    Best sounding WipEout to me. I'm glad the ships make some proper noises when passing you or airbraking.
    The lack of cool ship sounds was always one of my main issues with the series, I'm glad they worked on it.
    I also like the soundtrack, although it's a bit on the weaker side of the spectrum.

    i'm glad most of you like it (you must be real robust souls :-)

    plasma sound - ridiculous for me
    rockets sound - ridiculous for me
    explosions sound - ridiculous for me
    PISTON SOUND for jet engines - are you serious ?
    and many more ....

    Sounds like kinda "t*ys r *s" store for 3 yrs olds for me.
    Tried to play without sound - much better but boring in a way.

    i'm out - only solution for me would be a "classic sound pack"
    Since this won't happen - i'm quitting omega - so sad :-(

    I love the style of the new sounds and overall am very happy with them (especially the new boost sound), but there's a real lack of bass on the rocket, missile and bomb explosions. They sound really metallic and have nowhere near the weight of the PS3 HD/Fury equivalents, which really hit home when an explosion went off. I'm playing on a full surround set up with a dedicated subwoofer, so it's not my set up that's at fault. Any chance of altering them a bit?

    Agreed. I'm not in love with the new sounds but in no way is it messing with my enjoyment of the game.
    Quitting altogether seems pretty extreme

    Its a bit different than what Im used to with HD/Fury, but the new sounds have grown on me. I quite like them. I get that its not going to be everyones cup of tea, but quitting all together over sounds is a bit much. The rocket noise is entertaining XD

    There’s also an option to adjust the sound output to your audio setup in the audio settings menus. I imagine sound effects to be mixed differently to accommodate the output. That may have an effect on how dull or clear the game sounds. I for one do not own any surround sound setup but rely on an old pair of heavy stereo speakers from the 70s with an dedicated amplifier. That’s why I switched the output to „headphones“ which should be a true stereo output from what I understand. I’ll fiddle with the settings though, to get a clearer picture of what these options actually do.

    I have no problem with the sound at all.

    I more and more love these sounds. The starting sequence, the rockets, mines, bombs. Also that clirring when someone is hit by a rocket or missile is great!
    And these board computer voices! I love these of FEISAR and AG-Sys

    I really enjoy this new sound design. I thought i wouldn't like it but it works very well!
    My only request would have been to have a more dramatic sound when a contender gets eliminated, like in 2097, with a "BANG" so strong that makes you say "oh s*** it gets serious" even if it's behind you.

    I really enjoy the new sounds (with the notable exception of the cannon, it literally sounds like its going "pew pew"), they all sound much more realistic and powerful than before.

    I adore the engine sounds, I absolutely love that they're different between teams.
    Ditto the various pickup announcers - though I'd like even more of them if it was possible, maybe even in the home language of the various teams. So far I've noticed japanese, african (sorry I can't be more specific than that) and russian accents. It makes the game world feel more grounded in this world

    They are in the home languages for 2048. English (FEISAR), Japanese (AG-Systems), American (Auricom), Russian (Qirex) and Portuguese (Pir-Hana) For the other teams in HD I think they've tried to assign them a language that would be the closest to where they are located, albeit not entirely successfully. Obviously Icaras having the English accent makes sense, but Triakis having the Japanese one doesn't so much.

    Triakis is such a dissonance! A weapons conglomerate making a tank of a craft with a camo paintjob... having a cute Japanese voice as it's readout? XD

    Recently i´ve noticed birds singing on Moa Therma! Played without background music for some time. Never heard this on PS3. What a love for details, i appreciate that.

    I don't have the game, but I've seen a bit of footage now and noticed a few changes. I wouldn't say the sound is all for the worse - in fact, I think they fixed 2048's sounds a lot. On the Vita, the ships sounded like cars, which always bugged me.

    But yeah, some of the main weapon sounds are a bit iffy now. Exploding rockets sound like opening a pack of Pringles () and, the 2048 announcers being moved into HD was a mistake IMO - the cheese level is to the point of being more annoying than helpful.

    I also can't stand the new music - it's horrible! Of course, everyone's tastes are different, but I had to get it out there...

    You get used to the sounds.

    Don’t care much for the music either, but there’s workarounds to get yours going instead.
