Title: Aliens sounds feedback
Post by: rasz_pl on July 25, 2006, 12:15:36 pm

First off congrats on the sounds, some of them just blow your mind.
Now my feeling about each of them from best to worst:

Marauder
-Cry ... its ..its.. the words escape me. Few times I just let Mara go after I heard that cry, SO SAD !!!! (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/1e/Cry-tpvgames.gif) :cry:
-Roar. Its ok. Something like a dog barking "I'm gona bite ur ass"

Tyrrant
-Cry, or dying sound I guess. Great, reminds me of a dying horse sound (dont ask)
-Roag. mm "I'm BIG, ANGRY and WILL KILL YA ALL F...ERS"

Dretch
-Taunt? Cricket sound, silly but good, "I'm here u stupid human"

Goon
-Cry. Beautifull, I LOVE that sound,its second nicest sound in the game just after "granger into the hovel" one :]. I hunt goons with a shootie just to hear that sound :]
-Taunt?Roar? ??? Goon is a mix of a Tarantula Spider with a BULL and yet all I hear is "Mooo Moooo says the cow!" and "I GOT MIIILK!!!"

Granger
-Taunt? almost a purring cat :) nice and cheerful
-Cry hmm I dont remember :)

Basilisk ... SUXOR SUXOR SUXOR SUXOR SUXOR SUXOR  ...
-Taunt? ???!?!!!??? more like a FART :/ and WHY the lag?
Situation. I'm hanging on a ceiling over a door, hummies behind a door. I see a dretch comming. I press F to tell him "Look at me u stoopid dretch its an ambush", I see dretch opening the door, I see a dretch getting shot, I see a dretch dying, I hear a FART .....
-Cry? What cry? All I hear is a FART ....

Seriously Basi needs a better samples + no lag.

Thats all.

Yeah, I like the mara sounds as they are..

Yeah, I know what you mean, my horses always sound like that when I gun them down with a luci :wink:

Dretch

It comes across as an "insecty" sound, but that's appropriate for something the size of a dretch I guess.

-Cry. Beautifull, I LOVE that sound,its second nicest sound in the game just after "granger into the hovel" one :]. I hunt goons with a shootie just to hear that sound :]

So that's why you kept taking so long to finish me off :wink:

It reminds me of the sound imps make when they die in classic doom....

Granger
-Taunt? almost a purring cat :) nice and cheerful

Yeah, just makes you want to pick it up and pet it and hug it and burp it and cuddle it..... and perhaps blow it's brains out before it builds another egg, once you've finished petting it.

-Cry hmm I dont remember :)

It burps when you shoot it :wink:

Yeah, I think the hissing sound it makes when it's HP is low would be a good taunt.

The sounds are not all very "alien" , but they fit the evolution scheme if you consider each one as a cross breed : spider-mouse for dretch , spider-cat for granger , spider-iguana for basilisk , spider-hyena for marauder , spider-camel for dragoon , and spider-bear for Tyrant...

Another thing to notice is the taunt animation. The marauder one cracks me up , though it is a bit out of place - looks more like "boo !"

There is something about the marauder taunt that I just love. It has a real menace to it, like a cat hissing at something it doesnt like. Its by far my favourite sound in the game

Oh the basilisk. Such a hard class to play that even taunting is hard to do right with a basi. Whatever reason you hit taunt, by the time the noise comes out, the moment has long passed.

But yea, the rest of the sounds are all really great.

If you're reading this dolby, a couple of additional sounds that would be really usefull in game:

* Dretch hit to the head as a seperate sound to regular dretch hit. Some crunchy bone noise maybe.
* Adv. marauder zap misfire. If you zap as you're jumping over a target, often it's impossible to tell if your zap connected or not. I think the current zap sound suits a misfire better than a zap hit tho, maybe you could do a better sound for when it does go off?

Nice idea Chompers.
For that connected ZAP sound, you'd need something which you'll automaticly recognize as a fleshburning electricity attack.
(Watch some snuff movies for inspiration or something)

You really find the basilisk hard to play with? i love it! i love to stalk up on unwary humans, trap them in place and rip 'em to pieces. also, it's the only above-basic alien unit with the ability to wallcrawl. only thing, tho is that it sucks against those heavy armor thingys.

Then some people say that Alien are overpowered, and that they always Win. I'd rather say human are OverRetarded.

The Basilisk taunt shows a great disrespect for the one its taunting. This fart-ish sound is all like: I poo on you! Its my favo taunt, together with the Marauder taunt, is just pure agression.

heh marauder taunt is the best it perfectly goes with the animation
