According to a Trendwatch survey, 26 percent of U.S. audio recording/mixing studios/facilities say they do work for games, as do one in five (21 percent) animation studios. Since Trendwatch’s Summer 2003 survey, the number of audio recording/mixing studios doing work for games has jumped 16 percent. Game enthusiasts not only require hot FX, but also demand high-quality surround sound as part of their gaming experience. With the cost of game development now hitting the $15+ million mark, watch for more animation, FX and post houses to be working on game development projects.
