In Response To: Re: H:CEA Preorder bonus revealed! (General Vagueness)


: I didn't see a date stamp anywhere on there, someone could've started up the
: game and recorded that segment 10 minutes before they put it on YouTube
: for all we know, and anyway none of that means I shouldn't voice my
: concerns-- if anything I should voice them the earliest I can since they'd
: be more likely to be fixable.

Your concerns were literally, "I don't like the new sounds" and "they sound... well OK not terrible, but definitely sub-par". Your only other suggestion was to leave the original sounds in place. How has anything that you complained about so far fallen under the umbrella of "fixable things". According to your gripes with the minute glimpse of the game that we've seen so far, your "fix" is: bring the old sounds back.

: No, that's why I said "tweaked" instead of "totally
: different", a remake/redo/revision should have pretty similar
: gameplay, but I'd be OK with some tweaks and less options or even quality
: for graphics and the good sound that was there before.

"Tweaked" means "not the original". If it's not the original, it's totally different in my mind. I don't know what you mean by less options.

: No, it's an implication talk like this doesn't mesh with them being one.

If I could decipher your horrendous grammar here I would have a response for you. But it seems like you're calling 343i out and saying they're not a game studio. Again, you're judging them before even having any evidence whatsoever to the contrary.

: Some other people seem to be operating under that kind of impression, but I'm
: just saying I don't understand why they're acting like the original sound
: isn't an option, and I have no clue why they're not sticking with it if
: they think it's better (hence the asterisk, I was referring to Frankie's
: quote) and they know a lot of the fans agree it's better (and a lot of the
: non-fans, for that matter).

Because recreating new sounds that could seamlessly transition to the original sounds would require a tremendous amount of effort. Much more effort than they had originally planned to put into this project I can imagine. This is to whet the fans' appetites until they can deliver a new game proper and not meant to be the end-all be-all. They're doing it for the fans, and if you don't appreciate what they're doing and want the original then go buy the emulated version for $12 and stew in your own juices.

: I was unaware of any sound fidelity issues with the original Xbox version--
: if they want to re-orchestrate orchestral songs, I guess that's OK, even
: if I'd prefer they didn't, if they want to improve some of the foley work,
: I don't really mind, but I was under the impression the sound effects for
: things like reloading a weapon or throwing a grenade were just as
: intended, and I liked them the way they were-- I like the newer versions
: to (to varying degrees), but those were in different games, and this is
: supposed to be effectively the same.

You do realize that this was one sentence, right? It's hard to discuss something with you when you type out a stream of consciousness that is partially contradictory with previous statements and entirely nonsensical due to lack of grammar or proper punctuation.
