Gran Turismo's Engine Sounds, Drag Racing, the DeltaWing, & More: GTPlanet's Kazunori Interview

Kazunori Yamauchi hints at his future plans for the Gran Turismo series, while addressing frequent complaints and questions about GT5.

[KMCROC]

He's going to talk about GT & about everything it will do or what he has planned. But the kicker is we will have to wait six years for it like we did last, here's an idea make the game first then tell us about later.

[thebudgetgamer]

It shouldn't take as long to make six since they already have their game engine running on the PS3. I imagine it will be the same as when we waited all that time for Killzone 2, hope so anyways.

[jimbobwahey]

Well they're a busy dev studio, it's not like they sit around twiddling their thumbs.

Gran Turismo 4: 2005
Tourist Trophy: 2006
Gran Turismo HD: 2006
Gran Turismo 5 Prologue: 2007
Gran Turismo PSP: 2009
Gran Turismo 5: 2010

In five years they release six different games for three different consoles. When you take into account that they were new to two of those consoles and had to start from scratch developing a new engine for each of them, nevermind the gigantic amount of new features and content, I'd argue that it's very impressive just how much they accomplished in a five year period. Pretty cool that they found the time to develop a motorbike sim amongst all of that as well, I think.

Im not sure GT:HD, GT5:P are much more than snapshots of progress on the GT5 engine though are they?

[Animal Mutha 76]

That made me chuckle. Too right. Make the bloody thing properly, then be smug later.

[Knushwood Butt]

I'm still playing 5 and it came out 2 years ago...

[Me-Time]

"here's an idea make the game first then tell us about later."

What the ****? He didn't even mention GT6!

[KMCROC]

Kazunori Yamauchi hints at his future plans for the Gran Turismo series,seeing how GT5 was the last one. where do you think these ideas or concepts even these engine mods are going to be used on. GT6 is my guess seeing as how they are no longer updating GT5 So much.

[hennessey86]

Ahhhhhhhhhh
So that's what's wrong with GTs engine sounds, they are too realistic..................... .....hahahahahahahahaha

[BitbyDeath]

Think Kaz just meant the process taken captures the actual sound and they don't mess with it, when clearly they should.

Seen a lot of comments on GTPlanet taking the mickey out of that statement too.

[izumo_lee]

I really want Kaz & PD to make a video of their sound capture process to finally shut some of these people up.

I agree that when PD records the sounds in raw form but does not do any post production to enhance them. They believe leaving them as is is the best way to go.

[Ducky]

... it's disappointing that they couldn't get the engine audio to sound better than reality, like they did with the visuals.

[Hellracer666]

Gt5 is the most boring racing game of all, with syntetic car sounds, extremly odd hood cam on many cars and no sens of speed when driving with cockpit cam. The only thing thats god about that game is the driving physics and grafics.

[jd666]

The lamborghini in nfs mw has a great engine sound, especially going through tunnels

[josephayal]

GT5 Changed My Life..BUT
One thing I don't like about GT5 is the Standar Cars, IMO Gran Turismo 5 really is, without a doubt, the best Racing game on the market

[Jls1]

I really hope they work on the engine sounds for the next Gt. For some cars they got it right but ones like this one.
lol

[Rauland]

it's not a very accurate sound comparison, one is in the car and one is looking outside the car.

[Me-Time]

They've updated the overall sounds on at least four different occasions since that video was made literally 20 months ago.

[ion666]

At least it actually comes out.Not like versus final fantasy.
