TURN YOUR VOLUME UP & USE HEADPHONES ONLY with any virtual surround like Windows Sonic turned off. Best HRTF effects at 0:13, 1:28, 2:36, 3:15, 4:58, 10:38, and 11:18.

This is Grand Theft Auto III with EAX 1.0 and OpenAL Soft's HRTF through DSOAL [IRC_1037 tables]. I'm playing with an extensive modlist linked below. No doubt, GTA3 has been a long-awaited game among my subscribers, especially when I teased it in late 2018. To be honest, I've never really been a fan of GTA3 and I've had a lot of trouble trying to piece together a gameplay demonstration that would be worth watching. The story missions are really boring even up until the third act and the sandbox element isn't nearly as interesting as in Vice City, let alone San Andreas. Even this footage is pretty boring until the 10 minute mark.

Even though GTA3 was made back in 2001, its hardware-accelerated audio is still way ahead of anything Rockstar is capable of pumping out nowadays. Seriously, compare this footage to the GTA V HeSuVi videos on the internet. It's fucking depressing. Not only are the positional audio and doppler effects very immersive, but the EAX effects and Dynamic Acoustic Modelling add a ton of atmosphere. DSOAL even has the added benefit of fixing the distorted sounds that are in Miles Fast 2D Positional Audio mode. Unfortunately, EAX 3.0 is broken (long story) so you'll have to make due with EAX 1.0. They sound pretty similar, anyway.
