Sounds in PS

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)

Omnipotent means all-powerful not all-knowing.

Good call. Apparently it's been a looooong day today >_<

Original intended point does stand though: Who the hell uses omnipotent to describe a sound?

[BigFreak]

Omnipresent anyone?

I rather like the Cycler sound, quiet, almost like a silence weapon. Is a nice thing to have really.

That's right, but you still wouldn't say a sound is all powerful. It still doesn't quite make sense, since a sound's power can only extend to the effects of sound. You'd just say it was powerful.

I agree. The sounds in ps lack the 'oomph' of their real life counterparts. I can hit a hammer against a table and end up with a more epic sound than the chick of a 150mm gun in PS.

I do agree that some of the sounds are weak, but I happen to like most of the VS sounds (since they dont really have real-world counterparts to be based upon). I mean, who doesn't like the zappy lazor beam noises? Also, The TR chaingun has a nice noise, i think. While it may not be "accurate", it is most certainly pleasant on the ear. (I'm a musician; some visual artists find pleasure in the way an object looks, as a musician i find pleasure in some sounds.)

I have to say it does annoy me being Mowed by a Mosquito (last night) and to not have heard it coming!

(I was standing on top of a hill with nothing else around - The mossie resorted to mowing 'cos with Surge and Nano I was taking too long to kill it would seem)

[QUOTE]Omnipotent means all-powerful not all-knowing.[/QUhes got you there mate, i think the word he was looknig for was ominous i.e scary

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.

[Dharkbayne]

How would changing the sounds require more ram?

I'm under 18, and I have a full understanding of Queenside's point. This may sound pathetic, but my parents, who are otherwise quite un-strict, will not let me play most M games, and if Planetside had had gore and bloodcurdling screams, I'm ashamed to say I would not have been able to play it. So I thank the Devs for including people like me in their prospective players list .
