Vibration's a pretty important aspect [of audio]. It's not a thing that most common folks ever consider: just how important is vibration?

It's hugely important, sorry.

Go home and slam your kitchen door and listen to what happens to all the stuff on your shelves and in your cutlery drawer and all that kind of thing. That's the experience we're going for. And I know that's just a small example of it, but it should be exactly the same. If your ship gets hit by anything, or if it gets a force upon it, which may be gravity, it may be extreme G from performing a maneuver, you want all these things to be straining, every single part; maybe parts that aren't intended to move, but definitely the parts that are as well.

Yeah, it's a complicated thing to achieve, and we're thinking about it all the time. It's not just the case of just adding metal rattling or a bit of low-frequency vibration. We want to bring more to it. We're considering haptic stuff as well. We want to really consider it from now and build for the future. It's not just a case of noise, it's beyond that. And like Graham says, everything in life has vibration attached to it, because a sound wave moves objects in different ways, and the reflections of those objects affect us in all manner of ways. And we want to bring that experience.

I think a big part of it is action and reaction. We can do all the cool sound design in the world and put it in the game, but it would only really give you so much level of immersion. It's more about how does that sound propagate in the 3D space and how does that affect everything else? So this inheritance system allows impulses to be passed from an event to everything that's connected and have that all have appropriate vibrations, down to the tightest ones to the big flappy vibration stuff. That's your big immersion silver bullet.

It's going to affect everything. It's almost like a force that surrounds us in the universe that we can't see. Pardon, it's stealing from another title. But fundamentally, that's going to affect the way we perceive the audio, this vibration system, and coining it as a vibration system is almost a slight.

It's almost limiting, yeah, because what we're actually building is a resonance system. And it's not just about making things vibrate because of the things that they're physically connected to. If we go back to the example we talked about right at the beginning, where we've got ship flyovers, there's a heck of a lot of force coming off that thing. And if you've got anything on the ground that can rattle as that thing flies over, we're going to make it rattle.
