feels floaty and weird, attacks lack impact, etc. It's the same reason real boxing and such can feel "fake" since real punches don't RESOUND as much as TV, movies, and games have trained us to expect. Fake punches feel meatier on screen solely because of the sound design, it makes you ignore the fact that in many cases nobody is even actually touched.

_Defender_ not only had the most complex sounds of any game up to that point, but also the most complex GAME (as far as game controls go) up to that time (until the same company - Williams Electronics - released _Robotron_ later). Hard to believe, but at video game shows when Robotron was being shown, attendees voted on the "most likely to succeed" and chose _Rally-X_ of all games. Good game, but better than _Robotron?_ I guess they just felt that it was just TOO hard (and it is very hard!). JW3HH

And the sound effects in Robotron were stellar... such an intense game with intense sound!

Ironically, the sound chip in those early Williams games was monophonic-- it could only play one sound at a time.

There was no psychology involved in programming the sound in Space Invaders. At the start of the level the game is using every available resource to manipulate the graphics and sound. As enemies are eliminated more and more processing speed is available and the slowdown dissipates. This causes the enemies to appear to move faster and the sound to quicken when in reality both are just moving less slow. The tension that became the game's trademark is just a happy byproduct.

Some of the most satisfying menu SFX comes from 90's Square games, the Final Fantasy and SaGa games especially.
