Exciting news!! Can someone give me an assist as in what to search for on Youtube to find these videos? My work network does not allow YT access. So, I have to find the vids using my phone's browser. Thanks in advance.
PS. Maybe a user name for the person(s) posting these vids?

Does anyone know if the sound going to be any better/clearer than in GT5P?, because to me it just sounded kinda flat and somewhat lifeless. Yes ok i know i dont have the best speakers (i dont use tv for sound btw) but GT4 sounded much better and louder than GT5P does. I booted up GT4 last night just to test that and it was definetly much better than in GT5P.

Anyway, these new videos are the ultimate proof that good sounds will sound good even on crappy recordings.
So much for those who kept repeating the "youtube quality is the culprit" mantra.

Hehe, it might well be that the poor quality is "covering up" the sound, and the distortion is adding artificial depth to it such that it could still be "underwhelming" in person! We're very good at filling in the gaps...
Anyway, I can't wait to find out for myself.

Ok, now it would be nice if one of those guys with GT5 were to connect the sound directly to the camera they use to record their videos, so we can hear the sound without distortion!

Indeed, boomy speakers may be covering up extra detail we're missing here. I would love to hear a direct feed at some point.
By the way, I'm really dying to hear the fate of that infamous 69' corvette stingray.

We still need interior/bumper/hood cam views to judge the sound as I'm sure most of us don't opt for the chase cams (I personally find it hard to control the cars in chase view).

Hmmm since posting that i did some looking around, and found quite a few people with that very same view.
Maybe i got the PS3 audio setup wrong or something?. Because on mine, when i played GT4 on my PS2, then went into GT5P on my PS3, the GT4 game definetly sounded much better.
My ears are tuned to sound quality, as i do spend a lot of time creating songs and making DJ music mixes. So maybe my audio setup is wrong or something.
I do believe its set to auto via HDMI in the PS3 settings, as well as being set to one of the Dolby settings (or whatever the setting is called).
I guess i should look into it, as i want the same, if not better sound experience that i had/have from GT4. Well thats when this damn game gets released

Awesome sound! Waaaayy better than GT4.
Here's another sound of that Civic, straight from Honda's website:

The GT5 version sounds rather similar. It's cleaner, though. Perhaps due to post-processing and equalization/compression.

You do realise there are three audio settings within the game (GT5P) itself: Living Room, Small Theatre and Large Theatre. Unless you have proper Home Theatre setup, I'd opt for the first two. Even through my TV speakers, the second option (Small Theatre) plus a slight reduction in treble (-3 to -4 db) and an increased Bass, bring about a much improved sound.
And having a proper PS3 setting makes a huge difference. I can't remember my exact setting since I've sold my PS3 a few months ago. But it's worth doing a bit research and understand your basic audio setup. I remember when I finally got the right setting (on the PS3), the sounds of the cars improved significantly.
I still can't understand how people can make sound judgement (pun intended) of the audio quality, positively or negatively, when it's captured through a camera microphone and viewed via Youtube. The sound have gone through multiple compression/encoding. Just listen to the music in the background (if it's there) of any GT4/5 videos and use it to gauge the quality. If audio quality of music you hear on these videos sounds nothing like what you would normally hear on your system, then it's a good indication that it's not good enough for anything but casual viewing.

As already stated, in GT4 and GT5
there are audio format / output settings in the game that can change the way it sounds. I forget what the settings are in GT4, but GT5 has a "dynamic range" setting that acts as a sort of audio compressor, but in constant effect rather than adaptive, as is usual for music.Anyway, setting this to something other than the default (i.e. to one of the theatre settings) opens up the dynamic range somewhat. This means you need to turn your system up to hear the cars properly in replays, but in-car stuff is definitely more crisp - beware of large swings in volume with the large theatre setting, though.
Additionally, people have stated that the stereo mix is terrible whilst the 5.1 mix is much more defined.
I think you have to set one of the 5.1 options as a possible output "format" in the PS3's own system settings, and GT5
automatically uses it.EDIT: @ risuku13: good find! 👍 Although I listened to all of those only a week or so ago
I forgot...

It also sounds just as whizzy in the interior / bumper views as Prologue's Z4.
It's possible that GT5 is plagued by consistency issues, just as previous iterations were.

But you also notice how different his MX-5 on Tsukuba videos sounds to the other one

Yes i realise i can choose from 3 audio settings inside of the game. Ive tried all three, and i really didnt hear any difference.
Im probably gonna go out and buy some of those Logitech X5500's and see if they are better. Mine right now are the pretty much a basic 5.1 setup, so im assuming they will be a great step up from what ive got.
Jeeez with those, and the PS3, plus the 1080P LED i bought just for this game it BETTER BE WORTH IT
Actually i know this is like wayyyy off topic, but what would you guys recommend regards speakers for the PS3?. Im assuming a direct optical connection?, rather than going via the HDMI TV cable.AA

They are different cars - one is the 1800 RS, and the other is a 1600 from the previous generation. But they both do sound "good", I suppose, as far as I can tell.
Yeah, the GT5 one was a Z4 M Coupe, not a Z3, and was definitely a Premium car.

I would hold fire on buying new equipment. Try changing the PS3's audio settings and faff about with various listening devices you have to hand - if you've got some semi-decent headphones lying about, that'll help identify what's "missing" in your sound and should be more informative to any changes in the game's audio settings.
I send the optical output to my soundcard in my desktop PC, which then processes the 5.1 to either my (cheap!) 5.1 setup, or my headphones (using a 3D headphone algorithm for positional audio.)
This means my audio is largely controlled by my PC!
If your 5.1 setup has an amp, or master unit, try playing with settings on that instead - the low frequency channel is a bit low in the mix normally, so crank up the sub a touch if it helps.

Thanks for the info. I will try out my headphones and see whats missing so to speak. Im a DJ in my spare time, and my headphones should hold up ok i think. They are the Sony MDR-V700 model.
Interesting you mentioned running it via the soundcard. I have a NI Audio 2 DJ soundcard which gives excellent performance. So is there a way i can hook up the sound via that you think?.
Thanks again for the advice. You may of just saved me $300 👍
Edit: I just checked the soundcard and couldnt see an optical connection on it. Does that mean there is no way i can use that for use with the PS3?
Here is some info from there website regards connections and whatnots.
The AUDIO 2 DJ connects to your computer via the USB 2.0 cable. The two 1/4 inch output channels can either be used to route stereo signals to an external mixer, or as a master out and headphone monitor for using the internal mixer of your DJ or performance software. The included cables make hooking up to any system a breeze- all you need is your AUDIO 2 DJ and laptop.
