I have found it difficult to find any solid information on this, so I figured I would ask:
What's the official word on 5.1 surround sound support?
It's a no-brainer these days to support 5.1 in FPS games and even a requirement for development on aging hardware like Xbox360, but I really thought it would have been implemented by now, with it being so close to launch.
A3D was awesome in NS1, but that was just quadrophonic; I wanna hear me some onos coming down a dark corridor in 5.1!
Also, even if you don't own surround sound speakers, there's a plethora of headphones and sound card algorithms available that simulate surround sound in 2 speaker headphones with astonishing accuracy.
