After thinking about my phrasing, I mistyped. Sort of hard to describe, though. It doesn't have the rock sound I'm used to, no guitars, no lyrics, and no drums. It's, I guess, different.
As far as the echo, I like how Jim Kitchen's racing game indicates a turn. Maybe you could do it that way, but eliminate the noise heard before the turn. Maybe you could even eliminate the radio announcement that a turn is coming up on higher skill levels if there are going to be difficulty levels. If racers are competing against each other, whether it be online or just by points, maybe scoring could only be on the top skill level where no turn indicator other than the wall echo is used?, and lower levels are basically for practice or just for fun racing against computerized opponents. -- If guns cause crime, then pencils cause misspelled words. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Thomas Ward" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Gamers Discussion list" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 03, 2007 9:17 PM Subject: Re: [Audyssey] USA Raceway trailer released. > Hi, > > Quote > Also, when turning, the engine should sound different I think. > Perhaps there should be a bit of an echo, there'd probably be a wall at > least on > one side that the sound would bounce off... > End quote > > That is a good suggestion, and that should be easy enough to accomplish. > DirectX allows for the applying of effects like echo which I can turn on > or off as needed.
