Freeman's Mind gun sounds

[imperial1scout]

The guns sounds I like, (and the Tank sounds are awesome, they have to stay, I agree) but the poison headcrab sound effect I didn't like, the sounds are supposed to be unique to the poison headcrabs, that's part of why I would freak out when I'd hear it while I was playing

[RandomRebel]

I voted no for the sake of continuity, but I don't really mind too much, I'm fine with whatever option. And even though I didn't vote for this option...

 

I still need you to look at these pictures of my cats right now.

Every so often for an added "punch"? Maybe. Total replacement. Hell no.

[Crawfish]

I like the new sounds. It's like you're actually hearing what Freeman is, instead of the audio for a game.

But that makes me wonder, how would this series sound if the voice acting was edited to sound like Half-Life dialogue?

[IonicPaul]

Can't see the poll, but it's rather jarring for the sounds to change so late, but that I could live with. The real thing is that none of the other sounds are re-dubbed, which makes it jarring, and the sounds sometimes were out of sync.

 

The thing I really didn't like was the poison headcrab sound.

[Lord Sinister]

Personally I don't mind either way.

[Trip Fisk]

[VeryShyPerson]

I didn't mind the gun sounds, except they sounded a little too loud as compared to other things.

 

Though, tbh, using the poison headcrab sounds on the regular 'crabs did bother me to some extent.

Maybe I'm not very observant but if I hadn't read about it on here, I wouldn't have known anything was different.

Objective comments:

So far, about a third of voters (and pretty much half of those who care) dislike them enough to vote No. Surely leaving it the same is not really going to upset "Yes" voters very much — whereas adding something unwanted is going to keep irritating the significant proportion of "No" voters for the rest of the series.

 

Full disclosure: I'm a "No" voter but I think the vote should be weighted in favour of "no change", like a great many civil and political projects are in the real world.

 

Alternatively, disregard the vote and just release both. It can't be that difficult to keep the dubbing in a separate track and output two versions, can it?

 

Subjective comments:

My personal opinion is that they're "just not very Half-Life". Add that to the poor execution and woefully anachronistic Poison Headcrab sound, and it's very jarring and uncomfortable for me.

[Hooch]

Sounds are ok. But please fix the volume of it. I had my finger on volume control all the time.

And. Here is my dog (Real one).

tbh I didn't really notice

but then I'm not as familiar with the game lol

either works for me. I guess whatever works best for y'all

[Alyxx Thorne]

I definitely preferred the new gun sounds. Much more satisfying to hear than the old ones. And they lend an aura of originality and uniqueness to the show.

It's all the same to me. Also, some very large pictures in this page.

Added spoiler tags. Should fix the problem.

Basically this. I'm not opposed to the new gun sounds, but they are a little distracting now. The poison headcrab sound was pretty unnecessary and the tank shots were cool.

 

But imo, this is really a case of 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it.'

[danielsangeo]

I voted for the cat/dog option. I like them both and don't really care one way or another.

 

So, um, here's my cat, doing what he does best.

 

 

[Counter-Strike]

To be honest, I didn't even notice.

 

Same here, that's why I voted for the third option. Seems like a pretty divisive issue though lol

 

anyway here's that the pic of my pet u need to see immediately

 

[GordonFreeman]

It's funny: The score right now is a dead tie between yes and no. 760/760

[sullygass95]

Wow, Mr. Scott is right this IS a divided issue! In fact, it seems to be dead even 792/791. If this trend continues it will be difficult for Him to make a decision. So to answer your question on how divided this issue is Mr. Scott, VERY. I'll admit I have no idea how a real MP5 sounds, but I kinda liked the old sounds better, and more importantly the new sounds will make going back and forth between watching old episodes and new ones a little distracting, so to preserve continuity I hope He goes back to the original sounds. I didn't even complain about them after the episode, I figured if Mr. Scott didn't like the sounds he wouldn't have added them, so trying to change things seemed pointless, but it's cool to know He cares what we think.
