Impact time (beta, full) - Burnout 3: takedown

Out of curiosity and boredom, I managed to find these sounds on my own, because I felt it was necessary to have the complete collection of these sounds in their 30 seconds glory, even the early / scrapped versions.
I included the file name of each sound to let you know that:
A) The previous compilation has the wrong order.
B) The "zSloCrash" tag numbers coincide with the sequence used in the final build of the game. The whole "CRASH#(N°)" thing made everything slightly confusing.
(I don't know what the "z" stands for, but I know the rest is "Slow Crash", directly referring to impact time).
I could see for myself which sounds were duplicates; they were zSloCrash02 and zSloCrash17, if I'm not wrong.
This also proves that the final sounds Crash 9 and Crash 10, were completely absent in the demo.
Interestingly, they also had their own "Streams" folder, compared to just being placed under the "Tracks" folder like in the final game.

[@familiaj.r.7739]

I don't like the decision that criterion did including these sounds, because the Game had a rad theme, like: yeah! Crash everyone! It doesn't matter! Yeah! And then they put *THIS* in the game, it isn't a good contrast in my opinion. These sounds would fit better with a darker tone game, like thrill drive

[@NoBillsOfCrashDamage]

I remember being told that the very first Burnout was basically an answer to Thrill Drive. And, honestly, I barely noticed these sounds during Impact Time until a few years ago; when I did, I thought they did a good job at conveying the severity of YOU crashing, as that meant you're no longer as untouchable as you felt right before.

Great, now I have scared myself from playing B3. Criterion were planning to make it darker. Kinda makes me feel bad wrecking into traffic in other games but hey accidents happen. I guess someone at Criterion thought they were taking it way too far with the impact time sounds that they cut most of it out.

A former developer did tell me on Reddit that they had to tone down the sounds to keep a low ESRB rating.

Still don't understand how the driver dies from said crash when some you can actually survive

At least in Road Rage you could say the driver dies once the car is totaled. But how they survived all the crashes leading to that moment is obviously impossible, according to real logic.

[@NoBillsOfCrashDamage]

I used different programs at first, but the easiest way is with Foobar2000. You can extract / convert to other formats if you want. However, if you want to import the sounds to a different game, then you'd have to do away with 2 audio channels, most likely, since a single RWS has both the impact time sound, and the metal mangling that plays at normal speed wrecks.
