That souped up Mini

[sher_da_putt]

My number one feature for GT5 would be a livery editor, and kits for cars, so when people pointed out that mini, coming past that sls on the straight on that video was decaled and had a spoiler, I couldn't stop looking at it. Ive made this thread to see if anyone knows if that is a real car, or something that has to be creatable from ingame (I hope it is)

Obviously, it could easily be a 'Concept by GT' which I hope it isn't.

Right, heres the Mini.

Here is an unusual GTR v-spec, what's that white thing?? Decal I say.

This ones not that clear, but you can kinda see a black stripe between the lights of this yellow lambo.

The closest thing I could come up with was a Mini Challenge look-alike.

The only thing is... It's still an R53. No sign of any R56s yet

IMO R53's are superior . I might be biased since i own one, but hey, as long as mine is in the game im happy.

Although to honest, i have recently had the pleasure of driving a brand new John Cooper Works and the power is fantastic, handling not as good as R53 though.

It could be a John Cooper Works

Can someone provide an image? Dont have a clue what this is about.

If not an image... a link to the video?

[Sele1981]

What happens there with the right front side from the mini :S

 

[Krymzen18]

That is definately not a John Cooper Works. From the looks of it, the spoiler and side skirts, the number decal and the other decals shout out at me that there is some sort of editor in the game.

 

[webbo]

Oh please let this be true/

 

[Slurm]

If no-one can identify it, it's potentially a significant clue to an editor.

BUT what's to say it's not just one of GT's "tuned" cars?

 

[yeti]

It says something on the number plate - that's often a good clue as to what the car is in GT...

[Rob192005]

Unless I'm mistaken it says cooper s on the number plate.

 

[sher_da_putt]

r1600 nice picture! Hadn't seen that one yet, now im even more confident, we need some one from tokyo to show a picture of the race line up, im praying it just says mini cooper, and not tuned, or John Cooper Works

 

[G.T.Ace]

Racemodification?
Its not a Challenge and not a JCW.

 

[chepe371]

Oh please let this be true/

IF it is let us PRAY that they allow custom image uploading, because i dont want to "work with" cheesy prefab badges and logos, seen too many of those already.

But i can see it now, a whole forum dedicated to showcasing and sharing skins and livs.

The Plate says (Mini) Cooper S.
maybe it's a custom race modified version???, the roof looks like a custom black red and white union jack, or a Dead Kennedys logo.

 

[sher_da_putt]

Race mod, could be but, considering livery editor was set for GTHD, I think im 90% sure now PD just put that unusual mini in the demo to give us a hint for a livery editor, honestly, the march 2010 release doesn't hurt so much knowing we can finaly show of our exterior skills.

That would be pretty awesome. And even if it's just prefabricated badges and logos, it is way better than no editor at all.

But I definitely want to see a full and unrestricted editor.

EDIT: Poster below is right, could be a "Tuned by GT" type car.

 

[Kinetic]

Don't get so far ahead just yet, this kinda assuming is what happend with the release, just hold fire with the firworks untill it's confirmed

 

[RazzlDazzle]

Yes, I see "Cooper S" on the plate...

 

[sher_da_putt]

Yeah hopefully it is just cooper s on that plate.

 

[Sivers]

Good spot by magicalgin. Thought I'd add it to this thread.

I made these SS's on

Look at the GT-R.. it has some white decal or something. Livery editor anyone?

Livery editor looking pretty likely. I love the way PD have partialy revealed this. They're like, 'Livery editor? Oh right. Yeah, we thought we might as well.'

 

[Slurm]

was just about to make a new thread about this. The evidence is starting to accumulate with these suspicious, unidentifiable cars.

I wouldn't even be disappointed if it's only a very limited editor that allows for simple stripes, numbers and manufacturer's decals.

Maybe the OP could change the title to "Livery editor clues from TGS" or some such.

Here's another potential one:

and I agree, Sivers, I love how PD choose to reveal their work when they decide to unveil it. I'm starting to enjoy watching these new videos. It's like a treasure hunt

 

[Robin]

Im thinking they are more likely to be 'PD concept' cars because if it was a livery editor job surely someone at TGS would have picked up on that by now, im suprised no one has asked KY what they are about!

As for the livery editor, anything short of Forza 3 level would be a dissapointment.

Well every other game is a dissappointment then.
Because forza 3 is god at livery editor.

I didnt really care about the livery editors in those other games because the shelf life of the game itself is probably not going to even last as long as the livery editor! Everyone knows GT is a game which can last half a decade!

Besides Forza's livery editor is pretty much the same as all the others, like the one in MCLA or SCC, its almost like everyone just clones Forza's one!

Robin.

 

[QuantumReaction]

well lets just hope the livery editor will be at least in the same level as Ferrari challenge

 

[CarBastard]

I'd say 75% chance we get livery editor and more tunning. Thats not a JCW or a Challenge, and the GT-R doesnt have a graphic glitch as someone said (you think PD would take a glitched demo to their beloved TGS?). Very possible we get one...If we ever get GT5 .

Well, there Are people who like the idea and will Spend a LOT of Time Doing Liveries, like me:tup:

About the quality, Forza Editor is GOD at Liveries, has some glitches though, like the game itself :/

I want KY to have balls and release a Photoshop Plugin for GT5 livery editor so you'd have a restricted size at which you could work and upload a full texture then to the game via USB or something and then before a race it'd download your custom file once and then it'd stay on your hard drive. That'd be my idea of the perfect livery editor
