Would you guys agree that if we add the ability to add stripes, decals and numbers that would be a big step in the right direction and would be good enough to satisfy most of us if there is not a full blown livery editor?
It would be more than we have ever had in GT and would allow quite a few options.
I also believe that they should charge [in game credits] for paint and decals rather than just letting us paint all day for free like some other game does. Paint is not free nor are decals.
As far as livery editor being associated with any type of racing is a bit of a stretch to say the least. You can make almost anything with a good one. It would be nice to be able to create exact replicas of various race liveries and would definitely add to the game.
I will not complain if it is there nor if it is not though I would be a bit upset if they add an editor and leave out things that I deem to be more important.
Why necessarily put it in the context of GT? Sure anything that can be added will already be a significant difference from previous GT's but I don't think it will automatically mean a step in the right direction, it'll only show that it still doesn't offer something as comprehensive like other racing games already do.
So I'd say don't bother with a stripe/decal/number option and just focus on a proper one.
Charging for painting ingame is just another pointless limitation serving no purpose at all, so what if some just want to paint all day (and drive them another)?
Should you also be charged for entering each track like GT4 did to punish you for wanting to drive all day?
You say it would be nice to create
exact replicas, that has absolutely no appeal for me yet it would be very nice for me to have the ability to create and design my very own, why would only creating exact replicas add to the game (which is what you're seemingly suggesting) whilst doing unique stuff somehow doesn't?
If creating existing replicas would add something to the game for you, designing something yourself (which could hypothetically be realistic or adopted in real life) would add something to the game for people like me, or wouldn't it?
