If they're facility explosions then the last one sounds kinda like what I'd hope for an exploding generator. The whole two part sound is perfect for it, the killing blow that brings down the gen followed by the massive release of energy from the generator itself when it goes down.

As for the sounds not having enough echo, I wouldn't worry. The sound engine itself might have built in convolution to add varying levels of reverb depending on the environment, at leas I hope it will.

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.

I agree, these are fantastic but they could use a longer lasting echo.

Good point!

Sounds good! I've been wondering about the audio for a while now, people tend to forget how important it is. It'd be really nice if the bass component of the sounds carried further than the rest, so from a distance you'd hear the THUMP THUMP THUMP of a battle resolve into these explosion sounds as you get closer.

Meh, I wish I could listen to these but I'm at work so I can't. But I'm trying to read how awesome they are.

Yeah that's what I was thinking, time will tell!

Aye, I wouldn't worry about the lack of reverb just yet.

I never did Tweet their sound designer about holophonic sound...

Kran De Loy · 2012-03-22, 06:29 AM

At a guess...

1) Maybe a grenade.
2)Some sort of Energy Weapon.
3)Another Energy Weapon, I would guess the Fish-on.
4)Similar to a Tank Cannon, but much smaller sounding, maybe maybe not energy based again.
5)Definitely something mechanical (vehicle, aircraft or structure) getting blown up.
6)Definitely something mechanical getting blown up, probably something Vanu by the energy-y feeling to it.
7)Again something really big and energy-y blowing up, maybe a base generator?

Now THAT's a bolt driver.

I asked about reverb on twitter, and Garry confirmed that it will be processed in real time. Pretty cool.

Nice! Sounds are coming together well

Last one might be an early iteration of an OS.... ending of it isn't ka 'BOOM' enough, but I can see how it might still need polish.
