What we need is Dolby Atmos support for games.

Dolby atmos is a game changer imo. Anyone that comments against it, doesnt have it or has never heard it.

blm5042846d ago

Does the X have Dolby Atmos

bluefox7552846d ago

I've tried it on my PC with my Sennheiser 598cs, didn't notice a difference from the default "virtual surround".

sprinterboy2846d ago

Nxt gen is gonna be expensive, still have my 4k TV to buy (£2,000 plus) , dolby atmos (£500 plus) ps5 (£400) and finish off psvr2 (£400plus). I make that about £3,100 lol

MattE2846d ago

bluefox755. You won't through headphones.. Maybe a small difference. Need a speaker set up

Shikoku2846d ago

Most people dont even own an atmos enable device.

generic-user-name2846d ago

Same thing applies to VR imo.

No wait HDR10+ for the win.

I welcome options but wow them prices for the sound systems are way too steep, as long as ps5 supports it then good until prices drop.

rainslacker2846d ago

Game engines can provide what is essentially Dolby Atmos without needing the Dolby atmos license to play it. Dolby Atmos is just object positioned audio channels which has been built into game engines since Unreal Engine 2.

You can even play it on non-Atmos receivers....although it won't be set up to handle the channels the same way.

indysurfn2845d ago (Edited 2845d ago )

Dolby for the win!

warriorcase2845d ago

Fox has already signed on for Samsungs HDR10+ as a partnering studio so hopefully we see some 4k bluerays with HDR10+ end of this year. Being fox, I would love to see an Aliens movie collection remastered.

I love HDR and what it brings to games!

phoenixwing2846d ago

i still have to buy a 4k tv let alone a 4k hdr tv

Shikoku2846d ago

Um almost all 4k TVs are HDR enable so no worries.

Bronxs152846d ago

Now can we get YouTube HDR support?

cd12846d ago

Youtube already outputs in HDR on my TV.

Bronxs152845d ago

is that the native app in your tv? is it an LG or Samsung?

cd12845d ago (Edited 2845d ago )

@Bronxs

Yea the native app on the Samsung KS7000 but i do understand not all TVs from different manufacturers have this functionality, IIRC a while back Richard Leadbetter from DF mentioned Samsung TVs specifically when talking about a HDR Youtube video he had uploaded.

Liqu1d2846d ago

It's cool that Sony thought ahead in regards to HDR, it's nice not having to buy a new console just for HDR.

NO, that can't be... No! I can't... Really?/s

Cacabunga64d ago

They for sure chose the worst way to deal with it

-Foxtrot63d ago

Funny considering Bruce left half way through development and now we get told there was an internal conflict with the story direction.

Makes you think…

HectixRose64d ago

I think it was good decision, if he was still alive, he would have been a mascot just like Kratos, drake and many others. These old dudes gotta die for new characters to take center stage with their own storyline. They keep dragging the emotional baggage into many sequels and eventually the story just turns into absolute shit show.

JEECE64d ago

It was ironic because people complained heavily about the story in the Uncharted games not having sufficient stakes because all the key characters always survived, despite the dangerous situations they were always in. Then ND killed a character in a more serious series and everyone lost their minds. Just shows that people don't always really want the thing they say they want.

CantThinkOfAUsername63d ago

I thought the more common complaint about Uncharted franchise was how the main cast are the good guys acting so nonchalantly while killing hundreds in cold blood (aka the dissonance between gameplay and story cutscenes). They just did it again in Part II.

Soy64d ago

Didn't have to kill him. Just have them part ways or Joel can "retire," whatever.

DarXyde64d ago

I don't think he would necessarily need to become a mascot (and besides, technically, I'd say Ellie is... So regardless, someone was going to be).

From a narrative perspective, I do think it has a similar effect to Ricky dying in Boyz N Da Hood: very likeable character, and you're really motivated to see the get back—in this case, it's more intense because it's an interactive experience. Most people hated Abby, but I get what they were after with portraying the cycle of violence and revenge—unfortunately, the game appears to want to take the side of the bad people.

But I will say that if Joel survived, it does become harder to tell an interesting story. What COULD have happened is an exploration into the rift between Joel and Ellie after the trolley dilemma events of the first game. It could have been interesting to see Abby out for revenge at the same time Ellie hated Joel.

Ashunderfire8664d ago

Sorry just had to say this lol! RICKYYYY!

Man Cuba Gooding Jr was miscast in that movie, but that part was cringey it was sad and funny at the same time man.

Ashunderfire8664d ago (Edited 64d ago )

I understand but the way they went about killing Joel, was poorly executed. Even the show of the Last of Us games tried to improved it, but it was just as bad. Well at least Joel got to know the reason why he had to die, before the death happened in the show. That part gave us the full context, but the game just let it happen with no pay off.

Joel death should have been a midway thing through the story, so we at least get to play him a little more with Ellie. Abby didn’t need to be this Hulk looking woman, but more like the show Abby which is a beater idea in my opinion.

The only ND game that was so disappointing to me I couldn't finish it.

pwnmaster300064d ago

Honestly as much as I loved the game, they could have just not killed him off.
I get it creator vision and all but killing a character that made you millions is just wrong imo. At least have him go down fighting.

Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.

They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.

solideagle64d ago

they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.

Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted

Relientk7764d ago

Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
