What would you change about Gran Turismo 5?

Better and more realistic sounding cars

I'd love the cars in GT5 to sound more ferocious.. Just to immerse us even further in driving.
Things like Vtec crossover roar, induction hiss, wilder engine sound on load and on tickover, more realistic exhaust backfire sounds.. These would make the game totally more enjoyable in my opinion.

        The shifting sound in some cars is fake. I'm not talking about the engine sound, I'm talking about the shifting sound. Some cars just shifts like they have dual clutch transmission, even though they don't.

        What gt5 has that forza doesnt is engine sounds. The actual engine sounds different than the exhaust, but gt5 does need supercharger and turbo sounds

        I think most guys just have a bad sound system because the cars have the sound like real-fire (there are exceptions of course).

        The sounds in Forza 4 make me jealous and overall im actually thinking of getting a new Xbox for Forza because that game, while isnt as good physics wise, is a lot more interactive with its customization and the sounds are way better. I like loud and possibly overdone engine noise with things like supercharger noise and turbo whines. The only sound I hate is that stupid transmission whine, seriously overdone and makes every car sound ridiculous.

        Couldn't agree you more on this! Good Job!

        Check out my "Custom Race Option" suggestion and please comment.

        please put vtec cross over in and better car sounds it would make the game far more fun a far more saleable gt5 would be far better than forza put it into the next update.

        right now PD needs to fix the sound bug brought by 2.06 update where the oponent cars sound louder and drown you car's sounds, it was fine before the update, they attempted to fix a problem that didn't even exist and actually ended up making it a real problem, c'mon PD, nothing is gonna change in the game unless you fix the main issue with it

        There are many cases in GT5 where the sound samples used for a car do not properly represent the sound of the actual car.

        The biggest culprits are cross-plane V8s, which usually sound fine in stock form, but can use samples for anything from inline four, to inline / v6 to flat-plane v8 samples instead of proper cross-plane ones.
        Other major culprits are the 10, 12, 3 and 5 cylinder engines, especially when modified, but often in stock form, too (Lamborghini V12s use V10 samples, for instance; the Audi Quattro sounds nothing like a 5 cylinder etc.)

        I'm sure we all appreciate that getting things exactly right for 4 different exhausts for 1000+ cars is not an easy task, but some basic correspondence between engine types and their sounds would really go a long way.

        i agree with you everything is perfect but only the engine sounds need more attention! i'm not saying that Forza Motosport is better than GT5 but they got better engine sounds :( so EVERYONE PLEASE VOTE! and help us realise this good idea!

      • johnjohn commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

        Dont forget the awsome sound of engines like the 351 winsor or the cleavland and the real sounds like the 302 V8 and the cobra 427 and the other torque driven engines

        is it just me or some cars sounded better in prologue? like: ford gt, viper srt, bmw 1s among others, i also think some cars sounded better in gt4 like: honda nsx, bmw m5, tvr tuscan and others

        Quite frankly most of the cars in GT5 sound like constipated 6 cylinder 1950 trucks. Check out the engine sounds in Forza 4. They leave GT5 for dead. Get it together Polyphony!

        realistic sounds with the graphics they have is essential.. the games look & physics are excellent... but atmoshphere is lacking... sound would add to it, but atmoshpere needs to improve - i want to be in the pit garage - like the menu demo with all the mechanics around one of your cars. This looks good and is in the racing spirit... until you realise theres no sound.. that view after picking your car would be awesome, with the sound of other cars screaming past on track in the distance, cars starting up in the next garage, cars cruising down the pit lane.. exhausts spitting & popping as they go past your door... then your cars roars into life etc etc etc.... like you were there... the game needs something like this
