[unborn narwhal]

i'm assuming you ran outta money? 🤣

[fossil dune]

Nope

I just like Evo's stock BBS

[copper axle]

fitment 10/10

[worldly sparrow]

BBS is BBS, they didn't cheap out

It's rare cars come with performance ready rims from factory

But Japanese brands were known for collabs with BBS and Rays

And BMW also uses BBS rims

Even on their new cars

Which is why stock BMW M car wheels are good for performance

Unlike Corvette rims which can literally bend

Same with stock Mustang rims

[jaunty cove]

Had to make Jack's ol M3 E92 here

[fervent quarry]

what a smooth build

[jaunty cove]

Yup. Had to do some small mix match on the front and rear fenders

[worldly sparrow]

thats pretty nice, meanwhile I made the Carbon civic cruiser

[jaunty cove]

Niiice Now make the unmarked version LMAO

[jaunty cove]

Speaking of carbon.. here's the challenge series Dodge charger But with the modern decals to suit it!

[worldly sparrow]

Thats really nice

Also I shared the Carbon civic cruiser livery if someone wants it

Maybe @lucid oracle? xd

[jaunty cove]

i was tempted to do the one charger from Undercover too with the same treatment..but the challenge series charger got the best of me for the online edition

[worldly sparrow]

Oooh thats nice

[exotic parcel]

thank you

[jaunty cove]

Eyyyy nice prostreet build!

[jaunty cove]

man if only we got the mantis kit. But who knows if its just a cut thing or leftover probably not gonna see its time again..

[exotic parcel]

again

Legends update can always happen

[vocal kiln]

Does anyone got build ideas for the R35 ?

[worldly sparrow]

make it slow

[vocal kiln]

slow and low

B Class R35

[jaunty cove]

Offroad that GTR

[vocal kiln]

Rally GTR

[shy atlas]

it IS all wheel drive

[sweet yoke]

Cinematic tool moment

[vocal kiln]

Spicy

[jaunty cove]

Kinda did some small changes on the hood here.

[jaunty cove]

Looks good

[prime crystal]

I'd like to make some nice wraps but I'm always being called every 10 minutes so my flow is pretty much non-existent

I can only really do simple ones now ;-;

[vocal kiln]

Yesterday i tried to remake the Porsche GT3 race spec Livery but didn't succed

I suck at this so hard

[prime crystal]

Oh well, maybe all you need is time

And practice

Took me a few attempts to make the bottom one

[vocal kiln]

I see

maybe i'll try it someday idk with the workshift and the other games i play its kinda hard to do something

[prime crystal]

Dem black Wheels

I try to make mine a little lighter

[ruby dust]

I like my Fifteen52's glossy black

[vocal kiln]

Rummors said that there was a Retired police car who got stolen

[exotic parcel]

My next plans, but first I gotta unlock the Evo IX and S550 Mustang

[shy atlas]

There was an AR Performance Mustang? I didn't know

i may be stupid

[exotic parcel]

APR made a bunch of cars lol

[shy atlas]

The MR-S and G35 are pretty cool

G35 in Unbound when

[exotic parcel]

on god

[lavish spade]

it's a traffic car
you can probably drive it with mods

[exotic parcel]

lame

it should be a buyable customizable car

[exotic parcel]

better yet

[jaunty cove]

All on the PC side of things?

[exotic parcel]

yes

still bummed bc no widebody

[jaunty cove]

bummer

[fervent quarry]

Looks like need for speed shift's bodykit is in unbound too

[exotic parcel]

still no widebody unfortunately

[prime crystal]

That's really cool

The rear reminds me of the F-type

[exotic parcel]

how so

[prime crystal]

Quad pipes and the little spoiler, don't know why

[jaunty cove]

Couldnt help to use the Hot wheels Hot bird Treasure hunt as a build for this

[sweet yoke]

💀 hatch

[exotic parcel]

it's a good A class car

[shy atlas]

hatchbacks good

[exotic parcel]

My other Eclipse was B class, this one is built for A

[jaunty cove]

The Go Cart makes a comeback with subtle details

[prime crystal]

Nice wheels

[exotic parcel]

It's Repostin' Time

[prime crystal]

When'd you make those

[lavish spade]

bro spittin

[exotic parcel]

2019

[shy atlas]

It appears the US car market hates hatchbacks

The US car market needs to get over themselves

[fringe gulch]

this should be for someone but.... too bad the person can't get it because the list are jumbled

Hey, what's everyone's favourite cars/builds for A-S+ classes so far?

[worldly sparrow]

Fuck you

You ruined it

[lucid oracle]

Evo 9 feels good in A+ & S imo

[terse geyser]

OH FOR FUCK SAKE NGHTS

[surreal osprey]

YOU FUCKED IT UP YO

[exotic parcel]

YOU FUCKING RARTER

[plucky creek]

I like this bodykit

[exotic parcel]

I hate it

but it's growing on me and I want to kill myself because of it

[mint pagoda]

You ruined it we had a opportunity and you ruined it

[limpid osprey]

cool story

[limpid osprey]

oh nice, yeah i love the Evo for the A+ class, it feels nice

[exotic parcel]

cool ping

now I'm going to chop off your nuts

[limpid osprey]

Zesty.

[exotic parcel]

[vocal kiln]

1st time trying the bumper delete

the rims are meh i know

[exotic parcel]

just the color

those rims probably look sick on the R34 but you gotta have a more solid color

Xd

Eh it's a good job tho

[fossil dune]

Yeah

I really like the effort here

[worldly sparrow]

Modded livery or by hand?

The text

[harsh laurel]

By the community

[worldly sparrow]

Ooh

[harsh laurel]

When you have a garage full of "These cars"

[sweet yoke]

Are you unironically playing payback?

[glad urchin]

EA should pay me back from playing this game

[opal geyser]

Honestly, if payback had a regular upgrade system and a tweak to the physics, it would be better than heat

And the drag racing

That needed a fix

[sweet yoke]

No

Story is shit

Map is shit

Events are shit

[opal geyser]

On paper, the shifting was a good idea but it was executed a bit badly

[opal geyser]

Better than Unbound tbh

[sweet yoke]

Hell no

[opal geyser]

The story was good

[sweet yoke]

If you're 10

[opal geyser]

I saw little to no problems, yea some parts were stupid but keep in mind

This was 2017

It was a whole lot different

[sweet yoke]

And?...

Bruh people hated it back then

Payback is peak mediocrity

2015 at least has a level of immersion to it that made it somewhat enjoyable depending on who you ask

[fossil dune]

If you want a well scenario based story

Heat's way better but still for me

Unbound feels more human

[sweet yoke]

Same

Heat's premise was good but it felt so rushed

Payback's only good thing is that Theo is in it

[fossil dune]

Lina Navarro was a weak villain though

[glad urchin]

I love lootcrates

[charred wasp]

you're tragic

[lavish spade]

payback was good 😭

the map was great

and the theme music was wild

[exotic parcel]

bro 💀

the map is emptier than Undercover

[sweet yoke]

The roads were alright

But the scenery was so boring

Game in general felt empty

Though it at least had ai racers in free roam

[lavish spade]

idk i thought it was pretty cool

i liked the map

[glad urchin]

Game look like a upscale PS2

[exotic parcel]

Like I've said

while 2015 and Heat feel their age

Payback feels like it belongs in 2001

[glad urchin]

2015 still looks good Heat just doesn't at all

Playing Heat on PS5 my god

The flim grain kills it

[exotic parcel]

2015 has film grain too lmao

[sweet yoke]

Yeah but it's less noticable

Also i think the game doesn't even hit 1080p on console

But on pc with no film grain it looks amazing

Sure technologically it's crap but i love the way it looks

[glad urchin]

Less noticeable

[glad urchin]

It's 1080p on PS and 720p on Xbox

[sweet yoke]

Not 720p

It's like 960

Or something like that

[glad urchin]

Not bad

Usually I seen Xbox games being at 720

But yeah it is not as noticeable

Unfortunately 2015 isn't as good on PS5 since it is broken in a way

[sweet yoke]

Play Unbound

Issue fixed

[worldly sparrow]

Yikes

[sweet yoke]

I played it on xbox

You don't notice it

It's a bit blurry but you have to focus on it to see it

[worldly sparrow]

If you play on a phone yeah I know

[glad urchin]

My PS5 be like

[sweet yoke]

Ur console is borken

Or ur game

I have the game on pc and it kinda runs like that too but i have an ancient hdd in it

And it eventually warms up and becomes playable

[glad urchin]

I have Unbound on PC but it is not stable on my side

[glad urchin]

The game worked fine but after a patch it started to break

I am playing a trial version rn tho

[sweet yoke]

What are ur specs

Also let's move to #1019718477210194011

[sweet yoke]

goddamn

[tall grove]

My wrap finally surpassed anime as most popular. Let’s go!

[fossil dune]

[shy atlas]

when
when poor

[exotic parcel]

meanwhile my M3 GTR 24/7 livery isn't anywhere near popular 😭

[oak dock]

All available for download
(The Taz one still needs alot of work lol)

[exotic parcel]

ew

[oak dock]

That bad huh? 😂

[surreal osprey]

"The last overpowered smile."

[surreal osprey]

PLEASE tell me that's on PC.

I'm really into Acceleracers bro

[violet bane]

Why the foxbody?

[oak dock]

More so just a personal preference, thought that design would look good on it.

[worldly sparrow]

On my PC

[karmic wolf]

I'll send better quality pics tomorrow

[exotic parcel]

nice

[karmic wolf]

Thank you

[lapis ingot]

Nice

[opal geyser]

Also somehow a cop was able to keep up with me when I was going 248mph, tf did they put in the cars

[karmic wolf]

Quick question, how do I remove these arrows on the sides of pics

[sweet yoke]

stance is kinda shit

[shy atlas]

steroids

[surreal osprey]

Striple turbos

[steel wing]

Yay

[fossil dune]

Congrats

[steel wing]

It has 12 downloads, which isn't a lot, but I'm gonna savor it.

[lapis ingot]

Dead game xd

[exotic parcel]

@simple spruce Stock Miata in Montego Blue

[terse geyser]

oof thats a nice color

[worldly sparrow]

Nice

[simple spruce]

It's a stock color and a stock car, but it always looked fitting on this car frankly

I like how it has turned out

[exotic parcel]

I'm gonna customize it inevitably

no tuner car passes me in a game with customization unmolested

[simple spruce]

Hehe

Indeed

Espiecally not a Miata

The thing gets customization wherever it goes

[coral quest]

Is that your livery?

[steel wing]

Yes.

[coral quest]

Very noice !

[steel wing]

Here's a better look

[coral quest]

Was gonna ask awesome

Yeah I came to this discord I posted some of mine in the clips chat (not knowing where this chat was) was hoping to find more people that make liveries especially in this new NFS

You guys on PC or Xbox?

I'll post these here for tho so people have some my work.

Was on PlayStation tho.

Lazy Z was made 3 times before I realized EA was deleting it from the library and from my car as well (guess to graphic for rated E)

[worldly sparrow]

E

[fervent quarry]

nice livery, looks like inspired by apr performance livery

[steel wing]

I don't know that one.

[coral quest]

Yeah I'm scrolling through the chat and I seen a few people did the APR liveries. was very very nice

Screen shot the previous posts of them cars here

Evo is possibly the most known one.

[coral quest]

Yeah I wanted to Jump in late on this. Payback would of been a better game of the upgrade system was actually legit instead of their lame (enter your credit card here) system. If they would of added a legit Drag race track at the airfield I would of continued playing it but having to build the 1/4th mile yourself and get ppl to not run into you on the airfield would been awesome. I use to build the 440yard by setting up the race myself online (the only option we had) that's my best quarter mile time in the Beetle (top fuel dragster time) 🤯 one card off from having a full set of outlaw Speed, Nos, Acceleration so that's pretty quick.

[exotic parcel]

believe it or not thats not even the one from Tokyo Drift

[coral quest]

Wait what?! A replica or ?

[exotic parcel]

No, it's the AP Evil-R

[simple spruce]

The one from Tokyo drift is based on this one

[coral quest]

...um...wow 😳

[exotic parcel]

one of their ACTUAL demo cars

[simple spruce]

This is the real life AR Evo 9

[exotic parcel]

The TD one was an 8

the TD Evo 8 was based off their actual Evo 8 demo car

and then they made an Evo 9 demo car

[coral quest]

Yeah it's kind of scary when you have to ask if this is a computer generated car or the real thing lol

But dang... Learned something new today wow

[exotic parcel]

tbh I kinda hate the APR Evo

it looks tacky

The TD one specifically

the actual demo cars are cool

[simple spruce]

I like it

I wanna say something that may be hard to believe

[coral quest]

I suck at trying to clip YouTube streams my apologies lol

[exotic parcel]

What I did in 2015

What I'm gonna do in Unbound

[shy atlas]

You mutated the Challenger

[exotic parcel]

it's only an extra headlight

[shy atlas]

*intake

[simple spruce]

Ironic that that is a modification you can make in the game

[shy atlas]

Also the AI got the Skyline spot on

[worldly sparrow]

@exotic parcel make a TFK car

[exotic parcel]

I will when I unlock the Cayman

[simple spruce]

Cause Colin?

[exotic parcel]

Colin is a good reason

but the Cayman is literally the only exotic I plan on building anytime soon

[simple spruce]

Oh

Nothing else comes to your mind?

[exotic parcel]

not atm

I'm currently working towards the RX-7 though so I could totally make a Bushido car

[exotic parcel]

Is the Bushido logo not there anymore?

[worldly sparrow]

Not all Bushido cars in Carbon had the logo

But no

Its not in the game anymore

[simple spruce]

Is it embarrassing

That I wanna do a noise bomb or shift lock car

[shy atlas]

"noise bomb"

Ghost didn't play a second of Prostreet did they

[exotic parcel]

They had the Touge Union decal in 2015 just to rub salt in the wound

[simple spruce]

Either that or the team just didn't wanna be called Touge union

They removed alot of decals from 2015 to payback and from payback to heat and from heat to unbound

[exotic parcel]

no it was definitely a mistake

Payback is what removed most of tuem

Heat removed even more somehow

[simple spruce]

It sucks really

[exotic parcel]

and Unbound kinda kept the ones in Heat

[simple spruce]

Why can't they keep every single decal

[exotic parcel]

idk

it's their decals

[simple spruce]

From 2015 onward

[exotic parcel]

it doesn't make sense

[simple spruce]

Some of them I understand like Magnus or Ken block

But at least keep the original ones

The ones from the franchise itself

[simple spruce]

Which is why it sucks that I have to mod the game ti have the decals that I need

When in forza or gran turismo

I can just make the decal

That's something nfs needs to do too

[exotic parcel]

at the very least they'll be adding more stuff next update

[simple spruce]

Is that a fact

Or a speculation

I mean as in is it a fact that we'll be getting more decals

Or some new feature for the livery editor

Also question: Seeing as the R324 bumper was changed in Unbound, can you still do the full front conversion?

As in, can you still make the R32 front look like a R34 front

[exotic parcel]

A Japanese tuner shop tweeted about getting into NFS Unbound themselves

idk if the Japanese if anyone would lie about something like that

[simple spruce]

Hmm.. its better than nothing I suppose

I just wish they'd release an update which includes all of the legacy decals

[exotic parcel]

It could potentially mean more bodykits for the tuner cars

worst case scenario its some fixes, additions to Lakeshore Online, and new decals to use

[simple spruce]

Tuners which all already have a good amount.. and everything else will get ignored..

[exotic parcel]

this game needs more tuner decals anyways so I wouldn't really complain anyways

[simple spruce]

sigh

[exotic parcel]

I mean

[simple spruce]

Why even have muscles and exotics

When you doht do shit with them

[exotic parcel]

The Skyline doesn't have anything besides Nismo and off-brand M's Factory

The R32 doesn't have anything either

the 350Z only has 3 kits and the RX-8 only has one bodykit and a rocket bunny widebody

[simple spruce]

And neither does the Foxbody or the Buick GNX

Those cars have even lesser stuff

[exotic parcel]

The GNX has some stuff

[simple spruce]

They're all made up

[exotic parcel]

the Foxbody only has the DTM kit which sucks but y'know

[simple spruce]

Nothing real life brand

[exotic parcel]

Is made up so bad?

[simple spruce]

When they look terrible

Yeah

It is bad

[exotic parcel]

ehhh maybe the widebodies

the squared one specifically

but it's fine

[simple spruce]

It's a problem that these cars get ignored when they deserve just as much attention

[exotic parcel]

ig

[simple spruce]

I don't think you care anyway

[exotic parcel]

but then again its not like this is the only update

If they

are doing Japanese tuners this time

they might be doing focuses on certain cars for updates

next update might be muscle cars or exotics

who knows

[simple spruce]

Nfs games of since ghost era usually get one update of content and that's it

Payback, 2015, Rivals

I doubt it'll be different here

They'll do this one large update

Then do smaller ones and then move on to the next game

[exotic parcel]

2015 had a bunch of updates

Payback was hated so it died quick

Heat died quick bc EA axed Ghost

[simple spruce]

One update of content
The others were just fixes

[exotic parcel]

Unbound was successful and has had good reception since

there's no reason Unbound won't get any suppport

[simple spruce]

It'll probably just be this one update and done

Everything afterwards will probably be minor stuff like the stuff Heat added

[exotic parcel]

that's what the fandom says

but again, there's literally no reason to kill off a successful game

Heat was successful but Payback already doomed Ghost

[simple spruce]

It's EA, do you think they care?

They only care about the game projects

Not the long term updates

[exotic parcel]

NFS is one of their biggest profits ofc they'll care

[simple spruce]

Did they care when Heat raked in so much money?

Or 2015?

No

Their business plans don't change

[exotic parcel]

They did care, why do you think they kept them using the same formula 4 times over, it saved money and the latest game was always "better than the last"

and people kept buying it

[simple spruce]

And why did they kill them short every time?

[exotic parcel]

only thing is Payback flopped miserably so they killed off Ghost like they did Criterion after Most Wanted and Black Box after Undercover and The Run

[simple spruce]

Again, the profit in a new game is always much more considerable

Than the profit of updates and expansions

That's how EA has always worked

That's how it'll always be

[simple spruce]

That's pretty fitting

I like that

Though the style is slightly wrong

sigh why am I this negative..

I only upset myself..

[exotic parcel]

I can get away with Stacked Decks since they're a mixed crew

[simple spruce]

Yeah espiecally after the merge

But my question remaind unanswered

[simple spruce]

This was the question

[worldly sparrow]

Yes

[exotic parcel]

yeah

same goes with the Boss S14

if it's just the bumper it'll be on it's original front end

if it's just the fender it'll be on the original front end

if you do both it'll convert it

[simple spruce]

Alrighty then

Guess I can recreate the Shift lock Underground Soldier R32 there too

That was the only build that made the style work

At least as far as I've seen

[exotic parcel]

probably some rl drift cars too

[exotic parcel]

sweet

[simple spruce]

Most likely yeah but I've just not seen many..

[exotic parcel]

Scorpios when

[worldly sparrow]

Next time

Maybe on an EVO X

[simple spruce]

That'd be cool

[worldly sparrow]

Or maybe a Nissan GT-R

[simple spruce]

An Evo X would be cooler in my opinion

[worldly sparrow]

Fair enough

[simple spruce]

I hope I didn't disappoint you

[worldly sparrow]

My idea for these is to bring back a what if they still were around crew cars

Idk who else would drive a 23 Countach other than Darius tho considering its a million dollar very limited number car

[simple spruce]

Hehe

[worldly sparrow]

But lets just forget about that little detail and say its a random crew member

[simple spruce]

But I don't know what to say

Socripos never had a theme of cars

As far as I remember

So I don't know what car would fit for them

[worldly sparrow]

They were tuners

[simple spruce]

Oh right

Cover of nfs carbon..

I am a moron

[simple spruce]

I really like this

[worldly sparrow]

Add the Ana intercooler

[exotic parcel]

I wish

[steel wing]

Nice recreation.

[fervent quarry]

interesting that noone has made this livery for the mantis 350z

[simple spruce]

Looking like a pretty good recreation

[simple spruce]

Gotta be one of the few people who I've seen has a DB5 build

[simple spruce]

That's pretty nice

[sweet yoke]

ah yes

the car

[steel wing]

Why does that wrap look familiar?

[sweet yoke]

trailer

i kinda regret buying the z instead of the silvia

cuz now i'm broke and my s car is slow af

[simple spruce]

Gallipoli

[steel wing]

Which trailer?

[sweet yoke]

reveal

[simple spruce]

It essentially was like the Heat car

It starts out in this more basic state

And the final form becomes the car that we know

It's to emphasise the customization

though unlike the polestar we can actually customitze the S13 to the exact spec shown in the trailer

[sweet yoke]

polestar kinda cooler imo

crossy double wang was the shit

[lucid oracle]

I'm gonna make the argument the dumb weird canards that go over the front and rear lights are worse

They don't look cool

[simple spruce]

I completely agree

And it was a terrible cover car as well

Both slow as shit

And dies in the first cutscene

And had to wait until an update for it to even be available for purchase or to drive

[sweet yoke]

it was completely misused yes

but it looked amazing

is kinda iconic imo

and i enjoyed driving it

[simple spruce]

It definitely was iconic in a way

But man it was so mishandled

With all of the stuff they used for it in the promotional stuff

[sweet yoke]

Heat as a whole was mishandled

[simple spruce]

I would have expected to see it see more usage

Then again the whole Heat experience can be described best as "unrealized potential"

[sweet yoke]

Unbound while by no means perfect feels a lot more thought out and polished

[simple spruce]

It certainly already is off to a better start

[sweet yoke]

i don't think it's doing that good sales-wise tho

[simple spruce]

Hell I'd say Payback was done better than Heat in alot of ways. It's strange how I've grown actually sympathic and impressed by some of the stuff that game did

[sweet yoke]

Heat has 4700 players on Steam rn

Unbound has 3200

[simple spruce]

Wait really?

How on earth..

[sweet yoke]

yup

i'll tell you how

Heat was on a 95% discount a few weeks before Unbound came out

so all the normies are still playing it

they don't need another nfs game

[simple spruce]

Ahhhh

True

[sweet yoke]

Same on playstation, they gave it away on ps plus recently

[simple spruce]

Espiecally with all the mods

And heat being basically the same thing as unbound

[sweet yoke]

that and unbound is 70 bucks

[simple spruce]

So the people who play that ain't losing out on much

[sweet yoke]

i would say unbound is miles better

[simple spruce]

I still don't accept how expensive that game is

[sweet yoke]

well it's far from the first game to cost that much

[simple spruce]

Guess not better enough for more people to buy it

But hey it's a good start

[sweet yoke]

oh and people don't like the art style

because they go "hey look at me i'm so mature i want my game to look realisitic"

[simple spruce]

That is the main gate keeper at the moment

[sweet yoke]

bruh it's nfs not forza

[simple spruce]

But the main problem isn't the artstyle itself

[sweet yoke]

art style cool

[simple spruce]

The main problem is that the devs lied

That you can turn them off

[sweet yoke]

not really

[simple spruce]

You can turn them off partially true

[sweet yoke]

they said you can't turn the light trails and air trails off

[simple spruce]

But every other AI and player car around you still has it

[sweet yoke]

and then they said you can have grey smoke

which you do

[simple spruce]

Again, they lied

They didn't say that the effect would still be present on other cars

When you wanna turn ir off

You want it off on everything

[sweet yoke]

it's still cartoony but it's a realistic colour, and it doesn't add anything else on the screen

[simple spruce]

Oh and the whole Twitter fiasco

[sweet yoke]

that's kinda nitpicky tho

[simple spruce]

The guy in charge of their Twitter account needs to get fired

[sweet yoke]

just be in first and you won't have to see them

[simple spruce]

That didn't help the games publicity at all

[simple spruce]

That's not a very good argument lol

[sweet yoke]

meh i kinda laughed

[sweet yoke]

its not

but

characters were always gonna have it anyway

so ai cars having them doesnt change much in the end

[simple spruce]

They should have just straight up said it then

Said that the effects won't get turned off on the other cars

[sweet yoke]

i guess

[simple spruce]

Not lie about it

But eitherway

It doenst matter much now

The game is doing good

[sweet yoke]

no

[simple spruce]

And it is a good game

[sweet yoke]

but i just don't get why people care so much about it

[simple spruce]

And it will get better hopefully

[sweet yoke]

Heat felt dead

[simple spruce]

Guess they just don't like it

[sweet yoke]

this brings some life into it

[simple spruce]

Frankly neither do I
The cartoony effects and characters clash wirh the realistic environment and car models and not in a good way

It's not a deal breaker but it could have been better handled

I've seen ir be better handled in other games

[lucid oracle]

I honestly like the effects

except from the smoke*

[sweet yoke]

they're supposed to clash

to contrast

[lucid oracle]

the characters do look kinda wrong but it's fine to me overall, I think it was mainly done to help save resources when adding pedestrians to the streets

[sweet yoke]

idk about that

i think they added pedestrians later

cuz lets be real frostbite humans looks shit anyway

especially at the distance

[lucid oracle]

Look fine in BF4

[simple spruce]

Not everyone is gonna like the way they contrast

[lucid oracle]

hell in The Run too

[sweet yoke]

maybe

but not in Heat

lmao

they look flat af

not ugly maybe

[simple spruce]

Eitherway, Heat was a dead game no doubt
But Unbound perhaps could have better handled their own shit

[sweet yoke]

but meh at best

[lucid oracle]

the facial animations were definitely rushed

[simple spruce]

And ro me, Unbound fixed two important things which make it better every way

[sweet yoke]

that and the comic like art style was already present in the leaked builds from like 2020

[simple spruce]

1: Fixed and working car shadows
2: Smaller car exhaust flames

[sweet yoke]

and i don't remember seeing peds in those videos

[simple spruce]

I hated both in Heat

[sweet yoke]

YES

SAME

[lucid oracle]

That was an alpha and the cartoony effects were just light trails

[simple spruce]

I'll be back

[sweet yoke]

sure

but they commited to it

[lucid oracle]

in reality this will have all been planned out by Ghost when they started working on a sequel (AKA a short while before Heat launched)

[sweet yoke]

at least to some extent

probably

Criterion is mostly ex-ghost i think

[lucid oracle]

conflicting reports

Criterion used to assist Ghost

so yes but actually no

but also yes

[sweet yoke]

They pretty much switched roles

[lucid oracle]

p much

[sweet yoke]

Criterion is now a lead developper and Ghost an assistance studio

or what once was Ghost

[sweet yoke]

funily enough exhaust flames were normal in the trailers

they changed them shortly before release

for some dumb reason

honestly it would've fit Unbound more than Heat

though i'm glad they're gone

[lucid oracle]

One thing I want to return is realistic backfire

That's been gone since.... Actually probably Payback, I don't really remember

[sweet yoke]

i don't see that happening

for this game at least

unless they maybe allow a full disable of the art style

but that kinda defeats the whole purpose of committing to it in the first place imo

[lucid oracle]

Yeah I think at most they will enable you to mix/match tags

or just making tags car specific would be nice

[sweet yoke]

yep

i'd love that

i'm hoping they'll double down on the art style and keep on adding features to it

and people will just get over it

[lucid oracle]

ehhhhh

NFS should be about individual personality

If you don't want the wing effects, you should be able to turn that individual piece off

[simple spruce]

It's likely another rivals situation

Eitherway ir is apparent that Criterjon does a good job

[lucid oracle]

We've not seen much of anything yet imo

[sweet yoke]

true

[simple spruce]

Is the entirety of Unbound being better than heat already no evidence enough?

[lucid oracle]

This game is incredibly divisive and has a markedly slower pace which I know has disappointed people

I mean it's not

[sweet yoke]

idk i enjoy the game being longer, even if its kinda artificial

[lucid oracle]

Each game has major faults and major legs up on each other

[sweet yoke]

then again you don't have to do every single event of every single session

[lucid oracle]

no but you can screw yourself if you don't so

[simple spruce]

Well

Eitherway

At least its off to a better start

I think

Relatively

[simple spruce]

I am glad you agree

[sweet yoke]

i generally do all events i can before the police just makes it not worth it

[simple spruce]

And yeah I hated that the flames became bigger in the game itself

[sweet yoke]

finished second qualifier with 230k in the bank

splashed it all on a Z that barely makes it in to S class and gets clapped

life is good

[simple spruce]

Hehe..

[jaunty cove]

Meanwhile with me

[simple spruce]

That's pretty nice

[dreamy yoke]

Really simple, but I like it 🙂

[simple spruce]

It looks nice yeah

[dreamy yoke]

Thank you!

Most if not all my builds are of a similar fashion. Guess I just like clean looking cars

[shy atlas]

Looks a bit more like a 718 GT4 than a 981 GT4

At least at the front

[dreamy yoke]

Oooohhh yeah I see what you mean!

I think that is the actual front bumper they used in the customisation for this car actually

[shy atlas]

A 718 is just a facelifted 981 anyway

[dreamy yoke]

Also my A class car. If you can call this a build, it literally has different wheels, exhaust, wings and bonnet, thats it. 😂

[exotic parcel]

PC?

[steel wing]

Xbox.

[exotic parcel]

aww fuck

[fringe gulch]

only good old PS1 gamer knows these liveries from

[sweet yoke]

i'm gonna guess ridge racer

[viscid fjord]

I guessed because pacman

Saw pacman and instantly knew it was ridge Racer

[sweet yoke]

idk i never really played RR

just briefly on the PSP

not my style

[simple spruce]

I SM gonna guess Ridge racer too

I know it'll make Mammalizer happy

Cause Ridge racer is very important to him

[fringe gulch]

You guys are correct both are from Ridge Racer to be precise Ridge Racer Type 4

[simple spruce]

Excellent stuff. Well done to you

[worldly sparrow]

Fridge racer

[simple spruce]

Lol

That'd be funny

[coral quest]

Oooo finally seeing someone with some Liveries. Very very noice. (RR... Dude u just made me feel old with this one) 🔥

[fringe gulch]

Just re-imagine old memories, since i like to make and customize something in games i often make itasha liveries too

[coral quest]

Yeah I started scrolling up and seeing some more of your other ones, very impressive.

I'm cool with people downloading liveries but I like seeing people create their own and seein what their imagination can come up with. You pulling out the classics was quite noice, I wouldn't have thought to take inspiration from old racer games... That's too good of an idea. 🍻

[fringe gulch]

Thanks buddy👍👍

[karmic wolf]

New wrap I made

[simple spruce]

That's rather nice

I do like the attack day vibe of it

Good job

[fringe gulch]

yo let's pump up the bassline

[simple spruce]

Yo!

Okay this is too perfect of a timing

I actually recently made one of these myself

[fringe gulch]

really?

[simple spruce]

Excuse the quality I cannot screenshot so I had to take a picture directly from the screen

[simple spruce]

Yeah I am suprised about that too

This truly is one lucky coincidence

[fringe gulch]

daym nice one

[simple spruce]

Thanks alot

I tried to be as close as possible

Parts, colors, details

[fringe gulch]

and yet both of our built got almost the same parts, colors and details😅

[simple spruce]

Hehe

Indeed

Bassline is awesome

[fringe gulch]

agreed

[coral quest]

I would seriously love to see what I could do in the new unbound game and their decals.

[fringe gulch]

so do i, but unfortunately NFS Unbound is still too expensive for me to buy so i think i'm gonna wait a long time to get one

[coral quest]

Got me going back through all my old pics over here and everything. The nostalgia. Felt bad for them kids lol 1/4th mile under 6 seconds.

(never did finish that car even after $9 billion was dropped into the cards looking for the last NOS,Acceleration, Speed card.) Was a decent game if it wasn't for that upgrade system. (So cringe)

Was missing 1 Outlaw to have a full set of NOS Acceleration Speed cards. Chidori cards I was missing 2, all were N,A,S cards and 2 were N,A,Jump. N,A,Break

The difference in Reaction time.

[karmic wolf]

Thank you

[coral quest]

Now that's what I'm talkin about.

[simple spruce]

That's a cool looking drift build

Very prostreet style

[boreal zephyr]

I've always loved the prostreet style of liveries so that's what I tried to make 😇 shared too

[simple spruce]

Exellent job

glad I could reaognize what you were tryiung to do

[sweet yoke]

wait you can't do that

[simple spruce]

That's pretty nice looking

I really like the look of that

[burnt palm]

💪

[boreal zephyr]

Rear rims kinda bugged out but you get the gist of it

[simple spruce]

Wow

That's actually quite cool

I really like that

The lemon racing

[sweet yoke]

i like it too, but i think it needs a splitter if possible

and i think the wing doesn't fit

[worldly sparrow]

I love putting inspirational quotes on my car just like A$AP Rocky

[simple spruce]

Hehe

Mayhe I should try doing it too

[vocal kiln]

Send Nudes would be awesome lmao

Or take the crown vic and write "Not the po-po"

[sweet yoke]

plays online
gets passed by a Chiron
"You are poor", "Your woman disagrees with you" written on the side
Chiron crashes into wall
that's what i thought

[simple spruce]

Pfftt

[sweet yoke]

[boreal zephyr]

Driver spent all his money on an eBay wing, he ain't about to not use it

[simple spruce]

Haha

Yeah he's barely got a car that is put together

[boreal zephyr]

I just love that look 😅

[worldly sparrow]

@lucid oracle I wonder if you can recognize it

[lucid oracle]

I cannot

[terse geyser]

i did not see that coming from connor

[jaunty cove]

Wait a minute.... isn't that...

From carbon??

[terse geyser]

yes

from the custom cars

[lucid oracle]

I only ever used my own cars unless it was in the challenge series, and even then the only challenge series car I really remember is the MR2 and that red muscle car for the pursuits

I think there was an alt version of the murcialago too

[terse geyser]

lp640

you had to sell cars in career mode to obtain that

[karmic wolf]

another day, another wrap

[fringe gulch]

another re-imagine, can you guess where this livery come from? the game is still running until now as an exclusive Playstation game

[simple spruce]

It's pretty cool looking but I have no idea where it is from

I'd say either Driveclub or Gran Turismo since you said PlayStation exclusive but it doesn't seem fitting to be any of those

[fringe gulch]

Too bad you guess it wrong, try again

But .. i'll give you a hint: anti-gravity

[simple spruce]

Anti gravity?

Hmm..

This must be a rather obsecure game

Antigraviator?

[fringe gulch]

that's not playstation exclusive

[charred wasp]

wipeout

dunno which one

[fringe gulch]

that's the one

[simple spruce]

Really?

Damn

Now I feel like a fool

[simple spruce]

I don't know these games man..

I didn't even know wipeout was a PlayStation exclusive

[fringe gulch]

you just didn't know it yet, but it's true this wipeout game is playstation exclusive, it's been running since PS1, PS2 PSVita and the latest PS4 with special omega collection, why didn't you check it out, i believe you will like that game

oh yeah can i share that game's trailer link here? so at least some of you might want to check the game out

[simple spruce]

Never played any anti gravity racing games to be honest

[fringe gulch]

why not check it out for this once, but i suggest you check the trailer first, then you decide want to play it or not, and..... one info the game is quite hard when you played in the highest rank (phantom)

[simple spruce]

Well, I do lack the facilties and proper systems to run these modern day games

I've played what I've played through hoops and loops of problems

[harsh laurel]

Ok....

[mighty sorrel]

anyone here good at making wraps?

[mighty sorrel]

how just how do you make that kind of art

[simple spruce]

Thats a pretty lovely build

If a bit simple

[simple spruce]

Nice

[surreal osprey]

Gtrf1

(i still dont know why i called it that)

[simple spruce]

Holy jesus

When everyone thought the GTR couldn't possibly get any thicker

Criterion went and made it even thicker

[exotic parcel]

Give it a Marlboro livery

[simple spruce]

I am not sure a marlboro livery would fit

[exotic parcel]

The original livery was already silver and red anyways

[simple spruce]

Oh really?

[exotic parcel]

yeah

[fervent quarry]

evo airlines

[exotic parcel]

nismo airlines

[simple spruce]

Okay what..

[exotic parcel]

Palace Tag

the wings are literal airplane wings lol

[viscid fjord]

Yh

[shy atlas]

leaked nissan vision gran turismo (real)

[simple spruce]

What on earth..

Why does a car have wings..

[shy atlas]

cars 2 type shit

[simple spruce]

Cars 2's way of doing things was a little less jarring

[exotic parcel]

Driving effects will manifest wings when you take a big jump

[simple spruce]

These are literal wings though

Not just artistic effects

[exotic parcel]

Palace is just weird

[simple spruce]

Wow..

Even your character reacted to the win..

[shy atlas]

big wangs

[simple spruce]

Hey that's the FC RX7 racing livery

That looks even more fitting on this car

[fringe gulch]

Wait.... How come there's a plane wings and jet?

[exotic parcel]

again

Palace

[fringe gulch]

I see.... Eventhough i didn't understand 😅😅😅

[fringe gulch]

Oh ... I get it now, how come i forgot that NFS Unbound have driving effects

[exotic parcel]

cloaked is for cucks bro

[exotic parcel]

sick

[worldly sparrow]

Why can everyone make cooler cars than me bruh§

[exotic parcel]

ikr

[simple spruce]

Bruh

Everyone including you makes cooler cars than me

I am inferior

Even when I feel like I did well

[exotic parcel]

Nah I've seen your shit

your builds are alot cooler than mine

I'm okay with recreations but when it comes to original shit I'm absolute dogshit

[simple spruce]

You sure?

I am the one who is shit sh*t with originals

Yesterday I made an original speedcross 350Z livery

It's so cool but now I feel I did bad again

If only I had someway to show my liveries without decreasing the quality of my images so much

[worldly sparrow]

That's just your depression

[simple spruce]

I really hope so..

[jaunty cove]

I present to you Another driver parallel lines nod with the Crown Victoria

[surreal osprey]

It's not about being better, it's about the creativity and idea

[jaunty cove]

^

[exotic parcel]

It's just they're they looks far more impressive

Alot more well done, more polished and whatnot

Ditto is good and I'm solid though my stuff looks really amateur

[exotic parcel]

nice Infiniti, mr. "Corvettes4Lfe"

[karmic wolf]

Thank you

I know it's not a Corvette, no need to point it out

[exotic parcel]

yes

[viscid fjord]

Don't pussy out and run off this time when the police stop you 😈

NFS Heat reference

Can't remember the guy's name tho

[burnt palm]

shaw?

[viscid fjord]

No

The guy who drove the Polestar at the beginning

The one who ran away to the NFS 2015 city

[crimson garden]

It's joe as i remember

[viscid fjord]

Ah yh Joe

Almost got murdered by police

[crimson garden]

Yeah, and lost his car just like that

Well at least he doesn't go diving with his car

[exotic parcel]

Joe Polestar

[simple spruce]

Hey so you can replicate the Joe Polestar

[exotic parcel]

that bodykit is hidden nima

[simple spruce]

It is?

Well shit

[burnt palm]

yep

More accurately, it was deleted, but the 3d model file was still there

[simple spruce]

Really?

That sucks

It's good that Unbound got cracked and modded from the get go

But man it sucks that we still can't legitimately have this kit and customize it

[lucid oracle]

so it's not likely to return to the game then?

[burnt palm]

may or may not come back

[simple spruce]

I hope ir does

But then again

The Ana kit, the camaro blower

They're nowhere to be found either in the base game

So likely they'll just remain that

[lucid oracle]

and I can't mod the game to have them or I'll lose my online progress

and online progression is snails pace so

[burnt palm]

emmm about that

online progress and story progress in one save file

and game doesn't have anti-cheating

so if you back up your save game file you will be fine

[lucid oracle]

I'd have thought it would have thrown a giant tantrum if I kept changing the save file

wonder if this means I could get around it...

[shy atlas]

joe mama

[shy atlas]

Yeah that's it

[simple spruce]

Probably does to be honest until they put out an update regarding it but I doubt they care since you can't mod your online anyway

[tropic basalt]

Not much of a build more just paint and performance
