The new mazdaspeed 3, new Viper GTS, maybe some refreshed BMW, Audi, Benz line up and some awesome SUV’s. It should be in GT6. :)
I would rather have the Ford Model A.
The engine sound of the HSV-010 is pretty much the same as the GT by Citroen Race Car.
The exhaust note for the car at high RPM sound like it’s angry & ferocious!
Just bought a DFGT
:D
yea we got 3 DLCs so now PD won’t do absolutely anything because they gave us sooooo many DLCs :D:D:D:D:D pathetic :(
By my count that’s been seven DLCs and that’s including one as the grouped packs at the starts. No one knows if that’s it – they might are done with DLC yet. So why is that pathetic?
*that should be: the grouped packs at the start counting as one (instance)…
Is this car stock without the turbo upgrade etc? Because I can only manage a time of 1:43 with the DS3 Controller.
Stock, well, at least no turbo – you could always look in the settings and it’ll tell you what has been installed.
To be honest I was kinda underwhelmed by the sound of HSV, but oh well. :lol: I really hope PD change the sound for GT6. Not to offend anyone, but this recyling sound is really getting old. I appreciate the sound for some 4 cylinder engine in GT5, but bigger than that (the majority) they are really boring and repetitive with other cars sounding the same….. I’m pretty sure the blu ray disk can hold an uncompressed sound and the whole car/track, and the game model at the same time judging by the size of GT5 in dual layer disk. SO PD PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN!
I would love to see the Ken block fiesta in gt5 that would be my car of choice to download hopefully PD put more rally cars in the game aswell
I would have preferred the HSV-010 test model over this one. We got the IS-F Racing Concept that we could paint, PD should have given us a blank slate with this car as well….
This would have helped some with customization, but nothing for the sound…..would have loved the real HSV’s note.
or a stealth version
Kaz & PD, I gotta say:
THE GOOD,
the dynamics of how the cars handle, suspension wise is AWESOME, GoodJob..
Car Tire Wear-more- REALISTIC-FINALLY-PERFECT-more grip on all, med should always be more desired for racing. I dont know if the crash damage was updated as well, but great job as well, seems like your putting more energy into that very important aspect. I just got and played last night since the update, & my car on the Nurburgring handle so much more realistic with bumps to curbs, to flipping when i hit grass and slid hard into a wall, EXCELLENT JOB-Really.. The N-24 very difficult to control, especially with heavy braking on cornering, keeping the car stable- AWESOME- was hoping all the cars handled more realistic, forcing people to handle corners with more car a little more like in a real race-prepped car….VERY HAPPY with that..Oh yah, the Honda is Great..I dont buy street cars though(Subaru-RM woulda been cool)
The Bad:
N24-No DOWNFORCE- ya kidding me, same with the GT Acad. GTR(Special-Tuned), I thought it was just a fluke, but come-on- REALLY? You guys just pressed for time so ya didn’t get the chance to give the wings down-force, Very-Dissapointed. The N-24 weighing a million kg’s??? Last years is still more useful, was excited to get a liter car we could use for a race, so did you go more towards a stock GTR, less race-prepped, looked slimmed down, but not at all,—heavy–…But I guess ya cant have it all… GOOD JOB OVERALL
KEEP-UP-the Good-Work- REMEMBER—DRIVING SIM—- REALISTIC=’s GOOD
ahhh,thats why i rolled,i knew it wasnt MY fault!!!
This HSV-010 is fantastic around Suzuka, especially through the Esses. Had great fun playing it last night…..so 79p well spent!
It’s a shame the sound is not as good as its real life counterpart. After all, that was one of the main highlight of this car.
I don’t get why people keep making such a big deal of the engine sounds, i can recognize the sounds aren’t the best but so what? just because the sound isn’t great that means you can’t enjoy the car for how it looks like? or how it drives like? Just chill out guys, everyone been complaining for some new cars (including the HSV-010) and now that you got it it’s not good enough?
Maybe because the way a car sounds is part of the reason why people like them so much in the first place. Just because it’s not important to you doesn’t mean it’s not important to other people. The HSV sounds incredible in real life and it’s a shame PD didn’t even try to capture it’s awesome sound.
I support MuoNiuLa’s opinion on this matter.
+1…. It is something that just should have been do. The fake sound sample is a bummer.
Imagine FM4 getting the HSV-010, than you’ll see how much people will say its worth it. Not just the car itself. It’s very stupid how PD never captures the cars sounds. They’re so blend and boring to hear, you gotta put up the musics volume.
Sorry but, PD fails yet again on engines because they’re LAZY.
+2 @MuoNiuLa
When Honda prepared the HSV for Super GT, they specifically picked an exhaust to amplify the HONDA SOUND they wanted. When the HSV debut everyone in Super GT was awed by this machine’s sound. It sounded like a Formula car. It was unbelievable. You could hear it half way around the track and you’ll know it’s the HSV coming through the next corner over the sounds of the GTR and SC430s. It was the scream of Honda engines. Honda put time into that machine to make it sound like.
Alot of car manufacturers around the world fine tune every bit of sound coming from the car. Especially Audi where they claim even the sound of the door on a car closing could be changed.
If car makers around the world put such emphasis on the sound of cars why shouldn’t PD? After all it took them 5 years to make this game because they wanted this game to be super detailed.
It’s a SHAME and Blasphemous for the HSV-010 to sound like this. I am VERY disappointed.
I like the way the HSV drives, but I don’t like the sound or the fact that you can do nothing to change the appearance of the car.
Its normal, the car is already changed
The sound is horrendous.
I’m kinda disappointed, that PD charges us for the new cars (I do understand it with the HSV, but not with the BRZ and ’12 GT-R 24H)
Model looks good, and I srsly couldn’t care less about the sound.
3DS Max, the software they use to model cars and tracks, costs $3,000 per computer. And we thought we were paying a lot for one car. A buck a car sounds like a fair deal to me.
I thought they used 3DS Maya?
It is 3D Maya :o)
Cost prize is Ok – Regardless of the prize of 3D program hehe which isn’t to do with what prize DLC’s cost’ at all ..
PD isn’t a amateurish Modding Crew, it’s big homogeneous Sony Company for god sake – so who cares about the cost they have .. well one does apparently hehe..
This car sounds like Lexus SC430 and it sounds worse than my vacuum cleaner
The Honda sounds like the Lexus???? your not very smart if thats what your saying, Honda sounds awesome—Gots–Big-Balls—-
Releasing a product with such poor sound,when the rest of the car is great is an unfinished job.$1.75 in Australia too,thats $1.75 USD also…:(
No it’s not…
It’s only $0.99 in the US.
Right, because every single professional race car driver in the world, got into the risky, exhilarating & plain deadly career of motorsport racing because THEY LIKE HOW THE CARS SOUND!!! LMFAO!
Still not seeing the big picture, I see.
Actually, what Ryno is talking about IS the big picture – about the thrill of racing…
except we’re not racers, we’re car enthusiasts as well, that INCLUDES the sound they make.
Also a fair point…
the sound is half the feeling that raises your pores when you stamp on the gas the idle of the car the sound of the clutch engaging those are HUGE factors wouldnt it be a shame if a corvette sounded like a scooter in real life? lol
If you want that, grab a Zonda R.
I mean i agree, the sound is important. i wouldn’t go as far as to say half the thrill, maybe 30%. lets wait for gt6 to see what PD is really made of and besides, yes alot of cars dont sound like the real deal but there are quite a few that do.
Glad we finally got te hsv, I’ve even dying for it for ages! Now that its here I’m content with waiting for gt6 without dlc. However it would t hurt if they have us some more liveries, like the amazig raybrig livery.
The sound is ridiculous. One of their generic sounds they use for 100 cars in the game.
