Explore a vast open world, rendered with the proprietary Apex engine, featuring a full day/night cycle with unpredictable weather, complex AI behavior, simulated ballistics, highly realistic acoustics, and a dynamic 1980’s soundtrack. Get Ready. Then Fight Back. All enemies are persistently simulated in the world, and roam the landscape with intent and purpose. By tactically combining weapons, skills, and equipment, you’ll be able to lure, cripple, and destroy your enemies. If you manage to destroy a specific enemy component, be it armor, weapons or sensory equipment, the damage is permanent. Enemies will bear those scars until you face them again, whether that is minutes, hours, or weeks later. 1-4 Player Seamless Multiplayer. Go it alone, or team-up with up to three of your friends in seamless co-op multiplayer. Do anything in your power to level the playing field; scavenge for weapons and equipment, set traps and use the environment to your advantage in intense sandbox combat. Collaborate and combine your unique skills to take down enemies, support downed friends by reviving them, and share the loot after an enemy is defeated. In Generation Zero, living is winning.

  • The Effect of Dynamic Music in Video Games an Overview of Current Research
    The Effect of Dynamic Music in Video Games An Overview of Current Research Department of Game Design Author: Léo F. Smith Bachelor’s Thesis in Game Design, 15 c Program: Game Design and Project Management Supervisors: Mikael Fridenfalk, Hans Svensson Examiner: Masaki Hayashi May 2020 Abstract Historically, game audio has been a peripheral feature in game development that has significantly evolved in recent years. Music as a meaningful emotional and narrative conveyor has become a central element in contemporary video games. Dynamic music, sound that is able to flexibly and smoothly adapt to the game state and interact with the player’s in-game actions, is at the forefront of a new era of music composition in games. This survey paper examines the experiential nature of games and the effect of dynamic music on the player’s audial experience. It looks at game design theory, immersion, the function of game music, sound perception, and the challenges of game music. Then, it presents compositional methods of dynamic music and practical insights on FMOD Studio as a middleware. Furthermore, current research on how dynamic music affects the player experience and future adaptations are explored. It concludes that the increasing need of dynamic music producers will precipitate innovation and research in novel domains such as biometric feedback systems and augmented/virtual reality. As dynamic music expands outside of the gaming sphere, it is likely to become a ubiquitous form of media that we will interact with in the future. Keywords: interactive music, adaptive music, dynamic music, emotion, game music, generative music, music, player experience, video games.

The open- world stealth-action game, which pits players against sinister machines in an alternate-history 1980s Sweden, has sold over one million copies since its release in March 2019 on PC, PlayStation®4, and Xbox One.
