Sounds much, much better. I do however feel like the echos ought to last much longer, I may be spoiled by the beautiful 3D sound of BF3 though, and pulling off what they pulled off with the sound in BF3 is a big ask.

Ooh, wonder what vehicle / weapon they're for?

The last two sounded like energy weapons to me. One of them in the middle sounded like a high powered rifle (bolt driver?). Looks to be a mixed sampling.

Are we really this desperate for the least tiniest bit of new info?

Yes, yes we are.

KrazeyVIII · 2012-03-21, 07:20 PM

I think I heard a shotgun, empire specific rifles, explosions, and a charge to fire gun?

Gogita · 2012-03-21, 07:24 PM

The last WOOSH was so satisfying...

Idk what i heard but i do know i need a towel now.

Very nice. Never cared much for how many PS1 weapons sounded like typewriters.

It'll be interesting to see how it all comes together. Overall, I'm hoping for a little less pew-pew and a little more sensible.

Yeah, they set the realistic/detailed bar out of reach for anything but a big-name blockbuster title.
Luckily, one need not have such crazy detail to have good sound in a game.

The last one is awesome except instead of (bear with me here) shwwwwit-sherrrrrrr it the second part should have more of the sound of a massive release of energy, so it should start with more of a bang. so like shwwwiit-Bsherrrrr (the B is for BANG!)

I am not a sound designer of any type please no bricks through my window

FastAndFree · 2012-03-21, 08:42 PM

Was I just imagining that at least half of these sounded like VS tech?

Thoreaux · 2012-03-21, 09:28 PM

First three sound like different grenade types. ES maybe?

The last two sound like something big and high-tech exploding. Shield generators maybe.

Middle two.... big guns. Either artillery or tank cannons.

Actually, taking bets:

First one is a TR grenade.
Second is... NC grenade.
Third is VS grenade.

That last one make anyone else think they're working on the Lancer a bit as a side project?

Hamma · 2012-03-21, 09:50 PM

Hah this is pretty cool just saw this.

Hamma · 2012-03-21, 09:57 PM

By the way he said they were facility explosions on Twitter.
