Starship Troopers with 3D spatial sound (CMSS-3D HRTF audio)
2Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off.
Have you ever played the Sandtraps chapter from Half-Life 2 and thought to yourself, "Man, I love all these endlessly respawning Antlions! If only someone would make an entire game out of them." No? Well uh, Strangelite did apparently. This is a demonstration of Starship Troopers with the X-Fi Titanium's native CMSS-3D HRTF. Surprisingly, for such a shovelware game made by nobodies, Starship Troopers has very good binaural audio. The constant ambient explosions helps add to the soundscape, though this demo has worse sound mixing than the full game as well as missing dialogue.
I'm playing this with the WineD3D fix for corrupted graphics linked below. The fully-patched retail version can benefit from 1080p and increased FOV. I should point out that for some reason, OBS Classic records this game upside-down.
