@Devs.. We gotta talk about this Plasma Weapon sound effect...

[Baklavah]

Plasma weapons in the Imperium of Man do not go "pew pew". The guns sound so friggin dinky... If you'd like a reference on what these weapons should REALLY sound like, might I suggest that you watch the 5-part Astartes fan series before Games Workshop C&Ds the creator. THAT is how a Plasma weapon sounds. None of this "pew pew". It's more like "THUUUUM THUUUM!" Needs to be bass-y as hell and echo in the halls... not sound like a Lasgun trying to fire golf balls.

you are the second or the same guy who comes up with this again and dont get me wrong you are surely right i mean i have never fired a plasma weapon in my life but im sure you are right

i have nothing against a new sound as long as it is cool and loud not like in other games where devs are afraid of useing loud sounds

but i have to say i kinda like these pew pew sounds and i fu..ing love the plasma cannon when ever i take a break from martyr and come back and shoot this thing im instantly hooked xD

the emperor protects

peace ;-)

The sound effects of the Plasma weapons were all approved by Games Workshop so I don't think any major changes will take place but I will convey your message to our sound engineers, they will have a look on it.

Not trying to be disrespectful, it just sounds... so... underwhelming. I'm enjoying the game quite a bit, but every time I fire a plasma weapon I expect a lot of bass and it's kinda odd not to hear it.

And well, if GW has a say in what you use I wouldn't expect it to get changed either. But, I digress.

+1 to OP's suggestions. Just started playing the game a few days ago and it was actually the first "WTF?" moment for me when I fired a plasma weapon for the first time.

Other than that I think the sounds are great overall.

Games Workshop is notorious for being absolutely slipshod with quality control. That's not a mark against you guys in any way, I'm only pointing out that GW's approach to anything lore or canon-wise is basically "okay yeah whatever, good enough." The OP is correct in his assessment (there's also the fact that plasma weapons are unreliable and would sometimes spontaneously explode instead of shoot, and that personal teleporters could do terrible, terrible things to you on occasion, but obviously for gameplay reasons we can't have that).

Still this is a relatively minor thing and the majority of the things shown in game are represented as they should be for the 40k universe, so you're way ahead of the curve compared to tons of other studios who got the license

[Ipecac]

I concur. Everyone in my group hates it and thinks it sounds dumb.

[Elvi]

Well, I agree that Imperial plasma weapon shots generally sound or should more like a power station having a shortcircuit and exploding rather than generic sci-fi "pew" but I don't think it's that bad, there still are bigger fish to fry, even tho the game really got so much better from what it was on release :P

[Grim@FU_BARRACUDA]

its funny that everyone thinks to know how a plasma weapon should sound when there are actually no such weapons exist no offense its just funny

EDIT: oh i was wrong they exist see here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KspMnDUU8w

peace
