It gives us the tools we need to fully immerse the player in our gaming worlds. The list of best-selling 3D games supporting Creative's Environmental Audio Platform continues to grow rapidly. Some of the hot new titles that offer support for EAX include Blizzard Entertainment's Diablo II, Electronic Arts' Need for Speed Hot Pursuit, Interplay's Descent 3, 3DO's Might and Magic VII and Bullfrog Productions' Dungeon Keeper 2. EAX's reverberation effects are instrumental in bringing our game environments to life. The realism is startling.
Players can sense the changes as they travel through the game's crypts and taverns.
In a recent licensing agreement, Microsoft announced plans to incorporate EAX effects into its next version of the Microsoft DirectX operating system. It means that future versions of DirectX will have an acceptable software fallback for Environmental Audio. This level of support will, in turn, encourage even more developers to incorporate Environmental Audio in their games.
