Engine Sound of F1 24 / Early Access engines
After watching several videos from YouTubers on F1 24 in Early Access like Idreau, Aarava, Opmer I have the sound of the engines is just catastrophic both in TV POD camera and in exterior view or eve...

I myself don't understand. It's just incomprehensible to have this on a game that is so-called "Official" with real developers who cannot push the games towards evolution but independent modders manage to modify a game which becomes realistic in sound, livery and much more. And that only in a few days
I cant really agree to this hate for the sound of the game, many mods for AC sound A LOT worse but there are definitely some things that the good mods for AC do way better than the F1 games but there are also reasons for that..
The shifting is definitely by far the weakest point for F1 games, sometimes almost unaudible and just a change in RPM sound, massively better in AC mods
The pitch of the engine itself seems a bit off on some but nothing mega crazy..
The Ferrari engine sound in itself is a lot worse and has been for multiple years, the AC mod that i heard recently is miles ahead in that regard.
However the reasons for the sounds and liveries and what not to take long or not change properly at all are quite obvious: First it has all to be licensed, aspecially the visual changes need to be approved by each team.. then it need to be approved by FOM, basically any change afaik.. Next that Codemasters are not allowed to use the F1 microphones audio for the game - at least a few years ago they said so - makes a HUGE difference on the core material the audio guys of Codemasters have to work with.. Even FOM * up with the engine sounds this year, i think with a ferrari powered car, dont remember which, it gets a rattling tremolo on the actual audio, thats just the placement inside the car and when Codemasters have to use a completely different placement its hard to get 1:1 the same results..
Could they do better in some regards? very likely, would all changes be faster and better if it wasnt for the reasons i stated above? Absolutely..
Its not like this game sounds like the "f1 games" from the 80s but some of you make it out to be the worst car sounds ever in a game😂 Just relax a bit, constructive criticism achieves more than just plain out calling someone bad😄
Thank you for your feedback 👍 Obviously the present sound is not the worst in the franchise but remains very far from the real sound of the engines. This is valid for the 4 engines present in F1. And of course it is also a question of licenses and the FOM as always and this is unfortunately an obstacle to the significant improvement of the games both in sound and in livery as you said. Despite this, for me and many people in the community, the noise of the engines is quite far from reality. I'm not making it up, it's real. There is obviously hatred in the community, especially at the moment but it is not only for the sound as you say but for a lot of things which are in no way heard by Codemaster or changed by their developers. I find that somewhat logical as a lot of people are angry. It's not Max or Lando or even the Esport players that we are shown on the networks who keep the franchise alive. This is only a small percentage of the community. It's you, me, everyone present in the forums, the comments on all the networks that keep the games alive. 😄
- @DavidLld33 Absolutely valid criticism and i was just referring to the very negative tone in this thread, there is plenty of reasons to be negative about the recent state of F1 games (has been going on for a while).. But to me the Honda, Merc and Alpine are acceptable engine sounds under the given circumstances, considering that everyone listens to them, the real engines and mods on considerably different audio systems.. Be it just small in ear headphones, real headphones, just a tv, normal speakers or even studio quality speakers, they all give you a different frequency response and pronounce certain aspects of the sound differently - not even starting with the reverb diffusion of the room - so while the F1 game might sound horrendous with player A's audio system it might actually sound closer to real life than AC with player B's audio system. And im also not starting with peoples individual perception of sound..
All im asking is that people consider that its just not that simple of a matter and you cant make audio please everyone🙂Yes I agree with you on the fact that this post remains quite negative but despite this in no way aims to bring hatred towards the developers or destroy the games 😁 But just something that has been pointed out for years by a lot of people and which tends to have very little evolution and it is obvious that it is not that simple. But if no one really talks about it, the chances of it changing are very slim. This forum is dedicated to this kind of thing if I'm not mistaken 😃 You know for my personal case I started working on the F1 franchise since "Formula one 2003" so for a few short years already. And every year I own the game whether it is good or not. Except this year for the first time in my life. I remain an F1 fan and it is not very difficult to identify the problems or faults that have persisted for a long time. This post is only one point among many, and it may not be part of the immediate priority but I think it deserves to be exposed 😉
I also really hate the engine sounds but I can deal with them. The sounds that I can't deal with are the external sounds, it sounds so bad. It is almost as if it is a video playing in the background, I'm off the engine, yet it still plays an engine noise and it is just so bad.
The cars sound like weed wackers. 👎
