Meh, GT is just more realistic to me in that respect, since production cars actually sound like production cars and a honda civic doesn't sound like a rocket about to take off and explode in a nuclear fusion. Most people forget that normal cars are actually designed to mask most of the noise so you don't have 20 years shaved off of your life from constant noise pollution.I like the sound in GT too, but I like it more in NFS:S. I like that exaggerated feel. I also like that fact that you can hear your car over the other cars. In GT its hard to tell where you engine is at with a few cars around you.
I am prepared. heh. Thanks!
Personally, I've never liked loud and noisy cars, especially those idiots that put a muffler on their car with no noise reduction and come around sounding like the car is about to choke to death on a peanut. If I had my way I would throw all of those crappy little civics and cavaliers off a cliff.
The sound in NFS:shift and other games isn't actually realistic, it's more often than not just really LOUD.
