The new C-klasse is in GT5. Not sure which model. Either the C350 Sport or the C63

[Duphman]

And suddenly the wish list crowd shows up. Good job man. We really need another wish thread.

 

[Kryz11]

Ahh calm down. Today is great day for M-B fans.
C63 !

 

[Jay]

And also VIPERGTSR01 wants us to spend a few hours searching for what car that rim belongs to. XD

Hehe, You don't have to, I tried a while ago but nothing matched close enough.

They record sound from the exterior and interior of the car. As well as at every gear and RPM. And if its a convertible? Of course they capture how it sounds with the top down and with the top up. Can you say OCD?? They sound recordings from inside and outside the car. When all the gear and RPM. And if you open it? Of course, if covered with a roof and take the sound of both. Only a minor?

Jeesh, you'd think all that OCD could produce engine sounds that don't sound like a pitch-shifted vacuum cleaner.

i hate to say this but in NFS underground it seemed the car sounds were a lot better than any gran turismo had to offer.... GT really needs to work on the sounds more

 

[L_Hamilton]

OMG!! new C class!!!
BMW M3 is always 1 second faster pretty much on any track on average.
But hey with only few laps, if Benz get's a good start it might win!!
This might be first Benz C class to compete with M3... well except the Great EVO II benz but thats diffrent story

I cant wait to see CLK DTM ( not actual race car DTM) and CLK 63 black

That DTM pretty much compares with Ferrari's and Lambos.. way faster then newer 63 black, and for sure way faster then any BMW M series.

I would take that over any LAMBO anytime!

I love M-B
I think MB should partner with GT just like Citroen, Nissan, etc.

Don't you guys think CLK should compare with M3s? I am not talking about CLK DTM.. but CLK is two door just like the M3 coupe as well they are just about the same size... am I right?

I would never race. I would just be in the side of the track creaming my pants to the rumble of the V8 and exhaust.

NFS is crap compared to the realism of sound offered by Prologue on stock cars. What NFS can do however is offer engine sounds that sound like the real engines when modified, instead of like in Prologue where you have a V10 Viper that from the exterior of the car still sounds like a 4cyl.

Um, EA kicks the **** out of Polyphony and even Turn10 in the sound department. If there is one thing EA can do right, it's record engine sounds. And even if some of the modified ones sound like crap, they sure as hell sound a lot better than PD's vaccuum cleaners.

 

[Jay]

I think much of the standard car sounds are quite accurate in GT5P, after checking real samples with GT5P versions (not perfect), I agree with paulie that the modified sounds need much more work that standard cars in GT.

I remember last I played NFS the sounds gave much more of a meaty sound but often overdone in standard cars. Also The way the sounds played often sounded repeated like their sound algorithm was off, hard to explain, but the sound it self was definitely more satisfying.

 

[MasterFocus]

what about the very first pictures?? wich track is it??

forget that its Daytona xD

 

[unv412]

I remember last I played NFS the sounds gave much more of a meaty sound but often overdone in standard cars. /QUOTE]

you see , I'd prefer to hear a more meatier and overdone sound in a gameing sense as I now only play cockpit view, which is very muffled and overtaken by wind noises and such. I do agree most cars sound true to life (except for the proper load charactarisics) but the other games (EA & turn 10) do make stock cars sound so much nicer to race with.

 

[spyrrari]

Well it isn't really the end because we still haven't solved the "red car mystery". And also VIPERGTSR01 wants us to spend a few hours searching for what car that rim belongs to. XD

my first thought about the red car whas a mazda mx5 ....

but that could be wrong....


spyrrari.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

In the pic with that red rear, he has a scalemodel infront of his keyboard. A clue to the red car?

 

[Marky264]

LOL funniest thing i've heard all day!

Anyways great news thanks OP woop! love the C63, Also imo that panel of the red car looks like a Honda Del Sol nearest thing i could think of but thats what i think lol, Crazy Fiat 500! and that drawing of gauges looks like the new 370Z by the looks of it

It's not an Miata, I've already searched all those. Someone else (Marky264) thought it could be the Del Sol, something I originally floated as it's just soooo close. So thanks Duphman for adding that to the opening description.

I don't know, that looks a lot like the back end of a second-gen(NB) MX-5/Miata to me.

 

[Stevisiov]

That's exactly what I though, but comparing to the picture on screen now, I am not so sure.

 

[Mt. Lynx]

Hard-top Miata?

Wow the C63 is in!!, as a huge MB fan im glad to see my favourite current Merc in game! I would have been happy with any current gen C-Class. I hope more of the current line is in aswell as the Black Series.

I wonder what programs they are using, the pic looks very much like Alias Imagestudio / Maya which is a 3D render.

I know the "old car" dash shot turned out to be a Fiat, some where saying 300SL but dont worry shots of the gullwings interior on PD's screens were revealed a while back so its still in! Heres a cap if you didnt see it originally.

I totally agree, NFS dominates over PD in audio, everything still sounds weezy and electronic... sure it may sound better on a digital surround sound system but the point is it should sound just as authentic on a mono speaker box TV! Cars like the Gallardo for example scream violently on Most Wanted and thats how it should sound! EA can keep the rest

Pity we still havent seen one shot of damage but it good to get any new news, actually quite a bit has been revealed from these pics alone.

Ive never seen one with TEST printed on it before... gosh I want one!

My brother tested the CLK-DTM here in Holland a couple of years ago for Autoblog.nl and he said he nearly S*** his pants... its so fast.... So if it does come it will be one to enjoy!!

Custom made ring a bell?

 

[Christhedude]

The question was already answered this morning.

The same goes for Mine's GT-R too

ah ok thanks.

Just on the side note, the SL55 AMG in GT5: P sounds considerable decent for an V8 Kompressor, so PD made a step towards a great sounding engine.

[zazaza]

Awesome news! Look at the boxes, there's a 300ZX and some D1 car.

My dad brought a TEST PS2 back home one day, back when he was working for evolution studios, they are cool but it had a rather unusual looking device plugged it to where the network box slots in, I have no idea if they all come like that. The game in it was a was a very early build of the WRC evolved game, I believe it will run games straight off the DEV which a normal PS2 can't but other than that it is pretty much identical to a normal PS2.

 

[TheCracker]

 

[LongbowX]

I don't know, that looks a lot like the back end of a second-gen(NB) MX-5/Miata to me.

The main reason why it couldn't be that Miata (which I admit also extremely close) is that the exhaust would be seen in the photo.

The same for the newer MX-5 Miata Hardtop Convertible.

So your Dad's PS2 said TEST on it aswell?, then they must have been produced like that (similar to the Playstation 3 Test), not just a one off. Interesting to hear that it had some kind of debug / dev device shoved into the network port, probably to bypass all regional and security settings aswell as give full access to the graphics card etc. If only you could have kept it, would be a collectors item! I guess its just the novelty of TEST in PS2 writing that makes it special. Just like the early external HDD unit.

I wonder if PD are still using that unit or its just there gathering dust in the office... maybe they are working on a new PS2 title or using it to dev for the PSP. Can anyone here read Japaniese and translate the sticker on it?

That would be the case if it was a finished render. But with no rear light lenses it clearly isn't.

That's very true, that is a possibility.

Also another thing occurred, that there is a bump in the middle of the trunk for that Miata. But it's very hard to tell, even when I run it through photoshop. It's possible we just can't see it.

I grant it an official possibility *stamps*

I guess we'll find out when then game is released. XD

 

[TorqueHappenS08]

so......mx5,370z,c63 fiat 600, bmw mz4 coupe with tsucuba circate in the back ground.
that is a mx5, that mirror is clearly off the mx5 imo
