MKX :The new sound design model

[Eddy Wang]

1 completely different music by each round

The finish him tune from round 3 is the same on the round 2, but still just take a closer listening in the round 2 music from the cove stage, i can rest peaceful now.

Does it really matter if it changes or not though? I mean oen of the few important things (for nostalgic value as well) is the iconic tunes for our iconic stages. I mean it doesn't really matter in the end about what changes in mid-round or not. Sound design should just stay the way it's always been.

um... wat

What's the point in quoting that post for? If something isn't broken, don't try to fix it. Simple as that.

I like the sound of the music, though it's more atmospheric than memorable, but it's just so darn quiet... I really wish NRS would make some awesome stage or character themes which they can remix for future releases.

Everything evolves over time dude, sound design is no different. If you expect to have the same music as the last one that's like expecting them to have the same gameplay mechanics as the last o rthe same graphics as the last (if they ain''t "broke" right?).

I noticed this too. Awesome sound design/voice acting. Is Dan Forden confirmed to be back for MKX?

The real question is...can a blind man play it at EVO again
Shit was hype.

I remember that. It was hype.

The stage music sounds cool now. MK9 stage music was blank.

there is no old stages in the game, not until now tho, also what is wrong with the music, the IGN videos are messed up to hide the dialogues, so there is parts of the music that we aren't listening that well yet

That sound effect in round 2 where Sub-Zero was doing the fatality sounded like a laser blast lol.

you know I'm going to be there next year! MKX sound design is as badass as ever.

Also, regarding the op, man I didn't even notice the change in music for each round. Nice find!

 

[ShotgunInsanity]

Holy shit on the Kotal Kahn video, Kotal does a 46% combo at 1:30, it probably has something to do with that totem on the ground

come on, you're supposed to have enhanced hears compared to me hehe, there is no way you would miss that

Lol nah, my ears fail me sometimes. I go to loud ass concerts so my hearing suffered a little, but now I wear ear muffs to protect them cuz I don't think I could play MK without it hahaha.

 

[Tony at Home]

I still really can't hear the music, which is a shame. The music should be good enough that people won't mind actually being able to hear it.

 

[InFlames]

I hope they have the music at the loudest from default, since I didn't realize the Injustice music was only half volume until 6 months later.

Seems there are " phase cancellation" phenomena in IGN's MKX videos, that's why the sound effects and music get fucked up. Probably the mix between L and R channels causes these.

I'm amazed of the sound design so far, and also the score fits like hell in MK! Tribal/ ethnic sounds and middle east scales as well...Amazing!!!!!! Let the "MK Techno era" be forgotten forever

Dude, you've broken down all these videos so hard! Great Job - Respect
