Engine Sounds [see post #27]

What the hell happened to the Huyara BC sound? it sounded perfetct in FH3 here its literally copied over from Cinque [Mod Edit - Abbreviated profanity, profanity and profanity that is disguised but still alludes to the words are not permitted - D]??

So many cars in this game i won’t touch because the sounds are so awful…

They “fixed” the Hondas and the distorted 6.2L in the most recent update. Sounds like they filtered out the highs. The obnoxious vocal characters remain. SMH.

You guys don’t trust the sound department? Geez… Aside from the cars that have the wrong engines ie. the McLaren P1 etc, everything sounds completely better than the flatter digital sounds of FH3. Now with this new update it’s all ruined, like all of it. Thanks guys. They’ve made great progress with FM7 and now FH4. Now it’s all gone… Great.

Hello Playground,
What have you done with Nissan R34 engine sound ?
Before last update it was the best RB26 sound (my opinion) of all Forza.
Since last update he is very bad, the same as in Forza Motorsport 7.
Can you back to the previous engine sound ?
Thanks

People thought it sounded like crap when it clearly doesn’t. It really does have the best engine sound out of all the forzas they’be made. The community all complained so they changed the closest real life rendition of the R34 into digital nothingness. It’s never coming back now, we’re stuck with the ruined sound.

What has this thread degenerated into, people are resorting to trolling now. Pathetic.

It was a Supra sound introduced in FH3 and recycled for M4 and Skyline. It doesn’t sound anywhere close to an RB26DETT.

Even the RB26 sound back in Forza Motorsport 2 is better than the one in FH4. Just listen to it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkGpBwfzu-g

Let me stop you right there. The sound you are speaking about is allegedly a 2JZ soundfile, not an RB26. In fact, it doesn’t even sound that close to a real life BNR34 rendition, take a look at some older Youtube video’s from old press of the release of that car and tell me that the sound you are speaking of is even close. At best the soundfile probably sounds like an RB25(although don’t quote me on that), it really is just a very dreary, woeful engine soundfile as mentioned by many others previously. And yes, the sound that they have updated it with (the FM7 sound) has actually made it even worse than it already worse (the RB26 does not sound like a Porsche 911/Subaru SVX). If anything, the Alfa Romeo Gulia QV sounds closer to an RB26 than both of these soundfiles.

For reference, I have timestamped a clip of the R34 commercial video. As you can see it doesn’t sound anything like the soundfile you speak of. In fact, it is like a mix of the Alfa Gulia and the FM6/FH3 R33 Skyline sound: https://youtu.be/cfMabqGxLlk?t=194

I do not agree with you Race Hork, can you look this video please, it is definitly a RB26 and not a 2JZ :

Ok, in this video this is probably not a stock engine but in the game my R34 was not.

The current sound is a placeholder made up of mishmashing several different samples like Aston Martin and Porsche. They probably don’t have a (good) RB26DETT sample yet.

JONK made the post and no one reads it, they’re transitioning to a new engine and their new library is still small. Also, the large amount of cars means they have to prioritize graphics and not sounds. But the average YouTube dudebro, which is like 90% of this thread’s posters, doesn’t care about it.

The notion that Forza “lost its way” with regards to sounds is ridiculous when you listen to cars like the Countach, the E-Type, the F355, the M5 E34 and the M5 E60. All of these sound really great. Carrera GT was criticized but, when you watch a video that’s from an onboard camera and not a drive-by from a car tastelessly equipped with straight pipes, you can’t deny the facts, what’s in the game is what it should sound like. There are cars like M3 E36 and Dodge Viper with flawed samples/mixing, but they can be fixed in due time.

And all this talk of RB, RB, RB is nauseating. You judge the game by one car. Sure, the Skyline is many a dudebro/geartard’s favorite car, but it’s still one car, and it doesn’t even sound all that bad next to the M3 E36 for example. Commercial videos don’t tell the truth either, onboards do.

They should put the sound files of the R32 and R33 from the Horizon 3. Is not perfect, but is way superior that what it is now.

It didnt sound anything like RB26 lol the TVR Sagaris sounds closer to it than both previous and current sound of R34

If you’re still saying the RB noise in the game sounds like a 2J (before they updated the R34), drive the R32/R33 in cockpit/bonnet cam.

They almost had that sound file right. They just had to fix the distorted exhaust note that you heard when driving the cars in 3rd person. That’s what’s making the car sound like a 2J. But from cockpit/bonnet cam, the RB26 engine note almost sounds right.

Watch gameplay of Assetto Corsa…THAT IS HOW AN R34, M4, FXX ETC. SHOULD SOUND IN GAME!

The Hoonitruck has a V8 sound instead of the V6.

Between the #199 WRX STi stock engine and the Chevy 6.2L swap is almost a 2x volume difference. That should be fixed ASAP.

We have 2 new hoonigan car in the car pass and they both sound very very bad. We pay for these cars, and even after all the complains about car sounds on the forum and the whole internet you give us 2 bad sounding cars, this is really unacceptable.

Has annyone at playground games heard how the hoonitruck sounds? No. This car has a v6 racing engine from the ford gt prototype and it screams like a beast, not this stupid generic v8 sound and you also used a very bad and already used sound for the escort and it is not even close to real.

I really love this game, for me best horizon ever, but these sounds are unacceptable because at PG you are all aware on these engine sound problems from day 1 and you have plenty off time to fix car pass cars before they are released.

Sorry for my bad english

What happened to the thread title?

[Mod Edit - Title fixed, it just happens sometimes when threads are merged. -MM]

This game has simply become laughable. The folks at PG are laughable.

How on earth, are you going to give us a car that we had to “pay” for (whether through ultimate edition or buying a car pack) with an ABSOLUTELY wrong engine note. Like, not even in the same REALM of engine. I can almost forgive (well, actually no) most of the problems with exhaust notes in the game, because the attempt at fooling us was there. But this?! You gave us a truck with a built ford racing V6 engine, and gave us a generic V8 exhaust?! Does your team at PG even try?? Like, how do you mess this up. Who at PG says “yeah bruh, let’s like totally just throw in a bad V8 exhaust file to the HOONITRUCK, like that will totally be cool” and what kind of completely clueless supervisor says that’s ok? Seriously. You could have at least thrown on the (already awful) Ford GT sound file and at least be kind of close. Your laziness is just beaming at this point.

This is by far the worst mainstream game I have ever played. This game was clearly not ready for launch.
