The audio files are a dead end in PD's plans. It's all going the way of the Viziv. It'd have been nice if they fixed the sample allocation as well, but they obviously didn't think they'd still be relying on them.
I think that if they go through a method that involves creating new, better audio files to use themselves, they can do more with them.
They haven't created new audio files, try to understand that.
I know they haven't yet. Hence why the cars sound the same, and only the new ones sporadically contain a new file or heavily modified version of an older file.
What Griffith is trying to say I believe, is that there will be no sound files in the future. The generation of sounds will be completely organic, no samples at all. The software will be inputted with the number of cylinders, firing order, valve timing etc...literally hundreds or parameters that affect engine and other sound generation, then the sound software in the game will generate that sound organically, from the ground up, no samples.
What I'm trying to say myself as in creating their own samples is that they'll just create their own in-house soundbytes for each machine like you say. I think I came across differently.
But there won't be any "soundbytes" if you are referring to a data bank of sounds they create on their own. The new sound engine creates the sounds on the fly, in real time, as it happens, just like a real car. No more samples. They are attempting to program a virtual sound engine, not a sound engine that works with samples and manipulates them.
In that case it's a brillliant idea.
Atleast they're an improvement over the original set of sounds somewhat. And the cars they've been used on so far are very loud machines by nature.
True, at least they are finally trying to change their sound design which is a first in 15 years. I hope you won't need earplugs to enjoy it though
Well, a machine such as a 97T would necessitate some earplugs actuallyTrue, at least they are finally trying to change their sound design which is a first in 15 years. I hope you won't need earplugs to enjoy it though
They do sound louder. As I stated, 1.14 is a good start for sound updates.
Connect your preferred sound source to this video. Headphones, surround, whatever. Hit PLAY, then close your eyes and listen. Which one would you rather drive in game? There's your answer.
I find all the floating rear view cams sound funny and look funny because it's totally unnatural vs. real life. Point of the video though was to answer @Harsk100 's question of whether the exhaust sample should stay or go from GT6.
