something like what was explained by cerny during the PS5 deep dive

“Maybe you’ll be sending us a photo of your ear and we’ll choose a neural network to pick the closest HRTF to pick from our library,” Cerny suggested. “Maybe you’ll be sending us a video of your ear and your head and we’ll make a 3D model of them and synthesize the HRTF. Maybe you’ll play an audio game to tune your HRTF. We’ll be subtly changing it as you play and home in on the HRTF that gives you the highest score, meaning it matches you the best.”

PS5: Sony Could Ask You for Pictures of Your Ears to Provide Better Audio - IGN

The PS5 could require pictures of your ears to create the perfect 3D audio setting for every player.

Doesn't surprise me, COD is basically a yearly subscription at this point. Now that the full games are just DLC for another game, now you can buy DLC for your DLC.

Whats the deal with the Cerny posts from March?

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Well yeah, embody doesn't belong to activision, they sell this software themselves, same for cp77 and ff14, the consoles still have their own 3d audii solutions.

 

[mitch1971]

COD 7 in mono. Pony up to use both your ears, bitches!

 

[chakadave]

Can anyone tell the difference? I'd bet most can't.

Then don't use Embody and just use the console profile that's available. It's clear they're trying to get a cut from the user with mtx.

It's a meme based on the audio demo for playstation that Cerny did, about measuring each persons ears to get the most perfect sound possible for each individual.

 

[DoubleClutch]

Shameful but not surprising.

I’ll just stick to good old standard 7.1 LPCM.

 

[twilo99]

Just do whatever he does and you will have solid in game audio

It's makes zero sense though. This is acti/xbox and nothing to do with Sony.

I bet many people can.
When I upgraded my shitty headphones to a good one, the change it made in playing CS 1.6 back in the day was insane.

and that tech was zillion years ago.

 

[Gonzito]

I miss the old call of duty days. What a joke this franchise has become

 

[Sushi_Combo]

Ps5 owners win again.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Then don't use Embody.

Microsoft has to get that $70 billion back somehow.

That is different. This is personalized spatial audio. You still get a "universal" spatial audio option without paying. That is why they are sending in their ear pics.

 

[mitch1971]

Maybe the point is : why pay for it when you get similar on the console for free.

Cerny said in the PS5 deep dive that you can send him pictures of your ears to make a personalized audio profile like the one on BO6

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Xbox charging for Atmos was ridiculous to start with. This is crazy.

How much is it? and is it a one time purchase or subscription? ha

 

[adamsapple]

FYI, other games have also done this.

eg Final Fantasy 14.

These dedicated spatial audio profiles are made by a third party company, not the games developers.

Immerse Gamepack FFXIV Edition

Immerse Gamepack FFXIV Edition allows you to hear every sound, from critical boss mechanics to player SFX, with precise 360 spatial audio. Try it free for 2 weeks! Windows PC only.

having to pay for better audio for each game, what's next paying for HQ textures?

I have to pay to hear better? This is nickel and dimming on a whole different level

Dolby Atmos for 20 dollars is an amazing deal, and you can still use that (or DTX which is also available on Xbox).

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

That 4k is going to cost you $4k, that's just how this works.

 

[adamsapple]

It's a specific company that does this, they have their own patents I guess.

Going by the Cyberpunk and FF14 packages, this will probably be 17 queen bucks (GBP).

 

[GymWolf]

Next they are gonna take a page from photoshop's book and make you pay for colors.

Spoiler

 

[M1chl]

So this Dolby Atmos or is it something else, like that you pay for sound pack? If so, that's fucking retarded, hope its not a mono on GamePass...

 

[KevinK15]

Gaming is getting ridiculous.

 

[rodrigolfp]

Like people do with those $10 upgrades for some remasters.

This is akin to paying for room correction software (Dirac, Audyssey, Sonarworks, etc).

Your receiver will still sound fantastic without it.

I was about to write exactly that. As I was getting ready to criticize Microsoft, I clicked on the mentioned site and realized the situation was different. The first post should be adjusted accordingly.

Don't worry guys, we won’t run out of material to criticize Microsoft for.

No you have to pay to get a custom sound profile. instead of using the universal one. This is not upgrading the sound it is just upgrading the spatial sound to your own ears. It doesn't change quality or add anything. Again I doubt most epeople can even tell from a universal vs custom.

haven't played COD since MW2.

This is overreacting.

 

[b0uncyfr0]

Surely this can be modded in or 'unlocked' by third parties. That kills the 'online' component though.

Last time i played a COD game were MW1&2 remastered campaigns.
I don't feel sorry for people that still play this s*.

Stop bringing facts into a COD and MS bash party

 

[SmurfMustard]

This sentence rings true for another thread: "The average poster knows shit about fuck."

You can really tell the Bozos that start typing before finish reading the first sentence.

If you really need a personalized audio profile then pony up.
No one really needs this.

So, the PS5 is essentially the best to play after all? Because Tmepest and individual profiler are system-wide.

[ABK exec 1] So, I've never been very public about this, but I really have a thing for earlobes...
[ABK exec 2] Hey no worries, we all have our kinks! I like to lick the tears of our fans that actually preorder our games! They're delicious!
[ABK exec 1] So glad we're on the same page! So, how would we get a ton of pictures of various earlobes?
[ABK exec 2] We'll just tell them to send us a pic, then for a fee we send them a file that amounts to nothing, and say they can hear better all that 3D stuff! The best thing is, since they've paid for it, they'll insist it's better! It's like in that story with the emperor and shit, but you get to skip to the ending!
[ABK exec 1] Brilliant! I can't wait! In the meantime, I may get into those tears, give me a little taste?

 

[MikeM]

Can anyone tell the difference? I'd bet most can't.

My spatial audio awareness is far better on PS5 than PC. This is comparing the same game with identical settings.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Gotta pay that $69 billion somehow.

 

[Shake Your Rump]

This is even worse than it sounds. You don’t just pay once to unlock the feature. You must pay a subscription.
