Okay, so in the E3 trailer the car sounded amazing hammering the limiter. However, I was on twitch and managed to get someone to get the car and upgrade it and it sounds nothing like it did on the trailer. What’s the deal with that??? Big let down if I’m honest.

Same thing for the Huracan, which sound really great in the trailers but less exciting in the demo. Or the P1, whose sound is really deep while in the game It’s just ‘flat’.
Did the trailer make you want to get the game and listen to the R34? If so then it’s done it’s job. Also twitch doesn’t always show the best quality for both picture and sound. It can also sound a little bit better if you play around with your television sound settings.
It sounds nothing like it did in the trailer whilst it was sat on the limiter. Nothing to do with it being on switch.
Maybe it will sound like that when you upgrade the flux capacitor.

Twitch is a bad representation of what a game looks and sounds like, Twitch also has been a disaster with buffering for a lot of people the past few months and they still won’t fix it.
Blinker fluid is probably just low

Hate to give you the bad news but it’s not even a Skyline engine sound used in that trailer. It’s an 800 HP 2JZ supra engine. Want proof, watch this video. The audio might sound familiar. If you don’t want to watch the whole video skip to 1:00

That sounds really really close. And by the way, they used a part of that video in the intro cinematic (at 6:00)
The exact sound comes from :56 on.
Yeah, it sucks we aren’t getting dope sounds, but it’s better than the Hoover vaccums over on the other side.

Wow really! Disappointed with who ever made the trailer.

Unfortunately it’s commonplace for racing game trailers to use real sounds, not in-game sounds.

Forza Horizon 2 uses real sounds, perhaps you mean to say that the commercials use sounds from different positions than displayed?
Call me crazy but the huracan sounds much better during the showcase event, much much raspier. Give it a try.
I drove it many times, still not anywhere close to the trailer.
Well when you drive to the festival in demo in the lambo it doesn’t sound as aggressive but when the cut scene comes in and it downshifts and blips the throttle it sounds mean!

Well from the demo i’m quite disappointed with the car sounds in Horizon 2, i had to adjust that stereo adapter thing for my headset to even hear anything to start with and even when i applied a lot of “game sound” the cars didn’t have no…bass, if you like. The Bowler was my first choice as i expected a deep V8 sound like the V8s from Forza 5 (it sounded perfect in Horizon 1 from what i remember), but i was less than impressed. However when i went back to Forza 5 i was deafened by a Kinect mic and my Camaro straight away.
Obviously i will have a lot more cars to try when i get the game Friday, but i’m just pointing out that the demo left me unimpressed. The Evo 10 was however a surprise, in Forza 5 i could barely hear it, but in the Horizon 2 demo it’s clear as day.
Just watched some guy swap a Corvette LT1 into an R34 Skyline. Translation: I no longer care what the stock motor sounds like.
