What game stands out as having truly great sound? Obviously anything by DICE like Battlefield is up there. Looking to test out a 5.1 set up.

Prey had great sound IMO.

Is this as in the recent reboot? I agree there.

Never played the original though!

This, it's just got such a huge amount of detail to it, even the planets have sounds pulled direct from Nasa or something and that system honk is epic when you have the volume turned up, it's a pity they changed the high wake jump sound from beta though, that was nice and heavy before.

I just wish I understood the game

have tried a few times! May dip back in to hear it though

What do you mean by understand it? The point of it or just the game mechanics? Plenty of help to be had by the community

That's cool and I appreciate that. I remember taking part in the thread when it first launched. I just never felt like I made any progress or understood how to do so.

I had the basic controls down etc that wasnt a problem but I just never grasped how to make serious wedge and actually move on to bigger/better ships etc. I should replay it as I imagine its come quite far

I'll add the Remedys Control has pretty awesome sound. You get an ability to pick up and throw objects like the gravity gun in half life. If the object is behind you, the sound comes whizzing from behind and past your ear to Jesse's hand. Really effective.
