GT5 P: What are the car sounds like ?

[RobPhoboS]

Do we have overrun pops, bangs and fire ?
Realistic sound ?

It's pretty much the ONLY thing I really care about in car games, and its only really PGR4 thats come nearly spot on.

[stew-S160]

the ITR-dc5 sounds pretty much right to me. thats the only experience i have so far

[stephen300o]

No pop, no bangs and no fire but it's alot better than gt4, the F40 sounds especially nice.

[RobPhoboS]

Hmm, not interested then.
PGR4 is still as good as it gets then (cept for rFactor+G25).

Oh well.

maybe you should look at colin mcrae or something then

Hehe, tyre sounds are awlful, best tyre sound i heard recently is probably the F1 1989 i think from Carrera 4 on GTR2, nice sound, and a bloody good mod.

I like the way in Froza as you upgrade your car the sound changes ever so slightly until you put a race pipe on it and it parps away. Forza is out in front of everything in terms of engine sound at them moment but hopefully that will change with the next evolution of PC Sims.

I've got CMDirt... graphics amazing, handling (with wheel) good fun... sound.......WHAT THE F!!K !!! All the cars sound nearly identical, and even that sounds like a dyson with wind.

Yes PGR4 is very good, it keeps my coffee cup from making a ring on the table.

I'm sorry but the sounds in PGR4 are at least 10 times better than Forza. Almost all the cars sound very distinctive to their real life counter parts. Something that can't be said for Forza. The one thing that gets me is the TVR engine sounds. I've never heard a game that has reproduced them accurately, they sound crap in Forza, but in PGR they are significantly better.

Especially the Typon !
Seriously, PGR4 and rFactor have the best sounds\pops\fire as it stands at the moment.
Forza 2 is cool in that it changes as you upgrade components but they only seemed to record about 10-20 cars MAX out of (silly high number anyway) 300+. Certainly not asking them to record that many as it would take forever to release a game.

A recording someone has put on youtube of the F1 car in prologue.

And an F430... SCREEEEEEEECH indeed...

That 430 sounds absolutely pathetic. It really does. Try to ignore the music but here is the 430 in PGR4 for comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iR2gcq1G5iQ

The difference being that the car in PGR actually sounds quite similar to the car in real life.


I don't know what they used for the sound in GT5, but it is pants.

[daveco]

Having listened to both the PGR4 and GT5 clips of the F430, both don't seem to be as good as Forza2.

[Polarbert]

I honestly don't know how you can say that. If anything pgr and forza are as good. PGR just sounds that little bit more realistic to the car.

[sorrento205]

i gotta agree with bert, pgr is much better than forza for sounds. forza is only a little better than the gran turismo's of old imo. If you want really good engine noises you have to play need for speed series

NFS seems to have had the most effort spent on sound. The GT cars have always lacked the oomph and soul that make some cars so special.

Take the zondaF or Lambo Murci in the recent NeedforSpeeds, even on a fairly low volume it sounds like a demented beast the way the v12 shrieks, and as such you actually fear the engine and its potential. Fire up the Zonda in GT4 it seems barely different from all the jap 4cylinders.

In GT I perceive a quite limited range of sounds produced by the engines, perhaps over compression to save space on the disc, but it just means all the cars seem lifeless and uniform, more like hair driers than machines of aural pleasure.

[RobPhoboS]

ARgh why did you have to say that !!!
I keep seeing lots of NFS game content, and it keeps making me wonder if its worth picking up.
Think Im gonna pop to the shops and do a trade
(even if the game is fairly cack)


Well lets hope they actually record the sound for the real GT5 !

[stew-S160]

car sounds, yes, ste. anyone notice in GT4 that the rear engined RUF's had NO engine noise from inside the car or the front. no noise, just wind and road noise.


as for tyre screeching, i think that might be down to selected tyres. using N tyres will produce schreeching alot, S less so, and R should be quiet ish.

an example for you- http://videos.streetfire.net/video/c56dec1c-6662-4...

listen to the tyre noises.

From personal experiance, the Focus ST sounds completely different in real life in both internal and external POVs. Much throatier and obviously a 5-pot.

I've only been playing a couple of hours, but the sounds are the only let down so far IMO
