Games with Best Audio

AKS

Are their any games from Electronic Arts that use HD audio? They have some stellar sounding games, but I can't think of any that actually use 7.1 LPCM like a lot of the best sounding PS3 1st and 2nd party games. Why make a game with awesome sound like Dead Space and then cap the quality at 5.1 DTS?

I don't think so. It most likely has to do with the fact that their games are multi-platform, and probably using the 360 as the initial development platform (which doesn't support 7.1).

I agree Dead Space does sound amazing.

Yep socom shines outa all the above with all its THX certified glory having the best seperation . I really am able to tell exactly where theshots are coming from and it does make good use of the LFE at just the right times

Mostly though video game audio becomes very annoying and causes a sense overload . This can affect your play performance along with intense visual responce to action so I think this is why its not important enough for people to invest in the audio and use there funds for larger displays

The incredible immersion can become annoying? Your crazy! Its my favorite part of my audio system right now. Your sensories must overload too easily.

I'm only annoyed when a game underestimates my system's bass output. In a game like BlazBlue there is one attack (the vampire girl) that is just waaaaaay too loud in the LF compared to everything else. Same goes for Disagaea.

I should have stated that I was referring to fatigue endured by online gaming like FPS

I agree that good audio is mandatory for getting the best experience in a normal campaign type of game

Maybe you should invest in a larger display like a pj as I can see you getting the most out of the experience with that 32" postcard

lanion

Haha.. yeah. In time. I had a 100" FP setup for a while but had to sell it. That was pretty awesome.... itll happen again someday. Fortunately the audio sweet spot is about 3 feet in front of the TV right now so it works out.

I totally disagree with that. I couldn't play shooters without at least 5.1 surround, and really like the 7.1 on the ps3 even better. In the new operation flashpoint game the only way you have of even knowing where the enemy is, is by listening to where the shots came from. That game would be so hard on the hardcore setting with just a TV for the sound. With 7.1 surround sound you have a very large advantage over someone with just a tv.

I do agree though that if you are playing on a 20 inch tv that I would upgrade that before buying the surround sound. But if I had at least 32 inch tv I would get an HT system before upgrading to 1080p, or a larger screen.

Anyone that owns a PS3 would be doing themselves a disservice by not picking up Uncharted 2. Not only is it one of the best sounding games, but might be one of the best games I've ever played.

It plays out like a movie, and one that is better then most of today's Hollywood scripts. Phenomenal.

I saw that. Great commercial.

Oh cath go buy them like everyone else . This is a forum for audio enthusiasts

I haven't visited this thread for awhile. I wondered if anyone knew of a database or resource for easily determining what type of audio is available for games. I'm getting sick of scouring the net every time a new game shows up, especially when a lot of games incorrectly display a game's actual available audio. With games like Metal Gear Solid 4, Battlefield: Bad Company 2, and Red Dead Redemption on PS3, my display on my receiver says 7.1, but my rear surrounds do not produce any sound. I'd like to just know what's available in the first place, but other than Naughty Dog's awesome in-game audio detection and adjustment system, most don't tell you much about the audio.

Im going to throw Bad Company 2 out there. I rented it to see if it was worth purchasing, and it is I might add. There is some pretty kick **** surround sound. If you have a 5.1 system this game will make your spine tingle.

I agree, BC2 does have impressive sound.

Uncharted 2
Dead Space
Bad Company 2
Alan Wake

Uncharted 2 sucks (not the audio or the game), but online play. Once you spend 8 hours playing the game you will have it beat and never play the game again. I'm not sure about dead space, I've never played it. Bad Company 2 however is amazing, even online. So once you beat the game you will have fun playing P2P.

Uncharted 2 does not suck. Best single player adventure/cinematic experience ever. Multiplayer is meh but not bad.

There is something to be said for a super high quality game that you CAN finish in less than 20 hours... or even 10 hours.

Agreed. It doesn't mean if you can beat a game in 10-20 hours that its a bad game. My experience say with metroid prime was much better than game like final fantasy 7. Im MP, I enjoyed the entire game (about 15 hours first time I think) while ff7 took like 40. But it seems developors just added random crap to make it longer so there was long sengments of the game I couldn't stand (The first five hours in that big city was the worst)

So in the end, did I enjoy final fantasy 7... of course but its not better because its longer.

If the audio is marvellous in your game then you can enjoy in playing game.There are lots of games which have a good audio like Ps3 games,Xbox 360,NES games etc.If the games are action and have terrible audio then you feel like gaming character.

Ditto. Honestly any AAA game is going to be solid audio.

Gears of War 2 was a blast all the way through, with the intro being a standout which gets you pumped up.

Dead Space was phenomenal and totally nailed the atmosphere.

Bioshock was the same way, the sound recordings and ambient affects pulled you into the game.

Killzone 2 was similar to GoW2, weak dialogue but amazing music and effects that really bring you into the world.

Company of Heroes on the PC is a standout for me, everything just sounds so real.

Dead Space was simply stunning. Best use of surround I've heard in a game, and definitely increased the scare factor. Bioshock was also very immersive.

Played quite a bit of Batman: Arkham Asylum last night, and the sound in that game is PHENOMENAL. I'm seriously blown away that they finally made a Batman game that is GOOD and makes you feel like Batman. Definitely worth a buy.
