GT5 Sounds! Seem Upgraded!

GT5 needs to step up!
I don't get it, GT5P has nice true HD sound for all 7.1 speakers, all cars are recorded .. but yet they don't sound too real.. They miss that GROWL, even on my 7.1 ONKYO system it does not sound as good as 2 channel speaker youtube video recorded with a crappy camera with stock V8 mustang.. WTF!

Hence why people need to stop throwing so much many at this stupid game, people buying like a hdtv just for GT5 i think are crazy.

What do you mean, HD TVs are cheap now, for the 7.1 and HDTV it cost me less then 1,000 bucks, and GT5 is not only game, I will use it for.. Blu ray movies, as well music for 7.1 setup.. 💡
 
^My computer ain't the greatest to play Rfactor, but I'll look it up on Youtube. The cockpit view and hood view for the F2007 in GT5P make it sound a bit better compared to the chase view.
 


Here's one, though it is modded, but this is the sort of thing i expect from PD. Instead we get this annoying crap, it's one of the reasons i stop playing the F1 after a bit.

 
Yes, engine sounds have been a thorn in the side of GT since day 1. They better have overhauled the whole sound system.
 
What I don't get is why can't the PD team get it right? It must not be too hard to record a sound compared to modeling an entire a car.
 
Honestly, I think if PD could add the backfiring and downshifting sounds from rFactor to their F1 car...it would sound damn good...

...though the rFactor sound is quite amazing....c'mon PD you can do it!!! PLEASE!
 
The only problem with a comparison is the rfactor video is with a BAR Honda using a 3.0L V10, the GT5p one is with a 2.4L V8.

When the engines in F1 changed we all remarked how bee like they seemed. it is still not great in GT5P but not as far off as you imagine.

On another note a V10 is exactly how F1 should sound!
 
even the sounds in LFS are great as u can adjust them as u wish, but i wish they could have BOV's in the game too. would sound great on the turbos (once u purchase one) would make it sound so much more better.
 
To tell you the truth I thought the sounds were off, and they are but only slightly now.
YOU MUST PUT YOUR SETTINGS TO SMALL THEATER!!!!!
Trust me on this, I had mine on Large because i figured that would have the best sound for my setup. I was completely wrong, Small is the way to go, sooooo much more intense sound and my buttkicker finally works with it because of the increase in the LFE channel. Trust me on this one, i was a sceptic.
 
In my opinion Forza has got the sounds right. Not 100% but damn close. They still need work on the rotaries.

Go and do this right now...Play with the Z06 on Forza 2 and then play with it on GT5P. HUGE difference, the z06 on Forza actually sounds like the real thing and its LOUD in the game, it feels alive, it feels like a v8. It makes you want to push it harder.

Gran Turismo would be the perfect game if Turn 10 did the sounds, mods/tuning, features and special effects like skid marks etc.. while PD does the graphics, car models and of course the physics. Although they could both team up for the physics as they're both good. Now THAT would be a game!
 
I think PD will win a Top Trumps card for sound, they captured the exact sounds for some cars in previous GT games and now i reckon they will do it for all cars in GT5.
 
I think engine sounds enhance the experience of driving games significantly. Although there has been some improvement since GT4, the engines still don't sound organic or 'raw' enough. If you compare to Forza Motorsport 2, some of the cars sound great giving you a heightened sense of excitement. I really think that this is an issue PD needs to address.
 
still not sure about the sounds, They are still a bunch of hair dryers.

I even see the smoke from the tires is still appalling, and no tire marks on tracks? :s
 
Anyone remember the sounds from Vision Gran Turismo trailer? It's still in youtube. I think it's way back from 2006. Even the Prologue trailers before it was released sounded great. I just don't know why PD is messing up in this department. Kaz should listen to Supercar Challenge's engine sound with all its straight cut gear goodness... minus the stupid gear change noise.

oh. my. god. That just makes me feel like I'm really at the track. Listen to the difference in those engines. Glorious. I'm pretty sure GT will NEVER sound like this. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised by GT5 but I expect nothing of this sort from a GT game.

I don't like slandering PD, but they don't actually seem to have an appreciation for the sounds of race cars. They send echoing wails for miles around, and in GT, you can't hear one when it's 20 yards infront of you.

PD have done incredible things in other areas and recreated race cars to a graphical standard that is almost beyond belief, which is why it makes the sound so confusing. If I was Kaz I would be tearing the office up saying "WHY CAN'T YOU GET THIS RIGHT!?!?!", and with his perfectionism, I can't understand why he's not doing that. The engine is the heart and soul of a car, and every one has a unique and hair-raising sound. GT sounds have no soul, and I won't hold my breath for it to suddenly change.

With how bad the sounds are I find that highly doubtful.

At most they record the incar idle sound and then change the volumn/frequency as you rev the car.

GT5:P sounds like this

A real F430 sounds like this
 
It's very disappointing isn't it. Especially when alot of other car games are doing the sounds very well. Even modders are doing a great job. You would think a perfectionist like Kaz would pay very special attention to the sound of the car but I guess its not that important to him. At least the physics are great. I'd be happy even if GT had GTR2 sounds. At least they have some sort of feeling....and there only wav samples!
 
All of the last few trailers (GT5 Trailer - R35 backfire) had great sounds, but it all comes back to a blender once its actual gameplay. Kaz should appoint new people for his sound department.
