I think it depends on what sort of game it is. If it's more like Hot Pursuit 2010, I'd welcome them, but if there's customization, I'd rather they not show up if they aren't going to let us to much in the way of modifying their appearance beyond some GT3 bodykits. I want stuff like the Liberty Walk 458, y'know? (I think one of the Forza games somehow got that kit, too.)
Anyway, if Ferrari was to show up in either sort of game, I wonder what models we'd wanna see? I think a decent amount of models that were in Heat would be redundant, like the various convertible versions of models that were already included, such as the 458. I also don't see a need to include the 488 Pista alongside the normal 488, nor the FXXK Evo alongside the LaFerrari. I'd definitely keep the Testarossa, though, but I'd also wanna see stuff like the 812 or GT4CLusso. But if we're gonna have a game more in the vein of HP2010, it's then that I think the devs should prioritize convertibles, especially models that only come in a convertible version like the Portofino, or even the old 550 Barchetta Pininfarina from HP2. I also could see the 458 and 488 getting scrapped in favor of their latest successor, the F8 Tributo.
Heck, if they really wanted to make a new Hot Pursuit-styled game, I even had ideas of which modern models could fill the niches of those from HP2. The F50 would be replaced with the SF90 Stradale, the 360 Spider would be replaced with the 488 Spider, and the 550 Barchetta Pininfarina would be replaced with the 812 GTS. Easy.
But I think the answer of whether Ferrari would be more welcome in a future NFS game with modification is a bit less clear. I'd say that Ferrari really sticks out in a bad way when all you can do is equip quasi-OEM bodykits like the GT3 kit on their models. And besides Liberty Walk, what other real-world options do you suppose there'd be for bodykits? I think it'd still be a bit disappointing to just get Liberty Walk and some made-for-game kits. Isn't Novitec one such company?
