Alan Wake 2: Audio Systems in a Game of Two Halves
Key members of Remedy Entertainment's audio team will tell the story of a deep collaboration between different disciplines within game audio design, and between the audio team and wider disciplines on the development team.
Alan Wake 2 is a game of two halves. The foreboding alternate dimension of the Alan's Dark Place, and the journey of Saga through nostalgic primordial forests of the Pacific Northwest are constantly juxtaposed throughout the game. The duality, and the breadth and depth of mechanics they bring with them represented a creative and technical challenge for the audio team.
By taking key scenes from the game that showcase the most compelling moments in Alan Wake 2's sound design, technical audio design and music design, we will discuss and demonstrate how each of our systems came together to craft these moments.
