Borderlands GOTY Enhanced w/ 3D spatial sound 🎧 (OpenAL Soft HRTF audio)
15USE HEADPHONES ONLY with any virtual surround like Windows Sonic turned off.
This is Borderlands: Game of the Year Enhanced with OpenAL Soft HRTF (IRC_1037 tables) using a 64-bit DSOAL provided by one of the Discord lurkers. Back when I mentioned "short-form content in 2021" in the hiatus video, I was thinking about the Borderlands games I had recorded up until that point in particular. Trust me, the original session was about a half-hour long and it didn't really get much more exciting than this. At least the characters don't make constant HILARIOUS quips in this one.
Borderlands 1 is a bit of an odd case. It's Unreal Engine 3, but it doesn't use OpenAL as its API. Rather, it uses FMOD. For some reason, it will still work with DSOAL and translate the virtual speaker positions into HRTF. The audio is actually not bad, aside from the lack of vertical audio. It honestly sounds just as good as Borderlands 3's Dolby Atmos implementation, which to me says a lot about Dolby Atmos for headphones' shortcomings as a spatial audio software.
