Sniper Elite 4 - Binaural Simulation quick test (HRTF 3D spatial audio)
Use headphones only with any virtual surround like Windows Sonic turned off.
Sniper Elite V2 Remastered is coming out soon, and I was very curious if it would have the same "Binaural Simulation" feature as Sniper Elite 4 did. I never actually knew SE4 natively supported HRTF until someone by the name of "Reacher-Said-Nothing" on Reddit mentioned it in a thread. I wound up purchasing SE4 for a whopping $12 USD on sale just to try it out.
While I do appreciate that Rebellion is one of the few developers to cater to the intrests of this niche, I definitely think the 3D positional audio is weak from what little I've played. I'm not sure what spatialization plugin they used; I suspected Google Resonance because the accuracy is poor, but it causes a massive CPU spike so it couldn't possibly be. In any case, this is one title where I'll have to wait for my eventual upgrade before I do a full, in-depth demonstration.
