How The Sounds In "Halo" Are Made | Movies Insider | Insider

[@imakeplaylists159]

I absolutely love that they used Xbox controller Assembly noises it really feels right to do something like that in a halo game and it fit so well😂🤣

[@Raetselmind]

I think they rather want to celebrate Xbox so they either used that Xbox stuff on purpose to make it public later or at least someone told them " that would it be cool if .." and they thought yeah we probably can do that as well. I mean they literally can use any kind of stuff. Seems very promotional to me.

Despite some of infinite's problems, the sound design is top notch. Its a case of them doing the sound design so well that it isn't usually noticed by the players since it sounds so natural.

[@woulg]

I did the sound design and some foley for a super weird short film a couple years ago with a friend, and I can confirm it's so fun (and hilarious). We needed to make the sound of a giant caterpillar sticking it's tongue into someone's ear in a giant psychedelic dream/trip sort of situation, we went to the dollar store and bought a bunch of weird little squeeze toys and some shampoo and then had to record the sound of toys sort of like, drowning and snorting in the shampoo and we were crying laughing pretty much the whole time, it was so hard to get a good take hahah.

[@Aero3D]

Halo got me into game development 10 years ago and viewing tag data from Halo CE gave me such an intense in-depth look of proper game development. It taught me there was surface profiles of each material and often 10+ sounds for each sound, per material, which leads down a rabbit hole of what are materials, oh they are textures, controlled by shaders, wrapped onto geometry, that is 3d modeled, that is sometimes rigged, then animated, then programmed by controller inputs. Undoubtedly video games at their core are one the greatest, complex, and fun human achievements, and I really must thank Halo for starting me on my journey. Halo Infinite is so fun!!

[@pasta-and-heroin]

i know this isn't entirely relevant to your comment, but it made me seriously consider that Halo might be the penultimate modern franchise. they are ever-evolving works of art & blockbusters to the core. anyways, you immediately brought me back to the section of (i think?) Halo 2's making of where they give a tour of that dev area devoted entirely to SFX. when they explained that each of the little pieces of code appearing on the screen were being called upon *live* as the character, enemies, weapons & fragmentation interact with dozens of surfaces - all with accurate, tailor-made results. awesome stuff. you working in game dev atm mate?

I think this is one of the reasons why Halo Infinite took so long to be developed. Rather than splicing some random, free (online) sound effects, the developers put a lot of work into the process of sound design, using unorthodox methods to make the sound effects that they have in mind. This is what I like about these big game franchises: they are involving because they have been thoroughly researched and developed.

[@Chiwalker]

Eh, I think it was to its detriment. Money and time spent on a fairly unnecessary part of the game. Halo is better known for the gameplay and weapons, not how they sounded. The weapons of the past game also had a more future feel because they weren't based on current tech and materials.

Triple A studios that are using sound libraries are absolutely NOT using free sound libraries, they're going to be using very expensive Hollywood sound libraries. These days I would assume most triple A studios have sound design teams that do at least some of their own Foley work, they need things that people will recognize as sounds from their games. These may seem like unorthodox methods, but they really aren't that crazy. It's extremely common for Foley artists to search for sounds that nobody else has ever used before, that means recording things that nobody has ever recorded before. I would be very surprised if this work added a significant amount of time to the development of the game, I would assume it would have to be the fact that they put this level of care into every detail of the game.

[@rumfordc]

thank you!

[@javisopa]

Knew it, Pugs are actually aliens, way too funny to be an actual dog.

[@line5815]

the sound that comes out of magnetizing xbox stuff is so cool.

[@JongleurBt1]

Foley artists are just next level geniuses

[@Truly_Rudly]

Did they really just say at 7:51 that the sound of tiger sex is in Halo Infinite? Heck, I think that beats the sound designer for Black Mesa slapping his wife's wet butt cheek.

That didn’t look like a steam tractor, it looked like an early oil tractor.

[@mattb4526]

Yup Holt 75, gas powered. Guess they thought that B-roll was good enough or misspoke

[@milamber319]

@@mattb4526 The tank sound in the game doesnt have that steam sound. It sounds like it matches the holt.

[@VCAY_38_EDITS]

Rare vintage steam powered tractor sound for futuristic machine. Past is helping future. Brilliant people. Brilliant work.

I came for the Jordan's - stayed for the dope BTS. Love this - and those fragment 3s are FIRE

[@DH-rt3fk]

If only the actual gameplay and modes had this amount of time and care put into them then we would have a great game

[@Rew123]

Lmao

[@recklessinferno6889]

Im always turning off BGM just to hear the ambience in the game, it adds a new sense of feel cause realistically hearing BGM in my head while blasting and pummeling aliens sort of takes me out of the moment. Games like Halo, Horizon and even Genshin hit differently when no music plays.

[@dammdaniel9953]

If they focused the same amount of energy and dedication on storyline too it would have been a great game too .

[@SirBigWater]

Halo has almost never had a decent story anyway in the games.

[@dammdaniel9953]

@@SirBigWater why don't you go and play your kitty game which almost has no story .

Halo Infinite is one big eargasm after another...

[@barnabywilde374]

FASCINATING! no wonder sounds immerse ya into game play. They're given so much creative attention.

[@russellinator]

9:30 "People spend DOZENS of hours playing a game like Halo." Hahaha, if she only knew how far she underestimated that number.

[@ImCptnAwesome]

Cool, looks fun and rewarding. I heard Fable 2 used entirely "mouth sounds" that were then edited in a computer. As in, every sword strike, footstep, etc., was just a person making a noise into the mic with their voice/mouth then editing the sound file. Is that true or am I being had?

[@varkboys9999]

1:37 I've been looking for what exactly the thing is that they're using to capture that sound. It looks like a custom made mic. Two pieces of acrylic and two mics that pick up EM sounds? I have no clue, but it's cool and I want one. It makes some of the coolest space-esque sounds I've ever heard.

[@greensheen8759]

I'm not entirely sure, but I suspect they're laser mics that are actually reading the vibrations of the surface the beam is shining on

[@stagdragon3978]

agreed. I got interested after I saw 2:56.

[@Bee-tj8gc]

i just want to know how TF you can even get a job like this. This has to be one of the most fun careers a person can have.

[@varkboys9999]

@@Bee-tj8gc honestly same. I'd love to be a folli guy, but I have no clue how you end up there. Maybe through a trade school or something?

[@Icureditwithmybrain]

I respect game and movie makers who make their own sounds.

[@altimate19]

Truly makes you appreciate what all goes into this.

[@JoeyLovesTrains]

5:38 that is just not a steam powered tractor. You can see the valve train on top, indicating it's an internal combustion engine lol

[@dixienormus5868]

if only the writer team had put the same level of dedication as this

[@-baluta3087]

Ironic how the voice quality of the team isnt that good 😂

Well it ain't much but it's worth it.

[@gavanwhatever8196]

Never gave it a thought till now but mad props to the sound team!

[@rohannvanzyl1585]

Hahaha, the sound effects used for the tank is just mind blowing.

[@ARSZLB]

“they were able to capture…even the rare sounds of tigers mating” okay but like…what did Bungie do with it? do i even want to know?

8:14 So dinosaurs were most closely related to modern-day birds, and they probably didn't have vocal cords because of that. Slowing down the honk of a goose by 500% could actually be a pretty good approximation of what a lot of dinosaurs might have sounded like.

[@thomasgrogan2034]

I never really thought about how detailed sounds can be in games 😭

[@An0neem00se]

I need to pay more attention to the small sound effect in games, these guys need to ear appreciation! exceptional work

[@REALLYRANDOMREVIEW5]

Amazing work from the sound design team i never knew the effort that went into Halo i always thought it was all computerised and digital, wow
