Very tough cause the weather was very bad and we were soaked, but we endure and the Ninja Theory audio team went to not only one of the most incredible places I've been but also by far one with the most incredible acoustics ever. Hard to describe. Photos don't make justice.

Some audio notes about our gameplay trailer:
-Almost all 3d sounds use Project acoustics and spatial audio: incredible technologies.
-Everything in this demo is in engine, real time, no tricks. This is real. As such not everything is perfect(yet :D)

Isle of Skye. Unleashing our inner Vikings. This is part of some references and looking at how acoustics sound in different environments. This place is called Old man of Storr. I loved it there.
Our Audio team experimenting with acoustics on Scotland's Isle of Skye. Our goal is to replicate this in-engine, to create an immersive sound experience.
Apologies to any locals who we might have frightened with our shouts and screams!

I want to say that I didn't like at all how the music award was presented at The Game Award show.Without the proper care and attention,not even showing a little excerpt of each nominee Music. Composition is an extremely hard and creative craft/art.We should show respect and care.

We need to explain better what we do on sound design. It's at least for me annoying that people think good sound design equals good music. Both are part of the "what you hear" in a game, but are totally different processes that only share some common processes. what do you think?
