Synopsis

Components of a product where sound may appear.

Relationships

Context:
Sound Design in Games .
Parts may include:
Title Screens , Menus , Cutscenes , Gameplay .
Makes use of:
Acoustic Ecology .

Description

This pattern refers to the design decisions regarding the reach of sound to the different components the game may include.

Often, expressions such as "the sound of a game" are used to refer to the sounds heard during Gameplay and possibly in the Cutscenes. Yet, sound may extend to other moments of a game's usage, including the Menus and the starting Title Screens.

Addressing the sound design of these components as a whole has the advantage of enabling them to fit in the same Acoustic Ecology.

Examples

Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots: Cutscenes.
Heavy Rain: Title Screens.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune: Menus.
[show less examples...]
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time: Sound being used as part of the Gameplay.
