They need to update the sound of the Sentra Nismo in the game. The stock sound is fine (when the car is stock) but when it’s modified it’s very underwhelming, because how a modified one in real life sounds vs how it sounds in the game using the stock engine is vastly different.
I initially sent this as a issue to Playground Games but I had it titled wrong as a support issue at the time, but now because there’s a Suggestions hub, I’m reposting this again in the hopes that the sound files for this car will be updated to better match accurately how a modified one in real life sounds like.
My best friend of over 10 years, owns a Sentra Nismo, he threw almost $12k at the engine and exhaust setup alone, and it now makes 320hp, at the time the video was made it was making just about 260hp to the wheels and it sounds exactly what you hear in this video (mainly because I shot that video and that is indeed my friends car)—>>https://youtube.com/shorts/3x13y7-LyFk?feature=share
I posted that same video to Reddit a little over a year ago to get some opinions on just the sound of the car, to much fanfare. The video I have is just him revving the car, but this is accurate to how this vehicle sounds when you modify it.
The Nissan Juke, which also has the same exact engine and transmission options as the Sentra Nismo, sounds like this with just a simple exhaust upgrade—>> https://youtu.be/Um6kdH3n9O8
From 1:23 in this video, this is what a fully built Sentra Nismo (as well as a Juke) sounds like on a cold start as well as at idle—>>https://youtu.be/qxihnvt2YrU
From 2:02 to 2:12 in the video you can hear how it sounds while revving with the modified stock engine, and from 2:13 onwards to 2:27 when you set them up using launch control (aka holding down the handbrake, brakes and the gas pedal at the same time), you can hear how they sound, complete with pops and minor bangs out the exhaust.
And in Forza Horizon 5 (and as well in Forza Horizon 4) it sounds like this—>>https://youtu.be/V2p_JXND1m8
Which sound of the two would you rather want the Sentra Nismo in the game to have, the underwhelming ones from FH4 and currently FH5 or the ones from the videos I showed y’all?
This post as well as the videos I listed are an accurate description and representation of what the Sentra Nismo (and the Juke) sound at idle, as well as free revving them and revving them with launch control when the original MR16DDT engines in them are modified.
I just feel that the amplified stock engine sound you hear when you add performance parts to the Nissan Sentra Nismo is not truly accurate as to how this car sounds like in real life modified with actual performance parts. Anyone that also owns a Juke or a Sentra Nismo IRL knows the potential of these cars and how they should sound.
I would really appreciate it if the sound files for this car when modified with the original stock engine aka the MR16DDT in the game is accurate and truly representative of the Sentra Nismo (and the Juke, if you guys decide to bring that car back) and the Sentra/Juke car communities as a whole.
Thank you all for coming to my TED talk. Please bump this up so that the developers can see this and update the car for everyone to enjoy.
