Microphone detection

[Turambar]

I was a little dissapointed when I discovered that the PC version has this function totally removed... just because most people hated it... is there any way in which this function can be activated again? Any mod for PC to bring it back?

A lot of people have asked for it over the years but I've never heard of a mod for that ever being made.

Eh... it never really worked anyway. Most people generally don't scream when they're playing horror games. Streamers and let's players do because it makes the stream/video more fun, but they're mostly faking it.

Microphone detection would just lead to you getting killed when you cough/sneeze/fart, when your dog barks, when someone knocks on your door loud enough or rings the doorbell, or someone in your house makes a noise, or your phone rings.

...all things you wouldn't have happening if you were on Sevastopol (except for the sneezing/coughing/farting, but you'd make 100% sure you did all those things as quiet as a mouse does them).

Not that I'm proud of it, but I've actually loudly gasped/even let out a bit of a scream a couple of times when playing horror games all by myself, Isolation, AVP and Alien Resurrection games spring to mind - usually when a door opens and a pair of jaws jump at me! In this game it's the damn vent entrance the Alien does, even if I know to expect it it still catches me off-guard at times.

We just have to lock ourselves in our home, play at night and get rid of any pets/wife. The perfect "isolation" experience!

I recently tried watching a streamer doing microphone detection; painful to watch because they were hideously slow, which puts you at disadvantage even without the microphone feature.

Microphone detection is a gimmick, up there with "3D technology."

Nope, not happening.

I think games are funnier when you can talk s*** to the aliens, burp, fart, or be jumpscared from them hearing the littlest thing.

on paper it sounds fun but when you think about the mechanic it falls apart. if you are the kinda person that cant control when you make sounds then just slam the wrench against a wall every once in a while randomly. same effect.

the only benefit i can see this brings is for streamers and entertainment. as they have to speak.

also your cat or a loud noise from outside (cars, police etc) will trigger it. if you think total ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ getting you killed is fun then well you have to get the console version.

I too would love this feature, anything to just add that layer of immersion can be fun especially for streaming and entertainment
