BloodRayne 2 with 3D spatial sound 🎧 (OpenAL Soft HRTF audio)
9Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off. Best HRTF effect at 4:35.
This is a demonstration of BloodRayne 2 with 3D sound using OpenAL Soft's HRTF through DSOAL. This game doesn't seem to boast EAX support like its predecessor, but it still gets quality 3D sound nonetheless. Unfortunately, this demo level is much longer than BloodRayne 1's and has no ambient sounds. Still, you can hear the binaural audio effect whenever an enemy gets dismembered and the camera pans around the rushing blood sound effect.
I'm playing this with the fan-made FSAA patch that enables multi-threaded rendering, Hor+ widescreen, and high-quality 4096x4096 effects. This explains why objects disappear off the sides of the screen: since BloodRayne 2 is a console port, it was only optimized for 4:3 resolutions.
(In case you were wondering, yes, the Monty Python Sir Lancelot sound in Blood Rage mode is the single greatest thing about this game)
