New Halo Infinite Videos Show the Making of Sound Effects

343 Industries released new videos showing scenes from the development of its upcoming game Halo Infinite focusing on sound design.

Honestly, this has to be one of the cooler jobs in the industry. Can't wait hear the results.

[Abriael]

That's what I was thinking lol.

[UltraNova]

Well if you think this is a cool job(which it is) how about Film location coordinator? These guys job is traveling around the world carrying cameras, scouting for locations suitable for the film they are about to shoot. They must capture a shit ton of footage in every angle as as possible under various weather/light conditions, talk to locals, hire guides, sample accommodation and travel amenities even food. Then when their "job" is done go back present their findings so that the production team can decide which of the locations are suitable.

My cousin is one lucky son of a mother...

@UltraNova

Glad you recognize those people´s hard work. Reminds me when you said that a Dark Souls game is more complex to develop than a Halo game.

Lol.

[UltraNova]

Obscure,

Hmm, so by that(I still stand by that statement btw) you assumed my belief was that no other video game related job was 'more complex' than developing a dark souls game and that I did not recognize the effort put into halo or any other game? Cause your comment assumes I did and that's bullshit I'd never imply that because I don't believe that.

And what does game design complexity have to do with the above comment thread? I thought we were talking about cool jobs there...

Edit:
Try and be positive once in a while.

[Obscure_Observer]

Hype levels increased!

[NeoGamer232]

Pretty cool that they were sampling a jet fighter

THE SABERTOOTH WILL BE BACK!!!.....or just the take off sound for the wasp lol

[denawayne]

Lol @ the 1:37 mark when the "Sony" mic is in view

[NeoGamer232]

What is so great about that?

Can Microsoft not use Sony equipment? It is not like MS manufactures mics for filming. Sony Vaio PCs ship with Windows is that a big deal?

Sony manufacturers some of the best recording equipment on the planet. That does not preclude competitors from using their other products.

[Gaming4Life1981]

I really hope they show some gameplay soon cause I cant wait.

[VoiceMale]

These guys have cool jobs....well other than the crunching they go through...this has got the be one of the best jobs

[franwex]

Wow. All that for sounds?? To get actual helicopters and jets to fly just to record them is amazing.

I love the flyby sound the jet makes!

[Firebird360]

I'm hoping open world. Multiple vehicles, 4 player co OP

[spicelicka]

Fully open world would be restrictive for a game like this. I don't wanna be stuck to one Ring or planet.

I'd rather have something like mass effect, where Infinity is your hub ship and you can use it to quick travel to different planets/rings. Within those planets I would love to have huge open spaces that feel like open world. It's the best way to keep the diversity.

[chiefJohn117]

Not necessarily. You can have open world but have linear sections of the game in a different location many of games have done this. It can be open world on the ring then chief gets captured and brought on a ship in space where a mission plays out.

ODST was kinda like this remember? I would love a Semi open world Singleplayer campaign and than have an open world live service MP mode. GOTY guaranteed if they do that while living up to Halo standards.

[spicelicka]

@chiefJohn117

Fair enough, that would work too.

[Segata]

If the only idea they have for infinite is open world but just more halo then it would not be that reinvention that brings in new fans like GOW 2018 and BOTW. This was the problem with Gears 5.

[chiefJohn117]

This Halo don't turn it into something it's not. Keep Halo Halo just add additional new mode to experiment with. I suggest a live service Open world MP mode to bring in the casuals however it'll probably take from the arena updates.

[AngainorG7X]

That last sound is pure porn

[Movefasta1993]

lolHalo infinite might have better vehicle sounds than the latest forza gems smh.

[Games1st]

Looks fun with classic cars.

[Niv]

Wow. Mazda Miata for a hovercraft sound lmao
