Prototype for Xbox 360 to Debut DTS Neural Surround

Activision's June 16 release of Prototype for Xbox 360 will be the first game out of the gate with DTS Neural Surround. No mention of whether the PS3 or PC version of Prototype are being considered for Neural Surround. Future yet-to-be-revealed games for Xbox 360, PS3, Wii and the PC are already in development to support the new format...

May I ask why none of the other versions have this?

KingKionic 5524d ago

i thought the same thing... perhaps they worked on it first on xbox 360?

If you read the article you will see that apparently, they believe Prototype is 360 exclusive, when it's not. They don't even mention the PS3 and PC versions.

TMRBac5524d ago

Verbiage was revised to be more clear. Only the 360 version is mentioned for including Neural Surround. DTS said nothing about Prototype on PS3 or PC getting the audio.

IdleLeeSiuLung5524d ago

I was under the impression that PS3 had DTS audio for games as well and not just Blu-Ray. I guess not....

i saw that but still it just werid.

Johnny Rotten5524d ago (Edited 5524d ago )

isn't this the first game on the 360 with 7.1?

this converts 5.1 to a 7.1 channel sound, the PS3 wouldn't need this since it already does 7.1 out of the box (I'm just guessing that's why Sony don't need it).

here's the full explanation from the DTS website with parts of the quote this website took it from. http://www.dts.com/Corporat...

MazzingerZ5524d ago (Edited 5524d ago )

Yes, PS3 has HDMI 1.3 while the X360 HDMI 1.1 that's the key to know what type of DTS sound they can or can't support

PS3 supports DTS-HD Master Audio, and other type of audio, eveything uncompressed so this being news for the PS3 would be silly that's why they only mentio the X360 which will get a compressed version of the audio anyway...this news wouldn't be that "great" if they had included what the PS3 is capable today reg. that matter.

ar5524d ago

Actually HDMI 1.1 does support 7.1 LPCM. Don't know if the rest of the 360 does tho.

d3vad5524d ago

I believe Lair has discrete 7.1 surround sound, if not, my bad.

Johnny Rotten5524d ago (Edited 5524d ago )

Killzone is 7.1,

edit: I could be wrong but I think it's the only game that supports it. MGS4 doesn't.

PotNoodle5524d ago

As is MGS4..

Infact, there are quite a few PS3 games that are - just not many people have 7.1 systems so it isn't shouted about yet.

xbollox5524d ago

hilarious acronym: "Neural THX" for what's basically a cheapo compressed 7.1

nothing beats uncompressed PCM over hdmi

kai_h5524d ago

A list of games on the PS3 that do and do not have 7.1 surround (discrete, not matrixed, I believe). According to the list, there are 70 games with 7.1 surround, eight of them being THX certified. Thirteen, of them are PSN games as well.

Well i believe that soon a Prototype vs Infamous discussion its going to be unleashed.

Cajun Chicken5524d ago

Yeah, you could say that, but it would be pointless. Both games are playable on PS3 not 360, so best of both worlds is what I say.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos15d ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto15d ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8815d ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies14d ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.

Six Activision Games I’d Like to See Revived Under Microsoft

As the world reels from the shockwaves of the seismic news that Microsoft is acquiring the proverbial swamp of the video-game landscape, Activision Blizzard King, it only seems natural that our minds should now shift towards what the fallout will be for presumably years if not decades to come.

MadLad838d ago

Another Prototype would be awesome.

As for Singularity, I don't necessarily need a sequel, I just want to see Raven be able to flex their creative muscle again; not just be relegated to assisting with CoD. A lot of the old guard is still with the company.

That's part of what I'm hoping to see come from this acquisition. Revive teams like Vicarious Visions and Ravem to actually allow them to work on their own new projects again.

Crows90838d ago

As great as that would be the deal wont finalize until end of fiscal year 2023. Until after that date MS wont really have a say as to where resources will be spent. So we wont realistically see anything until perhaps 2026 or later.

LWOGaming837d ago

I think that’s a point that so many people are missing. Things will not change this year or next year at all. Maybe some changes might be apparent in 2024 but 2025/2026 is a good estimate of when things will really start happening. And I don’t think we will see as big a set of changes as some are suggesting.

TallDarknWavy838d ago

Those teams having not worked on anything, the employees find jobs at other companies, they don't just remain unemployed till someone at the publisher decides to revive the team, they need to eat lol

That said, this list of games makes me unexcited for anything outside of CoD that Activision has to offer. All games are in stale genres, like Guitar Hero, Simpsons Hit and Run, these are long surpassed genres that are going to be difficult to revive.

gamer7804838d ago

I want to see new IPs. Not a bunch of forced renovations of old franchises.

Gamer75838d ago

Why not a combination of both

gamer7804838d ago

@gamer75 if it is a combination it has to have my seal of approval. Such as a new Warcraft game or a new Warcraft mmo, or an action game based off the night elves orcs and humans if it’s a new IP. I’ll let you know after I talk with Microsoft

King_Noctis838d ago

Man I’ve been waiting for Protoype since the last one. Protoype could seriously be MS’ answer to Infamous (freaking loved that game as well, hope Sony make a new one soon).

porkChop838d ago

I'd love to see Raven take another crack at Heretic and Hexen.

MadLad837d ago

That's one I see being tossed around a lot to bring back, even if not from Raven themselves.

Put so many hours into those games over the years.

I'd like to see Activision get the Transformers license again and continue the War and Fall of Cybertron games. the movie games were crap and the game that combined both movie and Fall and War of Cybertron sucked a new Prototype would also be good as well.

jaymacx837d ago

You deserve a 1000 likes haha 😂. It’s a shame High Moon didn’t get to continue making Transformers. If they got a decent budget i think most of us TF fans would be excited.

wolf581837d ago (Edited 837d ago )

Ms bought Activision and everybody dancing for what? For cod? Ms want to atleast earn some money Back from those 70 billion dollars.... The only thing they count on is more gamepass subscribers via Activision cod, diablo and over watch 2 1st Day free at gamepass. If they decide to make them exclusive to xbox they Will lose profit from ps4 and 5 sales. As For a New ip or an existing ip like over watch 3,diablo 5 or anything else like a New transformers Dont you think that developers need at least 3 years to Do something decent?
Anyway my opinion is that ms want to make videogaming Just a subscription a la netflix and that ps5 will beat xboxsx in sales like ps4 beat xbox and xbox one x..... All the money ms spending It Will defentily make more gamepass subscribers as for games we all must wait at least 3 more years... And thats why ps5 will get ahead in sales they have more AAA in the pipeline already plus lets see their answer for gamepass... P. S i Dont support subscriptions from neither company and i didnt buy switch plus for n64. If they give me the option to buy n64 games then yes i Will buy them but i am not paying for a rental.

Re-imagining of River Raid and the original adventurer Pitfall. Oh Zork is also a great game.
