Definitely interesting, but i feel like people could do bad things with this

I think this would help a lot of deaf gamers.

my motherboard has this but i've never used it, i might try it out idk

Seems oddly similar to Organner's Hardware Hack...

In the context of TF2 this is cheating.

Granted TF2 does have closed captioning which tells you graphically when someone makes a medic call or the medic has a fake uber or otherwise, but that gives no directional information. Leaving the player to use their aural acuity to pin point where someone is located. However hearing alone doesn't automatically give you depth/distance as easily as this program does.

As was said in the video this software can also be tuned for specific weapons, which could potentially render sticky traps, roamer bombs, spy uncloaking,hidden but spun up heavies, and round the corner kritzkrieg ineffective.

The simple fact of the matter is that even though people can buy audiophile multi hundred dollar headphones, visual information at least for humans is much easier and faster to process and make meaningfull than audio.

I wonder how valve will feel about this. feels like borderline cheating with some of the features loljk listed.

edit: i just got home and watched the video, and holy crap if the leagues don't ban this i'll be stunned.

ESEA client will no doubt block it/ban for it. This is basically cheating.

He even laughed when the other dude said this could be implemented to help deaf gamers.

But will Cevo client?

If this doesn't get banned CS might get some more deaf players, since the game is a little hard without sound

do you even know what youre talking about?
also more power to you idk why this would be banned, especially in tf2???

The Smokey Yunick is me is quite pleased with this.

That being said, it probably should be regulated to where only players with doctors notes can utilize it to even the playing field. Otherwise everybody will have to run it eventually.

lol forged doctors notes #esports

seriously though do you want esea all up in your medical business just cause you're deaf???

not the first time asus has done something like this

pretty funny that they release these drivers while simultaneously sponsoring large competitive gaming competitions via ROG
