The BEST thing about GT4 (music)

[Daddybird]

I use it only in replays, I want to hear my engine while driving

Same here.

The music is great tho, D.S (Daiki Kasho) is awesome.

 

[HakiraDyson]

Does anyone know the name of the two songs in the E3 2K4 trailers?

 

[spazzyfry123]

A little off-topic but still on in a way ...

I've got an iPod and a USB cord...So is there anyway that that could work...? Like turn off the music in GT4 and have the iPod played with all the car effects and all? I'm no computer genius and I know nothing about this stuff...so any help will be appreciated

 

[S31Ender]

you know, you can buy these cables, they combine two signals...................you plug the RCA A/V cables into one side from the PS2 and then the Audio RCA cables from your headset (get the ones that have the little headset prong on one side and RCA cables on the other.....) and then plug the whole unit into the back of your stereo...............then take the visual cable from the PS2 and plug it into your TV..............................

or just turn the TV on and listen to the cars in that and music in stereo.................but then you lose the stereo quality of the cars.........oh well.

 

[Nemo2]

I always just turn off the music and go for the pure driving experience with just engine noises....mmmmmmmrrrrrrrgggggggg (shift up) mmmmmmmmmmmmmrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggg....etc

Yeah, I've tried that with my ipod, but I want everything to be coming out of my surround sound...any help?!

When I was in Japan I found quite alot of Japanese people that could speak basic english. I do emphasize very basic english.

As someone who spent 1.5 years near hiroshima with the military. i agree this this statement.

 

[HondaRacer]

Just for a laugh I turned the Snoop song back on, is it just me or is that the worst song in the history of recorded music?

Hey, I like "Dogg's Turismo 3."
I even downloaded it to my computer. 👍




LOL!

 

[JohnBM01]

I actually kind of liked GT3's BGM when you fail a license test. Sometimes, I intentionally own myself just to hear the music when you fail a license test or regulation Time Trial. GT3 didn't have too many songs I wanted to but onto my Playlist. I just put on only the rap stuff at first (Snoop Dogg and Raekwon of the Wu-Tang Clan (perhaps one of the best big groups since the N.W.A.)). Then I kind of went with all the electronica, like from Daki Kasho (is that the name of the one who did most of those original tracks?). While GT1 didn't have really good sound, I have a secret liking for GT1's music. Even the menu music for the car dealers was pretty good. The TVR theme is one of my favorites. But since GT2, I don't mind the jazzy stuff. I like almost any kind of music, just not a big rock fan. In fact, GT1's "Lose Control" was pretty cool, I thought.

But I agree with the one talking about the Tokyo Game Show video for Gran Turismo 4. I still think Namco is kind of the king of electronica themes in games, but that was a nice track. I'd love racing at Le Mans or some wonderful city course with that song playing.

That's all. Just wanted to talk music because you all are great folks.

 

[JBR-Man]

I like the music only on Replays.
Engine noise is essential while driving.

But I like very very much the japanese school. The OST sounds perfect with Masahiro Andoh.

It remembers some classic SEGA themes, some made by Koshiro. But the feeling of listening close to Liquid Tension Experiment or Transatlantic or Planet X is perfect while watching a replay. It fits perfectly and seems that we are watching a TV programme about cars or something (just like the ones I watch in Deustche-Welle).

Moon Over the Castle is perfect, but i would like to get lyrics (latin or italian, couldn't get it). Green Monster is another one that remembers progressive metal for me. It also remembers that I could be playing Ace Combat series with that Instrumental Chorus.

I bought the game and i want to enjoy it 200%. So every detail is worth of discussion.

 

[pthree]

So far, my favorite track from the GT series is the very first one I heard: the intro to NA GT1. Y'know, the Chemical Brothers remix of "Everything Must Go" by the Manic Street Preachers. Such a great track! Very hard to find, too... there's the original 12" vinyl out of print, then it was in the "Brothers Gonna Work It Out" set, and GT1. I haven't seen it used anyplace else, and it's a shame.

As for in-game music, let's not forget that gem "Super Bon Bon" in GT2.

 

[Drift-Kid]

only prob i have with any GT music is you can haerdly hear it....i hop you can turn it up in GT4......but i mainly use the music for replays....i just listen to a cd during races and of course my engine

 

[neurokinetik]

A couple things to answer previous posts:

1. You can adjust the music volume independent of sound effects in the game. You can adjust separately the menu music, replay music, and in-race music.

2. The classical selections are by default assigned to slideshow presentations (using your photo mode pics), not normally used for racing music.

 

[nightkid86]

There should only be racing music if you put a sound system in the car you are driving. lol. that would be so stupid.

Thanks for confirming that. I rarely had the music on in GT3 when racing. But it would have been nice to turn up the music volume from time to time.

Cheers, Jamie

I don't know if we still use this phrase in pop culture, but "Super Bon Bon" was "da' BOMB" in GT2. GT2 had little music I liked, I mean, really liked in terms of humming them to myself.

Watching some of the videos from the North American GT4 Official Site, I seen the two videos under Car Element/Customization when you tune a car up. Actually the Tuning Shop theme is a slower, groovier version of the GT3 tune shop music. I tend to like this new variation of this song. And the Tuner Cars theme sounds more like the very first screen when you enter GT2's Simulation Mode. If that's not clear, then it's the music played when you shop for wheels in GT2 (which is the same theme). Again, it was another nice variation. When I get GT4, I'll have my eyes on owning that S2000 GT1. That thing was sick! Maybe not in GT2, but by looks alone, would be very interesting to see take on the Corvettes, Ferraris, and the beautiful Aston Martins that will race at Sebring next month.

In terms of in-game music, I guess GT4 has sort of gone with cool (as in mellow), hip-hop and maybe some light electronica. Although I do sort of imagine what progressive trance would be like in a GT game. I seen James Brown mentioned in the music with some sort of pop remix or something. I already heard James Brown in "GTA: San Andreas," especially when you hit the casinos in Las Venturas, so a remixed JB in a GT game? Interesting...

After a while though, I turn the music off. But if I feel like listening, I'll be sure to pick a song. Customizing your own play list was one of the coolest things about GT3 rather than hearing the same song in a long race 5 or 25 times until the race is over.

One more thing. VipFreak, with that long list... you OWN all! 👍

You forgot Pearl Jam. Pop the album rearviewmirror in and see what I mean (especially songs like Once).

But number 1 should be the ultimate driving anthem - Cake's The Distance!

 

[Bonedwarf]

I was stunned they included classical in the game! By default the music selection is arse, so I've tinkered with the playlist. Went through every song and listened to it and nuked it, or added it to the playlist. Gotta have it for the replays. There's some good stuff in there I have to say. Okay, fair amount of crap, but I think everyone will find a few tracks to love.

And Yello's "Oh Yeah" is now known as "the failure music" in my apartment

Makes me feel so damn old. I bought the original album that was on almost 20 years ago!

How on earth do you do that?

 

[Joecool593]

How on earth do you do that?

Fool around in the Jukebox mode in GT4 Simulation Mode (or wutever they call that mode in the fourth game)...that's bound to be where you do it. Personally I like the music in GT4 at least beter than GT3, although, admittedly, I find myself turning down the volume on my TV quite often. My fave song on the game HAS to be Judas Priest - Freewheel Burning. That and they need more songs by The Crystal Method. Especially Blood Rave..(That song they play in the vampiric raver club in Blade I)

 

[JohnBM01]

You know, now that I've played this game at about 73 or 74 percent after not playing it in a while (just haven't got around to it), one of the more recent classical melodies I've played was that Mozart tune. I'm not very knowledgeable with Classical Music (even though I've openly admitted to listening to Charlotte Church and Sarah Brightman in the past), but that Mozart track is pretty nice. The thrill of high speed can sometimes make for some nice classical music. That's actually surprising to me. I am also a big fan of Frenchman Erik Satie's "Gymnopedie I," or whatever it's called. It's a short, yet lovely track. Kind of enjoyed it while I was racing my Power House Amuse S2000 GT1 around Clubman Stage Route 5 in GT4.

If you like classical but still into rock, the opening song is perhaps your song to enjoy. Sometimes, I'm still stunned by the lovely classical opening and the sweet graphics.
