Turn off the Pc. Buy the Mrs some choccies, put on a good film and dim the lights. You may get lucky and get some different action.

Right one sounds better because he is playing GT5 Prologue SPEC 1. For some reason PD reduced car sound quality in SPEC 2 and 3.

Here is a little comparison.

SPEC 1

SPEC 2 or 3

epic fail of common sense and logic here!

comparing a video where sound is recorded off some speakers in a room - first vid - where there maybe some sound enhancement, plus room acoustics in effect, to one that is direct capture through a cable - 2nd vid

they're probably the exact same sound!! :crazy:

BTW I have a spec 3 Prologue here and it sounds a little better than the 2nd vid, bass seems to have gone missing
I made this vid - the sound is direct capture through an optical digital cable. What you hear is exactly what the PS3 puts out, minus some sound compression degradation

No they don't. There is noticeable difference between SPEC 1 and SPEC 2.
I noticed the difference a long time ago when I updated GT5P from SPEC 1 to SPEC 2. And SPEC 2 update didn't just change sound of Nissan GTR. All cars sounded different after update.
My information is not only based on those videos.

Dude.. I know you have great ears, I've seen you around and about in the GT5 sound thread, but check this post:

https://www.gtplanet.net/forum/showpost.php?p=3860316&postcount=14624

Does your initial gut feeling make you believe both samples are the same? They sound poles apart! Maybe you could explain how the pitch could be altered through room dynamics. For example, the raspyness in the second video could be down to distorting tv speakers. It also sounds a little echo'y. The only way i can describe the difference myself is the first video sounds more like, digital. Does that make sense?
 
That spec1 vid sounds much closer to the real Nissan V6! I didn't know they are actually trying to make the sound worse over time??...wtf...

Shift sounds no where near authentic, it sounds dramatic but not authentic.

I think people complaiing about the engine sounds in GT5 have got it wrong, the engine notes are fine. There is something missing, but I think it has more to do with the way thoes notes resonate inside the car than the notes themselves. Some games try to replicate that by making the notes more powerful and to a degree succeed. Games like Shift enhance the sounds to stupid levels and throws in mechanical whines and noises that shouldn't even be there. GT5's engine sounds if anything lack power, but the notes themselves are generally pretty good.

I think thats the most logical explanation behind why the sounds in games don't seem quite right. Infact to expand on that, I think it might also be balancing them as well. As you pointed out, some make the notes more powerful while others enhance too much and paste very annoying gear whines (Shift being the worst at this as many have noticed). I think the overall balance between power that can be heard while not over doing it to unrealistic levels is whats the overall big issue.
 
The reduced tyre noises from spec 1, maybe they are related I don't know.

They did indeed.

I think the engine sounds did improve over the course of Prologue updates. But not by a huge amount. (The tyre sounds definitely improved)

I feel some people may be disappointed. From the SuperGT cars we have seen, the sounds are still not good enough for those who are after full engine noise authenticity. They're probably the best indicatication because they are racing cars, as opposed to road cars that may have engine sounds copied directly from Prologue.
 
What the heck? That SPEC I sounds miles better! It actually sounds like a gt-r.

Get a decent set of speakers and crank up the volume...?

I have a decent system and I've cranked up the volume but my gt-r never sounded anything like that (Japanese prologue, latest spec.)

The TT demo on the other hand sounded phenomenal.

And sorry for the off-topic

I have the blu-ray version with the GT-R on the front. It doesnt say spec'X' on it anywhere, so I might try installing on a new profile and see what happens. Sounds like it'd work. In theory



This. How do i do this?
Click to expand...

LOL you are experts here, why nobody answer the question ( or I missed it?!).

You remove Spec III simply by deleting the game data under Game Data on your PS3 ( not ! savegame!), doesn't matter if you have english or japanese version as there is difference between each Spec... so you'll go back to II or respectively I.
You can't just switch accounts, this will not set the Spec back.
Be warned, as we all learned, updating again can take a very long time.

BTW I was pretty happy with Spec II, III did just make everything worse, especially the RTA stuff.

What? :boggled: If you ask me, complaining about the AI opponents having names is even more pointless than complaining about the trees.
Click to expand...

If you ask me having driver names constantly above the cars in white (or green or whatever letters) is no issue at all, cause I will not play such a game.
That's beyond arcadish. :dunce:

I don't see any names hovering above the AI cars in these clips. ;) And in all honesty, even if this were the case, I couldn't care less. How does a trivial detail like that automatically make this game arcadish? :odd:
 
Btw for all of you ! I just installed Spec 1 again.. and guess whaat?!

The sound of the GT-R is almost exact the same as in Spec III ;) No big difference , maybe it is even the same...

Yeah I said it was the same.... :)

The GT-R in Prologue was one of the better sounding cars
 
Nevermind....

I can only assume that the car's performance makes it PREMIUM.
And if that's an indication that it has interior damage and panels falling off, maybe the folks at PD want the car wrecked as much as possible.
 
It can only mean good things if production cars are considered premium (or at least supercars).

But I still don't think any production car will be premium with an interior view (interior referring to the innards of the car: engine bay, opened trunks, panels falling off, etc)
 
The ZR1 could be premium, but it looks like the Audi R8 was as well from that video, Wasn't that car in prologue.

Could that mean all the car in prologue were premium too, and we have not even seen the standards models yet. A very scary thought! :mad:
 
I just hope standard model cars have a dashboard view!

Also the sense of speed looks perfect!
 
The way I see it is, Premium cars have the engine, chassis, boot, etc. modeled/damageable and the regular cars will look just like GT5P cars, with no damage and no chassis, boot, etc. modeled.
 
Why is it a bad thing that the Vette is a premium model?

Anyway, I noticed the driver of the Corvette was wearing a red suit, not the usual yellow one. Maybe this hints a driver avatar.

Apparently, people are under the impression that premium means its one of the few cars with all the interior damage modeling or some useless nonsense. Either way, its really meaningless. Besides, there is a Mustang in GT5P with "premium" in its name yet for some reason, no one went nuts over it. oh well, in before the "OMG, GT5P haz premiums too?!!" comments.

That was interesting to notice. One sure does hope we get the Tourist Trophy treatment with our drivers. That way, no one will look like bob.
 
What if, the premium models are DLC cars and PD will go T10 on us. :lol: That would make everyone explode. :lol: I hope I'm wrong.
