(POLL) Do you think a livery editor should be in GT5?

[Samus]

Livery should be at the bottom end of the priority list. It's just a gimmicky feature. Adds nothing to overrall core gameplay

Yeah, suits and helmets add so much more to the game.

 

[ghostrider135]

That's exactly why I started one, that way so I could say for sure that the people that want it outnumber the people that don't want it.

Everybody REMEMBER, if you want a livery editor, vote for it here: http://feedback.gtplanet.net/forums/96709-gt5-feedback/suggestions/1429381-livery-editor?ref=title

Just for that Sir if we did get one and we can share them Ill personally try to make one for you

Yep of course people can see them online can't they . It's all about individuality atleast people can have something nice to look at with a decent livery.

Gimmicky feature? Are you serious? What else could be added to "core" gameplay other than a few more cars and tracks?

Awww, you just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

 

[Samus]

Liveries are just a part of modern racing, you'll be hard pushed to find any professional racing series that don't race cars with liveries on them. I see no reason why it's not a good thing to have them. I mean in real life people can ruin their cars in various ways that you might not like, does that mean you think they should be banned and everyone drive around in stock looking cars?

 

[R3D D3V!L]

I think it should. Being able to paint a car in classic race schemes is brilliant.

 

[Hastatus]

Think the poll shows a pretty foregone conclusion that one is wanted.

There is a big difference between:

'Do you want a livery editor?' an immediate, lustful, emotional desire - small picture people - a first person response

vs

'do you think a livery editor should be in GT5?' a thoughtful opinion that considers how it might actually impact the rest of the game - big picture people - third person response

I would love to design the look of my car, and yet I don't think there should be one in GT5.

 

[CC570]

It is not a feature I would use. But, that is not to say I think it shouldn't be included. As long as I could turn it off.

Erm hate to point something blatantly obvious out but how would it not add to the core of the game it would save PD lots of time in the long run, Think about it logically all the racing colour schemes of road cars that have been used for racing purposes, Ferrari's Lamborghini's Mclarens, Bmw's Fords the list goes on and on and on if PD were to spend time creating said cars and liveries how long would it take them, If we had the base car for example Bmw E30 and a livery editor simple have a livery and new car in the game within hours or less.

 

[zapiy]

100 percent. It's this that gives the tuning community that much more. An identity.

 

[Bones Brigade]

I think it is unnecessary to include a full livery editor. It is yet another feature that PD would have to devote additional time to for a game that has bigger problems. Other ideas need to be expanded and completed before we get another quarter-hearted feature.

For instance, only 16 of 1000 cars can be turned into track machines. Expand this. Take it to all premiums first. Then expand the feature itself. Make a basic RM that is more akin to what is done in real life, minimal body work, bolt in roll cages, etc. The current RM would be the upper echelon tube frame, fiberglass body, full fledged rave cars.

Expand this feature to promote further customization without doing something completely different while leaving already incorporated ideas underdeveloped.

Introduce different schemes for both tiers of RM and allow players to choose multiple colors for said schemes. For instance, the Corvettes have a two color scheme but the black must always remain black. Let us change the color. As this is expanded, we will inch closer to the livery editor people want.

In short, do not introduce another idea that will not be complete. Instead, finish and improve current features to achieve similar results. This will further polish the game and give more control to the player without going into uncharted (for PD) ground.

 

[Hypertek]

I would love it.. Have a feature that would make it easy to report an offensive image like pressing X over a screen name in the room and selecting "Report offensive image" and that would block that player's skin for everybody.

This feature would take away Forza's greatness imo

I dont know how forza does it, but i figure make it so we can upload jpeg or bmp to our ps3, than from teh game be able to import those images as a decal onto the car in certain areas.

Like I've said before, what people don't recognize is that we wouldn't need an RM button if we had a livery editor. All that is keeping that 1300 kg 700 hp Mustang in your garage from being a racing machine is a livery editor. Doing it yourself saves PD time and money, and in the long run it would be simpler for PD to give us a livery editor than create 1000 more RM cars.

Exactly! 👍

Funny how people complain about seeing crappy looking cars in a video game when they're everywhere in the real world.

 

[zedextreme8177]

Me wants it. It would be a great feature, and provides a much more visible method of individuality than the borderline-useless helmets and suits.

But there should be an option to turn it off for online races, since some might be offended by certain images

Of course, with GT5, there's more important stuff to fix before this

 

[Tenacious D]

Just peeking in here before getting back to GT5. Sick to DEATH of messing with Forza 3 homework before installing F4.

I will grant Forza one horrendous advantage over Gran Turismo: the ability to add bodykits and liveries of your own design to any sports car, and turn it into a race car suitable for a number of racing leagues just shy of doing full on chassis conversion and axle widening. This is just huge, and the only real reason I kept going back to the Forza series.

If we could Race Mod any car in GT5, and add liveries of my own design to it, I'd never touch another racer, no matter how marginally better the physics are. Except the next Gran Turismo, of course.

And in case the complainers are still there - do I even need to ask?? - games which offer cusom liveries like Forza offer a simple solution to please everyone:

ALLOW CUSTOM LIVERIES: Yes / No

DISPLAY CUSTOM LIVERIES: Yes / No

There is now world peace!

 

[Jashmid]

I know I'll end up using it no more than a handful of times. But that's just me. Can't see why it shouldn't be in the game.

If PD's excuse is being classy and different than other games, it's utter nonsense (like many of their other excuses).

 

[E28]

GT6: Without a doubt.
GT5: It'd be nice.

I said no only because like any team, PD has limited resources. This feature is not important to me personally, so personally I would prefer they spent their resources developing other features. This is merely a matter of priorities to me, and a livery editor is not one of my top priorities. I would hope that it eventually makes it's way into the GT series though.

 

[GTShadowKing]

Heck ****ing yes!!!

 

[terminator363]

I want something like DLC livery not one you can make yourself. Those just suck because all the cars have crazy scribbles etc. on them.

For example I would prefer something like: BMW race mod livery for every BMW or Deutsch Post livery race mod for Mercedes and Audi (the vehicles for that don't exist though)

I hope you get my point.

👍👍

The right way, as well. This thread proves that not everybody is on the same level with this. Adding a livery editor like FM's is a no-no because of it's complexity to fully use. Adding a decent amount of various exterior parts (more body kits, spoilers, the basics) won't satisfy the people that want something like FM's accessorizer.

 

[FahrerGott]

Something simple like the livery customization in Codemasters GRID would be good. Just enough to personalise your car for online racing. You know a few lines and shapes and pick a number.

Just realised you can actually change the number on your RM car

 

[JR86]

I want it to be a bit like NFS ProStreet where you could pick 2 tones and candy colour paints

 

[ghostrider135]

Awww, you just made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside!

Haha a livery creator would make me all warm and fuzzy inside and out even in this Great British winter .

 

[masterrawad]

what about engine swaps for drag racing junkies? and offset tires for a select few? and those hoods with those overratedly huge engines sticking out!

 

[PirateThom]

I just did a tune/paint job to reflex purple/aero on an R8 and, honestly, it looks nice... it handles really well... but, damn, what I would not give to have some "sponsor logos" and so on for the car, just to make it look like a race machine... in Forza, the majority of my "paint jobs" consisted of just adding sponsor logos to make it slightly more realistic. It's not a necessity, but it would definitely be a nice addition.

A nice addition kinda sorta like the suits and helmets? I can see the future already. GT will get something, that's for sure. I doubt in an update for GT5, though.

The RM cars are more than new visuals.

Oh I forgot, new visuals and 20 more hp.

i am all about racing, dont care about livery. good poll though.
