Give us better sounds - PLEASE !!

omg that GT-R it's kind of sad how terribly sterile and awful a 900+HP R35 sounds in GT5, laughable in fact.

You realize both cars have modified exhausts, right?

To be fair he has a point.
Too many of the exhaust upgrades in GT sound rubbish.
There are many examples of cars with NO proper alternative in regards to realistic-ish sound. The M3 '07 f.ex, only the stock exhaust sound like a crossplane V8 (It sounds nothing like the real thing though).

This is why I have little hope of GT6 delivering consistently realistic sound, the people asigning samples seem to have no clue about engine configurations or the general characteristics of them.
So we end up with a LS7 sounding like a flat plane V8 or a 4 cylinder using V6 samples, or V12 engines sounding like V10 or V8's.
It really takes an effort to be that thoroughly off the mark!

Not to mention all the samples that sound like no real engine configuration at all, just generic noise.

 

[RACECAR]

I was under the impression that he was using a video with aftermarket exhausts to say that the cars should sound like that (like how many people for some reason used the Contach video with the Kreissing Exhaust to say they want PD to make the car in the game with that sound).

Really? I thought they were both bone stock with fancy liveries...

Yeah, imagine if any of the available exhausts for the Countaches sounded that good

Acctually, imagine if any of them sounded like a proper V12.

You realize you can modify exhausts in GT right?

 

[Crowood]

One of the first things for me to do in GT6 is check out the sample assignment for certain cars.

Again, was under the impression he was referring to the default engine sounds and not the modification of exhausts. He doesn't exactly make that clear in his post.

 

[Strittan]

I'd say iRacing is probably the game to beat when it comes to sound these days.

^ no environment effects - Simbin do those better

^ no environment effects - Simbin do those better

Maybe, but they sounded awfully good nonetheless. And compared to the car sounds in GT?...

 

[CoolColJ]

They sound disconnected from the images shown - the uncanny valley effect

 

[Strittan]

^ no environment effects - Simbin do those better

When it comes to racing games, engne/exhaust sounds are far more important than environment effects though, don't you think? I don't find Simbin's sounds very impressive to be honest. The exterior sounds are very static in my opinion.

 

[RedBaron]

iRacing sounds just wonderful, everything is there concerning engine sound. Dopplers, echoes and other sounds have PD acquired better, but this doesn't mean anything, because whole engine sound basics are just wrong in GT.

Please Kaz San; give us a engine sound like iRacing please!!!

How iRacing developpers can make Good sound like this!!!!

 

[GENERALSAVANT]

I just saw this posted. Might help quench your fears...

 

[Johnnypenso]

@GENERALSAVANT That video is supposed to quench my fears? That car sounds terrible.

I'm no expert, but to me it seems like Simbin's environment effects are part of the engine sample rather than a separate thing, which makes it sound a bit off. This is especially obvious in chase cam.


If iRacing had the enviromental effects of GT, it would sound mind blowing. Because the samples are great.

 

[ShiftingGears]

The basic engine sound of the DeltaWing sounds exactly like the Impreza Rally Edition from GT1.

 

[Samus]

I wonder just how big the recycle bin is at PD HQ.

Nope


Simbin is the second one

 

[Encyclopedia]

Haven't seen those videos before. Nice.

I based my opinion on playing the game itself, and to me it felt like a lot of the sounds was in the sample. Especially in the Judd powered BMW. Maybe I was wrong.

But still, iRacings samples are glorious and still sounds overall best to me.

 

[CoolColJ]

Well iRacing has nice clean samples, Simbin and P cars sound quite dirty and saturated
GT5 was quite distorted as well in a bad way... hope GT6 doesn't go back to that route...

 

[Strittan]

This.

The environmental effects in GT5 is quite incredible really, and actually makes the horrible engine sounds sound ok in replays, or sometimes even close to good!

 

[Johnnypenso]

The DeltaWing isn't the greatest sounding car in real life either....at least in onboards I've seen...

I resubbed to iRacing again this morning due to the 3 months for $12 promo code to see if anything is much different from the last time I played years ago - as far as sounds go, iRacing is overrated...
Simbin has much more race car feel and ambience, you can feel the brute power of the engines!

The V8 race car I tried, was quite tinny with no bass and aural power :/
Very sterile in sound, feel and ambience.
(Physics was like driving on ice as well, but that's a different topic for another day)

If GT6 sounded more like Simbin , then I'd be quite happy
Simbin gives much more emersion - crackles, pops, transmission whine, clunks and thunks etc

Awesome! The Game is spot on!

Just saw that vid also, the Huayra sounded like a kitchen appliance and the "turbo" sounds make me think of the airbrakes on a bus...

Incredible that they still just ported the already horrible sounds from previous installments straight into GT6... Can't they just try making a tiny effort in improving their samples, or use different ones??

 

[GTracer98]

For me PD is just being weird, they have so much experience and budget that surely they could make good sounds... But they don't and that makes me think that they're either deaf or simply don't care.
