If you're going to waste time on a Livery Editor, which people want it to be like FM's, then how can you not add something so simple as neons? They're both for looks and nothing more. It doesn't add to how a car drives and making a car look like a real world race car's counterpart doesn't make it's specs the same. That's what all the race cars in GT are there for.
Again, I'm not saying we need neon lights in GT, but who cares if there is? Same argument with people saying they don't want to see others' crappy looking cars Online. That's not a good argument.
You're ignoring the fact that people do care about having it in the game whether you like it or not. Think about all the people who have and use FM for the Livery Editor alone. I wasn't someone who cared if they added the option to put wheels on the Standard cars. Now that it's here, what's so bad about having the option to do it? Some of you guys are acting like it's "newbish" to add neons to a car. It seems elitist.
Yea, that's ALL it does. For ****s sake, be a little more open-minded.
You can say it about something like this, obviously. Adding neon to the exterior of any car is going overboard and distracting.
Also, you can't deny how many people (MILLIONS!!!) who would want to replicate "The Fast and the Furious" cars. Denying something, because of how not serious it is isn't a good argument. Plain and simple.
Neon lights in FM at this stage would suck. Neon lights on Night tracks would add something to night racing online in GT.
Waste time on a livery editor, lol. I'm sorry, but neons, Thank the Lord, will most certainly never be in GT5, or any other one after. Simple? More simple than a livery editor maybe, but not simple by any means, because, unlike rims, it's almost certain that they'd have to create different length neons for each car, seeing that a lot of the cars are different lengths (apart from the ones that are in the game more than once) not to mention the detail (if they make it visible like the ones in some pictures I've seen) and the solors as well, it may sound "easy" but I bet it, by no means is. I'll put it to you this way: the difference between neons and a livery editor, obviously, is the ability you have with one, and the ability you have with the other. In other words, neons, are simply colored lights you put under your car to light up the ground (for what ever purpose that serves I will never understand) so basically, yes, I have an unjust hatred for them, I have never seen a car that was made better by neons, its that simple. With a livery editor on the other hand, you can create any paint scheme you want. ANY! (If it's a deep enough editor that is). With the right car, I could create any race car in the world that the game doesn't already have, or any famous car. The General Lee, Herbie, the cars from The Fast and the Furious, and so on. Neons, the only cars worth recreating are the ones from The Fast and the Furious. (and personally, I think those cars looked a lot better without neon in the day scenes). I don't think that they're "newbish" I just think that they're rediculous. And as much as I hate to be redundant about it, but seriously, that is what NFS and Midnight Club are for. I'm one of those people that like Forza merely for its livery editor, I can't tell you how many times I've contemplated getting an Xbox *gasp* just for that, obviously though, that would be a waste of money. The people who care about it? Lets put this in perspective, if I were to put up a poll between what people would rather have: Neon, or a livery editor, we obviously know what would win, and by a large margin. Also, to point it out, the poll on this page kind of speaks for itself as well. Well apart from lighting up the ground what does it do? You tell me, what does it do for your car other than lighting up the ground?
I want you to tell me, in true honesty,that neon makes that car look any better. To say its for looks, is, in essence, about on par with what people say when they want the ability to add ginormous rims to their cars:
Oh God.......excuse me while I kill myself..............again.............. but before I do, one last thing, no I can't deny that there are "millions" of people that would like to recreate the cars from The Fast and the Furious, (personally, I would too) but honestly? How many of those "millions" do you honestly think that they want to recreate those cars purely for the neon, or would be "extremely disappointed if they didn't have any neons on them? I could bet no more than 100, and that's stretching it, because I'd rather say none. To finish though, I would rather have neon in the game than some rediculously large rims, indefinitely. Personally though, on a list of things that PD are planning to add to this game, neons have to be pretty damn low on that list.
Also, on a side note, I did used to think that neon was "cool" when I played NFS Underground (the first one), but now that I'm older, I honestly think it's a bit immature for some reason, but thats just me.
