The new sounds might be better. But, the issue for me is that I'm so used to listening to the old sounds that I wrongly assume which hero is which. Especially Soldier And Soujorn
Good point. That might take some getting used to.
The most realistical ones sound better in 2, but I refuse to believe that laser guns like Dva and Mercy sounds almost like powder guns.
@@rathalos143 ?
Theyre not better
@@ludwigvanbeethoven8164 Yes they do. They have more "oomf" to their sounds and sound more realistic.
4:33 wow I've never heard that sound in game before
justice for your comment man... that was funny af
REAL LMAO (I'm a Moira main)
LMAO im dead

I personally feel like I’m the only one who appreciates the orb floating in Zen’s reload animation. The orb disappearing during the clap giving the player information that the reload is done as soon as the clap is done and not after when he intertwines his fingers is a really nice detail
I noticed that, very cool
When he shoots like his hind do fancy stuff in each shot and i love that but sometime or just randomly in a match it just stop so idk if its a bug but im sad
@@minhduongnguyen3671 it already happened to me, sometimes when you shoot the five orbs he stops this little animation after shooting one
God I love the more sharp and crystallized sound with Symmetra’s projector
And the fact that both her primary and secondary now actually fits with the character thematic
Primary now actually looks more like welding lasers rather than electric currents, same goes for secondary…the gun itself construct a crystallized ball rather than charging up energy plasma orb
I wish they had shown the different beam levels in the vid
i hate the new secondary on Symmetra how can u like it
@@szlendak1368
I myself actually didn’t like the secondary at first
I didn’t like how they took a really nice looking an identifiable plasma orb, and changed it to a ball of solid crystal that shatters on impact
If just doesn’t look like it hurt as much as a big orb of whirling energy flying at you
Then again, did not fit with the character thematic now that I look at it, you have a character that is built around creating geometric shapes, but then you have her shooting out these currents of energy that just doesn’t look stable at all
Her VFX now all looks like it belongs on her and made by her, though I hate the new teleporter I’ll tell you that.., it just looks like a bunch of lines attempting to make an oval portal shape
Symmetra definitely got the best gun makeover, my God. The muzzle flash is prismatic and pretty, makes it more obvious that her abilities are related to light rather than electricity. The color being lighter and desaturated helps that too. She'll never stop slaying fr
Ironically she will stop slaying cuz she got nerfed.
@@manufaas2815you be surprise how people still are doing great as her. Like I cannot tell you how many times I had a Sym on my team and did amazing. Not even mentioning the times I got my ass kicked because of the opposite team Sym. Mainly because a lot of people use Genji and she’s his counter.
The new visuals on the gun also look just eternally better than the ow1 ones
@@GrimmyTheGreat are you gold or plat or anything below that by any chance?
Symmetra got that remake due to her abilities being related to lifeweaver. So the colors and prismatic match each other
I definitely prefer OW2's. Much more bassy and punchy. Love it.
Save for a few exceptions, I also prefer most sounds from OW2.
You’re right, almost everything sounds like it has a little more kick to it. Like ashes shotgun for example.
I think Widow's powerful sniper shot should have stayed the same, the OW2 sound sounds like it has less kick to it
@@elliotwintersdemanagabei9437 i agree :( old one was a lot better
And Soldier now uses a Nerf gun. Great.
Genji's sound design was already so masterfully done that they hardly had to change it at all
me when i’m delusional
blade is so much worse now
@@neonoir__ Gosh how time flies! Overwatch and I are divorced now
@@dirt_dert_durt bummer, I think Overwatch is now better than it's ever been on the whole, lots of reasons why - hope you've found another game that hits right for you right now
I never realized that they were looking up the whole time until reaper threw the guns
I like how bastion’s recon configuration is a lot heavier sounding in OW2 since you are actually meant to use it now, while in OW1 it was meant to sound underwhelming since you were meant to fight in sentry config
I really like his OW1 recon weapon sounds but you make a good point.
The guns sound better pretty much across the board but I wish there were more altered reload animations like Orisa's.
Orisa's weapon got a complete rework. It has infinite ammo now and doesn't need to reload, unless you fire it for a long period of time and it heats up. Her abilities also got changed which I have shown in an Orisa-specific video, in case you're curious.
@@Ultraclocked she can actually do something now instead hide behind a shield, she shreds completely
The only one that sounds off is Sombra for me. Sounds like a P90 in OW1, but in 2 it sounds like she’s shooting pellets.
I agree. I much prefer the OW1 weapon sounds for Sombra, Cassidy, and DVa's pistol.
What is pellets?
@@Shadow82311 like little balls or pieces, like the things shotguns use.
I actually %100 disagree. Sombras weapon is an Mp7, and although not all of them have the exact same sound, one thing for sure is ow1 gun sounds like an uzi or a gun of a much smaller caliber. Mp7s are a bigger gun especially in one hand. I like the new sound so much better, it sounds like each shot is heard and not being muffled into this sporadic spray.
Also the location of the map changes the sound of the gun ever so slightly. If your in a open space liek this video, it loses a bit of bass and lower tones, but in close environments and caves you can hear more low tones. This also compliments sombras gun better too
Yeah I feel like in 2 many guns sound similar enough but many sound like youre shooting nothing of substance like sombra and soldier
I absolutely love how you segmented these comparisons. Having them switch between each shot or the reload really helps compare since we don’t have to remember the whole 10 or so seconds to compare in our minds
Thank you!
4:55 I was today years old when discovered that Orisa's circle thingy rotates as she fires in OW1, but sadly it was removed for some reason in OW 2.
Also, keep in mind that Zarya's weapon sound changes the more charged it is. It's not the same sound when you're at 0 energy as when you're at 100. Although I don't think it is that much different in OW2.
Cool video. We appreciate the effort.
Yeah, the circle rotation was pretty cool indeed. Not sure why they removed it.
Thank you for your appreciation ^^
I still remember hearing the new sounds when the first beta dropped. Every weapon sounded so satisfying; that’s not to say the Overwatch 1 weapons didn’t, but there’s a certain feeling of power and impact from the Overwatch 2 weapons that just adds so much to the experience of shooting. In FPS games, guns should feel cool because they sound cool, and OW2 excels at that.
We can say a lot about Activision and Call of Duty, but Blizzard having them as mother-company is the whole reason why we have Overwatch in the first place. CoD devs really helped a lot during the development of that licence and once again for the sound design.
Gears of war managed to do the opposite of this with their recent games
the best and only real way to describe it is that in OW2 they just have more of that satisfactory "oomph" to them.
@@Wellshem i honestly wouldn't be surprised if activision got some of the infinity ward sound guys to help out on ow2, the guns sound punchy as hell.
My only issue with OW2 is that weapons sound very similar now and it is a bit harder to recognize people by pure sound design. Other than that, it sounds nice they have added reverb and base
Agreed
@@rhyssko They fucking do actually. Nerd.
@@rhyssko mccree's gunshot noise sounds like a sniper wym
And some ambience
@@taste9689 It doesn't.
I love the small details.... Such as soldiers gun slightly beeping when low on ammo. Never knew it did that.
Making people notice details like that is one of my favourite things with these videos :)
Audio and visual departments definitely did their jobs well! Now if only the monetization and progression was of this quality...
I am not going to admit how long it took me to realize that they were shooting at the sky 💀
xD
Clean editing as usual congrats 💪 i think the sound effects on OW2 are more polished but thats a given, however skins in OW1 were just way better imo
Thank you, mate! Thankfully, you can choose between either of these skins. The old sounds are gone though.
Yeah the sounds effects and visuals are more polished. But I think prefer the new style.
One might notice that a good number of the firearms actually sound more like- *real* firearms now. Especially Widow and Ashe. and Not to Mention this is a Great perspective on the improvement the Engine swap really makes on how everything looks, and how lighting has changed Drastically.
The new sounds put more emphasis on what it would actually sound like so the guns have a more noticeable bang sound and meele weapons are adjusted to the according weapon, I love it
I remember how weird some of the new sounds felt at launch but now after some months of playing with the ow2 sounds I definitely have gotten used to them. Most of the sounds are much better now. The only one that i really prefer from ow1 is the sound of sombras uzi.
so this is what all my team mates are doing in my comp matches
hahaha
Cassidy bullets make interesting sounds when hitting the ground or walls, also I would liked to see Dva's micromissiles.
Yeah, the bullet ricochet sounds are pretty cool but they are pretty much the same in OW2. I have included those in my OW1 weapons & abilities showcase video.
Good point about DVa's micro missiles. I'll see if I can showcase them.
I love the visuals of old doomfist; its less polished and more clunchy, but I just like the precisiveness of it.
The weapons redesigns are so amazing 😍
Zarya sounds are incredible, giving that muffled explosion vibes, love it!
Moira succ used to be conected to some tubes leading to her backpack, in OW2 the darn thing is conected to her mutated arm, cool.
I miss Solider 76's old gun sound... Imo I liked it way more than what we have now.
Yeah ikr, it had a futuristic vibe to it, now it feels like a generic fps game
100 percent agree. New sound just doesn’t have the “punch” of the old one
i prefer the new sound tbh, older one sounded like pew pew pew pew but new one sounds like dut dut dut dut
Widowmaker went from Sniping with an M14 EBR to a Barrett M82A1
The updated weapon designs are lush as hell. Special mention to Sombra's gun & Symmetra's weapon
Hah, the joy i had when I realized whose video this was! Great content as usual!
Ayy, thanks so much my dude!
Sounds are good, but I love the sounds of callouts on 2 specific characters people call out on and they don’t say it correctly. Soldier 76 and Sojourn. It’s funny because I see bunch of Overwatch players say them accidentally in reverse on which character is who on the enemy team 😂
4:46 I think I never truly appreciated moira sound effect when she kills someone, like a soul screaming leaving the body, pretty cool
I like how in OW2 the sounds are more crisp and defined.
Mmmmm gun reloading and shooting asmr🤤
Jokes aside im a sucker for the metal like snappy sounds of the new weapons
The new sounds are mixed much wider. Feels more polished if you ask me.
I like both version. The real diffrence for me is better 3d behavior for this sounds in ow2.
Also, some weapons sound really cool when they have mercy or ana damage boost
I miss sombras old sound 💔
Same. It was probably my favourite weapon sound in the game.
why does sombra's gun sound completely diffenrent in my game? to the point where the sound actually hurts in my hears
everything sounds shinier
In OW1 they really seemed to enjoy muffling the sounds of the guns. In OW 2 it feels like the guns actually have impact.
Imma be honest, I prefer sombras old firing noise. It's not to say that the new one Is bad but something about the old one has that kick that smgs have.
The new gun sounds or sounds in general in ow 2 sound more impactful in my opinion...
Which is nice.
A year later, it's weird seeing the difference in some weapons(mainly Orisa and Roadhog after his rework)
I feel it would've been better of you made sure the reloads with variable pitch like D.VA's reload or Junkrat's bomb explosion remained the same (could just keep retaking clip until the pitch is the same unless it's completely random but I'm pretty sure there is only a preset amount of pitch sounds).
Excellent video nonetheless!
I did record footage for all of the variations and I don't recall exactly why I chose the footage I chose but I'm pretty sure I had a good reason for that. I'll have to look through the footage again to remember. I think it was all about what felt the most satisfying while watching.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Difference is even greater in game. It's a matter of getting used to, but I do enjoy the new sounds.
Widowmakers new sounds really sound DEADLY. Like jesus
I feel like Ana’s gun sounds a bit too loud compared to others. Also does anyone hear kiriko’s voice lines loudly even when you’re not near her or playing as her? It’s really odd because she’s way louder. You can clearly tell too because the other person she interacts with sounds lower/normal.
Same there's some lines that are louder than the other
7:16 that sound is sick, love it.
The new ones feel heavier and with more impact, i like it
Probably cause i never played or heard of the game before overwatch 2
Bassy sounds might sound better as a spectator but they're worse for feedback while playing. You want crisp, not muddled. This is why gaming headphones artificially reduce bass.
Honestly it sounds like a lot of weapons got not only clearer, but they gave many weapons more punch.
Oh yeah, this was definitely worth the 3 year wait
the noises in OW2 make the weapons feel more powerful, in a way? like you’re actually doing damage
So basically they just added bass to everything
Even if some of them sound basically the same it's cool they went and redid them all even if it was just slightly
i still love how the old bastion recon gun just magically widens itself like and then shoots the bullet out like in cartoons
The reaper one made me realize you’re looking up
OW2 sound design team absolutely killing it as usual
fun fact: the torbjorn animation bug is still there in the game, the gun moves while his arm doesn't
Yo I just realized old Pharah has the same sound as Reaper with slightly more added
Imma be frank, I can't stand the sounds from most of the ar's and smg's. Like Soldier, Sojourn, Sombra, Widow, and Hammond. They sound so... Cartoony? You know how Bastion's lego gun sounds? That's how they all sound to me. They sound like toys and it's just not a nice sound to me lol
How did you get the footage of overwatch 1? Was it just recorded before it went down or is there some sort of offline preservation?
I recorded it before OW2 dropped.
I like Genji's new shuriken sound, but I will miss his old one
Took me a midnight to realize this isnt a blue screen but the sky
Wow I never even realized the sounds changed..
OW: _Firecrackers_
OW2: *B A S S*
It sounds better in OW2 for all of them except Sombra imo
“Hey boss how should we improve the graphics on our new game?”
“Just make everything yellow they won’t care”
When you record the gameplay, what audio setting to you use? I use Studio Reference.
Headphones.
istg when i first got back to playing ow2 i was so confused by soldier's weapon
Only one I dislike is Junkrat's explosion sound. First one sounds like an egg timer, second sounds like an egg timer that was dropped in water.
Ngl I kinda prefer (at 6:35) the old helix rocket explosion sound effect over the new one.. it sounds more close to the way something far away would sound
Kind of sad how orisa still has her old bongo ult on her back but she can’t even use it anymore lol
Tbh i never luke the bongo. Or much of orisa's old kit for that matter
For some reason, it feels as if Genji's primary fire has less frames in OW2.
Quand tu fais un belle grosse vidéo, pour montrer que ... Bah rien ne change VRAIMENT en fait. 😂
first time ever i notice doom knuckles "recharge"
does this tickle anyone else’s brain
Didn’t realize how much faster dooms reload is in this game
second game sound design is so much cleaner and has more impact
Overwatch 2 Widow gun sounds are pure eargasm
Where scoped Ana sound?
7:44 if you pause it at just the right frames, torb's hammer looks funny
I miss Orisa's old weapon
Anyone who thinks the old one was better is stuck in the nostalgia 😭
i feel like one of the few that prefer ow1 sounds. they were more distinct & less harsh to listen to
Those that have been changed all sounds much nicer
I wish they had a settings to change the sound :(

i prefer old bastion, soldier 76, and widow ar sounds. they sound more realistic
Overall, Overwatch 2's sound design is significantly more crisp and also more punchy/satisfying. There are some cases where it's more or less a sidegrade, but it's usually a substantial upgrade.
Hitscan weapons feel so weak in this game but sound so powerful.
Overwatch 2 sounds just have that little laser sound effect added
Cassidy's gun is so LOUD now
Agreed. I much prefer the OW1 sounds for his revolver.
toothpick changes everything
wdym?
@@Ultraclocked some of the new weapon animations and sounds are cool, but most of them sounds the same as ow1
10:01 nice touch Blizzard
Bastions old gun is so much better than the overwatch 2
