I know there are more significant fixes that need doing regarding sound, but one thing I'd like them to fix is the sound of both R8s and the Huracan.
They all 3 use the same generic V10 sound file, even though the correct specific sound files from FM6 are in the game and are used by the AI.
THIS!
This irks me like crazy as you said - every AI car sounds right but we don't hear them correctly. It's the Huracan and R8s, all the modern-day V12 Lambos (minus the Reventon and Murceilago), the R34, Silvia, M4, Supra etc.
Why do they ALL sound like their FM6 counterparts when they go past you, but when you drive them, it's a generic sound? It is for this reason I didn't get the Porsche pack or HW. Only got BM and Car Pass because they were being offered on sale recently at $5 each if I remember correctly.
Such poor quality - it makes me think if T10 had any say at all in Horizon 3's development apart from sharing a few assets. BTW, this was the first Forza game I had ever pre-ordered. I'll wait next time for reviews and impressions before jumping the gun! And I really despise that generic V8 engine swap sound. Sounds exactly the same in every car.. even the ZL1 shares that same sound. Makes me a bit angry.. makes me wanna shove a FM6 disc down PG's creative director throat and tell him to digest that in order to get the sounds right!! Not too thrilled about investing in a Horizon game again.
Sorry folks, just had to get this out of my system.
Well, it sounds great, but it's entirely wrong. The audio it uses is shared with the BMW M4 and 1997 Supra. None of these cars sound alike in real life. To add insult to injury, apparently the audio they use was recorded from an R33, AND the correct sounds for the Supra and R34 are included with the game but ignored.
It's a mess, I know. The DLC Skyline (the rear-wheel drive one) has the exact same sound as the R34 from FM6. You will also notice virtually no difference in engine/exhaust audio between the C63 Black Series, SLS AMG and Alfa Romeo Competizione. None of these cars sounded alike in FM6 or 5 for that matter, or even Horizon 2.
I'm pretty sure they outsourced car sounds to somewhere in a developing country, just like those Mass Effect guys did with the facial animations!
