See, this is the kind of livery editor that everyone wants in GT including me.You can also check some of the paint jobs done on google image, some people reacreated recent NASCAR liveries on V8 supercars and other cars, it looks incredible.
here are some cool replica paintjobs on Forza Motorsport and Forza Horizon:
Yes, GT needs more racing customizations. adding rear wing doesn't make the car look like a race car, we need wider tires/wheels, body kits (various racing body kits as well as tuning body kits).
Can you put a high res livery on a standard? While I'd like to see all that you desribed above, expecting liveries for all cars is a bit ambitious IMO. You're talking about creating hundreds of templates which would require quite a largechunk of resources to incorporate into the game. At best I can see this as a work in progress with maybe 100 cars+duplicates ready at launch, specifically cars that already have a base model and high profile manufacturers.
I'm guessing PD looked at the stats for GT5/6 and saw the popularity or lack thereof, of race mods vs. race cars and might move away from the former. Looks to me like a creating a race mod is basically like making a new car and there's much more bang for the buck IMO adding real cars vs. fantasy race cars.
Forza 4, Forza 5, Horizon 1 and 2 did it and they have 100s of cars. About the standards, all the standards will most likely be all 'cleaned up' for GT7 so it's possible that standards can have number plates and custom liveries.
Did the livery editor start with Forza 4? How many cars did it have at launch?
I'd love to see real race cars added in GT6 like the V8 supercars, DTM, Super GT 2014 spec cars, NASCAR 2014, Indycars, WTCC, more GT3 cars (ferrari 458, mp4 12c, the new Lambo GT3, etc...) but with the ability to have a livery on each one of them.
I hope you're wrong.
he could even gain more money out of it for putting "special" templates as dlc or "historic" liveries on the psn.
I do too, but from what I've seen in the customization aspect of the series so far; I don't see a livery editor in the future.
That's true, he could, but I don't think he's willing to do that. I've been thinking for a while that he could at least let us select multiple liveries on race cars like how we can select colors, but that so far just seems like a dream.
I'll never pay for something that should be free, Forza have free liveries but you can buy the liveries with in game credits that's the only way I'd pay for something linked to liveries, I'll never put real money for something like that. If they do that, not that it'll be noticed but I would go and play some other games where it's free... like Forza.
They've made quite a few things that gives us hope, like adding numbers on every premium cars (including race cars), so I don't see why adding something like a few pre-made liveries on GT6 with the ability to paint that livery how you want would be such an issue. That's a step toward a full livery editor in the futur (hopefully GT7).
Now that would be great! having a choice, even if the selection is a bunch of fictive liveries I wouldn't care as long as I can paint them how I want. And they should add NASCAR base models with huge numbers on the side so we can use our own numbers.
wait, if they'd do that the number of cars will downgrade from 1200 to 1000.Unacceptable.
GT needs 1000+ cars, losing 200 would be such a shame. Every single one of those 200 have their own liveries with no variations in terms of shapes, losing 200 of them would be UNACCEPTABLE like you said.
Or make liveries shareable.. So that you can take part of other peoples great knowledge in livery-making.
This stuff might take a lot of ram to elaborate, tbh i'd expect this from a next-gen title rather a current gt that has difficulties even in rendering shadows on bathurst or gauges in an online lobby.Well hopefully not all are like you thenMaybe they'll have to do a marketplace like in forza. So that the guys making liveries get something back for sharing.
Fixed. restricting such a function to only 8+ or fewer cars would be a mess.I would be fine if the standards can't have custom liveries but please Polyphony, please let there be a livery editor and we could have custom liveries for the base cars
There are so many possibilities with the Cars and the livery editor 💡
I mentioned the base cars because the base cars should have custom liveries as well.
Yes, Forza's market place was awesome, some people were generous enough to share their liveries and logos for free, some other people made you pay (in game cradits) to get theirs, it was still worth it.Well hopefully not all are like you then
Not even PD uses full-body "templates", and that was true for the PS2 assets as well.
