Turok 2: Seeds of Evil Remastered w/ 3D spatial sound (OpenAL Soft HRTF audio)
7Use headphones only with any virtual surround features turned off. Best HRTF effect at 17:29.
SPOILER ALERT: I have to backtrack to save the third child at the end. I also forget the last Level 3 key, but honestly fuck this game's level design anyway.
This is a demonstration of Turok 2: Seeds of Evil Remastered with 3D sound using OpenAL Soft's HRTF. Just like Turok 1 Remastered, you can replace the included OpenAL32.dll with a renamed 64-bit soft_oal.dll to get binaural audio. The HRTF has actually improved a bit in this game. Maybe it's the slightly higher-quality samples, I don't know. There's also vertical HRTF this time, which I don't believe was in Turok 1's version of the Kex engine. I once read a rumor that the original PC port was going to have Aureal A3D support, but it had to be scrapped for time.
If it wasn't clear enough from the hour-long footage you'll never watch, I'm not really the biggest fan of this game. Everyone preferred Turok 2 over Turok 1 back in the day, but I've always thought the original was superior in every way. It's like the same exact thing that happened between Banjo-Kazooie and Banjo-Tooie/DK64. Also, at least in Turok 1 you don't have to aim for tiny head hitboxes just to not waste all your ammo. Plus, the original N64/PC version of Turok 2 had some of the worst controls ever. It literally took a full second before Joshua would start moving after you pressed a key.
