Gran Turismo sounds are significantly improved (!) in latest beta

That is the gearbox, The transmission in race cars uses a different type of gear (straight cut IIRC) which give that distinctive whine noise.
Just gorgeous. Sounds rather nice as well.
Nope definitely the gearbox.

I'm also noticing that the tire sqeal has been improved/used more sparingly.

There's still a lack of throaty midrange growl. And the amount of reverb in the exterior view is really overdone.
I see. Well whatever it is, its drowning out the engine sound that you can hear clearly in the real car video.

Overblown sounds are not good either. Lots of games hollywood it up.
I actually entered this thread wondering about that. Cheers. It's about time Polyphony embraced quality over quantity.

Looks good. Is this a full-fledged GT? Last GT I played was GT3 and I loved the shit out of that.

Looks awesome until I look at the people and the trees. They definitely hired forza devs.

Trees and people I can handle being sacrificed for 60FPS.
On topic, finally some better sounds. Some of the garbage that's been going around for years was beyond a joke.
Lots of things could factor in that. Mic placement for one.
Gearbox noise is very prominent in GT3.
It's okay to admit you didn't know something...truly.

Interesting developments on the audio, I find all of the engines whine a bit too much, in some cases the whine is there but the audio omits the actual guttural sound of the engine. That gluggling horse power grumbling away, its missing in-car, less so out of the car but still not right. While the external replay audio appears to generate an echo as if with hard walls rather than an essence of distance.

Ah, what a relief. I could never tolerate the sounds in Gran Turismo. They were so sterile. I just hope that the rest of the game delivers because I wasn't a big fan of GT5. I very much enjoyed Forza 6.
As much as people give Forza shit about the things off track, I never notice these things while playing the game.

That sounds very similar. Good job to PD on the improvements! I'm sure people will be very happy with them.
Do we know how many cars there will be ?

The one thing it lacks is how sound behaves in the distance + wide open environment,
It's especially jarring now with graphics being almost indistinguishable from real life at times; when the car appears in the distance and sounds like it would with your ear resting on the hood, it just feels wrong.
I hope this can be fixed
But holy shit, it looks unbelievable.

Oh I am admitting I was wrong. But whether I knew what made the high pitch whine or not, doesn't change the fact that it's drowning out the engine sound in the video I posted, which you can clearly hear in the real thing. Although the recent videos that have been posted sound a lot better, they still doesn't sound as aggressive imo.

But aren't real racing cars loud as hell? And don't they have no noise protection so you can hear the car "working" as you're driving it?
Besides in games like Project CARS it's not like that will all the cars. The race cars can sound very aggressive, but the stock road vehicles sounds aren't exaggerated imo.
It was set to launch with 140, all "super-premium" is how they refer to them, but who knows if the long delay has given them time to add more for launch.
In an interview Kaz has said that they want the game to have 4-500 cars in the end.

The post processing and shaders make this game look phenomenal. A lot of the elements on the track are really low-poly, like the guard rails, but they look amazing.
I'd love to see a version of GT1 or Ridge Racer with high internal quality and pumped with this kind of post processing. I think it'd be impressive.

Yes the reverb needs tweaking it sounds like a cathedral, and it sounds like nearby cars shouldn't be fed into the reverb track as much as they are, at least not in this environment. As long as it doesn't switch to in car you can hear the reverb effects continuing from the previous camera angle for ~5 seconds, so it's a pretty straightforward mixing effect, but I think it should work well with some tweaks.

Yes, I myself don't notice them while playing but I do watch replays a lot and even photo mode so it would be jarring. I hope they could somehow allow 3D stuff while replaying or in photomode.
4 to 500? that's a pretty big range
Haha. 400-500.

So Nordschleife is confirmed to be in the game?
Oh, that's very good news.
They're starting over again? I thought they said they had future-proof, high detail master models of all the premium cars since GT5.

Of course. Played the Nordschleife in GTS myself last year during the 24h race at the Nurburgring.
And while GTS may look astonishing and sound at least "ok", the driving itself was outstanding. Sogood.gif

Yeah, not even close. Sounds like there's an inverse U-shaped sound filter where the highs and lows are heavily rolled off, along with some pretty aggressive dynamic range compression. This may not be noticeable on TV speakers or tablet/laptop speakers, but on a decent sound system beyond a cheap soundbar or "1337 gaming yo" headphones it's a night and day difference.
The level of tire sequel is also massively overdone.
Plus, amusingly, the transmission shifts in game are way too slow for a modern sequential racing trans.
For the sound guys out there, it sounds like an old beat-up Shure SM58 with too much foam on it, not enough gain, and too much compression applied.
Not even really into racing games but wow that is impressive
It was confirmed from day 1.

Is there a way to adjust audio volume ingame to make engine sounds much louder than tire squeaks? I need this.

I would go as far as everything that is not a car. Seriously. This is fucking ugly.
