If GT5 does incorporate a livery editor...

Seriously, for the people who do care about it, the output isn't trot.

Being able to paint any livery you can think of doesn't appeal at all?

It does to me which I've mentioned before in this thread, most people who are against are either only looking at the negative consequences ( which are undoubtedly going to appear, just like some of GT4's photomode pictures I saw with certain classic cars with completely inappropriate modern rims, etc. but somehow nobody's complaining about photomode because of that ) are only interested in everybody being limited to creating real life liveries ( otherwise it wouldn't be real somehow ) or are simply not creative or skilled and therefore can't be bothered or concieve of the endless beautiful or at least interesting possibilities it could also offer.
Or just being fun trying.:)
 
Akira I'm saying using rewind will tag a dirty lap on forza 3 if you dont believe me that's fine.

Not to mention, if GT did take up one thing from FM3 that would be beneficial, the store front idea could be it. It'd allow the people who aren't especially creatively-inclined to still purchase liveries that interest them. It's brilliant, really, and it's too bad some people are so focused on only rooting for one game that they skip over the fact that both have features that the other could benefit from.

(And you're not alone on the Photomode innapropriateness; the amount of cars with utterly unsuitable spoilers tacked on always disappointed me)
 
This feature won't be missed by me. I'd much rather look at the nice cars than endless paint jobs that teenagers think look cool.

I only have to look around the streets on where I live to see the horrible body kits and pointless stickers everywhere detailing how the car was "prepared". Most of it is just really poor taste.

If they do add this feature to GT6, i hope there is an option to turn it off online (just see standard cars instead of all the decals).
 
I think the penis argument is due to rear it's ugly head.

^ edit. The comunity dissagrees with you. More would like a livery editor than a track editor.
You are entitled to your opinion of course.
 
I have absolutely no idea why people don't want this in. If you don't want to paint your car, you would have that right. Yet, if other people want to, why would you want to take that freedom of customization from them? If you don't like their paint job, beat them out of the corner and put them in your rear view mirror.

I think people just like to complain...
 
Race car liveries are a far cry from people who rice their road cars.

If the track editor had been fully featured, people could and most likely would have made tracks in the shapes of penises. If that had been the case, should that have been left out too?

I think it's because it's confirmed not to be in.
Skid marks was similar. When the thought of them not being in was popular people didn't want pd wasting time with something that doesn't add to the game.
Since it has been confirmed it now considered to be really immersive and a fantastic addition.

I've never played Forza but I've heard ( and saw a lot of really nice creations and ofcourse countless dubious ones as well ) the livery editor is a really nice feature.
I wasn't having a dig at people who aren't creative by the way ( as you will know ) but mainly used it to illustrate an argument by some to say they therefore aren't bothered, an issue which the store front idea would perhaps solve if they saw a created livery they liked.

About inappropriate or dubious livery, photomode or customization creations or choices in general.
It comes with the ability or choices given, can't have the good without the bad I'm afraid.
Fashion goes around in circles, bad taste unfortunately remains a constant.:)
 
I'd even be happy if PD allowed us to paint our cars a color of our choosing. A full-featured livery editor would be best, but any amount of personalization/customization would be very much welcomed.

It does absolutely appeal to me but I know I'd put in 100% effort in doing so. Indeed I created livery for another forum and it took me a few days to get it right absolutely right because I put my heart and soul in to representing the forum with a nice logo.

I guess I just got fed up of doing a search for designs and scrolling pages down before I got to anything of note.

The ability the change colors is a real possibility, some years back, around the time of Vision GT there was a trailer that PD put out showing a car changing colors through something like a paint palette, this time around I would expect using RBG to be a bit more precise with colors.
 
This is why I wanted to have a livery editor, I spent hours and hours on Forza 2 creating the liveries below:

It was very rewarding to have people bid each other out so they could have a copy,
There was also the community colab cars which were fantastic,
There was **** there aswell but for the most part the community actual policed and reported liveries that were agaisnt the rules so generally you saw lesss and less as time went on.

The livery editor also meant people could create liveries for cars that really existed but the version wasn't in game,
eg: the Peugeot 908 was in Forza but it was the old colour scheme, despite the new one being Playstation sponsored the community still created the new version for people to dowload, as was the case for the BMW M3 Art Car and hundreds of other race cars.
A livery editor isn't needed of course but it added a whole new dimension to Forza, and if done similar in GT could have created a whole new branch to the already thriving GT community.

C'est la Vie I guess.
 
For me, I don't need livery editor. But I do want to have the same custom livery in NFS underground. It's simple and will put an end on the penis livery argument. Plus the car is more beautiful if it had a simple livery. Upclose the artistic livery looks good, but when it's moving around the track, it looks ricey. No offense to anyone, just my opinion.

You know, people love to misuse derogatory phrases that just do not apply. Explain how someone's expression of what their car should look like (in a video game no less) is anything remotely similar to "rice"?

It's quite strange that a livery editor sounds like a cool feature but looking through Forza's Storefront 99% of it is absolute trot. Why waste time on a feature that people really don't care for or care enough to put effort in to designs.

If you look at youtube 99.99% of it is total crap too, but there are literally thousands of really great videos and valuable clips on there along with the crap.

Similarly in Forza the the paint jobs are mostly crap, but there is some definite cream rising to the top there...

In fact if you look at custom paint jobs in real life you will see a lot of crap compared to the really good ones too... in real life you see a little less crap becuase you have to invest money in it to make it happen so people tend to be a little more careful, but still, the fact that the vast majority is unimpressive is just how things are with almost any custom content.

The real story is the quality custom liveries... there are ones that you would think were built into the game they are so good. Those cream of the crop ones as well as just any old joe schmoes ability to make his car really his are why livery editors are so great.

Somehow, I doubt Polyphony Digital will give us this ability (I certainly hope I'm wrong though!).

But...why?

I totally understand racing liveries (only if they're good replicas or perfect custom) but these.....
 
Perhaps the person is fond of the Lord of the Rings? 💡

So what if it isn't a racing livery, what's the point of even having such a feature if your creativity is stifled? It's not always about "professional" liveries, or what you would deem excusable. Let the person create what they want to create, if it goes against the agreement (as in it's malicious) let the developers deal with it...no one is forcing you to look at it, or deal with it. Just move on and carry out the rest of your day.

It's not my style either, but you have to respect some people just have different tastes. It's not some mustachioed Nazi penis though, so it's not like it's offensive.

Just working on recreating real-life liveries and previous PD-designed Racing Mods would take up months and months of my time. It's too bad a livery editor was deemed not important enough, again.
 
It really is a shame we don't have a livery editor. All those would be Lord of The Ring cars none of us will get the pleasure of driving.:guilty:
 
I was just asking a question :lol: look at the reactions.


Anyway, freedom is not always a good thing:

That's exactly why I'm bringing this up....it occurs that I've seen in fm3, during online races, cars with swastikas, racist insults, 666 etc...
Of course after each race I reported these things but I'm sure no disciplinary actions were taken by microsoft.

That is exactly why I am glad they didn't put one in. I am still hopeful that we are given the ability to put decals in similar to the ones featured on NASCAR (for example), but I do not want to see anime porn on the cars online.
 
Or maybe include an option to switch off seeing liveries while online like a player mute function?

Come on guys, the problems we dig up with to justify what's not in the game...
