Lastly, I want to finish with the word 'Pulse'. (Image credit: Sony) PS5 Pulse 3D headset - what else can we expect? This is incredibly exciting and if 3D audio becomes the standard in PS5 games, and next-gen more broadly, then this will be a true treat. You'd begin to have this feeling of real presence inside the virtual world of the game", he said, going on to describe how 3D audio will make players feel like "you're actually there". "At some point, your brain would take a leap. He describes it by saying that ".audio had to be part of the console, it couldn't be a peripheral".Īs well as the directional detail that 3D audio will bring - Cerny said 3D audio will allow us to identify exactly where enemies are, rather than just which side or direction from our position they are - it will also heighten the immersion in games through audio to levels never before experienced. This integration means it will harbor great power directly from the machine and can dedicate all of that oomph into 3D audio. The "tempest engine" is based on AMD's GPU technology, and, in layman's terms, is integrated into the PS5's hardware architecture and is purely dedicated to audio. Getting back to actual facts and what to look forward to, 3D audio was one of Mark Cerny's big points in his hardware deep-dive on the PS5 specs (opens in new tab) where he revealed the Tempest 3D Audio Tech. Among other games like God of War and Red Dead Redemption 2, The Last of Us Part II recognized the 3D audio capability of my Platinum and automatically selected that as the audio setup, so I'd add that game to the list too (Naughty Dog themselves previously said that the future was big for 3D Audio and they can't wait to use it more, so I'd bet that the almost nailed-on PS5 version of The Last of Us Part II will feature it). For example, at the beginning of Uncharted 4 while in Nate's attic, you can hear Elena shout from what genuinely feels like downstairs - as well as from your left or right, generally. Here, the alluring but often elusive 3D audio delivered even more crisp, positional sound from every angle. There are a handful of games to use this enhancement - an audio design that goes beyond surround sound and enables audio to come at you from up and down as well as around you - and the most spectacular was Uncharted 4. Sony has dabbled with the 3D audio before in its Platinum headset but it never really took off. There have been plenty of times where my wife's phone conversation in the kitchen can be heard clearly by my teammates when I'm using my Platinum headset, so cutting that out to offer an enclosed audio experience, in both directions, would be an advancement, particularly with the noise-canceling aspect. it otherwise mutes itself to ensure no background noise from your room or house comes through to your teammates. On the note of microphones, though, I'm also hoping that the speech microphones will be the variety that we often see on Razer headsets (opens in new tab): the type that only picks up noise and your speech when you are speaking directly into it.
