[QUOTE=DarkangelUK;282938]Normally i’d be hackles up to this type of remark, but I think this is a “it’s different! Make it go away!” knee-jerk reaction. In the latest Chris Sweetman interview, he mentions they’ve created their own “HDR audio” that sounds very intriguing.

Nice interview. I can’t belief he would do all these nice, well thought out things and then create this horrible deafness effect thingy (hope some SD dev can come in and tell me the real name for it) that annoys the crap out of me -every- -single- -time- that I will get hit :frowning:

Fading sound is just another example of where improving gameplay takes precedence over having an aesthetically pleasing game. It serves the purpose of letting the player know when he’s getting hit and somewhere along the line they decided it was a necessary compromise to lose some of that beautiful sounding gunplay. This has happened with tons of stuff in Brink like glowing weapons/players. It certainly does make the game more accessible but that means some long-time shooter players will be put off by it. I can see where they are coming from with lots of this stuff but the sound thing really is over the top.

To me it shows how some implementations can improve the game on all ends, immersion, game-play and aesthetics.

lack of PC footage disturbs me :frowning: only 2 weeks til release…

It is far easier to set up 16 consoles than it is to set up 16 PCs, unless you buy 16 identical gaming PCs from somewhere, in which case you are paying several grand per computer, compared to 200 per console.

(beute) #287

they dont need 16 PCs to fraps the game and put the video online…

(DarkangelUK) #288

They did at QCon, and Eurogamer… and others more than likely. But I’m guessing the lack of PC footage above yours was a general statement, and nothing to do with i42 or the likes.

Also SD have a capture station set up on-site.

Yes. How do we know they didn’t neglect PC to focus on console versions, like every other developer does these days…

(Linsolv) #290

We don’t. If you want you can talk to Kinjal about it and be best friends. Otherwise, wait and see.

(mestido) #291

Is there any PC videos out there?

(Linsolv) #292

Sorta. Not really.

(LyndonL) #293

Nothing since alpha.

(Cankor) #294

When it gets here it will be glorious and accompanied by some brilliant news everyone will cream their jeans over :slight_smile:

(Herandar) #295

Damn, now I’m going to have to find a pair of jeans.

(Nail) #296

ya mean I gotta buy jeans ? you know how ugly old man jeans are ?

fuggettaboutit, I’m wearing slacks

(Herandar) #297

Cargo shorts. If I cream them, I’ll dry off in some mesh shorts.

(Nail) #298

Cargo shorts ?

a bit optomistic aren’t we lad ?

(Herandar) #299

They are what I typically wear, so, no, I don’t think so.

From what I heard, MOST videos are from the PC version, but they’re set up with console controllers, so it has the button prompts for the controller, instead of standard PC setup.
