Gt5 need custom paint jobs?

TokoTurismo
Why are others trying to turn Gran Turismo into a Forza? Forza this Forza that STOP IT ALREADY! Why must there always be something about what Gran Turismo needs or could learn from Forza, so annoying now to be honest. :grumpy:

Because it's a good idea?
Vinyl Editor adds a touch of individualism, that said there are a few points against it but that's the main reason everyone likes it, as I'm sure you already know.

If it wasn't a good idea then I'm sure people would of gave up a long time ago.

Oh no that I meant. I meant why must Forza get mention 24/7... :indiff: If GT6 gets a free roam mode then I would understand. "Not wishing mind you all."

P.S. I like my cars clear and nice, makes me happy.

Just Edited...
 
I doubt that it would be very easy to impliment custom paintjobs in GT5. Probably an issue with how the paints are mapped on all of the various car models.

Forza had custom paint on older versions as well. Probably a planned feature from day 1 which means the models were mapped with that in mind.

How would you feel about, not so much an editor, but having preset viynls to put on your car, like in Shift 2 or Grid. Then you could maybe change the colour of different parts of the livery like the stripes and so on, it would just make it so you can make your car a little more unique.
 
If PD are going to bother doing it (which they have said they wanted to, and apparently just couldn't get it working for GT5), they might as well do it right.



It would be nice if they could get some quickie thing thrown together for GT5, but I don't see it happening nor does it really bother me (at this point) if they don't.
 
I'd be happy with classic liveries. Imagine my Gulf Aston, or Castrol Pruis (lol). A license plate editor would be cool as well.

For the AE86 Shigeno Ver., my tag would be ILVTOFU. Partly because he loves tofu, partly because of what else the plate says (if you don't get it, you never will, lol).

Forza is going to get a mention simply because it has a livery editor and is well known for it, that however is beside the point.

The question is does GT need one, and the answer is (for me) without a doubt, with on-line racing and leagues being set-up its an important factor.

The entire issue of 'well kids will just make cars looks stupid' is taken on-board, but in all honesty it actually rarely happens in Forza lobbies. What does happen is a grid of what actually looks like racing cars. Anyone who doesn't want that for GT must have attended some bloody funny real world race events.

Excuse the fact that these are taken from FM4, but they do illustrate a point, from an on-line race (the Integra is mine)...



....and modelled after Nick Mason's Daytona...

I don't see how being able to do the above would not add to GT?

Seeing as most quickly put together multiplatform games can come out with very competent livery editors year on year and PD had literally forever and a huge budget its mind boggling. It seems they really need to hire more staff.

It's something that the series definitely needs, all its competition has it and it makes the potential amount of cars you have limitless. PD selling paint chips as DLC is hilarious in this day and age of game customisation.

It really is my most wanted feature and until they have it and all the cars are converted to premium I probably won't buy it. I guess I might be waiting a long time then!
 
I don't mind if we have to pay for it, maybe a fiver. It would just be nice to make our cars abit more special and McClaren I like your number plate idea :)

Well if that's the case that's fine for you. For me that's my case so it's fine for me. That's that. As long as you're able to buy design Hurray but I like designs that are based on racing... :grumpy:

Edited :P

Scaff couldn't you have done that sooner, I've just quoted you... And yes that's what I'm talking about. And I already knew that was FM4 obviously. :sly:

Racing teans and Drift teams would benefit heavily from this. Me personally, I'd love the feature but if not then they should at least allow us to buy extra paint chips for paint that we already own. It would make a fair amount of people happy.

Forza fanboys *sigh*

Simple answer GT is in dire need of this, It improves the longevity of the game, A and B Spec are both poor in terms of number of events, And its the 21st century without it GT5 feels somewhat outdated.

P.S If PD don't implement this into GT5 or make it a feature in GT6 I'll be spending a long time playing LittleBigPlanet Karting.
 
this is what i don't want in gt5, you think its cool till you see this.

Its all over in FM! last time i played online at my cousins house, two cars had vulgar pictures on them :yuck: On a side not , the new twisted metal will have templates like in car town so you can export them from your PC!

Mod nation racers failed to give me any good solid racing:grumpy:
 
I accidentally customized a car!

1966 Shelby GT-350R

I went to paint it a deep royal blue and ended up using the paint chip from the GSX-R/4 so my Shelby ended up two-tone with black sides and royal blue top surfaces.

LOVE IT!

experiment with your paint chips for cars that are two-tone.
granted, it's $2500 to paint, but when you can pay $7500 for a set of
sport tires, what's a third of that for the look you want?

That exact colour scheme would look very good on my Supra or my 350z.

I agree with you on that it was HOPELESS :), However GT5 is not hopeless but it does fail somewhat by not having this feature that's been about for years, Lets as an example go with Sony's Play Create Share mantra.

As a rule of that you play GT5, Win some Cr, Modify a car accordingly, Sticker it up to look like a racing car, Post a copy of it on the servers, Let people use your creation if you so choose :). Winner frankly.

Funny you mention LBP - I think Media Molecule's whole approach to customization could be something PD should look into, because the GT series could absolutely benefit from a livery creator. Using something like their sticker placement interface could make creating liveries a breeze - I'll readily admit that while I now have a (basic) understanding of how FM4's livery creation happens, it's far from inviting to a newcomer. Something like this:

Took ages to do, though that's mostly down to the Mill Street logo itself. But using something to just "stamp" our designs on, where it takes the different sides of the shape into consideration, would be fantastic. Every level of motorsport in the real world has liveries, it seems silly that GT doesn't.

And has been brought up before, in threads similar to this - there's an easy solution for those who would rather their cars all be painted one solitary colour: a simple check box for "Disable User Created Liveries". It'd be win/win for both sides, even in the same race.

Yes, there are ugly liveries out there, and there would be in GT if the feature were included - but there's already eye-searing paint/wheel combos, and like every other online aspect of the game, your experience depends on whom you're sharing it with.
 
Exactly, in any online environment you are always going to have things you dislike about the other people you are playing with if they are just the general public. With a site like gtplanet organising racing events you would never need to fear seeing those horrid paintjobs and everything could be organised in a controlled way. I would certainly rather have the feature than not have it just because of some anime cars! Personally it doesnt bother me at all how people decorate them, makes it interesting.

As much as I want to mock for the god aweful colour the overall appearance of that Z4 is superb, I have to agree on the option to disable online so you don't have to view etc, But that is one thing GT5 lacks and that is options, Hopefully PD will learn from your example and take notice of what can be achieved with a well thought out editor/creator whatever you like to call it.

The main way I see it is if you can put racing tyres on a roadcar on GT5 what is to stop one from making it into a fully fledged racer/ race car replica.

I want to see designs like this, not some half naked random stuff. That's what I want to see from this feature if in GT6. You know why I like race designs more, I made some myself but they're made up and I like it. :D But I'll want to race or cruise right after but it takes sooo long. :indiff: Btw, cool design.
