Hey everyone. Hope you are well.
So I have been wanting to make a racing game but I cannot make any promises. That being said, I have been watching this combat racing game called Grip. It is for PC and I believe it is for PS4 and XBox1 as well. But check out these car sounds. I think unlike Top Speed and Rail Racer where it was one engine for the whole vehicle or vehicles, I believe these guys for Grip had multiple recordings of the engines from these vehicles and replicated them. So that every time you shift gears, the sound of the engine changes slightly or dramatically. But maybe a couple of cases no change at all. So yes there is pitch shifting a bit like Top Speed and Rail Racer. But to make these more realistic as much as possible, I believe that is what they had to do. And I think it was a good Idea. Also you will notice that when they shift gears, the gears make noises as well. And they sound different for almost every class of vehicle. I cannot get enough of these car sounds. Some of them sound absolutely monsterous. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2c55Q4xgMFs&t=631s
