The Greatest Video Game Sound

[xXGeckoXx]

Good evening. As per usual a pretty self explanatory thread. What is your favourite sound from a video game? Not the music/soundtrack but a sound effect.

Here's mine:
I don't even like Zelda that much, but that sound is so damn cool.

Spoiler: The FF victory theme!

Sad thing is i have that and the final fantasy battle theme on my ipod and phone, i use it as my ring tone sometimes lol.

I like this one, it's so ominous.

It reminds me of the demo Winter Releases 98 that came with the Playstation.

As people have said before, the Achivement chime is delightful. Alternatively, the sound of a shotgun being alternatively fired and pumped as you slowly advance down a hallway, blowing away one goon after another.

 

[Void(null)]

Any and all SFX from Worms


Just hearing one of those iconic SFX is enough to take me back.

Also the Pulse Rifle and Radar sounds from AVP.

I want you to go onto Gears of War 2, pick up a grenade launcher, and fire it at an enemy.

The *chunk* *SPLAT* noise is incredibly satisfying.

The Wilhelm Scream. Best sound period

These are from movies, but the same sound has been used in tons of video games as well.

Completely understandable, and potentially very inappropriate. Imagine hearing that when someone calls you to tell you a family member's dead.

The healing sound off Half-Life and everything the commentators say on Unreal Tournament and Quake.

One of my favourites:

Hmmmm depends on the family member entirely and the context, get a phone call saying grandma's dead, oh dear so sad, but the victory theme tune would be in tune with the inheritance . I'm well aware that sounds quite bad on my part but its only a bit of light hearted fun .

I would honestly have to say the sound of your arrow launching in Oblivion, with its silent strike, and the satisfaction of a dying scream not long after.

 

[MetaKnight19]

The 1-up sound from the Mario series.

 

[LiftYourSkinnyFists]

Diablo II sound bites are awesome.


"Not even death can save you from me" - Diablo II

 

[Z of the Na'vi]

The beginning in this video.

"HYDRO THUNDER!!!!"

 

[Wrann]

The wilhelm scream it makes me laugh ever time I hear it.

Edit: or maybe "Wizard needs food badly" yes only the wizard.
