An arrangement is provided which enhances video or audio effects, or both, in response to a notable event that occurs in video game to make the game experience for players more dramatic. Data about action events occurring in the video game may be used to determine if an action event corresponds to a notable event. If so, the data is used to generate and render at least one audio or video effect, or both, corresponding to the notable event. In various illustrative examples, the received data may correspond to an intensity of the action, a success of a subject player character, or the proximity to death of the subject player character. In addition to analyzing such parametric data, the notable event may be defined as one that corresponds to a predetermined action, such as a subject player character attacking another character or vice-versa, a subject player character entering a dungeon for instance, or a subject player character changing levels or zones. |
