For god emprah's sakes CHANGE the bolter sounds

[Shrinkshooter]

They are legitimately so bad. So incredibly bad. Just watch the trailer and listen to the weapons fire. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xBGt1JP0NTA

These are supposed to be massive, heavy, automatic handcannons firing explosive rounds.. What even is this audio design? It sounds like he's plinking some LR 22s downrange! You might as well replace the sound of a nuke going off with an audio clip of firecrackers.

Devs, please change this. If I can feel it subtract from the experience so much just from watching a trailer, it's not good. Bolters do not sound like M16s.

Agreed. The roar of mag dumping in darktide feels incredible.

[Shrinkshooter]

I've never played darktide but I've heard everyone else say that, too. Boltgun did a fine enough job on it as well.

[Dank Age of Memeology]

First game did a good job, the bolt pistol even had a better sound than the boltgun. But here, it doesn't really sound as you would expect. They should take a look at Darktide's boltgun.

[ScouseUlster]

darktide has the best boltgun sound, boltgun also had good boltgun sounds

[Psychedelic Adventurer]

Yeah. I love what I’ve seen so far. But the Bolter and H.Bolter sounds are not up to snuff.

[Delta_Assault]

Maybe someone can mod them

[Captain Konnius]

Agreed. Look what disservice bad weapons sounds did to the Angels of Death show.
This needs to be addressed.

No it didnt, the bolter sounded weak in Boltgun

Devs seem to have this idea that the bolter is some basic starting weapon so it should sound weak. No it isnt, its a devastating weapon that blows dudes into large chunks. It doesnt even shoot bullets it shoots tiny rocket propelled grenades.

This just goes to show how underappreciated audio design is, and how few actually good audio engineers/designers there are working in game dev. Its been like 6 years since I last played Elite Dangerous, but I still remember how that game sounded. It was amazing, the raspy roars of the Viper's engines especially

I'll repeat myself: Boltgun did a fine enough job with the Bolter sounds. As in, better than most devs who screw it up, like exhibit A: the video I posted in the OP.

You know what's "weak"? THOSE sounds. The Boltgun game is the hill you wanna die on? Really? If you finish a crusade against the laughable sound effects seen in the video above, then you can get back to me about how "bad" Boltgun's sounds are.

I'll repeat myself: It sounded weak in Boltgun. That doesnt mean I dont agree that in other games it can sound even weaker, like here

Just because something else is even worse doesnt make the first thing automatically good. Dont be so childish

Have it your way. How about this? You're wrong, case closed, no more discussion to be had.

Boltgun has been released. Whine about its sound design all you want; unless someone mods it, you're crying over spilt milk. This game still has the potential to change for the better.

And that's leaving aside the fact that this has nothing to do with Boltgun regardless. You came by and took issue with a passing remark and went off about it, when it's not the point of the thread. This is about THIS game and how its bolter sound design as portrayed in this trailer is unconscionable. If they don't fix it, it will detract massively from the experience.

Keep bumping the thread though, more eyes is better

Gonna cry? blocked btw

[Shrinkshooter]

"Gonna cry" and "stop being childish" said by the person who was crying and decides to block people like a child building an echo chamber.

You love to see it.

At least they don't like AK47's, like they did pre-dawn of war 2.
