This is the discussion thread for an article on GTPlanet:

Need for Speed Unbound Customization Options Detailed: Decals, Wheels, Bodykits, and Cutaways​

EA has released more information on Need for Speed Unbound ahead of its December 2 launch, this time detailing arguably one of the most important aspects of the game: car customization...

 

[Obelisk]

Some of the mods in the preview and images are horrifying to me, and IMO would not be out of place in the questionable modifications thread.

 

[SWAGMASTER69]

So like...maaaaybe every car gets a single, sometimes quite questionable bodykit in "Khyzyl Saleem" style with a couple of variable parts (but I doubt that every car will) and you get the option to remove hoods and bumpers...just like the hackers did in every 2015-alike nfs game, it's just official now. Otherwise, everything else is the same as in 2015/payback/heat. Every car has some parts and some common parts like tinted headlights and mirrors.

This is what happens when kids growup with Instagram as their only source of the outside world.

GT7 is way cooler! You can change your type of headlight bulb for 300 Credits! So why would anyone want to play this game?
Aren't all driving games the "Real Driving Simulator? " LOL Throw in a rollbar for 3500 and remove my OEM wing for another 350, we got some realism right there.

I sincerely hope this game crashes and burns and catastrophically fails on the market, because I don't want other racing games to take ideas from it for the future.

 

[strela]

That actually looks awesome. I always loved how creative Khyzyl and Jasiddesign are when it comes to car builds. And I hope NFS will continue in that direction.
Also panda wheels and sexy exhaust pipes in every racing game!

 

[VXR]

I don't hate the extreme stuff, to be honest. At least it's different to what you can do elsewhere.

 

[05XR8]

True, good that players can create unique, maybe one of one creations. Imagine GT7 with such options(yeah I know, I know we’d never get the parts with its roulette system).

 

[PJTierney]

That Defender though 👀

 

[VinylRichie]

Im just jealous for the BMW M1, nothing else

 

[StealthVel]

And people said Underground 2 was a ricer's paradise

 

[RedRockValley]

Again, the "customisation" in this game is just taking inspiration from generic "3D car tuning render" pages you'll see scattered all across social media.

Completely incoherent, UG2 had some pretty crazy bodykits but it made much more sense than some of the dross presented here.

I can't wait to see what people can do once they get their hands on the game. I know there will be some garbage but there also some really good d signs as well

I usually am shy to post but I had to this time.

Makes trash like Justin Bieber and his kind look good.

I mean look at that!! It almost looks like the non-battle royale Fortnite of racing games! Just abominable...

Looks like not too many companies will be taking ideas on how to make racing games from Polyphony after their latest debacle.
GT7 is crashing and burning as we speak.

 

[EngieDiesel]

The more i look at these, the more it looks like the output of those AI-generated art sites. But then again most of the more recent NFS games had some pretty hideous looking fictional parts for cars that never actually had real body kits, so it's not that far off-brand really.

Now whether it's possible to make something that looks tasteful and still unique among this morass of "I'm a B-list rapper who needs to dispose of a half million dollars before the taxman comes for me" tackiness... that's going to be the real challenge, I feel.

 

[kjb]

I love all of the options. So things like the pizza wheels are a bit much, hopefully when you chop the roof the interior is accurate. Hopefully they have so low profile wings. I love the hoonicorn defender!

More cars in this one:

I ship Spoon parts overnight riving in a ricers paradise.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

That Nissan wouldn't look out of place in Carmageddon. Probably about the same lethality too

 

[Mister_XFR]

I’ll take too much customization over not enough… hope the driving physics have improved over Heat.

🤣🤣🤣

This. You're always free to not use the stuff you don't like. I think outrageous modding fits the theme. You can do stuff you would never be able to do in other games or would even think about doing in real life. Or not, it's all good. Don't take this stuff too seriously.

Underrated post. RIP Coolio.

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

I mean... they're certainly inspired. Some of them are a bit too 'out there' though. Bosozuku Fairlady? I can deal with that. Roof mounted intercooler and front bumper removal on an M1? Yeah, nah.

I will give the modern NFS games this though, they tend to highlight the type of stuff the dudebro Instagram crowd love in trailers and promo material, but there are always much more tasteful options present and you can make stuff more akin to what most people would actually want/drive.

 

[MockngBrd]

I not fond of that style of customisation but I don't mind that it's there.

 

[Moglet]

I'm loving all of the crazy OTT customisation, it's a video game so why not go a bit nuts with it when you can do anything you want? I just hope that the more flamboyant mods are parts you can switch out and not 1 piece kits you apply and then all other parts are locked. I fear that they are the latter though.

I also like that the Defender appears to show interior mods as the seats have changed!

Justin Bieber has released some absolute bangers over the last few years, why the hate?

 

[Auditore]

People asked for more customization,they didn't ask for tasteful costumization 😂

 

[INEEDNAWZZZ]

Interior mods are definitely welcome, always used to weird me out in older NFS games (or any game with visual and performance modifications really) when you have some souped-up, 200+ MPH speed machine with wild body mods... and the interior shows stock seats and gauges. I obviously understand why it isn't a thing in most games but it was something I always notice.

My first reaction to the videos for this game was, "man, what are people into these days?" before realizing I was a teenager when NFS Underground launched and I thought that was the coolest game ever to let me do unspeakable, tasteless modifications to my cars.
