Sacred 2 - Blog Update @ IGN

Dhruin · June 21, 2008

The official Sacred 2 blog at IGN has a new entry on progamming 5.1 sound:

Lars Hammer (37) is the lead audio designer and audio/network programmer on Sacred 2 - Fallen Angel. Today he will shed some light on the special aspects of Sacred 2's 5.1 music - and prick up your ears too!

At demonstrations and press events I always point out that Sacred 2 is one of the few games featuring an actual 5.1 soundtrack. Usually, people reply "Well, that's not really that new a feature. When I play xyz I always hear something on the back speakers, too..."

Therefore, I'd like to tell you a bit more about this subject.

More information.

5.1 ? Yeah, but who actually HAS a back speaker on his or her "workplace" where the PC is installed ?

Plus, for me, who usually uses headphones(and has never head speakers this far), this means nothing at all. Sorry.

I feel like enough of a nerd for PC gaming as it is. I wouldn't want to have to explain why I have umpteen little speakers scattered around my computer chair.
