This is a demonstration of the TekwarGDX source port, which can be configured to use OpenAL Soft's HRTF. This was actually M210's first ever BuildGDX port, predating BloodGDX by a year. You could even say that without this port, we wouldn't even have BloodGDX. So thanks, Capstone and uh...William Shatner? The 3D positional audio is the same as the other ports, but the effect is more apparent than in Witchaven due to the better usage of ambient sounds.
TekWar has to be one of the worst FPS games I've ever played. Witchaven was shitty and boring, but at least I get what they were going for. You can tell Capstone wanted TekWar to be an immersive, open-world Deus Ex type of game, but it's so painfully obvious they didn't have the talent or creativity. They just drop you into these huge, empty city hubs with no hints or directions on where you're supposed to go next. The joke is that once you learn what to do, you can beat these levels in under three minutes. That's not going to stop it from taking potentially hours the first time you play, though!
Shoutout to kurtis2221 for his helpful playthrough.
