Audio Raytracing and Forza Horizon 5

With Forza Horizon 5 they are using audio Ray Tracing and enhanced ways to get car sounds. The Forza channel on YouTube has a series on how they captured sound if you want a more detailed look at it. On the Series X and S it will be using the dedicated audio chip.

Here is a video where the user shows some new gameplay but also shows the differences of car sounds between FH4 and FH5 (uses the same type of car each time)

I just got a nice Dolby Atmos 5.1.4 system and FH4 sounds absolutely glorious in it. Can't wait to hear how FH5 sounds. :)

If you watch some of the Forza videos on the official channel they mic'd up on many places. In the engine bay, at the exhaust, etc to capture more realistic sound

I don't have a frame of reference to know one sounds "truer" than the other, but they certainly do sound different and it sounds like 5 should indeed be much more close to reality. I'm most interested in the RT audio - that's something that could add a lot to the game along with the view-dependent audio, and it's something I've been fantasizing about for other games for a while too (e.g., RT audio for new Thief game, please, where the AI is sensitive to the sound trace)

That's gonna be sweet. I remember hearing that could be an application for this tech. I'm excited to check it out.

Graphics and audio king

LOL you made this thread first before me due to the time frame on GS.

But anyway, Playground Games has really come a long way, and I'll admit, I'm really hype for FH5, already got it under my wishlist on Steam as it is. I'm more interest in Ray-Tracing tech so I'm gonna have to upgrade my GPU and get the RTX 3070Ti before November hits.

Can't wait to try this on my beastly XSX.

I just bought a new surround system but still haven't played FH4 :(

So many games in my backlog

There is no such thing as audio ray tracing...ray tracing is lightning and graphical not sound focused at all

Audio Ray Tracing by NVidia

Weren't you supposed to stop posting here Protoss?

another post that shows you do not know what you are talking about

Well when I bet him I assumed he wouldn't make an alt... I guess I should have stipulated that

Why are you lying?

Simple facts

If they can make a racing game this good, I have high hopes for attention to detail and quality in their new Fable game.

Well I mean someone who has zero interest in adaptive triggers you better not care about ray tracing audio. You downplayed adaptive triggers on dual sense now your hyping this NO dude enough of this.

what in the hell are you talking about??? Moving goal posts and trying to deflect from the topic again I see. You came into a thread about Ray Traced Audio and said "there is no such thing"... you were proven wrong (once again) and now you are doubling down on your dumbness?

Be a man, honour the spirit of the bet we placed and leave this place.

Here’s one of the best developers in the world talking about RT audio, and then there’s you - the person who couldn’t even keep his word to leave these forums - who says RT audio doesn’t exist….because it’s on XSX.

Guess who is more trustworthy Protuss?

It is PROBABLY on the PS5 as well

In which case Protoss would have hailed it as the most amazing innovation in the history of technology….it’s just the fact that it was announced on XSX that made him bitter enough to pretend to know what he’s talking about.

Heck, this was the guy who assured us that Returnal would be the best selling game for one single month.

Lol.

They put all that work into recording engine sounds, and it sounds just like any other racing game released in the past decade.

what?

The good thing is it's a super "pick it up when you want and put it down when you don't" game - there's no plot to remember or anything and if you aren't concerned about drilling mad skill in you can play it very casually once in a blue moon (as I do) and still have fun. I don't feel it is much of a contributor to my backlog problem (which I do have) for that reason

I loved doing the "find every road" challenge. It was fun, and my wife was helping look at the roads to see which ones had a tiny bit of gray left in them. And I did it at my leisure over the course of a couple weeks. Good times IMO.

This is just factually wrong.

This thread is pretty funny.

@zerothehero should get a job at IGN. They'd fit right in

my thoughts exactly.. perhaps his speakers are bad in his computer or phone.. the sounds differences between the cars in the video I posted show it is vastly different

Dude you are fumbling all over this place! At least pay attention to what this tech is all about and try not make yourself obvious. Come on!

IP ban time 😁

Sounds a lot like that turd that used to post here Protosomething

I know, it's like, "Why did they go to so much trouble when it sounds the same?" Ha ha!

Not as advanced as what Acitivison uses in Warzone. THere is more than RT involved.
