Weak engine sounds in Gran Turismo series

[jtvang125]

Well as far as graphics, physics, and game play the Gran Turismo series is what all other racing games are based on. But one thing that annoys me is the really wimpy sound of the cars. A V8 just doesn't have the deep growl of a modified V8. A S2000 revving to 10k rpm just doesn't sound like the engine is going to go any minute.

I don't have my PS2 hooked up straight to the TV. I have it going to my home theater system and the sound effects are still weak. It doesn't totally ruin the game but compared to the sound effects in NFS Underground 2, GT is really subpar.

They are the real engine noises, though. They recorded them from the real cars.

They are supposed to be created from the real engines but I agree they don't all sound like the real cars.

I'm just grateful they use real engine sounds as opposed to synthesized or one tone adjusted sound used x times.

Agreed they do sound pretty wimpy. I have thought that for every GT game I've played
