Recording Car Sounds for Gran Turismo 7

 

 

 

 

Gran Turismo : Use a Kia car when recording snow tire sounds.

also Gran Turismo : In the GT games/universe, still NOT recognize Kia as an automaker, as same as all BRICS countries' cars (all Chinese cars, all Indian cars, all Russian cars).

(h0ngcom personally believes that the Polyphony Digital Company, the creator of the Gran Turismo games, is not neutral, it chose the First World side in the world politics.)

I think Kia thought "AM I A JOKE TO YOU?"

At 2024 Geneva Motor Show, the ‘Next World’ zone is hosted in partnership with Polyphony Digital where several Gran Turismo Vision concepts will be showcased. ( https://www.carscoops.com/2024/01/renault-dacia-mg-byd-among-few-remaining-exhibitors-at-2024-geneva-motor-show/ )

h0ngcom guessed that the 2024 Geneva Motor Show, that have only few car brands on display, would be a great chance for Polyphony Digital or Gran Turismo to know about Lucid, BYD and SAIC-MG, but no, it doesn't enough to make the Gran Turismo game universe know them as automakers.

In contrast to GT games, Orlando Bloom, also know as his Danny Moore character from the Gran Turismo 2023 movie, definitely knows Lucid because he once bought a Lucid car. ( https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-10553691/Orlando-Bloom-overjoyed-picks-new-Lucid-Air-luxury-electric-sedan-Beverly-Hills.html ) Maybe he remembers BYD, because he drove a BYD car in a Chinese movie The Shanghai Job / S.M.A.R.T. Chase. (Coincidentally, he was the Danny Stratton character, of course, another "Danny", in a BYD car in that Chinese movie. Another Danny, of course, in the GT 2023 movie, is working for Nissan.)

 

A Comparison of Elite Media and Netizens' Comments on BYD – How Significant Are the Differences?

I've seen the news. The picture of Akio Toyoda passed BYD booth. I think Akio's face shows "he ignores BYD" or "he hates BYD" rather than "he is having stress".

According to an other news, Akio Toyoda said to the media that “Japanese automakers must win.” I think Akio is no need to said that, since I never see and never think Japanese automakers can lose (at least, in Japan, its "home stadium", and Thailand, its "home stadium" too!).

I seen anti-EV and anti-Chinese-product sentiments are still very high among the most of Thai people.

Geely's EV sales skyrocket 306% in January as it passes BYD & VW

Japanese auto lose HUGE market share in Thailand as EVs sales grow 685%

 

 

By the percentage, it is very big.

By the sale numbers, it is very small (except BYDs, Neta V and MG4, that are more than 1,000 in that month, still not big numbers to me).

In my point of view, Japanese auto is not yet lose, especially the "T" brand, "H" brand and "I" brand. They are still gods of fuel cars, especially the T, that currently no EV company can beat it, and looks like that EVs will never beat it. Not surprise why T believe that EVs can't conquer the world, because the fuel car business of T is still the greatest.

Bangkok Motor Expo is also a new car sales event, not just a car show. It usually takes place in December. This event can stimulate new car sales very well, both at the event and through various car showrooms across the country. It contributed to the increase in car registrations in January. (In many cases, the car will not be received in the same month as when the order takes place.)
