Infernal w/ EAX & 3D spatial sound 🎧 (OpenAL Soft HRTF audio)
3USE HEADPHONES ONLY with any virtual surround like Windows Sonic turned off. Best HRTF effects at 0:00, 2:56, 5:54, and 15:08.
This is Infernal with OpenAL Soft's HRTF through DSOAL [IRC_1037 preset]. Basically, Infernal is the anti-Painkiller. Instead of a fucking awesome first-person shooter where you play as heaven's hitman that's lightning-paced and filled with interesting level designs, Infernal is a painfully slow and boring third-person shooter where you play as hell's assassin in bland environments. Infernal isn't even funny bad like Made Man, it's just dreadfully mediocre. Like, why the hell do you have to suck out the souls of every single enemy just to get more health and ammo? In other games, it would take half a second, but in Infernal you have to watch this 5-second animation every single time. Also, even though Infernal came out 3 months after Gears of War, the cover shooting mechanics are on-par with Winback: Covert Operations on the Nintendo 64.
Interestingly, Infernal was one of the last "major" titles to support EAX 4.0 in 2007. Compared to F.E.A.R. 1, it's pretty basic and barely there. There's an .ini setting called "EAX_wallocclusion" but I guess they ran out of time to implement it. They were too busy messing around with those PhysX curtains, I guess.
