Wow, just::.. it's astonishing. With all those capabilities at its disposal... Does it mean that they could create a 3D audio engine for Shape alone after the console is launched? -sometimes afterwards- Or just in my dreams, maybe?
XpiderMX, surely it sounds great and you piqued my curiosity. I have already watched the video you shared though and I even gotten further sharing it twice in two different threads.
That's really the only answer I'm interested in hearing. From the looks of it, it sounds like a very powerful processor for current gen audio. That's great but...that's not what I really want, I'm more interested in quality than speed. I'm still pining for a return to the days of real 3D sound, full blown HRTFs and wavetracing reverb. I'm totally ready to give up graphics for better audio...but that's not up to me.
If SHAPE can't do what AMDs DSP can do, and real 3D audio is still too expensive to execute on the CPU or GPU, or devs get lazy and use only what SHAPE is capable of...then however powerful it may be, it's still a disappointment in my eyes.
