Yesterday I was gonna have a bunch of friends over to watch some movies and show them what low bass can add to some movies. I had a couple of friends that arrived early and they started messing around with the ps3. They started playing ninja gaiden sigma. When the fighting started it just felt like a earthquake

. I don't know how low it goes but its a pretty cool effect

. Ive been to busy re watching all my movies to feel what low bass surprises I didn't experience before. I didn't think video games had low bass like that. Is there anymore video games with low bass? How low is the bass in Ninja gaiden sigma?

FYI If you don't own the game i think the demo is available for free so you can see how low it goes.

Gears of war for XBOX 360 has got some great deep bass

I would like to know the answer to this. Not just speculation. Someone should email several of the game developers and ask them specifically about the depth of the low-end content present in their different games.

I suspect that it is not as low as many may think it is.

I would disagree with the last part. A nuclear explosion in Crysis got my RL-P18 moving, as well as the house.

I had a similar experience realizing how much effort was put into the sound on video games. I still remember the first time I plugged in my PS2 with a optical cable instead of the standard RCA cables. Such a wonderful experience.

And I agree with the above poster that Gears of War has amazing sound (though my neighbors disagree at night

)

I believe I was playing Halo 1 (one of the alien ship levels) through my Paradigm 60's (so no sub, but decent extension) and the whole room was engulfed in bass from the background hum the ship levels always have. I felt like I was drowing in a bass pool. My ears were being tormented. Not deep bass, not loud bass, but it felt like me and my wife were being physically attacked with sound. It was neat but very disorienting and annoying.

I'm sure it was a perfect trifecta of room shape, volume, and where we were sitting (next to the wall on the couch). We had to turn the bass knob almost off to stand listening to it!

So not really an answer to your question, just a neat little story

I just played the Battlefield: Bad Company demo, and there's a part where there are bombs raining down on you from on top of a hill, and if one landed next to you, it made a nice boom.

Alien VS Predator has low bass and sub bass deep rumble, thou I haven’t bothered to upload it my other computer as I like to keep the hard-drive free because of MB space and the graphic card that I have is pants. I’m not really into gaming on my pc anymore I do have simple game called Asteroids and that has few lows thou not as deep or low as AVP.

Pulling the trigger on the chainsaw machine gun in Gears of War through two JL Audio Fathom 113's is pretty awesome.

I believe Resistance for PS3 has some 20 Hz bass in the begining of the first level.

Condemned 2 also has deep, throbbing bass for that added "scare" factor.

GRID has some really deep whoosh effects throughout the menu system. The crashes are crazy deep also.

Drake's Fortune. Better plot and acting (voice+animation) than most hollywood movies. Oh! Some cool LFE as well.

I am assuming this is clever sarcasm. If not......................

I've played all the above games ... IMO the deepest bass is in the Xbox360 Arcade game Geometry Wars ... I asked for a plot some 3 years ago when the game came out ...

shoot and blow up a "black hole" in the game ... it would seem like very low bass (high teens maybe) coupled with some upper 20hz ... I'm running 2 SVS PC+ 16-46s with a slight house curve ... the explosions of the blackholes have similar characteristics to the speech of the machines in the end of Matrix 3
