I\u2019ll focus on the diegetic sounds of the game. I\u2019ll also talk about the effect the audio had on me personally while playing the game during my session.<\/p>\n<p><em>GTA V <\/em>has a lot of audio. It\u2019s a free-world game and there\u2019s an entire city full of people and they all have something to say. When I\u2019m walking the streets, I hear people talking about their problems and casual topics. I can hear the cars passing, the waves of the water and the animals. When I\u2019m driving, I have the option to choose from multiple radio stations. I can play music from multiple genres like hip-hop, rock, and Spanish music. There\u2019s even one station that is hosted by real-life comedian and actor JB Smoove. He\u2019s mostly known for his recurring role in \u201cCurb Your Enthusiasm,\u201d starring Larry David.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to music, there\u2019s also the sounds of the weapons. The gunshots are clear and authentic, the roar of a car\u2019s engine, the explosion from a rocket-launcher, etc. All of the sounds make the GTA world more realistic and believable. These sounds are sounds that you hear in real life and so you expect to hear them in this kind of game otherwise the immersion spell is broken, and you believe the game\u2019s story a little less.<\/p>\n<p>The audio in this game did have an effect on me. Hearing the popular music from today made me happy and set the mood for me. Listening to some of my favorite comedians, like JB Smoove, speak on the radio made me laugh. Listening to the slang of some of the characters made me feel like I was in my old neighborhood. The sounds from the weapons made me focus more on the game and the environment and put me in survival mode. Without the audio, <em>GTA V <\/em>would not be as immersive or realistic. It\u2019s an important aspect of the game that would drastically affect the game\u2019s popularity and appeal if it wasn\u2019t included.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/environmentalpolitics.lawrencekinginfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefaultt.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-76\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/environmentalpolitics.lawrencekinginfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/maxresdefaultt-300x169.jpg?resize=300%2C169\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/environmentalpolitics.lawrencekinginfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Vinewood_Blvd_-_GTA_V.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-77\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/environmentalpolitics.lawrencekinginfo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/Vinewood_Blvd_-_GTA_V-300x169.jpg?resize=300%2C169\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/img><\/img><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/environmentalpolitics.lawrencekinginfo.com\/blog\/game-log\/gt-audio\/\" target=\"_blank\" pf-nom-item-id=\"545\">GT-Audio<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lawrence King Digital Narratives Sample March 2, 2018 In this game log, I want to focus on the audio of GTA V.
