Can I has?



Okay this is again another revived topic from the ancient forums.

EVE sound engine is currently broken:
Sounds cutting off (sound channels problem?)
Super loud gun sounds (poorly written algorithms... sounds do not stack. go study physics.)
Sounds not playing (sound channels?)

EVE sound effects themselves needs a re-done with the same mindset of redoing the graphics and nebulae and so on.
Instead of low-fidelity cracking coughing pewpews can we have hollywood class sound recording and production?

I'm sure I have missed out a lot of points. But all in all, EVE sounds need some attention.

EVE sounds must be looked at. It's a dead feature that must be rejuvenated for the good of EVE.

True, but the pod is recreating it for your pleasure.

I remember sounds being awesome back in empyrean age and quantum rise.

Apocrypha kinda broke it, Along with stargate activation effects.

It would add to the immersion, something that CCP seem to be aiming for.

If the cannons had something similar to the sound effect below, giving the player a better idea of scale, it would be amazing.

Also another example, I'm sure a lot of you have seen, the Romulan drill that cores in to Vulcan. I couldn't find a decent video showing it properly but if the Amarr Titan had similar style coupled with time dilation, being able to hear the beam tearing through capital ships would be amazing.

I'd guess it will be low on CCP's priorities at the moment since so many people have the "Eve Has sound ?" thing going on... even though it has some of the best background music I've heard in a game.

Honestly

I don't think the weapons could sound much worse

that first vid should so be the sound for the 1400's

id also like to put in my 2 ISK for the sound of Tachyon beams

in all honesty the entire sound engine needs scrapping and rebuilding fromt he ground up.

+1 to this. Eve's got plenty of eye candy (more would be nice though). Please CCP bring some thunder to our ear drums.
