Ty the Tasmanian Tiger w/ 3D spatial sound 🎧 (OpenAL Soft HRTF audio)
8USE HEADPHONES ONLY with any virtual surround like Windows Sonic turned off. Best HRTF effects at 0:00, 0:39, 1:22, 5:07, and 7:30.
Thanks to Discord user Anton, we found out that the Ty the Tasmanian Tiger trilogy on Steam has full 3D audio with OpenAL Soft's HRTF [IRC_1037 tables in video]. The 3D audio is fairly nice, perhaps quite even the most notable thing about this doomed-to-obscurity mascot platformer. It does have that problem where sounds behind the listener get much louder, though.
You'll notice that I really don't do much in this video and half the duration is cut out. Well, besides collect-a-thon platformers not making for very exciting viewing, I have a weird issue with this game. Within 20 minutes, Ty gives me the most nauseous feeling in the pit of my stomache. I seriously feel like I have to vomit every time I play this. I think it's the overly sensitive camera plus the somewhat zoomed-in FOV.
Also of note is that up until a month ago, I was not able to play this on PC at a decent framerate at all due to Ty only being optimized for OpenGL, and poorly at that.
