Session Description
Now that Next Gen is Current Gen, Jason discusses what it has given both us and the end user. He looks at how much potential is still left untapped and how - or if - it is possible to truely push the boundaries of audio with the current methods of game development.

- What is it that developers expected from next gen audio capabilities, has it been delivered and if so, where do we go next?
- How do the tools and methods used within the games industry compare to the pro audio market, and what could we learn from each other?

Coming from a unique perspective of having helped many developers integrate audio into games, Jason knows how many of the titles use audio to enhance the gaming experience and discusses the differences between developers attitudes towards the importance of audio.
