Capcom wants to modernize the audio for Mega Man 11
Game Informer has posted the next part of its coverage for its month-long features of Mega Man. For the latest entry, the magazine focuses on audio design and spoke with audio director Ryo Yoshii.
Yoshii indicated that Capcom is taking the sounds of Mega Man 11 very seriously. In line with the visual look, the team wanted to modernize the audio.
Yoshii said:
“Because the visuals have been updated, it’s a more 3D look and a little more realistic, we figured that incorporating previous sounds wouldn’t jive well with the visuals. We didn’t want there to be a disconnect, so we felt that in order to match the visuals we needed to make sure that the audio was a little more modernized. We didn’t want to just use synthesized sounds. We wanted to mix it with Foley work to create a more authentic sound.”
