GT5 Sound Thread

wtf?

^^V8 Vacuum cleaner!^^ Lol!!!

 

[RACECAR]

wtf?

I can actually hear the V8 in there, its the surrounding sound that's really out of place, which sounds like an improper Supercharger whine.

 

[Jav]

That's the problem with the sounds, somehow their sound samples are coming out way to digitalized. We shouldn't be trying hard to hear a proper sound, it shouldn't be an issue at all! That whine you hear isn't PD trying to model a supercharger whine, the car isn't supercharged in the first place. It's just the way they do things(maybe Griffith has a better understanding here) wich is ruining the final product.

Um, what?

Wasn't really trying hard at all, just took a listen and there it is. Also, I kinda got it the first billion times the sound samples are digitized (I play GT5 alot, I would know this).

Or is it the obnoxious gear whine from a fully adjustable tranny? I'm so glad PD dialed that down.

Lol! Yeah why are we talking about this same thing for like the 100th time so late?? Damn coffee!!! Lol!
If only we could hack into the game files and re-arrange them properly...

To be honest I kinda wished GT5 was an open source game. I think the game would definitely benefit from it. If only it was on PC...

 

[Griffith500]

wtf?

It's missing intake noise. In its place we get ancillary whine.

 

[Crowood]

That is why i NEVER drive the V8 M3 premium....as soon as i hear that sound i instantly change the car. (similar with the stock R8 V8)

Point of that video being...?

To show that people exagerate.

GT5 sounds are FAR from perfect like I already said imho. But calling them vacuum cleaners it's a bit childish and generic.

And the joke is old. Very old.

Who's joking?

That's about the closest way to describe the engine sounds.

It's no exaggeration. You even just admitted that GT5 sounds are far from perfect.

 

[Griffith500]

The problem is that when people say "vacuum cleaner", they're usually being antagonistic. Like the V8-muscle brigade throwing the term "sewing machine" around to describe anything that isn't an SBC with 280 cams, or whatever...

And it is an exaggeration, unless your hearing is so devoid of sensitivity that you can't hear that most cars do actually sound like cars in GT5. Of course, it doesn't help that they often don't sound like the right car...

 

[masterrawad]

Yuck

no freaking duh, it's a racing exhaust. why not put a video of the stock exhaust rather than one with the racing exhaust? or were you too lazy to look?

Implying the Cougar doens't sound like one? I think you need a reality check. Last time I checked, muscle V8's didn't sound like that.

Still doesn't like an Aventador should.



Plus, I don't ever recall hearing a car's noise change that dramatically after installing some sort of exhaust.

Sometimes, I think you are one of the few in GT5 section with common sense as this is exactly what I see. And then there's the oh so famous excuse when you call them out on it thats along the lines of "If GT5 sound's didn't sound like that", as if making the same overused joke is going to solve anything. People need to learn to be constructive and less childish.

It's what boredom causes.

What the hell happened to the sound of the Lexus IS F Racing Concept '08?
Haven't used it for quite a while and so I gave it a try for the new time trial nad... couldn't believe my ears.
That Lexus was one of the best sounding cars in GT5, and now PD messed it up completely. Now it sounds like all the other cars... like a lawn mower.

Part of the problem with wanting sound accuracy is that on occasion you will have to put up with cars that don't sound aesthetically pleasing if they didn't sound as such in real life. It's very doubtful that the pseudo-DTM car that the IS-F Racing Concept pretty much is sounded like a Windsor V8, and making it sound like some of the other V8-engined DTM cars was the proper move. It may sound pretty non-distinctive now, but it sounds a lot closer to this than it did before.

 

[CorvetteConquer]

Anyone notice that the start up engine sounds in the garage much better than the in-game sounds? You know, when you get into a car in the garage menu.

I wonder what they used there...

Well said, CorvetteConquer.

 

[Chemenu]

You are right by saying the old sound may wasn't realistic. But the new sound isn't more accurate. If it only would sound anything like that Astra I would be very happy.

Now I'm scared they "optimized" even more car sounds... going to test the Lexus GT500 next.

You're right about the "aesthetically pleasing" thing. I'd rather they were accurate, though, which is why I think games should go above and beyond what is currently offered in the ability to customise a car's sounds - there is a reason YouTube is littered with sound comparison videos. Anyway, should the IS-F not sound more like this?

At least, I'm assuming that the IS-F Racing Concept was "inspired" by that experience, and, I may be wrong, but I don't think the crankshaft configuration is stipulated in the DTM regulations. BMW aren't afraid to swap out the crank for a flat-plane jobbie in the M3 (contrast with Z4 GT3; same-ish engine, different crank).

Well said, CorvetteConquer.

@ CorvetteConquer: there is a difference between a raw recording and a sample prepared for looping ...

Anyway, I think half of the problems related to antagonistic behaviour in these parts is because we're dealing with children, so we should perhaps expect childishness.

 

[Antonisbob]

This is interesting.

 

[Griffith500]

It has its own dedicated thread, and is frankly a bit daft. But to each their own.
