I've got professional studio headphones and I'm not impressed at all.
I wouldn't have commented on sounds if I were able to hear them only with integrated tv speakers at low volume.
 
Sounds in GT5 sound good to me besides some cars being off I love when you upgrade your car it sounds different.
 
Shelby Daytona Coupe had a Racing Transmission but no sequential transmission !
This is because of the production year 1965 I think ??

Riiight.... I forgot about that fancy new transmission cars have nowadays. :dunce:

And yes the Daytona coupe was 1964/1965.
 
I am 99% sure I know the answer to this but here goes anyways: is the 787b in the dealership premium? Is it identical to the stealth 787b as far as interior, sound, etc? Thank you!

I've never been a fan of headphones myself, too lifeless usually. But headphones are still only as good as the preamp powering them. This is true for any part of an audio system. The lowest quality part is always going to be the weak point.

As far as the sounds of some cars, yes I agree some of them don't sound as much like the real thing as they should. For the most part sound quality is the best I have heard from a game, and the surround sound is amazing. But everybody has their own opinion on this, and I am not trying to change that.
 
The sounds in the game are great but they sound crappy when changing gears. But when I let go off the gas when shifting, its better.

Always sounds better when you do it yourself :)
...of course some cars are better replicated if they have a clutch-less box in real life, or autos. The autos slur properly in GT5.

I'd say some cars sound pretty darn good, but most fail miserably. On cars that have some grunt to them it's terrible. But cars such as the LFA or more or less any 4cyl, they are pretty solid.

Grunts aren't done too well, shrieks are.
 
The 599 and the Enzo in gt5 doesn't have Enzo engine sound.....


In GT5 prologue the 599 had a real Enzo engine noise and a real 599 gargling notes


In gt5 it doesn't.....

The engine sound of 599 in gt5 prologue should be updated for the 599 and the Enzo for GT5
 
Anyone manage to have a sound system that pulls dolby 12.1 one or not, or are we maxed at 7.1... I am wondering if I should go all out for a sound system for this game or not. My 7.1 headset sounds great.. but I could always go for more.....
 
Very obvious sample blending on the LFA. At the same time, I can't help but snicker when I think maybe the GT series was immune to these flaws in the past because it really wasn't sophisticated at all, but in fact too basic to encounter any problems in the first place. :dopey:

I also appreciate previous postings of off-screen footage for the sounds too, but that really is very low quality for me... The amount of compression is clearly distorting it for the better. I know the usual arguments on youtube compression but this isn't about the encoding here, it's the whole "mobile phone" quality issue -the device in the middle just isn't capable of representing the truth.

Still, one could record GT5 off-screen with professional microphones and that would be perfectly acceptable because quality scales like that. Clarity is easy to hear and GT5 has enormous clarity.

Anyway, when direct-feed audio is in the wild now there really need not be a compromise any more. I wouldn't give any other game benefit of the doubt either.

P.S. The 787b isn't truly idling is it? The rev counter remains steady while the sample loops... not even GT5 is that advanced I guess, joking btw. :)
 
I just have in used cars Ford GT40..

It is such a mean car. It have very dirty sound.

19mln price tag is far away for me to buy...
 
I dont know if its just me, but the cars sound bad when its in high RPM and u just let it go back to idle.

Like the engine doesnt like an engine calming down. You can hear its taking the noise and as if someone is taking a slider and slowing down the noise (BPM/pitch) sounds very weird to me :/

Anyone else notice this.
 
I wish they'd start recording cars when they're under load and not just revving up and down. As well as add in that 'notch' noise when you actually shift gears in a car.
 
The Tamora with Race Exhaust sounds like the real thing with a straight through pipe :drool:
But they really need to sort out the high rpm's for the cars.
The 2010 Camaro SS is just useless even with the ugly Race Exhaust.
 
High RPMs aren't good because they don't have enough samples or they weren't able to record the cars reving to redline. Most owners won't allow them to do that :)
But there are some cars that have good range.

Shelby Cobra is one car that doesn't have enough samples so the top end suffers
