V6 is a V8?

[jmw]

Anyone notice that the Magnus Opus has a V8 sound, yet its supposed to be a V6? I lol'd so hard when I realized that the car said it was a V6... Definitely not.

[Space Coward]

Well, I got a rare bug where the car sounds completely cut out after a few hours, so I didn't find it so funny.

Anyway, it's a WB game, so you can expect that they encourage corner-cutting and provide only the bare minimum to finish the product.

you do realize that a V6 could sound just as beefy as a V8. Could be a more vintage engine, If you've driven a V8 in the game you will notice a difference. Wait till you install the Big Chief.

Yeah especially with open pipes without length and mufflers/resonators. Ever heard a four cylinder engine with no pipes? It sounds deafening and massive for something that sits in front of a jetta or behind a baja bug. The only reason engines have tones/notes is the exhaust plus manifold tubing/length/bends and muffler design. Otherwise they all sound pretty similar with explosions coming directly under the ehaust valves out of the ports/

If there's no catalytic converter on the car (and in the world like this there wouldn't be) a v6 will sounds like a v8, remember the exhausts are going to be made from scrap with holes in them which again makes a car sound like it has more grunt than it really does.
Go down to a legal street drag and you'll hear the noise of each car when the owners drop the pipes, heck even a 4cyl sounds beefy..lol

[Space Coward]

In that case, glad to hear it's not just budget cuts. Of course, I want to find a fix for that damn sound problem before getting back in the Death Rattle.

*Magnum Opus* Also who cares its a sound effect. Guess you have to be in to cars to find a sound that funny that you laughed out loud.

I haven't really gotten far in the game, but the main character did say 'nothing less than 8 cylinders will do!' early on.

[Ruin]

I've actually heard minor differences in the engine sound as you upgrade through each of the V6's - I could be just imagining but they seem to have a different pitch or something...

Yet to get the V8 (been taking in the sights =p) so would be very surprised, given each V6 seems to have a slightly different pitch to it, that the V8 would sound the same...

[Killah]

The V8 does sound different, and I've also had the engine sound cut out on numerous occsasions so I'm guessing it must also be a hybrid lol

who needs a v8, I just found a car with a twin v6... man that thing is killer

Yeah, and when you get your V6 engine, Max flips its ♥♥♥♥. For the developers of Just Cause, the writing in this game was a very pleasant surprise, I'd say on par with the new Wolfenstein games.

I never said I didn't like the game, I said that WB Games is a cheap developer that probably doesn't care about the game very much. Why else would they make zero effort to market it?

Compare these two. There is a BIG difference between a V6 and a V8

THIS IS A V8

I've drive a loud V8 everyday, and I know the difference. Even if you cam a V6, it will never have that sound of a V8. I know that for a fact.

[Mercutian]

Too bad in game the v8 sounds dissapointing. When I dropped in that "perfect v6" I reveled in the screaming whine as I tore down desolate highways. Now with and improved big chief and its neutered droning I sad face.
