Fear of looping engine sounds..

[Hector Tavares]

Lately it seems that a lot of new sandbox-style games released after GTA IV have vehicles containing looping (or repeating) engine sound clips. This in my opinion can get very annoying after a short amount of time when all you hear if your car shifting gears over and over again. Games like this include Grand Theft Auto San Andreas (when going up a hill, jumping, or on train tracks), Saints Row The Third and Sleeping Dogs which have vehicles with rather loud engine sound effects that loop endlessly. With that being said, yes I do have a slight fear that Rockstar might go down that dark, annoying path and have looping engine sound effects. Due to lack of gameplay videos, we can't conclude otherwise. Do you folks think that GTA V might have looping engine sounds?

[Paper Mario]

I never really payed attention to that to be honest.

[Apex]

No way, GTA IV didn't and I'm going to cry if they do it.

[Alenko]

Yeah, getting tired of the cars sounding like electric vacuums. haha.

GTA IV didn't have them, EFLC didn't have them, Red Dead Redemption didn't have them and neither will V. Doesn't matter what other games do in there game to be honest with you.

[RedDragonsBOOM]

I just hope their engine sounds are better than every previous GTA, IMO its always been a very weak showing from Rockstar in their engines. They all sound too quiet(muted) and fake(completely fabricated) They should really take some samples from real cars or make better damn fabrications. This game is 3/4ths about driving at least I mean AUTO is in the title, you would think their AUTOS would sound better.

Almost all car sounds were horrible in IV...When I closed eyes I did pretend to ride a vacuum cleaner

[MuXu96]

peoples have fears..I'm happy I don't care about smth like this^^

 

 

[BUT THE BENZ]

I won't buy V if engine sounds sound looped. OBVIOUSLY

Red Dead Redemption? haha

Is this meant to be sarcasm!?

 

Everyone here is going to buy the game regardless, and they aren't going to bring out a brand new game and make it worse. Don't be silly.

 

[crispypistonx8]

AND CAN WE GET SOME SERIOUS V8 RUMBLE. I mean god damn give me one pick-up truck er a muscle car, anything with open headers...

[CryptReaperDorian]

I hope none of the vehicles in GTA V sound like the Sultan RS from GTA IV. That constant, high-pitched "PSH!" (not exactly sure what makes that noise, not really a mechanical guy) made me want to stick a screwdriver in my ears.

Red Dead didn't even have (drivable) cars.

Yeah don't you remember those extremely fast 4 Horse Power carts.

[Lioshenka]

I know, I was so sick of this in GTA IV. Hopefully, they will use better souds this time.

To post something related:

Yes, I hope GTAV will have proper car sounds cause GTAIV sounded way too weak. Especially the sports cars. Imagine Forza Sounds in GTAV. AWESOME!

That would be the blowoff valve,at least it sounds different tham the other cars.

[Korisselys]

was there any driving in the press demo?

[Agni]

uh...that's a turbo blow-off valve and it's one of the most awesome sounds on the planet.

Pretty much, the Sultan RS was the most wicked sounding car on that entire game. I hope they add turbo addons for V in the customization.

I hope that the Comet can get a upgraded Turbo that adds the BOV .

[Mr. Scratch]

Scrue the bov,I want to put a supetcharger on the Sabre.

Oh you. You hate everything that is related to IV. The only car in IV that sounded horrible was the Turismo(it sounded like an electric razor with a gearbox, lol).

I thought the cars in IV sounded weak, albeit not terrible. There was no excitement and they just weren't loud enough. You'd think driving a Murcielago knockoff through skinny streets surrounded by concrete towers would create a nice, screaming, echo but no. All you got was some bland ass noise.

 

The cars in V need to sound distinct and exciting. Exhausts need pop and crackle, they also need to create thrills. It seems even racing games lack in this though; for example Forza Horizon's cars sounded distinct in nice but they didn't sound exciting.

[Naean]

Didn't the sports cars exclusive to The Ballad of Gay Tony improve (If only slightly.) on the vehicle sounds? I swear they were noticeably better than Grand Theft Auto IV's sports cars in terms of the sounds they used. Perhaps I'm remembering wrongly, though....

YES! I found that all the super-cars sounded the same. The car sounds were very bland. I hope this changes in V.

I really think Rockstar with their obsession for detail would have thought about stuff like this before, maybe the math of trying to create something that dynamic with sound is just over their heads or way too complicated for this generation of hardware. However how you described that made me physically excited at the very chance that this being possible in V. I really hope Rockstar does something about the engine sounds in this one, but I think if they were overtly different we would have heard something in the previews by now.

I asked someone of Gamekings and he told me that he liked the Engine Sounds and Weapon Sounds. The trailers sounded good aswell but we know that Trailers from R* never showed the actual sound. Best example is the AK in IV

Did they explain how they liked the noises, In what detail did they describe them?
