Doom Eternal: Beefier Plasma Rifle SFX Update

Подробнее о видео

A quick little video showcasing the Plasma Rifle weapon mods, which I previously did not feel the need to change since I thought they sounded fine. However, since the Plasma Rifle falls under the same category as its siblings (the Combat Shotgun and Heavy Cannon), wherein its usefulness comes largely from its weapon mods, I decided to change them around just a bit.

Heat Blast utilizes a beefed up vanilla sound as well as a primary fire sound. Later on I decided to use sounds from the Quake 4 Railgun, Blaster, Lightning Gun in lieu of my changes to the Microwave Beam to make it a little more streamlined. A version without these additions is available in case. The Power Surge mastery firing sound is a beefed up Doom 3 Plasma Gun sound. A goal I had early on was to better unify the Heat Blast mod with Shield Soldier enemies, who also utilize plasma shotguns. A replacement pack for the possessed soldiers will be coming soon.

(Note: The Updated (not alternate) version of Heat Blast is considerably more powerful sounding than was portrayed in this video. I wanted to get it out soon so I could have time to upload the mod to Nexus, after which I tested it in combat and found it to be a bit too shrill and not standout enough. Next time I will be more careful and test before I post.)

The Microwave Beam utilizes sounds from each rendition of the Quake Lightning Gun (minus the 2016 one, though I tried to emulate it a little) as well as the Quake 4 Railgun, Dark Matter Cannon, and Hyperblaster. My overall goal with it was to not change it too much but still make it sound more powerful. In particular, I aimed many of its more nuanced changes at quickly stunning enemies in combos, so a lot of work went into the winddown noises after using the beam.

Since I believed people would still prefer to use the vanilla sounds for each weapon mod, each version is independent and fully compatible with each other (minus the alternate Heat Blast versions).
