Weapon Sound Feedback

<< < (2/4) > >>

Mangley:
Interesting...

Well I'm curious to hear that sound too, though I think the current one is great as it is. I guess I'll be listening out for any sound changes in beta 4... I certainly hope that there's no degrade in any of the new sounds.

Of course, getting people to agree on things like this is challenging... since a lot of people aren't thinking in the same mind set. Some people don't care about the weapons sounding faithful to the originals, particularly some players who never played Goldeneye in the first place may even think that some of the recreated sounds are 'unrealistic' or just don't sound nice.

The Goldeneye: Source design philosophy seems to be recreate then improve, so that you've not only got that nostalgic value but it's built upon and evolved. I think there are people who aren't thinking along these lines. What makes a good or bad sound is an arbitrary opinion, but I think people can actually agree fairly unanimously that a sound does or does not sound like the original.

I think asking if people like a sound or not is as sensible as asking if they like a certain kind of music, you're going to get too much of a mixed response.. But if you ask if a cover song sounds like an original without asking if it's better than it or not... you'll get a fairly concrete response.

JamesBondMan:
Everything sounds great to me! no complaints here.

I'm smack in the middle of original and actual SFX as far as the weapons go.
The only two I don't care for are the KF7 and Phantom. (Though I'm not sure what the Phantom should sound like so it doesn't completely count.)

rdcarden2006:
Even though this topic is a little old, I felt that this might be a good place to add this. I watched the Beta 4 trailer and noticed that the Rocket Launcher didn't have that "shrill" noise when shot as it did on the N64. Did you guys decide not to put it in or are there plans in the future? Just wondering. Me personally, I would like to see it in. Great job though with the mod and looking forward to Beta 4. I'm happy to see you guys continuing to improve GE: Source.

Mangley:
I agree.. 'shrill'. I couldn't have described it better.

I think the sound in the teaser trailer is the default HL2 rocket launcher though? Maybe the sound is still being made..
