SOUND FOR VIDEO GAMES

Psychology of Sound
Name a game where the sound really stood out for you. Make a list of why you
remember it.
Grand Theft Auto 5 I feel as though the sound really stood out in this game
because you could hear every movement from the game, from footsteps, to
shooting guns, and even car engines and braking. There are loads of different
sounds within Grand Theft Auto 5 and they all stood out for me.
