Guys lets talk about the constant wet/rainy effect, are you guys tired of seeing the cars wet even in the garage.

I am a little 'iffy' about the 'spray' being on-screen in-game, never really been a fan of 'lets make the player's visuals all obscure', hope there'll be a option to remove or turn it off.

You never see 'the movies' do that, there's never any 'dust/rain/sparks/etc' splashed against our 2D viewing surface from Hollywood, why put it in a racing game other than 'immersion' ? (despite there being no 'cockpit' view where it'd be better used)

Apparently it seems like its constantly raining in this game and the reason behind it based on what ghost games said its because it looks cool and it was raining in L.A when they were doing the photography/research

I know but putting a criminal on the cover of the game seems well a bit daft.

Well considering all the criminal activities your going to be partaking in, I wouldn't say it really matters.

This whole game is based on those types of "criminal activities." I'm not sure why you'd point that out, but not the game itself.

it's a game, I'm not putting anyone in danger, so why glorify someone who is?

You answered your question with your first three words....

Look, Ghost Games and EA are not saying you should follow Morohoshi-san's act in the real world. Heck, there is a notice at the start of the game which advises players to keep their racing activities to a track. What his presense does do it make the story mode more authentic, nothing else. Featuring people involved in real life criminal activity isn't new to gaming.

The fact is that your upset about a game representing criminal activity then why play and support a game thats obviously influencing this activities in the real world as well. Someones picture is not going to have as much of an effect compared to the stuff they're actually influencing. Thats why I'm confused as to why you'd be bothered by a picture rather then the hooning ideas that they're putting into peoples minds.

They are representing that world already, without him.
 
All i know is that i better not see any kids trying to hoon their ricemobiles late at night after the game comes out

Still don't agree, a lot of people who play these games will google what these "racers" "outlaws" do and they'll find tons more gloryfing videos on Youtube of criminals endangering people on public highways.

We had fictional characters in previous NFS games before and it worked, I'm not saying people will be influenced I'm saying why are we rewarding criminals by making them even more famous for well being criminals?

Having drag racing with auto will just negate the purpose because everyone can just mash the gas and it will end in a 4-way tie.

Just like actual drag racing. :p

Ventura isn't trademarked. It's just a regular name that existed for well over a century if not longer. Even Ace Ventura predated the existence of Rockstar Games by 4 years.

If you're gonna release a game in the future, you might as well show off the game's graphical abilities.

Whether the story mode characters are fictional or not, I reckon you are still going to find the "googlers" you describe doing research about real life street racing. @ImaRobot has summed up my thoughts on this subject perfectly - The whole game evolves around an illegal activity so if any user's actions are to be influenced by the game, I'm sure more than one character is to blame.

They wont have to google anythin because everything they need to know is availabe through the games activities and ideals. With or without these characters. These ideas are already glorified, no matter who is in the picture.

You both make valid points, but couldn't they have gotten someone with the persona of an outlaw instead of the actual gangster real life criminal?
 
Honestly i don't care about story lines/narrative in racing games,need for speed true stars and icons always being the cars and the environments you racing in.off course now customization is being added to the mix but the true formula or the core values were fast cars and epic roads and i guess I'm gonna get eaten for saying this.

I'm not gonna hate the game cause of the choice of characters or icons they chose,honestly the only icons that i knew about were ken block and recently i found out about Nakai-San when i finally google RWB and i remember seen an article about morohoshi follow by a documentary about him and was quite impressed being a Lamborghini fan.through Nakai -San i saw a video of Magnus Walker.

It's funny because Morohoshi's act in the real world isn't represented in the game to begin with. He's not known as a street racer, he just happens to have a car that has gained a large following on the web because it's very different from what's expected. It's the same with Magnus, Block, etc.; they're in the game because of their cars, not because of their professions.
 
Honestly I don't think Morohoshi-san being a yakuza would be an issue. This is a racing game first and foremost, and we have been running away from cops ever since the first NFS Hot Pursuit on PS1. The type of people who are dumb enough to emulate that in real life will most likely do it anyway, real icon or not. For most of the playerbase I think we are smart enough to appreciate his cars without also copying his real lifestyle.
