BrandonBranderson Posted March 1, 2019 Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) One of these? That would be awesome. Maybe it won't sound like a vacuum cleaner this time. Seriously though, how is the Growl's idle sound so badass, but once you start moving you it sounds so bad? I'm gonna chalk it up to limited resources on G1's part and assume they didn't have the equipment or money to go out and record a real one on a dyno, so they just recycled the sounds of other cars. You would think they would at least include a mixture of the Vegas' engine sound in that. Edited March 1, 2019 by BrandonBranderson 1 Quote

The company was already in a tight spot. So they were making due however they could. Meant cutting corners with things like sounds by twisting around existing ones. Happened a lot for guns too. Hopefully they'll get a chance to re-do some audio down the line. Anyways. New car kits would be fantastic. Especially something with an older style to it. There really isn't a whole lot of that in APB. Which is really freaking odd to me. The other car with a truly classic look to it is all but ignored (fresno). Despite there having been quite a few requests for it spanning years back to the G1 re-launch. 1 Quote

I suggested a new Fresno kit but it derailed quickly in the 4 replies it got with everyone saying it looked like a Vegas, but the idea was to give the Fresno a sportier look. Maybe a bottom tier hatchback like the Varzuga could get an early 80s AMC Gremlin looking kit or something. 100% on board for the classic stingray kit for the Growl though. Quote
