[citation][nom]mrpijey[/nom]Then why not satisfy both teams then? Provide both MP3 and FLAC/OGG versions then and show that they are aware that there's a difference in audio quality. I enjoy music much as the next guy but I also enjoy it in quality. Neither FLAC or OGG are new techs either.@alidan: They don't need to reinvent the wheel every time, they just need to invent... something. When was the last time you saw a decent title from Epic? With todays tech, and them sitting on one of the very best 3D engines in the world they clearly should be able to churn out a title worthy of their legacy.[/citation]
and what would do this?
the single player fps game is almost dead, there are rare ones, maybe once a year, that are built for single player and multiplayer is an after though, or non existent.
multiplayer fps you cant make everyone happy, and from what i see, you dont get the unreal tournament style fpses anymore, you get a military shooter a, military shooter b, and everything else has a VERY small community, and very little give anything new a chance, or they screw up the transition from closed to open beta (really its the full release, but they still call it beta)
i believe that the first fps that REALLY goes balls out with destruction and world shaping will be the one to set up what future fps games can do...
i can see it even making a normal military fps interesting.
and unreal engine... i have problems with calling it the best, but that's just me because i can tell when its an unreal engine game from screen shots, there are a few i wouldn't know if i wasn't told, but those are rare.
[citation][nom]chewy1963[/nom]Exactly the same could be said for the PC game market... I play both console and PC games but face it... PC gamers are to video games what audiophiles are for sound reproduction. A niche market. Wasn't so 20 years ago when Epic got it's start. They are just following the money like any other company. Now, bring on the flame![/citation]
play a game with bad audio and play one with great. i have stero headphones, hd555, play blacklight retribution, holy crap if that isnt some of the best audio i have ever heard, it makes going back to other games hard, because they do it right.
now as for flac and ogg, i would like them, but i dont care, 320 mp3 is good enough for free, but i would never pay for it, that said, i would really never pay for any of those songs...
lastly, the only people who dont care about good audio never heard good audio... its kind od sad to me that people are ok with the current quality of mp3 players, especially coming off of cds and great sound systems they had everywhere back in the late 80's early 90's
