Bet you can't. Now show some proof that you can. Back up your claims that they don't use engines to get their samples, because you have no proof. It's unsubstantiated opinion, and not fact.
Your quite right, and as you have been doing a perfectly good job of countering that I have had no need to get involved.
Funny how Scaff isn't hopping on this unlike with the Forza claims/exaggerations.
This however is not a smart way of addressing it.
If you feel a post is breaking the AUP then use the report button or PM a mod, don't however publicly accuse a member of staff of ignoring it as they are biased.
Now to be clear its not being accused of bias I have an issue with (and I will come back to this in a minute), its that I have ignored my job. The staff do not have time to read every post in every thread, that's why the report button exists. So I would strongly advise thinking a little more in future before making accusations of that nature again.
Now in regard to bias, I have to say that I find your claim to be unbiased more than a little unrealistic. Every person on the planet (bar a few with specific conditions) carries an inherent bias on any topic. That's simply the way we are programmed, and I must confess to being very wary of anyone who opens a statement with something along the lines of 'I'm not biased, but.....'.
Simply put everyone is biased, which then only leaves those who are aware of the bias' they carry and acknowledge them (as I and Slip have done in countless posts both here and on GT Planet) and those who hide them or are unaware of them.
You quite clearly have a bias for GT5, that's not a problem I have a bias for FM4 (and the 4 is important), the problem is that you don't acknowledge it. That denial of something that is quite clear to just about everyone here, actually hampers your ability to get your point across.
Now my input on the whole sound thing, taken as a whole FM4 wins this one for me, that's not however to say its perfect.
FM4 has improved the soundstage and placement significantly from previous releases (in which it may well have not existed at times) and toned down some of the more aggressive sounding smaller cars.
GT5 also improved things, the issue was that you first needed a good AV system to take advantage of it, as the compression on non LPCM audio is plain nasty to my ears. Listen to GT5 through a good AV and then through a flat-screen built in speakers and it is a totally different experience. More of a difference that should be.
Now an example of the difference between the two titles would be the Cobra SC I've used a lot for testing. At idle and a second gear pull away I have to say that GT5 gets this one, it sounds stunning, however in a title with 99.9% rolling starts you never get to hear it. The same car in GT5 at higher revs sounds nothing at all like the real deal, and almost sounds as if it was recorded with no actual load on the engine.
So yes you are quite right that at time GT5 does get it right, however like so much of the title for me, its only a small quantity of what is a massive majority of poor sounding cars and massively re-used sounds.
