Many have asked why can't the Gran Turismo team get the exhaust sound right? This is where they always fail to impress, according to me. A few cars to mention are the VW Golf 5 GTI, Mercedes Benz SL65 AMG and E55 AMG, Audi RS6 etc. The recent flaw was seen in Gran Turismo 6 with the new BMW M4. Gamers compared the in-game sound with the real-life sound and were disappointed that GT6 failed to impress, yet again. Visit www.autoevolution/bmw-blog.com to see the video.
I don't know. Very debatable subject. Yes, the sounds aren't the greatest and a big improvement on GT5 but also bare in mind what sort of sound system you playing it on. I'm playing on my quadraphonic amp and Hi Fi system, and I must say, it sounds beautiful. Then again, so does Forza. Though they each have distinct differences in their version of authenticity. I still think it sounds good, but not with built in TV speakers.
You have a point there. I took my PS to the living room, connected it to the home theater system and i must say it sounds brilliant.
From Forza 3's days I was impressed with the amount of work that went into the sound design of the game. I believe the Forza 3 collector's edition has a whole section on the stuff they did to get the cars pitch perfect for the game. I highly doubt GT6's developers and designers bothered with that level of detail. Forza seems like a franchise driven by passion for the sport. A real passion for detail. GT seems like a passion for money. And it shows.
It all comes down to quantity over quality. Yes GT6 has 1200 odd cars, but there is no way the developers can spend time and money on making every little detail on each car perfect. Forza has a lot less content, but what it has is very high quality levels.

Polyphony has said that the GT6 that released is not the final game and they plan to continually improve everything (the sound as well) with future update as well. Again, I don't play simulators and I am not interested in either of the two, but from what I have heard from people playing the game GT6 is one of the best racing simulators ever released and what it does, it does really well.
for those not in the know the difference in the car sounds between the 2 games is that GT has been porting their sounds over since GT 3.
Forza on the other hand has gone the extra mile and along with every new game comes new engine noise, what they do is take every car and push it on a dyno and take it through it's paces and record those sound from 5 or 6 different points around the car incl the engine and exhaust.
and the always have 2 or 3 of the same car for different specs from standard to fully tuned so that they make sure the sound is spot on. GT doesn't go through that much effort, you can actually compare the two if possible by having the same car on both systems on the same sound system.
we have done this and there is a huge difference
But when i first read this i though you were talking about game music and there to i have to say that forza just has better in game music than GT (But that's my feeling)
Very well said and agree completely, I was actually almost insulted by that post saying that GT6 is in it for the money.Quote:

Agree with you on the music department, I actually turn it off in GT6. But I only have music in the menus only.Quote:
