Next-gen consoles like the PlayStation 3 make considerable inroads into improving what goes into your ears. The PS3 will be able to run up to 512 different voices, and apply different sound layers onto them depending on what the developer wishes. More voices means more concurrent sounds--like background music, cars screeching, crashing, guns shooting, and people talking. More layers means more ways to filter the sound. For example, the developer can change the sound of a gunshot to fit into a cave-like environment. The PS3 will support up to eight channels of audio, or 7.1, running at 96KBs per channel. Reduced-channel formats, like Dolby Digital 5.1, will have higher bit-rate audio streams. We've had 5.1 surround sound since the last generation of games, but expect more games to take advantage of the virtualization features with better sound placement.

Once again, its not about how large the audio files are, the hertz its in, or the compression style. Its all about the overall packaging and presentation. EAX adds extra reverb, simulates evnrioments, and overall creates extra quality you WON'T find on any console.
Sorry but no..The higher the audio bitrates, the better the quality of the audio..
High Bitrate audio like that found on SOME PS3 games can't be passed through optical or coaxial, it only works thru HDMI
You don't get it do you? Its not about high crispy and clear or high fidelity the audio is, its about overall PRESENTATION. Thats what EAX is for. EAX isn't some codec or compression style, its software acceleration that adds reverb and simuilated enviroments you CAN'T get on consoles. End of story.
OMG! EAX can do 128 voices!! Watch out!! LALAMLAMA...Please..That aint ****

[QUOTE="Polaris_choice"]If you running it at 35 fps you are doing it with DX9 effects gimped resolution and lowering the shadows. And dont blabber about how I dont know what im talkin about my freinds rig stomps yours and yes ive played it over there. He maxes the demo at 1600x1200 and hes getting on average 25 fps with DX10 effects. Also do you evne own a PS3? A gunshot coming off a surriound system can make the whole house shake and make your neighbors call the police stop acting like your getting crap sound you dont evne own the system . If you cant accurtatley compare the two then why comment?Vandalvideo
Of course I lowered the shadows. They don't add a great deal of graphical fidelity to begin with. I was playing at 720P because thats what my monitor is native in. I really don't feel the need to get in an e-peen contest. Your friend is clearly bad at computers. With my modest rig I'm able to get stable frames per second easily on high. Do you even play PC games? Just because something is loud doesn't make it GOOD. EAX is alla bout packacing and quality. It dwarfs PS3 sound easily. And yes, I owned the system.
Not every PS3 game has uncompressed audio. And i seriously doubt you have heard a PS3 game with uncompressed audio hooked up to a 5.1 or 7.1 Home Theater via HDMI
[QUOTE="Polaris_choice"]On a 8800gtx it gets 25 fps on high settings . On DX9 it runs on med settings and on med settings it doesnt look better then any console game annoucned thats a freaking joke especially when it runs like a dam slide show. And no 7.1 Uncompressed Audio sounds absoutley flawless do you own a PS3? Its as pure as it gets EAX adds extra effects um you dont need it when you have fully uncompressed sound. Regardless bash on Uncharted all you want I saw the new trailer and it looks simply amazing . It has the best animations ive ever seen in a game and some of the most realistic water around the whole thing looks absotley stunning. Vandalvideo
That convoluted poor attempt at a rebuttal just shows how little you know about what yo're saying. I'm getting a constant 35 FPS on high and my rig is: 7900GS 2 GIGS DDR2 and PENTIUM D 945 3.2 dual core. Its a fairly modest rig as well. It only takes al ittle tweaking. And once again, sound isn't about how crisp it is, its about the overall presentation and package. YOu can have high fidelity, uncompressed crap all day, its still crap. EAX adds extra umph to the sound you just don't get on consoles.

[QUOTE="Vandalvideo"][QUOTE="m3Boarder32"]Nope, you're wrong! Nerdmans #'s are a 2 year period, not 1 year ;)Vandalvideo
No, I'm right. Nerdman's numbers are higher than 58. I took a guess judging by how many of the games came out last year, and came about with an updated number off of a probability model.
You are still wrong dude...You said 58 AA games in one year...It's 68 in 2 years...Do you really think 58 are from this year, and 10 are from last year?
I'm still right dude. Nerdman's numbers were from quite a few months ago. Since then we've had an innumerable ammount of titles that have been released.
He edited his 1st post with the totals 3 days ago genius...
