Most video game studios, or at least the bigger ones, will have experience with Foley, a long-standing craft that revolves around creating cinematic sound effects using everyday objects.<\/p>\n

God Of War Is Still The GOAT For Opening Boss Fights<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

It\u2019s nothing new. Many of Star Wars\u2019<\/em> most iconic sounds were made using stuff like TV tubes and vacuum cleaners<\/span>, and there are loads of excellent features on the internet showing how everyone from Bungie <\/span>to Naughty Dog<\/span> have used Foley to bring their own games to life. Even Unpacking<\/em>, a cute little pixel game about putting things on shelves, featured over 14,000 <\/em>different sound effects<\/span>. <\/p>\n

Today it\u2019s God of War Ragnarok\u2019s<\/em> turn, in this excellent video put together by Wired<\/em><\/span>, and this is already one of my all-time favourites, mostly because of the sheer volume <\/em>of effects it shows. <\/p>\n

Meeting PlayStation Studios\u2019 Joanna Fang, we get to see how loads of the game\u2019s crunchiest, squelchiest sound effects were made. A galloping horse\u2019s hooves are actually just a pair of toilet plungers. Kratos smashing an enemy\u2019s skull in is actually Fang crushing a melon with a crowbar. One of the most interesting is that you can get a perfect replica of snow crunching underfoot by…walking on coal instead. <\/p>\n
