Clive Barker's Undying w/ EAX & 3D spatial sound (OpenAL Soft HRTF audio)
5Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off. Best HRTF effect at 12:50. Cutscenes from 5:43-8:26 and 24:41-26:46.
This is a follow-up to one of my earliest videos, which was requested by user Sean Gatchell. This is Clive Barker's Undying with OpenAL Soft HRTF through DSOAL. Whereas the original CMSS-3D video had very flat binaural audio, the DSOAL wrapper improves Undying's positional audio accuracy tenfold. There's even a bit of EAX reverb at 10:58 and 23:06. The game still has a lack of ambient sound emitters and dialogue being played in mono, though. The shotgun also has a tendency to get really quiet when it hits things.
I do apologize for the massive spikes in framerate, especially at 21:10. If you remember the original video, then you'd know this game is next to impossible to record in widescreen at 60FPS. I had to jump through a lot of hoops with dgVoodoo2 just to get Undying to record in 4:3 at all. Did you know that trying to change inventory causes windowed dgVoodoo2 to crash? Yeah, it was that bad. Hopefully this laggy video makes up for the glitchy, unwatchable CMSS-3D video.
