This document discusses the sound design techniques used in the game Titanfall. It analyzes specific audio elements like robot sounds, gunshots, explosions, and voices. For each element, it hypothesizes the production methods used, such as recording gun sounds at a field and heavily modifying them, or creating robot voices entirely with computer software. The overall setting is described as futuristic with frequent robot and computer blips, while the mood is quite dark featuring gunfights and what seems to be breaking bones.

Titanfall
Provide detailed descriptions from chosen examples that establish…
Clearly state what production technique(s) you think have
been used to create specific soundtrack elements
It is futuresetting as there are sounds that are similar of that to robots and
computer sounds repeated throughout the audio sound like a little blip.
The sounds of robots could have been created
with a robot arm which is used to make cars and
the blip probably was sitting next to a computer.
The mood of the game seems quite dark as there are gunfights and explosions at
multiple times. At one point you hear something similar to bones breaking.
The bones breaking could have been crumpling of
a plastic bag.
A shooter genre, it features many different sounds of gun shots and explosions.
They may of recorded the sounds of the guns and
explosions at a field and then, heavily modified
the sound of most of the guns so that they don’t
sound like normal guns
Multiple people talking, some on the radio and some were talking physical to the
player. Also, what seemed to sound like a robot as it says “Engaging follow mode”
and “Caution: Out numbered 2 to 1”
The robot voice may have been made with only
computer software, while voices on the radio
have just been made to sound as they are. Most
of the people on the radio have an echo effect so
that might have been added.
