Infrasound and frictional games - Jabz - 10-21-2011
Hello, i didnt know where to put this, but i havee been reading alot lately about infrasonic / infrasound. its a low frequency sound that you dont hear but only "feel" (beneath 20hz)
"Infrasound has been known to cause feelings of awe or fear in humans. Since it is not consciously perceived, it can make people feel vaguely that supernatural events are taking place"
you can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrasound
This is not some magic thingy but just your body or mind (no idea) reacting to this frequency. there have beent alot of test and experiments.
Wouldnt this be awesome if used in a game like this? or is it even possible to do? i would like to have someone of frictional games have his thoughts on this since amensia is all about sound.
Greets! (ps i love amnesia and penumbra series <3 )

i feel it might do some serious damage to less-equipted speakers, but still it would be pretty cool
RE: Infrasound and frictional games - Jabz - 10-21-2011
well i dont think damage per-se, you need good speakers and put the volume op high to "feel" this frequency and not everyone has that option.
but maybe they can experiment with this sort of thing
then this game will be almost too scary 
people will get strokes and such muhahahahnah j/k ;p but should be even more intense!
btw this is an awesome read of what frequency's do to people with every frequency range, lol sound terrifying

Its fucking scary. I just tried it and i cant watch one video, because i always have fear crawling up my spine thinking that might be a scream video.
RE: Infrasound and frictional games - Jabz - 10-21-2011
uhmm what are you talking about ich666? xd
RE: Infrasound and frictional games - Ich666 - 10-21-2011
that video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27OAjOaSwws
somehow i constantly expected a scream video.
RE: Infrasound and frictional games - Jabz - 10-21-2011
oh haha, did i link that video or am i just blind?
still hoping for a fritctional developer to have his thought on this
