sound design

[jadefriendly]

The sound design in this game is just so ridiculously good.

just thought I'd mention it.

six months on and I'm still deeply impressed, when I get a chance to play in the studio nice & loud...

Not that it's not mentioned before, however we can't praise the sound engineers enough!

I also like the sound design except for the weapon sounds.

I also like the sound design except for the weapon sounds.

basically filters down to

pewpewpew
pew
peeeeeeew

bangbangbangbangbang
bang

along with plasma accelerators, whos sounds i can't really imitate

I really like the sound as well, I just wished for an option to turn off the board computer emulation of outside sounds, so I could just listen to the inside humming of my ship's engine...

And I read the thread title with "sound" as an adjective, thus meaning the whole design of Elite was robust and... Oh well.

Yeah, but otherwise, what everyone else has said in all the other threads on sound.

I think the sound of a rail gun is awesome, even when I'm the one getting hit by it!

Then there's the ambient soundscape when you're looking at different objects in-game...

It's one of my favorite parts of the game. Bought a nice 5.1 surround just for the game!!

I (almost) never play with the sound on.

This is about the only game I play without any music/movie in the background

Say what you like about the rest of the game, the Sound Dept. nailed it.
