Any games featuring realtime DD5.1?

It adds so much to DVDs, and it would do the same for games.  Do any PS2 game feature it?

NHL 2002 and SSX Tricky are the only two games available on PS2 which supports realtime DTS and not Dolby Digital. The only console on market today with realtime Dolby Digital is XBOX because it has built-in Dolby encoder. There are more games for PS2 coming in DTS 5.1 from EA. The only thing that PS2 can do DD5.1 is in cutscenes like eg. The Bouncer and MGS2, it sounds just AWESOME!!! There are games like Soul Reaver2 and ExtremeG3 which supports Dolby Surround, at least if developers use that technique it\'s damn good becuse Dolby format has very tight bass compare to DTS. Sure DTS sounds very clear but it lacks some bass because of weak LFE channel compare to tight and heart shaking bass that DD offers. I hope all future titles supports DTS in PS2 or DD5.1 in cutscenes and Dolby Surround in realtime. It would be cool if Sony or Dolby releases some kind of upgrade which would support realtime DD5.1, even if that thing cost $100 i\'ll just get it. Sound is soul of movies and it gives feeling to game, imagine playing an FPS game with 5.1 support you could hear if someone is at your back or at your blind spot, you could not see but you can hear and thats like using your sense, "the sense of hearing" that would be so coool.

EA has found a way to make it 5.1 in gameplay.  XBOX is not the only one that has it.

Well guys that\'s what i meant realtime DTS 5.1 but not realtime DD5.1 there\'s a difference between these two sound fromats if you read my post u will understand what i meant. DTS 5.1 is great but Dolby "DIGITAL" 5.1 is great and little more because the .1 channel that is the Subwoofer sounds much better in DD than in DTS and that\'s what i like BASS.

NHL 2002 is in realtime DTS 5.1 not in realtime Dolby Digital, the only Dolby format it uses is Dolby Surround Pro Logic which is three channel that is because Rear channels are matrixed to give surround feel to it that\'s how Pro Logic works. If u don\'t believe check out the press releases on http://www.dtsonline.com about EA\'s NHL 2002 and technical detail for Dolby Pro Logic on http://www.dolby.com

Ea has found a way. It requires the correct connections. They are selling it to other companies.

Dude, cut it already. DTS is a digital 5 + 1 format and is generally accepted as slightly better than DD5.1.

DTS 5.1 is used in EA games for PS2. DTS has nothing to do with Dolby Pro Logic which is inferior to both DD5.1 and DTS 5.1

well Marconelly, thanks for clearing up everything but NHL 2002 DOES support Dolby Pro Logic as well as DTS, stereo and mono in sound options and i know dude that pro logic is inferior to both DD5.1 and DTS5.1 also i personally like Dolby Digital in movies and DTS in some specific ones like the original Jurrassic Park :D

Just to clear up the tech-stuff a bit...

1. dts is better than DD (not so much compressed)
2. NHL 2002 and SSX Tricky sounding just great with dts
3. SH2s S-Sound is just another way round paying Dolby for it´s Surround Sound... it´s the same thing with another name ! ...it´s not 5.1 and not digital, but just some new kind of Surround Sound.
