Forza 5's audio revolution - lion roars, human screaming and dynamic scores

OXM UK: "Think Turn 10's a tad over-obsessed with how cars look? Just wait till you hear about Forza Motorsport 5's dynamic audio design, which recreates not just how cars sound but how they sound in a multitude of circumstances, even changing the score to suit."

In other words, "Who cares about delivering authentic engine sounds and making you hear what you'd actually hear on the track. Here's a lion roar mixed with a guy screaming with a little reverb and pitch shift added every time you hit the accelerator!".

I'm talking about what he literally said. They go on and on about painstakingly recreating the perfect engine sounds, making them sound good in any environment, and then go on to say they achieve that by mixing in sounds of lions roaring and dudes screaming.

I always love it when my intelligence gets insulted in the same sentence that someone misspells a word.

i play racing games/sims with music off... so...

If it works, it works. Wish I had a lion's roar come with my actual car. I play games because they are games. If it enables emotion, let the developer use whatever he has.

Perhaps a game could help me escape reality like I pay for. The $60 I pay for a game goes to me escaping reality for a bit.

You know.

Looking back to 2014 and Forza Motorsport 5 Racing GOTY Edition

Carlos writes - "When it was time for Forza 5 to rock on up to the track, we were just entering the third generation of Xbox consoles, and to show off all that extra horsepower that would come inside the Xbox One, they wanted a flagship title that could truly showcase just what miracles the next generation could perform. And what better title than Microsoft’s beloved racer!"

Such s supreme racing title. Hands down racing franchise of recent decades. Nothing has come close in quality or ratings.

bluefox7551732d ago

Not to mention the worst rated game in the series.

mijayire1732d ago

Apart from Forza 5. Talking about generally the Forza series has always been rated high. Perhaps Forza 5 was rushed for launch. Although made up again by Forza 6 and 7.

IRetrouk1732d ago

I liked the game well enough, it was a good starting point for the new gen and helped them build up to what motorsport 7 is now, the controversies wasnt with the numbers of cars or tracks though, it was more to do with the pc footage being passed off as xbox one, the downgrade from what they originally had shown caused more upset than the numbers.

Are the free Xbox Games With Gold titles for September 2017 any good?

James writes - "So here we are with a new month about to begin, and we all know by now that means a number of new games are about to be gifted to all Xbox One and Xbox 360 players via the Xbox Games With Gold scheme for September2017. The free games of last month were passable if truth be told, but can September’s offerings make it a month to remember, or one to skip over?"

Well...lets see. So FM5 is 2013's Racer of the Year, while Oxenfree was nominated and won all types of awards as an indie game in 2016. On the BC side, both games are classics.

lxeasy2423d ago

The Games for Gold this month are pretty good

DaNineTwo2423d ago

I have no idea why you got disagrees.

shinrock2423d ago (Edited 2423d ago )

Because ur in Sonyland.

DaGreatOne2423d ago

I got disagrees for pointing the same thing out the psn games coming. I doubt some people actually enjoy games that visit this site.

TheSaint2422d ago

I swear some people just go into topics and hit disagree on every post for no reason.

EazyC2423d ago

Of course they are. The competition between PS Plus and GwG is getting good now, expect more great months on both sides

Ps propagandist article and post.

Keep it neutral, fanboy.

Profile picture, son. I'm an adult, I don't do that fanboy nonsense.
