In der neuen Ausgabe von Savegame, eurem monatlichen Speicherstand zum Hören, werfen Johannes und Max einen Blick auf die wichtigsten Themen des Gaming-Monats März.Wirklich alles so schlimm dank DLSS 5?Im Fokus steht die kontrovers diskutierte neue Grafiktechnologie von Nvidia: DLSS 5 sorgt nicht nur für technische Fortschritte, sondern auch für hitzige Debatten rund um KI-Einsatz und Bildmanipulation. Wie viel „echtes“ Spiel steckt noch im finalen Bild – und wo beginnt künstliche Veränderung?Wie stark beeinflussen Reviews das Gaming-Geschehen?Außerdem sprechen die beiden über Crimson Desert, das trotz solider Verkaufszahlen unter schwankenden Bewertungen leidet. Wie wichtig ist überhaupt die Rolle von Reviews innerhalb der Gaming-Branche?Wie schlecht geht es Epic Games wirklich?Ein weiterer Themenblock widmet sich den jüngsten Entlassungen bei Epic Games sowie den Eindrücken von der Game Developers Conference 2026, bei der vor allem KI eine zentrale Rolle spielte – zumindest abseits der tatsächlich gezeigten Spiele.Es gibt also wieder jede Menge Diskussionsstoff, den wir euch unbedingt für eure Ohren empfehlen.Schaut gerne auf www.pixelpolygoneplauderei.de vorbei. Wenn euch die Episode gefallen hat, sagt es uns in den Kommentaren auch auf Spotify, bei Discord, auf Threads und Instagram oder hinterlasst eine Bewertung bei iTunes & Spotify.

Einen Tag nach der Game Developers Conference in San Francisco hat Roland natürlich viele Storys zum Treffen von Spieldesignern aus aller Welt dabei. Und er erklärt: Was ist Alt.Ctrl? Welche Sessions waren der Hit? Worum geht es bei den GDC Nights? Und wie sieht die Verpflegung im Moscone Center aus? Noch mehr Geschichten zum „Festival of Gaming“ findet ihr hier, hier, hier, hier, hier und hier. Nach 2016 und 2019 gab es im März leider keinen Nachfolger von „The Division 2“ – Zeit, wenigstens die passende Platin-Trophäe im Hause Austinat ins Regal zu stellen. Platin-Papst Jürgen fehlt dazu in „Astro Bot“ noch genau eine knifflige Trophäe. Abregung verspricht im Hause Hüsam dann „Michael Jackson: The Experience“, während Roland in „Ghost Recon: Wildlands“ zehn durch einen Ubisoft-Serverabsturz unverteilten Trophäen in Bolivien nachspürt. Als nächstes hat Roland „Final Fantasy 14: A Realm Reborn“ auf der PS5 ins Auge gefasst – und liebäugelt mit dem Überraschungshit „ARC Raiders“. Jürgen hat derweil beim Ocean-Buch-Kickstarter mitgemacht und Updates zu „Let’s Dance“ und „DSDS“ im Gepäck. Große Freude bei Roland: Die vierte Staffel von „The Orville“ ist drehbuchseitig fertig. Großer Kummer bei Jürgen: Eine neue „Buffy“-Staffel fällt ins Wasser. Immerhin hat er jetzt die Musical-Folge gesehen – und „Zoomania“, auch schon wieder ein Jahrzehnt alt. Dann gibt es noch eine spektakuläre Premiere: Roland chattet während der Aufnahme mit dem Amazon-Kundendienst, weil ein Buch beim Versand arg zerdeppert wurde. Außerdem berichtet er über den Start von Tim und Struppi bei Lego, leider preislich total inakzeptabel. Spannend hingegen die „Tintin“-Lizenzausgabe aus der Schweiz. (Aufgenommen am 15. März 2026)

We're back from GDC and I've got A LOT to unpack. This week on Spawn On Me. I'm diving deep into everything that had the internet buzzing coming out of the Game Developers Conference.First up: Project Helix. Xbox finally confirmed the name, the hardware direction, and what their partnership with AMD really means for the future — FSR Next, machine learning integration, a custom AMD SOC, and yes… it IS a console.Then I get into the DLSS 5 controversy that has the gaming community split right down the middle. Is NVIDIA's latest AI upscaling tech a game-changer or a line that shouldn't have been crossed? Plus — GDC sleeper hit alert. I got hands-on with a 90's nostalgia brawler that nobody saw coming, and it might be one of the most exciting indie games of the year. Think Double Dragon meets Scott Pilgrim with Demolition Manenergy. THIS EPISODE IS SPONSORED BY GB STUDIO CENTRAL MAGAZINE!Have you ever wanted to make your OWN Game Boy game?

En este Rejugando 294 abrimos el programa repasando actualidad, análisis y cultura del videojuego con uno de los debates tecnológicos más potentes de los últimos meses y con un regreso muy esperado para los fans del terror. Todo, como siempre, videojuegos desde todos los ángulos. Xbox prepara su nueva consola: Project Helix y el futuro del ecosistema Arrancamos con el gran tema de la semana: lo presentado en la Game Developers Conference sobre el futuro de Microsoft y su ecosistema Xbox. La compañía ha confirmado detalles de Project Elix, una nueva plataforma que rompe el concepto tradicional de consola y apuesta por una integración total entre PC y consola. Unificación real entre Xbox y Windows para eliminar la barrera entre jugar en consola o PC. Hardware desarrollado junto a AMD con foco en ray tracing avanzado, renderizado neuronal e inteligencia artificial para generar frames y optimizar texturas. Posible compatibilidad con tiendas externas como Steam o incluso Epic Games. Retrocompatibilidad total con las cuatro generaciones de Xbox. Dev kits previstos para principios de 2027 y lanzamiento estimado entre finales de 2028. Analizamos qué supone este cambio: ¿una consola… o un PC de ultra gama alta disfrazado de consola? También debatimos cómo esto puede cambiar el desarrollo de videojuegos y reducir los tiempos de adaptación para estudios. Sony, PC y el nuevo campo de batalla A raíz de este movimiento de Microsoft comentamos otro tema clave: la relación entre Sony y el mercado de PC. Las últimas informaciones apuntan a que PlayStation podría reducir su apuesta por lanzar juegos en PC, en parte para proteger el valor de su ecosistema frente a plataformas como Valve. Reflexionamos sobre el nuevo tablero del sector: Xbox apostando por el ecosistema abierto. PlayStation defendiendo el valor de sus exclusivos. Y Nintendo jugando, como siempre, su propia partida. Análisis: vuelve el terror con Fatal Frame 2 Crimson Butterfly de Koei Tecmo Nuestra querida Lydia Muñoz trae el análisis del remake de Fatal Frame II: Crimson Butterfly, uno de los survival horror más influyentes del género. Repasamos qué trae esta nueva versión: Remake completo del clásico lanzado originalmente en PS2. Sistema de combate basado en la Camera Obscura, fotografiando fantasmas para derrotarlos. Nuevas mecánicas como esquiva, zoom y filtros espirituales. Fantasmas más rápidos y agresivos, con nuevas fases de combate. Expansión del lore con misiones secundarias y zonas nuevas. Sistema de dificultad flexible y modo pesadilla para los más valientes. También debatimos la polémica de los 30 FPS en consola, el efecto de grano cinematográfico y si realmente afecta a la experiencia en un juego de terror donde lo importante es la atmósfera. ¿El resultado? Un regreso que mantiene intacta la esencia de la saga y que vuelve a demostrar por qué Project Zero sigue siendo una referencia del horror psicológico. En Clave de Fa de Raffa Valencia: la música de Yoko Shimomura En nuestra sección musical volvemos a una de las compositoras más queridas del videojuego: Yoko Shimomura. Recordamos su papel fundamental en la banda sonora de Kingdom Hearts y cómo creó algunos de los temas más emblemáticos de la saga, incluyendo Dearly Beloved y la adaptación instrumental de Simple and Clean, interpretada originalmente por Utada Hikaru. Comentamos además curiosidades de su proceso creativo: Fue la responsable no solo de la música, sino del diseño de sonido completo del juego. Trabajó muchas piezas sin ver aún los escenarios finales. Considera Kingdom Hearts una de las composiciones más difíciles de su carrera. Comunidad Rejugando y próximos eventos También aprovechamos para agradecer a todos los que nos apoyáis en Twitch e iVoox y para recordar que en Retro Barcelona contaremos con la presencia de la compositora Michiru Yamane, leyenda musical de la saga Castlevania. 🎮 En este episodio hablamos de: El futuro de Xbox y Project Elix Consolas vs PC y el nuevo modelo de ecosistema El debate sobre PlayStation y el mercado de PC Análisis completo de Fatal Frame 2 remake Curiosidades musicales de Yoko Shimomura Comunidad, aniversarios y actualidad del videojuego Un programa cargado de tecnología, terror, música y debate sobre hacia dónde va la industria del videojuego.

Microsoft revela Project Helix, su próxima consola Xbox, que unirá juegos de PC y consola con gráficos avanzadosPor Félix Riaño @LocutorCoMicrosoft comenzó a contar cómo será su próxima consola Xbox, llamada Project Helix, diseñada para unir videojuegos de PC y consola.Microsoft ya está preparando la próxima generación de Xbox. Su nombre interno es Project Helix, y aunque todavía faltan varios años para verla en las tiendas, ya conocemos algunos detalles técnicos que ayudan a entender hacia dónde va el futuro de los videojuegos.El anuncio ocurrió durante la Game Developers Conference 2026, un gran encuentro mundial donde desarrolladores de videojuegos y empresas tecnológicas comparten sus avances. Allí, Jason Ronald, vicepresidente de próxima generación en Xbox, explicó que Microsoft comenzará a enviar versiones tempranas de la consola a estudios de videojuegos en 2027 para que puedan empezar a crear juegos compatibles.Estas versiones tempranas se llaman devkits, abreviatura de “development kits”. Son consolas de prueba que permiten a los estudios preparar sus juegos antes de que el producto final llegue al público.Pero lo más interesante es el objetivo del proyecto. Unir el mundo de las consolas Xbox con el de los computadores personales. La pregunta es inevitable. ¿Estamos ante una consola tradicional o ante algo más parecido a un PC diseñado para jugar?Pero la nueva Xbox quiere romper la frontera entre consola y PC.Project Helix es el nombre clave de la próxima consola Xbox, sucesora de la actual generación formada por Xbox Series X y Xbox Series S, lanzadas en el año 2020.La gran diferencia es que Microsoft quiere cambiar la forma en que pensamos las consolas. Durante décadas, las consolas y los computadores han sido dos mundos separados. En una consola compras el hardware específico y juegas títulos diseñados para esa máquina. En un computador puedes instalar juegos desde muchas tiendas y ajustar el hardware.Microsoft quiere acercar esos dos universos.Según explicó Jason Ronald en la conferencia para desarrolladores, Project Helix será capaz de ejecutar juegos de consola Xbox y juegos de PC. Esto significa que la misma máquina podría acceder a experiencias que hoy están separadas.Para lograrlo, Microsoft está trabajando con la empresa AMD, fabricante de procesadores y tarjetas gráficas. Juntas están diseñando un chip personalizado, llamado SoC o “system on a chip”. Este tipo de chip integra varios componentes en una sola pieza, como el procesador central, el procesador gráfico y sistemas de inteligencia artificial.Ese chip permitirá aplicar nuevas técnicas gráficas que buscan que los videojuegos se vean más realistas que nunca.El gran reto de la industria del videojuego es que los gráficos cada vez son más complejos.Los desarrolladores quieren crear mundos más detallados, con iluminación realista, reflejos naturales y animaciones más fluidas. Pero todo eso requiere una enorme cantidad de cálculos por segundo.Una de las tecnologías más exigentes se llama ray tracing, o trazado de rayos. Es un método que simula el comportamiento real de la luz. Permite que los reflejos en un espejo, el brillo del agua o la iluminación de una habitación se vean como en la vida real.El problema es que calcular esos efectos exige mucha potencia. Incluso las consolas actuales tienen límites cuando usan estas técnicas.Microsoft dice que Project Helix ofrecerá un salto enorme en rendimiento de ray tracing. Esto permitiría escenarios más realistas y dinámicos.Además, la consola usará técnicas de aprendizaje automático, es decir, inteligencia artificial entrenada para mejorar gráficos.Por ejemplo, una técnica llamada upscaling con aprendizaje automático permite generar imágenes de mayor resolución a partir de imágenes más pequeñas. Otra llamada generación de cuadros adicionales crea nuevos fotogramas intermedios para que el movimiento se vea más fluido.Todo esto apunta a un objetivo. Que los videojuegos tengan mundos más complejos sin sacrificar rendimiento.Aunque los detalles técnicos son prometedores, todavía falta camino.Microsoft comenzará a enviar las primeras versiones de prueba de Project Helix a desarrolladores en 2027. Eso significa que los estudios podrán empezar a crear juegos para esta nueva generación de hardware varios años antes de que llegue al público.Este proceso es normal en la industria. Cuando un estudio recibe un devkit puede probar nuevas herramientas, optimizar gráficos y asegurarse de que sus juegos funcionen bien cuando la consola se lance oficialmente.También sabemos que Microsoft quiere mantener una de las características que ha hecho popular a Xbox en los últimos años. La compatibilidad con juegos antiguos.La empresa afirma que los juegos de cuatro generaciones de Xbox seguirán funcionando.Esto incluye el programa Xbox Play Anywhere, que ya cuenta con más de 1.500 juegos que pueden jugarse tanto en consola como en PC con una sola compra.Al mismo tiempo, Microsoft está integrando más funciones de Xbox directamente en Windows. En algunos computadores comenzará a aparecer un modo Xbox en Windows 11, que permite usar el sistema con una interfaz optimizada para jugar con control.En otras palabras, la empresa está construyendo un ecosistema donde los juegos se mueven entre dispositivos. Consola, computador y nube.El anuncio de Project Helix también llega en un momento importante para Xbox.La marca cumple 25 años, y Microsoft quiere marcar el inicio de una nueva etapa. Durante los últimos años, las ventas de hardware Xbox han sido menores que las de sus competidores principales, Nintendo y Sony.Además, la división de videojuegos de Microsoft representa alrededor del 7 % de los ingresos totales de la empresa, según reportes financieros recientes.Por esa razón, la estrategia actual parece centrarse en ampliar el alcance del ecosistema Xbox más allá de una sola consola. Servicios como Xbox Game Pass, el juego en la nube y la compatibilidad con PC forman parte de esa estrategia.En ese contexto, Project Helix podría representar algo más que una consola nueva. Podría ser un intento de redefinir qué es una consola en el siglo XXI.Algunos analistas incluso sugieren que el precio de esta máquina podría ser elevado. Hay estimaciones que hablan de 900 dólares o más, aunque Microsoft todavía no ha confirmado ningún precio.Por ahora, lo que sabemos es que la empresa quiere crear una plataforma capaz de acompañar los próximos años del videojuego. Con gráficos más complejos, inteligencia artificial integrada y una conexión mucho más estrecha entre consola y computador.Project Helix es el proyecto de la próxima Xbox y busca unir los mundos de la consola y el PC. Todavía faltan años para verla en tiendas, pero el plan apunta a gráficos más realistas, inteligencia artificial integrada y juegos que funcionen en muchos dispositivos.Si te gusta entender cómo evoluciona la tecnología del entretenimiento, sigue el pódcast Flash Diario en Spotify.Bibliografía

In today's Daily Fix:Microsoft held a talk at this year's Game Developers Conference where they gave a very brief overview of what to expect from the next-gen Xbox hardware, codenamed Project Helix. The console is confirmed to be able to play PC and Xbox games, and will be powered by a custom AMD SoC. They also teased a look at the Xbox Developer Kit, or XDK. In other news, Fortnites original story-focused Save the World mode will go free-to-play for the first time in April. The mode is what Fortnite was all about before the Battle Royale mode was added a few months later and subsequently changed the gaming industry forever. And finally, original Resident Evil 2 director Hideki Kamiya wants Capcom to add a 'non-scary' mode to Resident Evil Requiem, since he just wants to do puzzles and combat.

In today's Daily Fix:Xbox's new CEO, Asha Sharma, has officially teased the next console: codenamed "Project Helix." The next-generation gaming console will be compatible with PC as well as Xbox games. Sharma will be at the Game Developers Conference next week to share more details. In other news, Highguard has received its final update, the "Farewell Tour" patch, which adds a new playable Warden, new skill tree, and new weapons. Players will get to enjoy it for a week before the whole game shuts down on March 12. Castlevania fans worried that the new Belmont's Curse might be more roguelike or roguelite than classic Castlevania, fear not. Developer Motion Twin has roguelike experience with the hit game Dead Cells, but Konami is promising a classic Castlevania experience with the new game. And finally, Ubisoft has released the first piece of concept art for the upcoming Assassin's Creed: Black Flag Resynced, the remake of the fan-favorite fourth Assassin's Creed game.

Einmal mehr finden die Podcast-Aufnahmen parallel zu großen Ereignissen der Weltgeschichte statt. Weinkönigin Jürgen könnte nicht einmal darauf anstoßen – er mag gar keinen Sekt. Stattdessen gibt er umfassend Auskunft über seinen Streaming-Musikkonsum des vergangenen Jahres – Top 5, Lieblingsalbum und sein geschätztes Alter inklusive. Außerdem hat er die „Assassins Creed Shadows x Attack on Titan“-Collab gespielt. Amazon liefert derweil weniger Spiele für Prime-Mitglieder. Liegt es an Deutschlands hohen Retourenzahlen? Online darf auch im Beatles-Shop geordert werden, unter anderem die neueste „Anthology“. Und was Carl Orff mit Depeche Mode zu tun hat, behandeln wir ebenso versiert wie britische KI-Proteste, „Dr. Mabuses Meisterwerk“ und die Lachgruppe der kommenden Fußball-WM, in der Deutschlands Weiterkommen alles andere als garantiert ist. Roland ist erstaunt: Jürgen kennt die legendäre deutsche Spielezeitschrift GEE noch nicht. Apropos Spiele: „Starfleet Academy“ ist nicht nur ein gut gealterter Weltraumklassiker von Interplay, sondern im kommenden Jahr auch eine Art SF-„Beverly Hills, 90210“, zum Glück in der Zeitlinie von „Star Trek Discovery“. Derweil kratzt „Star Citizen“ mit rund 900 Millionen US-Dollar an der Einnahmen-Milliardengrenze und will 2026 tatsächlich den Kampagnenmodus veröffentlichen. Zum 40. Jubiläum nennt sich die altehrwürdige Game Developers Conference um: Im März lädt das GDC Festival of Gaming zur Eröffnungsfeier ins gemietete Baseball-Stadion von San Francisco ein. Dass es auch eine Nummer kleiner geht, zeigen Rolands Dauerbrenner „Honkai: Star Rail“ und Jürgens 8-Bit-Aktivitäten anlässlich einer Reportage zu den Oliver Twins. Oder das Traumschiff in Neuseeland. (Aufgenommen am 6. Dezember 2025)

Happy Birthday, Xbox! Am 15. November 2021 wurde die erste Videospielkonsole von Microsoft 20 Jahre alt. Games Insider feiert dieses Ereignis mit einer feinen Unterstützerfolge, in der Sönke, Andy und Benedikt den Werdegang des für Microsoft kommerziell wenig erfolgreichen, aber für die Spieleindustrie wegweisendes Geräts im Detail beleuchten. Im ersten Podcast-Block blicken wir unter anderem auf die Vorgeschichte der Xbox, die erste Enthüllung auf der Game Developers Conference 2000 (die Sönke damals besucht hat), den USA-, Europa- und Japan-Start sowie das in vielerlei Hinsicht bahnbrechende Halo: Combat Evolved von US-Entwickler Bungie. Im zweiten Block beleuchten wir, wie der Start des Online-Dienstes Xbox Live Konsolen-Gaming nachhaltig verändert hat, wie Microsoft sich nach und nach die Unterstützung von immer mehr Third-Party-Studios sichern konnte und was die Faszination anfänglich Xbox-exklusiver Spiele wie Star Wars: Knights of the Republic, Ninja Gaiden und Fable noch heute ausmacht. Der dritte Block steht schließlich ganz im Zeichen des damals bevorstehenden Generationswechsels hin zur Xbox 360 nebst der der zahlreichen Hits, die in dieser Zeit noch erschienen sind. Unsere persönlichen Xbox-Favoriten, einige Geheimtipps sowie diverse Job-Anekdoten runden diese Episode schließlich gebührend ab. Viel Spaß beim Hören, Benedikt, Sönke & Andy

Game Developers Conference was this last week, allowing the makers of games to get together and network and share ideas for the future of the industry. It is no surprise that timed with this week was the announcement of an industry wide union for game developers. It has been a difficult year for those in the industry, and we talk about the potential implications of this move on the industry and what it could mean. There's this and much more news on another week of the longest running video game podcast, Orange Lounge Radio!   Also in the News:   * Lego Pokemon * More Games to GoG Preservation * Balatro at Game Developers Choice Awards * Minecraft Live Recap   All this and more on the show where EVERY gamer has a voice-- Orange Lounge Radio!

The Game Developers Conference has come and gone for another year, and this week we have a potpourri mostly focused on our experiences at the show, with a particular focus on some emerging dev tools like Nvidia's AI-driven text-to-animation system and how they relate to current labor and economic issues in the industry, some of the cool maker-esque projects Will saw at alt.ctrl.GDC, and more.Videos to all the alt.ctrl.GDC projects we discussed: https://gdconf.com/alt-ctrl-gdcThe blog post referenced later in the episode: https://www.joewintergreen.com/if-you-want-shorter-games-with-worse-graphics-made-by-people-who-are-paid-more-to-work-less-graphics-tech-advancements-should-please-you/ Support the Pod!

The Game Developers Conference is happening in San Francisco, and Patrick and Rob are [checks notes] not there and a little bummed about it, which leads to a longer discussion about the role of games media in helping spread information from events like it. They also talk about Bobby Kotick filing a lawsuit against various media outlets and the new Life Is Strange flopping, before Cado joins for a long discussion on the (excellent!) Assassin's Creed Shadows, early weird troubles with Rob's new PC, and consider why some fruit snacks look better than others.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hey Strangers, #indiegame #gaming #ai Video games—and the people who make them—are in trouble. An estimated 10,500 people in the industry were laid off in 2023 alone. This year, layoffs in the nearly $200 billion sector have only gotten worse, with studios axing what is believed to be 11,000 more, and counting. Microsoft, home of the Xbox and parent company to several studios, including Activision Blizzard, shuttered Tango Gameworks and Alpha Dog Games in May. All the while, generative AI systems built by OpenAI and its competitors have been seeping into nearly every industry, dismantling whole careers along the way. But gaming might be the biggest industry AI stands poised to conquer. Its economic might has long since eclipsed Hollywood's, while its workforce remains mostly nonunion. A recent survey from the organizers of the Game Developers Conference found that 49 percent of the survey's more than 3,000 respondents said their workplace used AI, and four out of five said they had ethical concerns about its use. ======================================= My other podcast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCKpvBEElSl1dD72Y5gtepkw ************************************************** Something Strange https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRjVc2TZqN4&t=4s ************************************************** article links: https://www.wired.com/story/ai-is-already-taking-jobs-in-the-video-game-industry/ ====================================== Today is for push-ups and Programming and I am all done doing push-ups Discord https://discord.gg/MYvNgYYFxq TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@strangestcoder Youtube https://www.youtube.com/@codingwithstrangers Twitch https://www.twitch.tv/CodingWithStrangers Twitter https://twitter.com/strangestcoder merch Support CodingWithStrangers IRL by purchasing some merch.

One of the reasons behind the immense popularity of this hit multiplayer roleplaying game is its incredible soundtrack. Today, we are joined by the Audio Director of Larian Studios — the makers of “Baldur's Gate 3” — Stefan Randelshofer, along with our guest host, Dolby's Senior Game Developer Relations Manager, Alistair Hirst, in a live discussion from this year's Game Developers Conference, to discuss what went into creating the rich, sonic atmosphere of the video game.“There is a complete architecture for 3D audio that allows you to listen to 3D audio objects. You can make that work automatically and you can facilitate those 3D audio objects and that gives you so many chances to be more immersed in what you're doing. In a world like Baldur's Gate, there's so much stuff going on. In the city, when people talk around you. You have a cool combat — if you have one of the spells fly by. So it really gives you the perspective of being there. Therefore, that was the reason for me to go into this Dolby setup”—Stefan Randelshofer, Audio Director, “Baldur's Gate 3”Be sure to check out “Baldur's Gate 3”, available on PC, Steam, and consoles.Please subscribe to Dolby Creator Talks wherever you get your podcasts.You can also check out the video for this episode.Learn more about the Dolby Institute and check out Dolby.com.
