Those quotes didn't come from my interview session. I was also thankful to have about 15 minutes with him one-on-one before the "round table" started. We covered some important questions, and his answers contained some pleasant surprises.
I'll begin the transcription process tomorrow. 👍
Being able to do a race livery on a race modded car would be great but a full blown livery editor would result in a lot of stuff other than race liveries such as hello kitty cars, anime themes and other such stuff.
Aside from the inappropriate images that are put on cars, nothing. We don't need it. It would be nice to have some stripes, decals and number options but that would really be enough to satisfy most of us.
Many of the ones I have saw on Forza are R rated anime and definitely should not be in a game that kids play.
Nope not yet it is currently 9:08 AM there
Yes, I'm aware of translator san. We go waaay back.
First, I'll admit that I shouldn't have immediately pegged it on translator san. However, many people here know how obscure/inconsistent some of his translations have been in the past. Or maybe it's Kaz who is obscure/inconsistent.... doesn't really matter. Also, it could've have been mis-typed or mis-written on by the journalist. Or just mis-spoken by the translator. Mistakes happen.
But, with all of that said, let's review the quote.
"We mentioned it a little bit at the Silverstone announcement a few weeks ago but we want to affect more industries outside of just the game world, and we're setting up a lot of collaborations with a lot of different game companies right now, as we speak"
1. We mentioned it at the Silverstone announcement- Nothing about EA/Porsche/Game Companies was mentioned there.
2. We want to affect more industries outside of just the game world- Yep, that is what they talked about at the Silverstone announcement. KW and Yokahama
3. And we're setting up a lot of collaborations with a lot of different game companies right now- So they must be working with a lot of game companies about things outside of the game world that they mentioned at the Silverstone announcement? Huh?
Nope that doesn't make sense. However, if you just remove the word "game" it all makes sense. Anyway, that's the way I see it. It's the simplest and most "elegant" answer. But hey, I have my fingers crossed for Porsche too. Just think it's a dream right now. 👍
I know for a fact that all but 2 people I race with would much rather have a simple interface that can just do stripes decals and numbers which is quite a fair amount of people. I do have 2 that really enjoy painting on Forza and would want the full deal but there is a large number of people who play the game and do not bother to even put a decal on the car and many others who would just like to be able to add some decals or numbers.
What you believe is irrelevant when talking for a mass majority,because I believe the complete opposite,but I talk for myself.

I won't refuse this feature if the racing game are base on street/under ground category, but this is GT sport.
I'm going to go out on a bit of a limb here and attempt to play devil's advocate a bit. In some ways I think I can see townnet's point and almost agree with it though I don't necessarily think a livery editor would ruin Gran Turismo.
For me personally I'd at least like to see a basic livery editor, something simple with stripes, manufacturer decals and number boxes that would allow us to create our own simple but unique race car style liveries.
All those complex art cars from games like Forza are beautiful and I can fully appreciate the talent it takes to create such things, but at the end of the day they are still "art cars". I think that might be what townnet is getting at though, that GT perhaps isn't the right type of game for that complex art car style livery?
Granted I do understand that there are race cars with those highly artistic liveries out there in the real world, I'm just trying to see it from both sides and hopefully make reasonable points
