Sounds in PS

[Duffman]

WHy is teh sound it planetside so weak. Nothing sounds like it backs any punch. I wanna hear a vanguard shoot its 150mm sound like a tank cannon not someone stomp on the ground. I want my cycler to sound like it is shooting bullets not beans.

i should hear a reaver from 100 meters away not .00000005

does anyone else agree with me?

DUFFMAN, NEVER DIES! ONLY THE ACTORS, WHO PORTRAY HIM!


anyway, do you have it set to 3D Hardware support in the sound options settings? That made a big difference to me from MIles or whatever it was on, Software Emulation maybe...

[worldvengence]

They should still redo the sounds...make them a little more omnipotent sounding....plus while they are working on it...they should change the music....it sucks...i mean, who hasnt turned it off yet??

[I Hate Pants]

I want them to tweak the tracer sounds. If someone is firing a machine gun at me. I wanna hear every bullet whizz by me.

If you want more "punch" in the sounds, i.e. you want to feel them through the floor, then I suppose you could alter the 3dsounds.wav file and tick the Read-Only checkbox so it doesn't get re-downloaded. The only thing you have to worry about is making sure all the sounds stay exactly the same length, or you WILL have to re-download. However, if you want totally new or different-sounding sounds, then you'll have to petition the devs for them. Personally, I think modifying the 150mm cannon's sound so it has 500% more bass should be enough for anyone.

P.S. You can open up 3dsounds.idx in Notepad to get a general idea of where all the sounds are in the file.

So long as they make the changes optional. The last thing I want with my 512 is for PS to require even MORE RAM.

I came back to PS after Call of Duty. There, it sounds like they've got a microphone in a sound lab, shooting Thompsons into sides of beef. Here, it sounds like noises you'd make with your mouth as a kid. Some guns are all right, but others aren't... ok, most suck. Sweepers are a nasty example, they don't even sound like a shotgun. Its BOOM clak BOOM, not shoom shoom. You've got to pronounce the gunshots here.

I agree completely. But I guess they may have just "nerfed" the gore and sounds to give it more of a cartoonish feel to let the kids play (and their parents approve/pay)

I think that it's good right now. Not too loud not too soft.

[SilverLord]

I like the sounds, i just with they had more of an impact. I love the music too buddy, needs more.

[Dharkbayne]

True, some sounds sound well... crappy. The guns would be easier to define if they didn't all sound so soft. They should be LOUD, making the need for silenced weapons in spec ops.
