Louder than a lion

PlayStation exclusive racers don’t always have the best audio – close your eyes while tackling the Nürburgring in Gran Turismo 6, and you may be tricked into thinking that you’re steering a vacuum cleaner rather than a Bugatti Veyron. Fortunately, this won’t be an issue in PlayStation 4 semi-sim DriveClub, as Evolution Studios has worked tirelessly to capture the entire roster of engine sounds for its 50 plus catalogue of cars.

This brand new trailer hammers the point home with endearing simplicity. It pans around a Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, demonstrating the vehicle’s raspy engine from both outside and inside the supercar’s cockpit. The company claims that it’s setting a new benchmark for automotive audio, using 16 synchronised microphones in order to capture every click, pop, and roar. It’s certainly a step up from Polyphony Digital’s half-hearted efforts, isn’t it?
