The sound design secrets of Horizon Zero Dawn || Waveform 

I love that airy “ooh ooohhh” sound when you hit a machine component and deal crit damage. I’ve been trying to find it online.

Very interesting. This video should've been 20 minutes long.

I can only say it over and over. The quality in your videos is staggering. Loved every one of them so far.

I love you too, deer. 03:53

I adore the sounds for the sawtooth. The stomping of it patrolling an area keeps you on edge, and its low howl it lets out reminds you “oh boy this thing can eat me whole.”

I'm glad I wasn't the only one blown away by the sound design in this game. Specifically the "clink" of glass when shooting a blaze canister, which you featured in the opening shots of this video, clued me into how much detail there was. The combat feedback sounds are the most iconic and memorable I've ever heard. It was sad to hear Anton say that most people don't pay attention to the sound design at all. It's true, but it shouldn't be. Guerilla did something amazing with this game, and I hope your interview helped them realize how many of us appreciate what they did. Thanks to you, and many, many thanks to Anton and Pinar.

please please do more interviews with sound designer from games. this was stupendous and super informative.

04:30 also a perfect example is ava from ex machina. Her voice is human while her movements sound robotic

As an indie game dev just finding your channel today, sound design is so often overlooked. Reallly great video here. Subbed.

This channel is insane. Every video I click on (I'm on a roll atm since I was looking for something exactly like this) is sick. Good script, makes me laugh which I wasn't even asking for, gives lots of insight into how people behind the scenes think and do things and is totally to the point. I wouldn't even mind if some videos were a bit longer and more detailed either

Aaah it's Anton from Game Audio Podcast, totally recognise his voice! Good work mate, more of these the merrier.

The sound design for Horizon and HFW is superb, having a proper surround sound system is needed to truly appreciate it

Im just eating each one of your videos one after another today that i found your channel. Each one is completely AMAZING and I feel like my mind is expanding as a sound technician and wannabe designer. Keep this up!! Im loving each bit of this!

This is the epitome of excellent youtube channels! Niche, Super informative, hands on, and no click bait! You need to have more subscribers man keep it up. This might be a generic request but it would be awesome to see how they did the sound design for the Last of Us

My personal favourite is the bison-like 'Trampler' it's graphical design and its sounds give it such an amazing presence, such a 'might'. Brilliant Video! I wish it was longer... Horizon has so many phenomenal sounds :)

Personally, my favorite sound is the Thunderjaw firing it's plasma guns

There's one particular sound that really stuck with me, and that's when you shoot the liquid sacks on the Bellowbacks. Love the attention to detail in this game!

This was awesome!! Keep up the great work.

The sound design of Horizon is one of the reasons I constanly return to the game. I am in love with all of it`s sounds - the movement, the combat sounds, ambient music, pretty much everything. My favorite sound would probably be the Ravager`s call. It is such a wonderful mechanized howl, I adore it.

Incredible video, especially the environment sound comparison

One of the first things I noticed about this game was the sumptuous sound design. Especially love the movement sounds, because they're so rich and full, and really communicate that feeling of weight and the complexity of the shape that's moving.

Thanks for doing this one Marshall! Very cool to see some of my old colleagues in one of your videos!

Dude your videos are so amazing. You have a great presence, speak so clearly and you’re so informative with the choice of words. Being a player of this game myself I felt like I just wanted to sit down and have a huge chat about the sound design in this game. Thanks man, I hope your videos come back to life soon 🤙🏽🙏🏽

Bump into your channel by searching a headset for PS4 , I'm glad i kept watching your videos man. You got yourself a new sub

thank's from Brazil. I really appreciated you channel.

You should do a video on the sounds in Half-Life 2. imo that game has amazing sound design. from the radio chatter of the Combine metro police to the bugs chirping away in Route Kanal, to the otherworldy and deep ambient noise coming from the ever looming Citadel in City 17.

My favorite sound is that sonic wave attack the longleg has

I really appreciate you actually hunting down and interviewing the team instead of just talking about the game's sound - im definitely subbing and checking out your other videos

The two sound designers on the video look like perfect nerds for the job in the best possible sense, would totally hire them

My favourite sound is when a ravager sees you for the First time and screams to say other ravager that you are here

It's nice to see this channel grew quite a bit in subscribers.

At 3:32 that is the sound of the Tearblast Arrow. I really like the sounds & music in the game. Good video.

I love the watcher machine sound when they attacking on you and I love all the sound

Thank you. I'm so glad I found this channel.

Best sound is the death bringer. I just stood there hiding, listening to him for minutes =O

Incredible Video, so much work put into this!

Good channel Marshall, thank you. The information in most cases was useful for me. And also it’s interesting to watch such creative video editing.

Aww I wish this video was longer. Great work!

Reminds me of the sound designer on Skyrim at Bethesda Mark Lampert, the guy did some really great work on Fallout 3 as well.

Man, I love your videos! Can't believe I missed this amazing channel till now. Actually my game designer pointed it out to me.

3:31 "the robot sounds", then shows a clip of the arrow sound

Wayyyy underrated channel.

eyy your channel is about to blow tf up

Cool video, dude. Nice and engaging :)

your videos are amazing, each one makes me appreciate and want to understand sound in games more.

This content is amazing, thank you so much for this!

Yo marsh. Sickest fucking intro yet.

Went on a random search and found this great video!

Gosh, why did I discover this video just now? This should be longeeeeeeer! Btw I love Fire-/Frostclaw sounds, they really do make an impression of a bear. But I do love every sound in this game!

these videos are amzing keep up the good work

Great video keep it up! I was hoping you would for a future video explore the topic of how Sci-fi games manage to make space sound interesting. Ambience, space ships, combat, giant stars, and the likes.

I think my favorite sound is the little whistle that the thunder birds make.

Great video on a great game! Keep them coming!

Great work btw, would have loved to hear more

My favorite sound is the laser sound effect the thunderjaws, scrappers and ravagers make.

The ravangers howl is so awesome... I was so intimidated the first time I heard it that I instandly ran.

Loved this!

While I may not have been a massive fan of the actual game cycle, the design of the enviroments and sound is all pretty goddamn cool

Cool video! It would be even cooler if when you giving examples beside visual examples you could add the actual sound examples too 1:33 Btw. You have a new subscriber ;)

Yoooo, just found you randomly. As a music producer i find interesting as fuck! Way too little people gives a thought to these things.. Also extremely cool that you got an interview. I sub'ed!

your videos are really interesting and fun to watch keep up the good work!

My favourite sound, specifically, is the "all clear" bark that the ravagers make when they stop noticing you, or kill a target.

This is so cool

My personal favorites are the sounds of Glinthawks, Longlegs and Scrapers which sound like hyenas.

Great video. Was that everything you got from that interview? It would be great to get an unedited, or much less edited version.

dope video... this is a topic i never knew i loved. PLEASE if you are still doing this, do a video about metal gear games

Yo. Your channel is good.

thank you for this!

My favorite sound is in the final chapter when Hades has to be destroyed and an alarm goes off in the giant tower

Oh no! I really wanted to get to the ambient sound. Is there a second part to this interview? Thanks for this work btw!

You MUST do a video about Eric Brosius, designer of the firsts episodes of Thief series by Looking glass studios. That game alone (Thief the dark project) made me aware of the importance of sound design in videogames.

This was such an interesting video! Thank you.

Thank you! We learned a lot from your video :)

What game should you cover next? Try Rust! The sound design for that game is astonishing!

I sometimes look at your view count and wonder why your channel is only still budding. Way more people should be watching this

This makes me consider buying the game.

hey love your channel, kinda found it by accident because my gf was playing horizon and all i wondered was wow how the f did they make those sounds. anyway keep up the good work.

4:33 anxiety triggered

Oh hey it's one of those channels. You know the one's that start gaining more and more attention and all of a sudden bam a year later and 100k sub and going up.

subscribe .sound effects or video games !! CA

man i already love you))

i would love to see a video on guilty spark voice.

Amazing video! I also really love the sound design of Horizon Zero Dawn, the sound I like the most is the SFX that comes in if you pick up special items (green, blue, lila). The sound gives you a very subtle hint of wich quality you picked up and what is really important: The sound has a very low volume, so I realized about the exist of this sound after 2-4 Hours of playing. But, what is your favorite sound of HZD? Greetings

beautiful video. sub.

My favorite sound is when you hit the enemy in the critical spot with a bow

I wonder what kind of headphones he uses

without a master sound designer any game would be boring

Dude! Make a Patreon, i'll gladly trow my wallet at you

Great video, fellow MM youtuber! Wish it was longer :D

Did some one notice some similarity in Horizon Zero Dawn and The Mandalorian soundtracks?

Can you make a video with just the sounds of all of the robots, please?

Hi Marshall, can you suggest how to make the sound of the concussion, as in the games?(for example the hero get the projectile launcher and then go to like an echo from the other characters and something else)

You should analyze Mass Effect 2 and Elite Dangerous. I think it's one of the best sound designs I've ever heard in a game. Specially if you're into Scifi.

your vids are fuckin cool man keep it up. ^ ^

Marshall come back!

Any chance you could make a video about the sound design in the game SQUAD?

You know which sounds are also suuuuuper cool??? Some animals are walking. You can hear the difference clearly. I love the Shell-walker sound, but can’t find it on YT :/

Cover Rainbow Six: Siege - the game is basically built around the sound.

Do a video on DOOM
