Audio Re-Vamp


Chatarsis

 

Posted

In my opinion City of Heroes needs an audio re-vamp, specifically (but not restricted to) NPC dialog. This would add enormously to my enjoyment of the game and in my opinion its essential to any game upgrade for the product to compete for my subscription long-term with CO or DCUO.

Audio re-vamp please!.

How can I say this...

Not had the sound on for over a year.

An audio re-vamp is needed, however I'd prefer the score and sound effects to be improved first, I also play with the sound off nowadays. NPC speech would be great, but in many games it becomes repetitive as there's normally too few different lines of speech, that said it would help to bring the city to like a bit.

Think I mentioend this somwhere, lord alone knows were though XD
Definately, would love to have more of the epic music (Rikti Mothership music was damn epic if I remember) and a general option for background music would be nice.

yes, no, maybe I'm really undecided about this a definite big /signed to the music and sound effects getting a upgrade there are few bits of good music and good SFX in the game but there are also some truly rubbish SFX as well.

as to the voice acting i think I'm against that I've yet to play a game where I've liked the voice acting its ok the first time you here even the second time but after a while it drags maybe some "get them" type shouts would be ok and some general chatter background noise in the city areas tho would be nice.

the music sure does need a re-vamb, every MMO i ever played has a looped music trough the game while COX is the only quiet game without any background music.
the only thing we do get is an intro music, not something we asked for now did we.
also, the music of pocked D needs it's own slider, not everyone likes the music of pocket D.

a big /signed

/signed to both a revamp on old back ground music and to adding voices to the game.

Had it in the Matrix Online and the first thing they did was kill off Morpheus so they didn't have to re-hire Laurence Fishburne.

General chatter would be nice though no "Get them" stuff. This isn't Legend of Zelda...

got to agree here, and sometimes they don't even fit your character.
something like the situation i had a few months ago, i made a child on around 16 year old and i get an " uuughh" of an old woman.
they better make us choose the sound age, that would fix something.

It's pretty close to nelson's "HA-HA"

I'd like some more ambient sounds, especially for the quiet and the busy parts of a zone, so there's more difference between standing on the sidewalk of a busy street, and standing in a backyard.
Diferent sounds for night and day would also be cool.

Do you mean like the revamped Faultline?

When you stand at the doughnut shop, you can hear plates, chatter, and general doughtnuttery shenanigans.

/signed.

If, as in an earlier interview with Posi suggested, there are going to be some graphics updates, it makes sense that there should be some sound updates that go hand in hand with that as well.

Completely agree about the taunt sounds.. maybe some "yo momma" jokes ?

Now you mention it, I think it's what a zombie-Nelson would sound like.

SWTOR to be fully voiced. Wow!

The first half is about Mass Effect 2 (looks amazing ofc), but scan to half way through and they start to talk about SWTOR.

I want Lord Recluse to have an epic voice, like the guy from unreal tournament 3, or some thing like that :3

Either way, signed!

I know NPCs in 2moons talk, and that game is EPIC in terms of pve.

He needs to say nothing, I mean I'd understand the look that said bugger off from a guy like him.

Heh, true.

Anyway, yes in-game voices would be nice.
The 'Would be Nice' list is probably....hell, I have no idea how long.
