Turner Pinball @ 0:20-0:30 — Highlights audio as a major feature focus with complete redesign by named sound designer
“Everything flows really nicely from section to section of the game... you're going to hear different sounds, just different sounds and different music depending on what's going on in the game.”
Collier @ 1:10-1:30 — Describes dynamic audio design philosophy where music and sound change contextually throughout gameplay
“We've really made an emphasis on feedback when it comes to the sounds and lights, um and also what's happening on the display.”
Collier @ 3:00-3:15 — Emphasizes multisensory feedback design as a core game design principle
“This is a new one that we added [Wager Mode]. And in this mode you get to wager your gold and use it for higher shot values. This is a really cool concept. Probably one of my favorites I've ever seen in the game.”
