One thing everyone knows is that sound makes up a large percentage of what we like in games, movies, music [obviously] and in real life in general. It's that guttural chop-chop of massive rotors as a Chinook flies overhead. Maybe it's the beloved growl of a P-51 Mustang .
Aircraft not your speed? Maybe you can't get enough of the sound of car engines, explosion [or the crowbar sound you always hear in an explosion.] Maybe its the sound of rain, running water, the muffled growl of thunder; maybe even a soft breeze. What ever it is, that makes you go. "ooh, aaah...." when you hear it, we all agree those sounds have an allure to them. It's just good.
Well sometimes you have great memories of cool sounds; like in one of your favorite video games. Sometimes, and only in particularly rare moments, do you get to hear the re-envisioning of those sounds; brought up to today's standards. One such example is HALO: Combat Evolved Anniversary.
Watch and most importantly, listen, to the video below. See how the ten year old sound effects evolve into the new. You'll also get a chance to see the sharp contrast between the old and the new in the realm of graphics.
[Man this just makes me even more excited.]
Remember, HALO: Combat Evolved Anniversary is out the box and on shelves Nov: 15th, 2011.
Right around the corner!
Later!

That was a cool video. It's like the old sound-effects records you could get back in the stone-age with I was a kid, but better because it's a video too!
