The one thing I wish for most in GT4 is visual upgrades...

I played GT3 to death, but always found it irritating how a highly-tuned performance vehicle would look exactly the same as ir did when first arriving in your garage. You can pick your paint color (in most cases) and wheels, but that's it! I undertand that GT4 will be no different. Sorta leaves a large stone un-turned regarding automobile ownership/enthusiasm (not to mention realism). No. I'm not interested in bodykits and stickers... but something. For example, when purchasing "Lightweight Stage 3," parts could visibly be shaved off your car... or a N/A upgrade might result in larger air intakes.

I realize that this would be a challenge due to the number of cars in the game and the fact that the PS2 is already being beaten to its limits. But GT4 is unfortunately behind-the-curve in this respect. Being able to watch my car progress visually would certainly make me a happier racer.
 
You want the mirrors shaved off the cars? Haha, j/p. Most of the parts they are talking about in "Lightweight Stage X" are inside of the cars. The only visual upgrade would be the ride height was up a few inches. Unless you want a true "in car" view....:lol:
 
Why create this thread when theres a ton of them already around? GT4 will have body kits for some cars, by body kits KY was most likely referring to the race mod's that vanished after GT2.
 
^he said besides bodykits

I suggested this waaay back, but how bout Tow Hooks, hood pins, Safety net on the windows, perhaps a "straight pipe" style muffler? and any moron that automatically thinks "go play Need for Speed Underground" can go suck a nut cuz you obviously know nothing about racing.
 
Okay I just read visual mods. Theres a thread below discussing bodykit modifications.
 
yeah, that's what i thought, s'all good though. I was just trying to save this thread from turning into that thread and then have people flame about the whole "bodykit-GT-NeedForSpeed" thing.
 
what's everyone's stand on Number Plates anyway? Like a circle or square with a nice big number on the side of your car? I think it'd be pretty cool for online matches where everyone's racing a specified car; it would help identify who's who.

Personally, I can't wait for some Touring Car races or something to pop up so I can take an Accord Euro-R out there.
 
I think cars should have something to make them different, I don't think everyone would want a massive number on the side of thier car, but maye the drivers name could be on the rear and side windows.
 
yeah, I meant for the number thing to be optional. Personally, I think the cleaner the car the better it looks. I like the names on the side windows idea, but with the lack of peripheral vision, I think a big number would be easier to spot.
 
Have the name on the rear window as well then. But if you had the choice of number or mane, or both that would be best.
 
Call me a pain in the ass if it makes you feel better but if you're after personlisation then hit one of the threads where we already went into designing helmets, names on quarter panels and other such things.
