Examples

Bioshock: Big Daddies' Character Soundprint allows their Identification before Eye Contact. This is important because unlike many other NPC in the game, the player wants to find them. Prompt Identification of the specific type of enemy is crucial in this game due to the need of timely selecting readying the proper weapons. This is possible thanks to their Signatures. For instance Spider Slicers are very quick, attack from the roof, and only a certain characteristic sound allows to spot them before actual eye contact.

inFAMOUS: This kind of NPC is extremely dangerous because it throws itself against Cole, full explosives. Still it has a particular Signature that allows its Identification and prompt reaction.
