This is Vegas
was developed by Surreal Software and published by Midway. It was designed to compete in the style and genre the GTA series is well known for. The main difference though is the story in Vegas was written to be a comedy. I was brought on to the audio team to work on mission sounds, ambiences, and dialogue. I also helped out on some of the many in-game cinematics. It was a unique challenge in a game project to use audio to help tell a funny story. My past projects all used proprietary game engines. For Vegas we used FMOD designer in combination with Unreal 3. I got to dig into the Unreal 3 Editor and play with more advanced audio features than I previously had available to me. After Midway was purchased by Warner Bros. Vegas was permanently shelved.
