Tesla in video games

[chronopublish]

Don't worry about the ICE sound in the trailer - I am certain it is just a placeholder.

GT has a stellar reputation for using authentic sounds for all cars (even going so far as to mic the real ones to get exact replication). I have no doubt whatsoever that the final release will use the authentic motor whine sound.

I am looking forward to GT5 for PS3... Nice to see the Roadster made it in there.

I all but begged them to see if they could get the Roadster in GT5.

Glad to see it there! (Got my copy.)

I played GT5 (Arcade mode) last weekend at a friend, I selected the Roadster, and he selected his Mini Cooper S.
The acceleration of the Roadster is totaly wrong (way to slow). The Mini S accelerated much faster then the 2008 roadster.

Anyone noticed the same?

 

[chronopublish]

I haven't timed it yet but the Roadster's 0-60 acceleration in GT5 does feel slow.

I also noticed there is no regen braking whatsoever ... pretty disappointing for a simulation.

At least they did get the sound of the motor right.

In the first video, I presume that number down at the bottom center is the speed. But is it in kilometers or miles?

Considering GT5 is supposed to be a pretty realistic racing simulation (it even has oil changes and car washing) I can't believe they don't have re-gen on the Roadster as it's a critical part of the Roadster experience!

Maybe they didn't want all the petrol-heads to get upset from being spanked by an EV. :wink:

At least it appears that they got the motor sound right.

The vids are from Japan so it's likely kph.

It sounded right on the accel, but not slowing down. Maybe that goes with the lack of regen.

This is true. The acceleration sounds near-perfect to me but they didn't get the deceleration sound right, which may coincide with the Roadster not having regen in GT5. I wonder what game we'll see the Roadster in next. :smile:

 

[vfx]

In that first video the slow-down lack of regen just sounds horrible. They just did some sort of electronic manipulation to the motor sound. Awful.

GT5 video ...

Too many things WRONG/FAKE with that for me to really want to comment ... meh :frown: But ... to each his own version of "fun", fake or otherwise.

 

[TEG]

Well, for those of us who cannot afford a Roadster, the simulated, fake video game experience will have to do.
(Perhaps a Hertz rental in my future too!)

Anyone looked for inaccuracies in the ICE cars? (apart from the Mini)

I don't play this game so you got me curious, what are the inaccuracies with the Mini (or am I reading your comment wrong?)

The Mini (in the game) has faster acceleration than the 2008 Roadster:

Haha, I read that also. Thanks for pointing that out again.
