Description
Sound is prevalent in many of the most recognized Signatures in games. A Signature supports a strong link between players and on what keep in memory from their experience while playing. Not only, it evokes a memory but it also works as a token that allows different players to communicate their common experience.
Building a Signature is both relevant in emotional and commercial terms.
A Signature is, almost by definition, achieved through singularity. Music or particular Sound Effects are common ways to achieve it, but aspects of the Characters' Soundprint also constitute a vast space of opportunities.
Examples
Sega possesses one of the most well known Signatures in the world of games, in which the sound is the memorable element. It is a common element to many of their games. One of those games is Sonic the Hedgehog, which has one other widely recognized Signature: the Sound Effects -– and their overabundance -- signalling the Achievements when collecting rings.
Several games built a Signature out of their Characters' Soundprint, including: Bioshock, mainly through the Dialogues; Ice Age 3, through Scratch's Grunts and fast sequences of Footsteps.
