Howdy folks,

Do not know if this has been suggested or not. But I think iht sounds would be a huge plus when playing SG. There is nothing more comforting then hearing a little "ting" when shooting at someone.

I don't really see how hitsounds can improve this game. Shooting is so slow you have time to read the console message when you hit someone

But i guess i would use them if they were implemented.

[RailedRobin]

I always check the top left corner to see if (who) i hit when shooting. But this isn't always the best since it means not paying enough attention to my surroundings.
At the same time, I don't know if hit sounds would be the best way to let people know they've hit someone (although this may depend on the sound itself). Would we risk losing a little of the games feeling if we'd hear a small *ping* everytime our shots strikes true?

Usually I just shoot like a madman and hope I hit something (it is the wild west after all) but somekind of indicator other than the console would be nice.

[FisherofMen]

Hmm....maybe someone more capable than me could come up with a western sounding hitsound.

[mLy!]

It doesn't need to sound western, it needs to stand out of the other game sounds.
A short ping will be good, and ting in case of headshot (or maybe leg shot since in this game its smarter to aim at legs.....)

[FisherofMen]

Wait a sec..is that true? Aim for legs instead of head?

You could have a clank-sound, if anyone understand how I mean... Like a piece of metal thrown into an empty coffepan. Although it shouldn't be too loud (more like a whisper perhaps?) or it'd be distracting.
Think there's a sound just like this in Dead Man's Hand, but I haven't got access to that at the moment.

Isn't there a sound like this when you hit the boilerplate?

[FisherofMen]

Thanks for the link Mly. So cover up those legs I am gunnin for them!!

IMO, the ambiance is a part of the game, adding such sound doesn't pleased me... I will not feel like playin' a western game, but a sort of retro-Q3...
And players actually emit sound when they are injuried.

Yes, that should be enough of a clue. Adding a hit sound is just one more thing for the computer to process, and one more thing to go wrong.

yup and what Joe Kari said i don't really like the idea of a sort of unrealistic hit sound

[Black Jack Ketchum]

Mabe you could make it so that one could turn a hitsounde on and off (i would prefer it off)

By the way what happend to that really cool "Arrow hitting wood pole" Chatsound??

[Clink Eastward]

The easier option is too read the messages top left?
