I'm still hoping they add better sound for landings. When a huge space ship lands on a planet I'd expect there to be large clunks and creaks as the hull bears the weight. Especially a ship that weighs as much as a real life container ship. Currently all ships feel a bit weightless in regards to gravity.
Which ship in SC are you referring to? An average container ship weighs 165000 tons. The heaviest ship currently in SC is the 890j at 44000 tons, at nearly a quarter of that.
Just shown towards the end(8.22) was a hovering/landing Corsair and all you could hear was the landing gear moving, can't even see any thrust at all. Take-offs especially for me lack any excitement, almost zero rocket flair and minimal audio; make ships never look like they're actually flying, just floating cameras. Hopefully this will improve things going forward.
Love the idea that everything within the ship is going to creak and groan with every little impact, thruster movement, and even quantum spool. Sound is the binding glue that marries different gameplay elements together such as combat, where knowing where fire is coming from or how damaged elements of the ship are just from sound alone. More over I'm loving these reworked ship ambiences that draws attention to individual stations and component housing. Time to start working on my 10 hour sleep aid videos of Hammerhead engineering bay ambiences.
I want ambient sounds outside the ship while it is landed, like hissing of exhaust vents or the look and sound of liquid nitrogen coarsing through external tubes while the engines ramp down or up depending on the state of the ship, would just add that sense it is a living and breathing machine even when not flying and just sitting on the launch pad preparing for takeoff or just after setting down.
All the sounds from inside your ship sounds amazing and I really look forwards to hearing them! I just wish we also had external sounds get projected and attenuated realistically as well, all the way from full atmospheric pressure when flying low over a habitable planet up to the hard vacuum of outer space.
i think about that they said the would not do it cuz would be a lot of work and calculation from server to simulate which they can't afford implementing
I hope that sound physics are added in the future so that there are proper sound delays according to the speed of sound. Ever since such a casual game like COD seemed to even implement it, it now sounds weird to me when I hear an explosion a kilometer away instantly. I understand how it may be confusing to some people at first but I think they’ll understand what is happening pretty fast and learn to appreciate it. I mean, that is how it is in real life after all.
THE TAIL GUNNER | A Star Citizen experience video on YT thats the sounds we really want, to feel the vacuum of space + sound has travel times which we dont have in sc
Travel times for sounds might not be a good idea in a game with varying atmosphere and so on. Feeling the vacuum of space yes I agree. Needs more of that muffled feeling for external sounds. CIG rneed to try going in this direction imo, otherwise it's a big missed opportunity. Very important part of space fantasy.
Sometimes I wonder if these details aren't too much and too excessive and distracting from the ultimate goal of launching the game. Then again, you hear the audio landscape these artists are creating, and what they're trying to bring to the game, and then I think... bring it. This is incredible. :) Thanks for another great ISC!
audio teams aren't making ships, they aren't making gameplay mechanics, they aren't creating missions, etc. etc. They aren't impeding progress at all, they're doing what they're supposed to do. Your logic is like saying a painter should be able to help a sculptor make a statue...they may both be artists but the skillsets do NOT transfer. Same for programmers and graphical design, you can't have a ship designer try to work in server architecture, and vice versa...they'd have no idea what they would be doing.
@@mjlee8013 not everyone is like that lmao...besides, while some disciplines may be easier to transition to, server architecture is NOT something that other programmers can get into easily, and may even be impossible for many. The main thing holding back a lot of features for SC is server architecture, so again...all of the other devs can't really make things faster because they simply aren't capable of working in that field without the schooling and experience
These videos are really only useful if you watch them as a retrospective 4-6 years later when this stuff is actually in the game. Watching them now is just depressing. What have we learned this week? Nothing that will matter for years.
What credentials of theirs have you seen to support claiming they're a good team? The sounds I've heard so far in the latest round of videos are very lackluster, and that's being generous.
@@uddek I follow the project since 2012 and i have not heard any other space game with better overall sounds, especially the thrusters and the variety of them, better ship fly by sounds, better explosion sounds of capital ships, bigger ambience variety, more complex simulation of VOIP ingame effects. And now, with those two episodes they show, that the audio simulation will be even more complex. Tell me another game with that scope/map size, not a small game like Escape from Tarkov, with that complex audio simulation. This is only possible with decent people and a good team. And i watched all developer vlogs like Around the Verse and ISC and the vlogs of Citizencon. So i have a good overview of their teamwork.
Thrusters: the sound of the MSR as of now... Nothing beats the power trip that is pointing towards the sky. Slamming her into gear and boosting as the roar of the thrusters deafens out all other senses. Best space ship engine in any game.
I get lost in the ambient sounds of the Mole, Prospector, and Vulture. I can't imagine playing SC without the sounds. So engrossing. Love the sounds of the ships with the Cutty Black and Connie Taurus being my favourites! Well done gents!
Thomas Flight has videos talking about the value of musical theme, too, and SFX, in the new Dune movie(s). Generally the movie is excellent in audio design. I recommend watching his videos on the topic. (I also highly recommend watching the movie. Ideally first.)
My hope is that the sound dept. brings back the rain or the sound of shrapnel hitting our ship when we destroy the enemy ship in front of us. Like in BSG ... Adama: Starbuck, what do you hear? Starbuck: Nothing but the rain. Adama: Then grab your gun and bring in the cat.
I really hope this also includes exterrior sounds for ships, its been a pet peave of mine for a long time that the ships make next to no sound when flying around on planets, in the past they used to sound super loud and amazing but since new patches came out they have become less and less pronounced to the point where some ships are just silent and you don't notice they're even there until you see them which is a real shame. Either way this looks and sounds amazing, keep up the great work ;)
It's the sound that the background or a hallway makes that causes it to feel more alive. The whistling of escaping gas, or the sound of the spraying fog from somewhere are all things that will affect the feel the sound causes and that adds to the alive feeling. A ship in space might creak as it moves, there might be dampened sound of guns and engines too, the crackling of a fire and a rumbling of the engines might all be heard and there is even more ambient sounds that will add to the alive feeling you might get.
I made a lengthy post about this topic half a year ago on the RSI forums, how we need to know the impact and severity of shield hits to judge the situation. Awesome that they are finally doing it.
I'd still love it, if they would display sound in space realistic. You don't hear nothing, but you hear different things. And you get a sense of atmosphere when the sound gets suddenly louder
Sound is such a huge important tool and immersion factor in games. I hope they can get things like impacts and landings to sound like they have some weight behind them!
Oh my, this is very cool. These examples given here are amazing and would be a massive upgrade over current sound in the game. The detail, the atmosphere etc here would make the experience far more impactful and immersive. Yes please!
Dear Audio team, please read my message. Please! As a former DoP, I know very well that audio is at least half of the experience, if not more. That's why I love the work you've presented in this episode! 👍 But I unfortunately also suffer from vestibular migraines, which is why I have the following problem: Especially high frequency buzzing like here in the video at 1:55 or even more extreme at 2:24 and 2:33 cause me (and other migraine sufferers) very fast severe headaches up to dizziness attacks. Therefore, I ask you to either turn these sounds as quiet as possible or to include an option to adjust the volume or deactivate them. Otherwise it will be impossible for me and others to play the game that we have been supporting for so many years. By the way, I have the same problem in the server rooms of the bunkers. Having worked in data centers for several years, I also know that server rooms don't really sound like that. You don't really hear any electrical buzzing or beeping, but mainly the hissing of the ventilation 😉 I know that electrical devices and especially computers in movies are always accompanied by such or similar sounds (e.g. the typical sound when text appears on screens, although everyone knows that text / code is actually displayed silently in reality), but that doesn't mean that you have to do it that way in games, does it? 🙂 Thank you again for your great work, but please also think a little about your fellow sick people. Thank you! PS.: By the way, this is a similar problem as the bright light flashes when new ship markers appear in the HUD, which can cause big problems for migraine or eppelepsy patients.
It sounds nice so far, I like that the components and their state will create systemic sound. Hopefully part of the rework is to rely less on "ship board sound simulator" for combat in space, which kind of makes your ship feel thin and hollow. I hope they lean more into making atmospheric and space combat have entirely different sound profiles in that regard.
It does make sense to hear my ship as the air within my ship vibrates but I often wonder if the game would sound more epic if things like explosions in space should be a dull whooomph on the hill of my ship rather than a generalised explosive noise. If I were to observe a battle, I’d love a massive graphical display of explosions while I only hear my ship and crew and comms.
Again, things I did not know but appreciate and now understand! Star Citizen is a part of my life every day. It’s development makes me feel like child exploring life for the first time. I am a retiree now, with lots of leisure time and interest in everything you do every day.
I love most of the audio in this game but the pew pew sound of the laser weapons is extremely underwhelming. I can't be the only one who feels this way.
The sound design for this game is impeccable. I wish we could get a deeper technical look into the actual design process for certain components. Like how much of it is foley recording, how much is synthesized, how much of it is from analog (synths/modular). It’s super inspiring to see this as a sound designer.
Thank you, guys, in the sound development for your work. Please allow me a question about ship ambient sounds. How do u people decide how loud the ambient sound will be? I have many examples of ships so loud that it is really irritating after a while. Take, for example, the habitation area in the Carrack. It's louder than in its engine room. Even though the crew should be able to rest there. That's only one example. The ambient sound is important, but its volume should be much lower than now! Remember that people spend much time on those ships. Such levels are ok for the engine rooms but not for the rest of the ships. Another thing I would like to mention here is the constant explosion-like sound coming from the engines of ships. Each and every single time a ship starts accelerating, every time the pilot stops accelerating, by releasing the throttle, we hear the engines do this explosion- like sound. That doesn't make any sense. Engines don't do that. It is totally irritating because we have to hear it hundreds of times in every session. Please take these matters into consideration.
I often say, you sometimes don't realise how much of how you feel about a game or movie is down to the music and sound design. It's so important, and I'd agree that it's a huge portion of the experience, especially the emotional and feel of an experience. I have always been happy with the way ships like the cutlass feel, how you can really hear an ensemble of systems reacting to how it's being flown. I'm glad to hear they're continuing to focus on that approach as it really adds a whole layer of believability to the experience.
Cant wait to have this in the game, sound is one of the most important things. Great work from the Sound guys! Also awesome cinematics from the guys that look after that!
I wish we could turn off the audio simulation at a certain point. So we can actually hear what our char hears. EDIT: ok, at 6:20 there is kind of what i'm thinking of
WOW! now this is a real step forward for audio, finally going to match the visuals of the game. I hope one day, similar to HybridVAudio's video of switching off the sound emulation while you're in a turret or as a pilot to really just hear the thumps and bumps of the impacts, and hopefully more in-depth internal computer announcements and sirens when it's more finalised.
I played not long ago at Fort Solis and P·O·L·L·E·N, and it's true that sound makes a difference. They were bases instead of spaceships, but it's all the same.
Listen, if ISC wants to do an entire episode that is just ship sounds, I would not be against this. Sound design is a huge part of the experience, thanks for showing a small piece of this.
So glad to hear the audio team is adding so much recently. Audio in SC is definitely an area for improvement and from what I've seen it's about to be one of the best audio experiences in gaming.
The game taking so long that Sound and Visual systems need constant rework... I really wan SC to come out but have a feeling that we will be seeing another inside star citizen episode about sound rework again in 2025 because they came up with newer and fancier version and need to reach Gold Standard.
can we get a really deep and woofy boom when a huge ship like the 890j or so is landing inside a hangar or on rocky ground if its not subtle? maybe also cause localized small earthquake?
Sound Design Team, We would LOVE 100% the ability to turn on and off "simulated sound" so if we turn it off, we wont hear things unless we have a direct impact such as lasers hitting the hull and shields, ballistics hittingthe shiled and hull the sound of guns going off and thrusters going off in a muffled form since sound doesn't travel in space. This will bring hard hitting audio immersion bringing the community to a newer level of creativity of playing AND short movies.
Bunch of good stuff in this video; the turrets, hull impact, and collision/explosion effects seem particularly relevant to gameplay (though it all could be).
I'm still hoping they add better sound for landings. When a huge space ship lands on a planet I'd expect there to be large clunks and creaks as the hull bears the weight. Especially a ship that weighs as much as a real life container ship. Currently all ships feel a bit weightless in regards to gravity.

@@BadTactics101 just imagine a container ship flying from the sky and landing on dirt. that’s what it should sound like

Take-offs especially for me lack any excitement, almost zero rocket flair and minimal audio; make ships never look like they're actually flying, just floating cameras.

A proper hover mode needs to come back. Without it ships are weightless floating things
@@BadTactics101 let me guess...your SC handle is "JerryL", am I getting that right?

It’s all crafted, pal. Game ready in 2033.
Yep, how many times have we seen stuff that’s ‘pretty much ready to go’ yet still isn’t in the game? TOO MANY TIMES for me to trust a word they say.

A video about sound and it sounded like the gain was blown out on the guys talking. :P
That said, sound in Star Citizen is a pretty amazing thing.
work in progress since 2013.
Hybrid V's audio is *chef kiss*. CIG needs to implement that level of audio
I love the detail I am hearing here. Wonderful!
Audio AGAIN.......!!!!???? STARMAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish that the QD sound would ramp up and end with a thud when you jump
Sound sells the game, very impressed with the new sounds, and I cannot wait to hear them on capital ships!
These guys do an AMAZING JOB! I was in a High threat service beacon and I blew up a big ship and it was just an amazing sound
2 episodes about sound design and 1 about vfx in a month? You better believe Citizencon is around the corner folks!
Unfortunately, insides have become sh….t a long time ago, looks like million dollars aren’t enough for CIG give us info or stuff
i love when the missile lock sound bugs and there is nothing more than this! xD
Sounds make everything ❤
I love listening to the sound of my Cutlass Black as I accelerate or slow down. The sounds with those engines are top notch IMHO.
Can't wait to "Hear" the Reclaimer :)
Star Citizen continues and still continues to impress😊💯💛👍
I ***LOVE*** the idea that ships will sound slightly different based on what components they're running.
That star wars homage HOLY SHIP PLZ UPLOAD THAT AS A FULL THING
Cant wait to have this in the game, sound is one of the most important things. Great work from the Sound guys! Also awesome cinematics from the guys that look after that!
I wish we could turn off the audio simulation at a certain point. So we can actually hear what our char hears. EDIT: ok, at 6:20 there is kind of what i'm thinking of
the char hears the simulation... but it would be nice if that could be dmged and go off
Planned.
Also, when will our ships have alarms? The red lights are nice, but having alarm sounds going off I felt have always been missing. Or am I mad?
6:20 its really similar to the video " The Tail Gunner" video, and its a really good step in a really ears pleasing direction !
WOW! now this is a real step forward for audio, finally going to match the visuals of the game.
I hope one day, similar to HybridVAudio's video of switching off the sound emulation while you're in a turret or as a pilot to really just hear the thumps and bumps of the impacts, and hopefully more in-depth internal computer announcements and sirens when it's more finalised.
I played not long ago at Fort Solis and P·O·L·L·E·N, and it's true that sound makes a difference. They were bases instead of spaceships, but it's all the same.
NEVER, IN THE FEILD OF GAMING DEVELOPMENT WAS SO MUCH OWED TO SO MANY, BY SO FEW.
I love that they all have the streamer dent. One of us!
Listen, if ISC wants to do an entire episode that is just ship sounds, I would not be against this. Sound design is a huge part of the experience, thanks for showing a small piece of this.
If this the type of content being put out before CitizenCon it makes me excited for CirizenCon!
We're building a tool that will save us time and make development go faster. A change in script once every couple of years lads c'mon
I truly love how Drake ships sound, the Corsair and the Cutter especially!
So glad to hear the audio team is adding so much recently. Audio in SC is definitely an area for improvement and from what I've seen it's about to be one of the best audio experiences in gaming.
This getting boring now for us OG Backers, how many time's can CIG flog a dead horse ? Answer = More than10 years
The game taking so long that Sound and Visual systems need constant rework... I really wan SC to come out but have a feeling that we will be seeing another inside star citizen episode about sound rework again in 2025 because they came up with newer and fancier version and need to reach Gold Standard.
can't wait for this ! sound is sooooo important for immersion :)
very happy to HEAR that, its super important
LOVE the progress! Keep it up guys, I am excited to see where you take this! Your doing Mighty fine work!
Wheres speed of sound simulation though?
That's awesome, we really need new weapon sounds in this quality.
The video starts with "we did" then goes to "we will" then ends with "we would like", with the "we hope" punch line at the end. Translation: soon (tm)
You sound like you should apply to be a Spectrum mod, you'd fit right in over there.
@@retrospectology I would,, I did bake the game, my son will play it tho, I hope.
can we get a really deep and woofy boom when a huge ship like the 890j or so is landing inside a hangar or on rocky ground if its not subtle? maybe also cause localized small earthquake?
Sound Design Team, We would LOVE 100% the ability to turn on and off "simulated sound" so if we turn it off, we wont hear things unless we have a direct impact such as lasers hitting the hull and shields, ballistics hittingthe shiled and hull the sound of guns going off and thrusters going off in a muffled form since sound doesn't travel in space. This will bring hard hitting audio immersion bringing the community to a newer level of creativity of playing AND short movies.
My dreams came true after watching citcon this year! WOOO, Thank you sound team!
Wait is that a bmm at 2:37?
Audio is the most important part of any game.
Bunch of good stuff in this video; the turrets, hull impact, and collision/explosion effects seem particularly relevant to gameplay (though it all could be).
