Resident Evil was a pretty good video game movie. Well… compared to most, at least.

D_Smart posted:It's OK to disagree. But you're wrong. Just because a bunch of people think on-board audio is poo poo, doesn't mean on-board audio is poo poo. What's important is the number of people buying audio add-in cards I'm a musician, been keeping up with all audio advancements, you're wrong. Onboard is poo poo and sounds like garbage compared to even a cheapish dedicated card. The onboard in my pretty decent rig sounds like utter trash compared to my £50 card. That's why decent Headsets (eg, the hyperx cloud 2s) now frequently come with an additional USB soundcard dongle, because you literally can't benefit from a good headset without a decent dedicated amp to drive it.

Going through some of  's videos, I have questions/thoughts. Apologies if these have come up before, but...How exactly do you get vortices coming off of the landing rocket's exhaust? They're in vacuum, no? How hard is it to get something like F=ma to exist in a game? I'd hope it's not horribly tricky, but that seems to be well, well, out there for these guys. You know what this place really needs? Chris Foss style spaceship colours. Possibly a general comment on most space games, but still. Give me some garish colours and hazard stripes. Maybe make your fuel-lines one colour, air another, that sort of thing. A nice bit of maximum saturation can do wonders for ships. Is there a button to retract your immersion ladders, or do they just all deploy like the landing gear? If there is a button, what happens if you press it while someone's immersing up the ladder? There's clearly cheap and easily available artificial gravity because we're jumping randomly over the scale of Sci-Fi Hardness, so why the heck are there the (theoretically) rotating janky rings on the station? Is is where they store the poor who have only stumped up £30 or whatever? Do they just get their ships dumped into space via the rotating disc while they live in the shipping containers the rings are probably inexplicably full of? Come to think of it, that's not a half-bad idea. If you don't have the artificial gravity, why not just store incoming ships in slots on the outside of the station and fling them into space for free? I mean, you could even fuel them up from inside without needing some guy to stand under the engines... You'll probably still have the fuel pump guy because that's how Immersion works in this weird future, but at least he's indoors. Of course, I literally know nothing about game development.

1500 posted:Why do people keep inflating ED's numbers? Its two years. I include it mainly because it's the “we're thinking and looking for publishers” period before the Kickstarter, same as the year that Citizens refuse to count. Yes, it more than doubles the ED “development” time, but on the other hand, if at any time the zealots refuse to count the date Chris himself said the SC development started, then they must also accept that ED went from funding to release in less time than it took for SC to even get their second alpha out. It's the same with Fallout 3, really: they started “working on it” (as in, decided they were going to make Fallout 3) in 2004, but the actual production didn't start until well after Oblivion was out in 2006.

What the heck should I be looking at for a sound card? gently caress sound cards, buy a decent DAC and use optical out from your onboard to hook it up. Cheap dedicated external DAC is still better than a mid-end sound card (if there are any still out there) in most cases.

sound design doesn't matter in this thread, they're literally jangling and shaking things that they can find from around the office in a corner of a room and calling them weapon sound effects. i hear for the gatling gun they're just going to shake all of ben's redbull can tabs in a box. sad thing is if they donated those tabs they could make a wheelchair for someone.

Ask your physicist/not dumb friends to explain that one from a realism standpoint. They haven't figured out a technology/aesthetic standard. It's all over the loving place and based on Wing Commander science where everyone goes quiet on spaceships (even the bulldozer driver) while the enemy tries to find you with depth charges.

People spend way too much money on audio equipment, hell dvd audio was a scam as you can't get better audio from it then you can a CD. Its basic DSP, and it does not lie.

On the contrary, there's quite a bit to gain. Clean power rail and a good preamp, for starters. It's not about the DAC IC as much as the actual implementation and other components in the chain. That said, even DACs themselves (as in ICs) can sound wildly differently.
