Just dled this, and looks nice - kind of like a realistic granturismo -
which would be amazig. But, is it me or is the sound horrible?? The first
car sounds TERRIBLE - not unloced the others yet - they any better?
This title has HUGE disparity of opinion. Some think it's the best sim
ever - some think it's a ramped up GT3.
The net code's quite good - the gfx engine not bad - the physics
reasonable - but I dont like their choice of cars t.b.h.
The sounds done realtime - a la staccato iirc - it's quite good I think

What's staccato? Like i said, only done the first car, as havent had time,
but its so bad... Have u heard the replays? The sound and gear change is
identical on each car - u get like a weird echo effect.
GT3 would be nice i think - as ive never had a console - the sound in that
is awesome.

Hi Rick,
The traditional method for generating sounds in a game is using pre-recorded
samples. Stacatto, on the other hand, is a sound library that generate
sounds from scratch rather than using these pre-recorded samples. The
benefits are that you dont get looping of sounds and you can control the
sound precisely, so for example, you can simulate the effect of the engine
becoming sick or a broken exhaust. The disadvantages are, you need quite
alot of audio experience to make it sound right and it takes up precious
processor time.
I am also a fan of GT3, people look down their nose at it, but its a great
game with a more than reasonable physics engine (post-tweaked for
drivability). It needs to be driven with a decent wheel (the LWFFGP or
Momo).
All the best,
Ash

But, whatever, they sound really nice, and add loads to the environment.
Simulate all u like, but if it sounds pants, what's the point.

So at first, they will be pants for sure. But it's a problem we can cope
with. I mean, along the way, when developpers will start coupling with
real-time engine deformation of polygons (into multiple others) for tyre
modeling, or into real-time modeling of the 3d game engine instead of having
to rely on an exterior set of physics, they will be pants also.
