Setting

The game seems to be set in the future, after America had been destroyed from atomic bombs.

This was created by using field recording to get the right ambience for the outside.

Mood The mood set by the audio is very calm and musical. Then all of a sudden you can start to hear robotic noises. Then all of a sudden it goes dull and you can hear a gun shot. You stop hearing the classical music and then start to hear dull and dark music.The mood varies a lot during this cut scene. This is due to what it tries to explain.

Traditional instruments seem to be what were used to produce what sort of mood .

Game genre The game seems to be very futuristic and technologically advanced. For example you can know this with sounds of robotic movements placed into the background. You also know this because you can hear the gun before shot make sounds that are associated with the future.

They maybe used VST effects or studio recording to make the sounds of futuristic noises like robots rolling past.

Narrative The narration explains how the country had nothing, other than the New Vegas Strip. It also explains how there were tribes at war, and no matter what there will always be war.

This will have defiantly been produced within a studio so you can clearly hear what is trying to be said.
