Only people who really like driving knows how important the sound of the cars is to a better driving experience, it really helps you feel the car and the acceleration, and not even mentioning the clutch change. Not even racing games seems to have the will to do this nowadays. Good fucking work CDPR.

[@BullsMahunny]

It isn't even people who love driving. Take Battlefield Hardline for example. In that game, when you get in a car which are using real car engine sounds and you're chasing a criminal or running from the cops you FEEL that power. Like you don't think anything of it until you're in the moment and that immersion can't be matched. I'm a sound guy, so that can break immersion just as much as something else but yeah.

[@404_namenotfound9]

As someone who loves cars, its evident you guys care so much about this. The sheer fact that there are around 40 or more vehicles in the game is amazing. But then you guys spent all this time doing this amazing work for stuff like car audio. This passion for every detail, big or small, is worth it all the way. As a car fan and as a gamer, I want to thank you CDPR for everything that you have done. Your effort is what defines you, and we your fans appreciate it.
