Back then most liveries were taken off other cars

[exotic parcel]

no shit lmao

[simple spruce]

It's still workrd

[exotic parcel]

it did work

[simple spruce]

And hey, more kits better than fewer kits

[exotic parcel]

and then they overhauled it with an ugly ass racing stripe

[simple spruce]

It's a shame to not have the Sunline kit

Cant even recreate the Payback cover car now

[exotic parcel]

imagine wanting that lmao

you never could because it has decals that were never in any of the games lmao

[simple spruce]

Fair point

Though I never really spotted any decals on it to begin with

And ir was a neat Easteregg in Heat how you could get the Payback plate by deleting your visual modifications

Same

It feels like these devs, regardless of Criterion or Ghost

[exotic parcel]

that was an oversight lmao

[simple spruce]

Just don't get we want real life street racer kits

[exotic parcel]

Unbound actually has the plate properly

[simple spruce]

Ghost was on the right track with 2015

And then it got shitcanned

[exotic parcel]

and as I say

[simple spruce]

It was an Easteregg In heat

Clearly was intended

[exotic parcel]

instead of Payback, Heat, or even Unbound, 2015 should've been long term

[simple spruce]

And I agree

Hell, that's what we should do

[exotic parcel]

no it wasn't, it was a leftover texture while they forgot to make the plate selectable

[simple spruce]

But the plate appears when you delete the bodymods

[exotic parcel]

again, because it was an oversight

[simple spruce]

How do you accidently code that to happen?

It couldn't have been an oversight

[lofty mason]

lazy triple a devs

[exotic parcel]

Payback and 2015 did that too, but they didn't forget to replace the default plate texture

If you remove all customization, your plate isn't set to the California/Fortune Valley plate by default, it's technically removed but you have the default plate anyways

In Heat, the default plate texture wasn't replaced to Palm City

It was an oversight

If Payback did it too, you'd get California in Heat

[simple spruce]

Hmm..

[exotic parcel]

If 2015 forgot as well, you'd probably get Redview

[simple spruce]

So what I thought was an easteregg

Was just a mistake

[exotic parcel]

Yes

[simple spruce]

Now I'm sad

😔

Guess I see what I must do

[exotic parcel]

also why would they lay an easter egg to a clear disaster of a game?

They have references to other NFS games like Underground with the Olympic City sign or to NL with the vinyls they snatched from there

but that wasn't an easter egg.

[simple spruce]

Guess heat really is a disaster

[surreal osprey]

Updated my evo 9 :)

[simple spruce]

Pretty nice

[vernal topaz]

NFS The Run
Porsche 911 Carrera (GT)S - NFS Edition

[simple spruce]

Hey that's pretty good

[exotic parcel]

0/10

it's slightly lower than the original smh smh

good job

[steel wing]

Simple, but effective.

[twilit hound]

Guys I did my first (real) build in Unbound what do you think about it?

ive only add black parts lol

[surreal osprey]

A

[twilit hound]

@fossil dune i saw that

[fossil dune]

Kicks Forzas ass for sure

[twilit hound]

yes

[exotic parcel]

idk why I never thought to use the AWGE decal

[twilit hound]

i think we got all the angles to make it in 3D

fr

[twilit hound]

take pics in night it will look better

[exotic parcel]

people really complain about Unbound's photo mode not having all the bells and whistles the old photo mode had but make snapshots like this 😐

[karmic wolf]

What are you on about

[exotic parcel]

Unbounds photo mode doesn't have roll, filters, or any of the other advanced stuff 2015, Payback and Heat have

yet they make their snapshots without using any of it anyways

[simple spruce]

It's better to have more features than not

But to be honest those features of the camera mode of Heat and etc were very unused as they were anyway

[shy atlas]

It's miles ahead of GTA's photo mode

I had to gtfo the car to enter it in the Christmas Showcase Competition

[exotic parcel]

The only things Unbound is missing that really even matters are rain effects, wheel turning, driver toggle, and camera tilt

besides those few things everything left behind is pretty much worthless

[twilit hound]

rain effects?

they are realistic tho

[exotic parcel]

bro what???????????

I mean in 2015 you can turn off raindrop effects for clearer photos

[simple spruce]

You cannot tilt the camera?!

Okay thats just ridiculous

That wasn't even a feature

It was just a simple button command

[exotic parcel]

a feature it was

just one of the simple ones lmao

[simple spruce]

Yeah but like

It's so basic it's a necessity

Why would they even need to take it out of Unbound

Unbound already besides the map and some new body mods relies on the older games for its content

Why take out things such as being able to tilt your camera in photo mode lol

[exotic parcel]

is it really a necessity?

when most people don't even do it?

[twilit hound]

and you cant in unbound?

[exotic parcel]

Yeah it sucks it's not there

but like

nobody fucking uses it besides people that'd may as well use camera toolkits anyways

[twilit hound]

i still never opened the photo mode on unbound so i know nothing about

[simple spruce]

But it's a useful feature when it does get used by alot of people

It's such a harmless feature

It should be in any video game

Racing game or otherwise

[shy atlas]

Holy shit

[twilit hound]

but i think you can just change the color thats it

[exotic parcel]

I dunno, it's not like it's the end of the world anyways

[karmic saddle]

I mean if you are going to give me a camera mode I would prefer it if I can do things like tilt the camera and stuff

[exotic parcel]

I still can make some good ass pics anyways

[simple spruce]

No but it makes no sense to take it out either

[shy atlas]

When it says several people are typing you know it's about to get exciting

[exotic parcel]

yeah

[simple spruce]

And it doesn't matter whether if you can and cannot take good pictures still

That's irrelevant

[exotic parcel]

i mean

it could be a new system somehow for all you know

somehow

i doubt it but y'know

[simple spruce]

It's just Unbound
A game which was already mostly done by Ghost before they got shitcanned
And doesn't have that much new content as it is
Takes out a feature as simple as a camera tilt?

It's such a simple feature a modder could add it

[simple spruce]

Absolutely impossible

Since the game is running on the same engine

And works the same as the previous games

[exotic parcel]

so here's the thing

Unbound does use the same models and engine

but they essentially reworked alot of shit, likely forgetting to put shit back in as it wasn't as important

like a camera tilt

because it's not important when hardly anyone uses it

shit, I'm surprised you can still zoom as it's also something nobody uses

same with the contrast and depth of field

[karmic saddle]

basic camera functions then

[exotic parcel]

most people just move the camera and screenshot

[simple spruce]

You act like you would excuse them if they didn't even include a zoom feature

[exotic parcel]

so even zoom and tilt aren't all that important anyway

I wouldn't like it but I wouldn't blame them

[simple spruce]

Hell, why even complain then? Take out the camera feature entirely

Just take pictures by rotating the camera in drive mode

[exotic parcel]

Shit I dunno if I ever mentioned it but I wouldn't have been surprised if they took that shit out in Heat since nobody bothers to use it anyways

[simple spruce]

Hell why even have a rotating camera then? Get rid of it to make it more like old racing games

[exotic parcel]

almost to the point I would've wanted them to just remove it altogether

[simple spruce]

Hell why even have a 3rd person view to see the car?

Just put the camera on the car's hood to make it even more clsssic

[exotic parcel]

and again, most people who are more serious about photos would just use mods anyways, whether the vanilla camera was full of special things or bare bones

[simple spruce]

See here's why your argument fails Ku1k
Lack of basic functions, regardless of relevance and usage count, is inexcusable

[karmic saddle]

have the camera be in the car like a first person game, it'd be like Hard Drivin except its a NFS game

[simple spruce]

Espiecally when you're being outdone by a game back in 2015

Which had all these same basic features and more

[exotic parcel]

yes, 2015 is better in something minor like a photo mode, while everything else is objectively worse

absolutely disgraceful

[simple spruce]

Because it is disgraceful

[karmic saddle]

need a new NFS like this now

[simple spruce]

A feature this basic needs to get sorted first

So it doesn't become an issue later

Or hell, fix it whenever

[exotic parcel]

or maybe they didn't care because it's such a small stupid feature that hardly gets used anyways

[simple spruce]

But if the devs forget to include a camera tilt

A feature even none racing games have

[exotic parcel]

so why waste time on putting the whole thing in it

[simple spruce]

It means they'll likely never add it back

The fact that it doenst personally bother you is irrelevant

[simple spruce]

That's like saying why waste time making a car when a horse and a carriage works fine
It's called innovation

[exotic parcel]

this isn't about whether or not it bothers me, if anything you're going off it bothering you. I'm saying it's minor and unimportant compared to the rest of the game.

So it's not worth so much attention

[simple spruce]

But here's the thing, if a feature this simple and easy gets ignored

Lord knows what else they're willing to ignore

It starts with a simple feature in this game

[exotic parcel]

It's not that it's "sImPlE fEaTuRe" it's the simple fact that it's not important.

[simple spruce]

And next game they'll outright remove an important feature

Because nobody seems to mind

[exotic parcel]

Something else simple like car tuning could've been forgotten as well but they didn't do that

[karmic saddle]

sits here remembering that nobody says anything about this with Gran Turismo's camera

[shy atlas]

Let them have an inch, they'll take a mile

[simple spruce]

That's much more intricate and relevant into the game

[exotic parcel]

exactly

[simple spruce]

It's certainly not comparable to a camera movement frature

[shy atlas]

Well I only just started taking pictures in GT7

[exotic parcel]

if it's not important to Need for Speed, it's not worth the attention

[shy atlas]

I joined during GT Sport

[exotic parcel]

So customization got worked on, menus got worked on, physics and upgrading got worked on, the map, story, characters, and everything in between got worked on

[karmic saddle]

its been a thing since GT4, and in 5 and onwards it had things like DOF, shutter speed, brightness and all that other stuff

[simple spruce]

It's not a good argument as to what is and isn't important to need for speed
Like are pedestrians important to need for speed? They must not be because we've been fine without them in our games
Meaning they don't need to be included

[simple spruce]

And here is the Forza camera outdoing NFS too

[shy atlas]

Interesting

[exotic parcel]

Not focusing on the photo mode is like making a 3 meat pizza and forgetting to put bacon bits on it, I already have pepperoni, beef, and sausage, the bacon bits would've just been a bonus

So oh well

I coulda put bacon on it as an extra but it wasn't important so whoops oh well

i meant meat lovers but you know what I mean

[simple spruce]

Here's the thing, I don't think it's really morally right to pay the same amount of money for a game with less features than its predecessors, even if it's something this simple

Hell it's not even the same amount it's more

[exotic parcel]

"less features"

in a photo mode most won't even use

[simple spruce]

How though? Most of nfs publicity as of late comes from photos alone

[exotic parcel]

nima the pros outweigh the cons when it comes to "features" in the game, photo mode, again, is unimportant

[simple spruce]

I mean you're using the photo mode very often aren't you?

[exotic parcel]

no lmao

I take garage pics

and the rest of my time is actually playing the game

and again, most people who do use photo mode don't use tilt or even zoom anyways

they just move around their cars and snap the pic

[simple spruce]

sigh

Why do I feel like I am in the wrong again about something like this?

Hell, why do I seem to be in the wrong whenever it comes to anything in this game?

Feels like a mockery

[exotic parcel]

im bummed out about the photo mode not being there as well nima

but i dont care either

because if I were to take pictures, I just use camera toolkit anyways

with 2015, Heat, and even Unbound

photo mode fucks with the graphics first of all

[simple spruce]

It does?

[exotic parcel]

each of these 4 games photo mode fucks with graphics, makes shit either brighter or throws some kinda of subtle unwanted filter over it

[simple spruce]

It's not like everyone is on PC..

[exotic parcel]

meanwhile I can just freeze the game, force max LOD, and up the resolution with toolkit

if I want advanced features, fuck NFS photomode

I'll use mods

[simple spruce]

Guess that's just the Nico way

[exotic parcel]

Hell, have you seen my 2015 pics? they fucking suck

[simple spruce]

Can't ever fault Unbound nor its devs

Just gotta not be a bitch and fix it yourself

[exotic parcel]

that's for any game nima

[simple spruce]

They look fine to me

[exotic parcel]

you spent the money on it

don't bitch and figure it out

not even just games as a matter of fact

[simple spruce]

Then shouldn't I expect it to function properly?

[exotic parcel]

it functions fine

[simple spruce]

If I am spending my earned money on it

[exotic parcel]

just because they took out some features doesn't mean I should sit there and complain in defeat

I can still fucking manage, even without mods

[simple spruce]

Guess that's how one must live..

[exotic parcel]

I look for positives, hell I enjoyed FH4 a little bit because of that

But it feels too aimless, and TC2 is just boring

With NFS I can look past the many many issues because it's the one game that I genuinely find fun in the genre

[simple spruce]

I still enjoy FH4

Though I know I am wrong for it

[exotic parcel]

TXR and Ridge Racer are dead so NFS is the only one I give a shit about, I really do defend these games alot but like

That's because everything else is just worse

[simple spruce]

I can understand. These games make you feel something

They don't feel soulless

[exotic parcel]

So instead of complaining I just look past it instead of whining like a little shit

[simple spruce]

They feel like they're the work of passion

Hence why you are able to overlook faults

Like how I was able to overlook faults in AC7 and Darksiders 3

[simple spruce]

I really am a little stain of shit

Sorry for being a disappointment

I'll need to crawl back to my hole and learn to be useful sometimes..

[exotic parcel]

You're not

I'm just incredibly stubborn about my views on this series

Payback is the only NFS I'll admit is bad

2015 was okay, Heat is mediocre, Unbound is the best in the entire franchise

Most of Black Boxes games are mid and the clusterfuck era was the best in terms of variety in the games that came out since people give so much of a fuck about "grr same game this grr same game that"

[simple spruce]

Entire franchise? Damn

I understand

[exotic parcel]

I grew out of my BB nostalgia, Underground 2 and MW05 are boring as fuck and Carbon is barely better than MW

Underground, ProStreet and Undercover are the only genuinely fun ones

World is aimless as shit and The Run is decent at best

[simple spruce]

Thank you

More thank you for thinking similarly

[exotic parcel]

But then again fuck anyone who says NFS has an identity crisis because the only time it strayed from what made NFS NFS was Shift

even then Shift was moreso inspired by ProStreet so whoops

NFS has always followed it's formula since R&T, but always twists and bends to keep it fresh, even if it uses the same models and engine

unlike Forza

Which has made the exact same carbon copy of itself for decades

[simple spruce]

I can agree..

[simple spruce]

That I believe in as well

But now I have a life lesson too..

Man I am so far from being a decent human being

[exotic parcel]

You're fine

[karmic wolf]

I use those features from time to time but I don't post it because I just wanna show how a wrap came out instead of making some aesthetic photos

[twilit hound]

what the fuck

the photo mode isnt a photo mode

its a drone mode 💀

man you cant do anything in this shit

[shadow karma]

Tried to make it look like a GT500 Shelby lol

[simple spruce]

That's pretty nice

I like it

[sweet yoke]

damn that background doesn't look lke nfs

nice build too

[twilit hound]

it looks like the crew 2

[sweet yoke]

don't insult NFS like that

first 2 pics look like Heat

last looks like Unbound

honestly i got no idea which one it is

[shadow karma]

Its NFS Heat, i use this spot for pics alot since its got nice lighting

[shadow karma]

it really does, i like that one the most lol

for the exact location, its where my marker is. (right next to the Event called SPIKE)

[sweet yoke]

nice

so it was Heat

i knew it

[glad urchin]

Heat looks like TC2 but worse

[sweet yoke]

they both look like shit

especially on console

[glad urchin]

Ghost era NFS looks shit overrall

¯_(ツ)_/¯

2015 aged well and poorly at the same time

[karmic saddle]

I thought that with a lot of Frostbite games

[twilit hound]

now i get it

[exotic void]

does anybody know how to fix the semi transparent decals in unbound?

[exotic parcel]

go into the paint menu and bring the transparency back up

sometimes when you duplicate decals it sets them to 50%

[exotic void]

oh shiii

thx man

didnt work

😭

[shadow karma]

since ppl were calling my P1 hot, here u go

[exotic parcel]

can I see?

[vernal topaz]

bought a C63
went "Diamond Block"

[exotic parcel]

wack

[twilit hound]

nfs rivals plat?

[shadow karma]

yh i play Rivals still to this day, thought it would fit the P1 well bc it also is in Rivals

[twilit hound]

same

[vernal topaz]

update

[twilit hound]

what are the new changes?

i just see the two lines

[vernal topaz]

and the trunk

https://tenor.com/view/honest-word-its-honest-work-it-aint-much-it-aint-much-but-its-honest-work-gif-13763573

[exotic parcel]

low effort, like the real deal

and people said Undercover's liveries sucked

[wanton pagoda]

Wish the other C63 was in need for speed tbh, what was it, 3rd Gen or smth?

[spring terrace]

thanks mate

i’ll do it rn

like that

[exotic parcel]

that's better

[spring terrace]

thanks for the help

[exotic parcel]

ofc

[simple spruce]

Much better

[lone ledge]

NISMO rims on a 488 GTB.

[simple spruce]

Now that's something

I mean 5 spokes aren't a bad choice as a whole

but NISMO 5 spokes? that's something else

[shy atlas]

ferrari 488 gts nismo

[twilit hound]

thats clean i love it

[surreal osprey]

That is a nice one

[exotic parcel]

fucks sake guy

Just another reason to desire 5Zigen again

bc 5ZRs would look so fucking good on it

[surreal osprey]

That looks decent

This damn mf reminds me too much of the Bmw Alpine B7 2021

[exotic parcel]

It's the Transporter S5 from Undercover

but Maybach instead

[vernal topaz]

Thanks ^^
I tried to make it look like all the other crew cars, but actually decent xD

[lone ledge]

Asymmetrical livery Ferrari 488 GTB.

[exotic parcel]

THE ONE TIME

THE ONE TIME

someone made the half and half style work

[simple spruce]

Good work

[fossil dune]

Simply cool

[harsh laurel]

Yess!!

[harsh laurel]

He quick too though...

[surreal osprey]

Nice job

[steel wing]

I've done it again.

Also holy fuck this body kit is wide.

[simple spruce]

Not bad

[simple spruce]

Wide indeed

[harsh laurel]

I build an McLaren F1, trying to recreate to MC3 (2005) one

||P.S: Plate text says: MC3DER||

Well, I haven't taken a pic of that yet..

So i can't show it to y'all

[fervent quarry]

interesting

[surreal osprey]

F a n c y

[simple spruce]

Man that's a beautiful image

That must be the best M3 E92 build and picture I've seen on any of the latest NFS games

[exotic parcel]

Ohhh

I forgot the 92 had the Vorsteiner widebody

[simple spruce]

it really make sthe car aggressive

More than it already is

[vernal topaz]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/992760209216905267/1074068192080711710/image.png

[twilit hound]

Proves that Mr Beast is cultured

[simple spruce]

No doubt

[jaunty cove]

Jack's bmw

[vernal topaz]

XD

Nah friend made a Blink Miata in Gran Turismo and I remade it

[surreal osprey]

New build

[simple spruce]

That's rather nice

[surreal osprey]

Yep its gonna be my 1st official rally car

[simple spruce]

Also I didn't know you could finally paint the wings in this game

This was an issue back in Heat

At least you can affect the color somehow

[vernal topaz]

Speaking of Rally(X) builds...

[simple spruce]

Rather nice job man

I like seeing more done to these cars

[vernal topaz]

I should find the 918 wrap I have

[simple spruce]

I should do more liveries..

I feel inadequate at making them

[steel wing]

I may attempt something

[karmic saddle]

noticed that the purple was a bit too bright so I made it darker, looks a lot better

[surreal osprey]

Ikr its pretty nice tho

[surreal osprey]

Hmm didnt thought of a focus to be rally focused mine is a god A class car lol

[vernal topaz]

Well I got it in A class too xD

Low-end rally car x3

[vernal topaz]

I need something for A+ and S

[simple spruce]

Not a bad look

[simple spruce]

Very nice then

[surreal osprey]

Hmmm what should i buy next?

Regera

[steel wing]

I'm considering doing a pallette swap of one of the liveries I have.

[simple spruce]

pfft

[karmic saddle]

Don’t like the look of that

[exotic parcel]

other side

[karmic saddle]

Yeah I was never a fan of that livery

[exotic parcel]

rip

[karmic saddle]

Don’t remember what the others looked like as I hardly used the car

Other than the purple and white the rest of the skyline is black

[simple spruce]

Hey they brought the skins from MW12 to GTA mod?

[exotic parcel]

yeah

[simple spruce]

Strange sicne it has the colors you love

[fossil dune]

Theo's old color as well hehe

[simple spruce]

I love GTA 5 modding, so compatible

[fossil dune]

When he used "After Party" as his intro

with the full on psn mascot

[karmic saddle]

Back then the only car I liked in purple was the Dodge Challenger

[exotic parcel]

I can imagine Theo's end card followed with "okay I pull up" now

thank you

[fossil dune]

Definitely a mouth

[exotic parcel]

:D

[simple spruce]

I forgot back then

[simple spruce]

hehe, yeah times sure changed

[simple spruce]

Ahhh, that's cool too

Challenger looks awesome in purple

[twilit hound]

i will always see it like a nose

[steel wing]

I decided to take the f2f2 Skyline livery and do a pallette swap.

I think it turned out alright?

I also did a red one, but I think the blue one is better.

[exotic parcel]

overdone

ugly

even worse with the palette swap

also decals

[steel wing]

I should also mention this livery isn't mine. It belongs to someone else and I, like I said, pallette swapped it. But your point still stands.

[simple spruce]

Suprisngly better looking than one expects

[simple spruce]

It's a wing on a wing

[twilit hound]

thats sike

[tropic basalt]

why give the car mods when it already looks riced as fuck
(I dont care if its functional its ugly as sin)

[sweet yoke]

you mean it looks absolutely amazing

[steel wing]

Here's the red version I mentioned earlier. Again, someone else's livery, not my own.

I also made the white decals shinier to see how it would turn out.

[surreal osprey]

cutey hunter im stilled cringed at my own creation..

[surreal osprey]

New build:)

[simple spruce]

Rather nice to be honest

[surreal osprey]

Tried my best im pretty bad at doing these things lol

[simple spruce]

Nicer than anything I'll end up making probably..

[surreal osprey]

And here... My epicly civic!!! B class monster

[surreal osprey]

Lol deathshot ur the trash one since all you know is the r34 and supra and thinking they come stock 1000hp and are better than hypercars😭😂😂

[simple spruce]

Weirdly hadn't seen a civic in blue

Nice build though

[pine jacinth]

Lol you don’t even know what cars I use 🤣 I just hate the civic that’s all

@surreal osprey let do some b class races see who wins 😉

"I just hate the civic that's all"

[terse geyser]

Lol

[exotic parcel]

probably watched gaskings

boldly assuming he was alive at the time

[terse geyser]

Bro gaskings...

That mf

[shy atlas]

worst ricer modifications

number one: deez

[charred wasp]

GasKings. That's a throwback name if I ever heard one

[exotic parcel]

Another one would be the one and only TK :D

[charred wasp]

burn that name from history

doesn't exist

never did

[exotic parcel]

:D

[surreal osprey]

Yes yes very thank u

[surreal osprey]

Why hating the civic? They are underpowered amazing shitboxes they are small and very neat to have and less expensive ofc xD

[surreal osprey]

Whats wrong with the civic

[surreal osprey]

Nobody will ever know😔

Bet hes addicted to the RSR

[twilit hound]

damn

could you just keep your opinion about civics to yourself?

[surreal osprey]

But @pine jacinth come on tell us why you hate the civic

What about it you hate it for

Because so far, we got no answer.

Just this “i just hate the civic, thats all”

[pine jacinth]

Lol sorry everyone had a busy day. I just don’t like them in general I hate the sound they make don’t like the look of them at all. Fast yes, highly customisable yes but much better small cars just like it are out there. Only a personal opinion

[exotic parcel]

Tbf it’s one of Americas best sellers

For a reason

[karmic saddle]

shame there weren't any better parts

[simple spruce]

Hey that's pretty good

I hadn't seen a Vulcan build in ages

[surreal osprey]

Looks nice

[karmic saddle]

it's based on my Grid Legends livery

[surreal osprey]

Oh wow

Damn you almost went bankrupt

[simple spruce]

Even better then, actually based on a livery you made in another game

Makes it even better

[surreal osprey]

Yeah

[karmic saddle]

I did try to modify the car bodywise but there isn't much that screams improvement

[surreal osprey]

Also weird question

Why is there always that w33d wrap

Like why

[karmic saddle]

w33d?

[surreal osprey]

The one with the leaf

The green

[karmic saddle]

I don't see it

[surreal osprey]

Nvm

[exotic parcel]

my banner until like February though 😭

[simple spruce]

Yeah the body mods for the Vulcan are weak

[simple spruce]

Sorry..

I always noticed it

I just failed to mention it to you

I apologise nico..

It was a cool Vulcan build you had done

And I was suprised you put up a Vulcan as your banner when you much prefer tuner cars and such

I am very sorry Nico

[exotic parcel]

dont worry i was joking lmao

but thank you

[surreal osprey]

Damn

[pine jacinth]

Have you seen the one for the r35 ? 🤣

[surreal osprey]

Ive seen many wraps

Mainly on the other game before heat

[wanton pagoda]

Anyone know how to make a color similar or as close to viola bast

[wanton pagoda]

payback

[vernal topaz]

I miss Audi in NFS

[fossil dune]

[wanton pagoda]

Viola Bast Huracan

The closest I could get to SE30, granted I was tired fuck so this shit looked perfect at the time(most likely 1 in the morning)

Looking at it now it’s shit ik

Needs more of like a pink pearlescent or smth

[exotic parcel]

It’s one game bro chill

[simple spruce]

it's still odd to imagine they're not here

Considering They've almost always been in every NFS installment

[wanton pagoda]

I genuinely didn’t even know lol

[steel wing]

Got myself a Nissan 180

I'm currently debating what kind of livery she'll have. And what to name her. I'm currently thinking Trish.

[simple spruce]

Nice pfp

Nice Porsche too

Simple but looks better than anything I can make

[simple spruce]

I like what you've done with your S15. It's quite a style, though perhaps a bit slapdash

[surreal osprey]

cleannnnnn

[surreal osprey]

a drift silvia? nice

[karmic saddle]

it was originally a 3 colour livery

turned it into a 2 colour one

[surreal osprey]

still pretty nice imo

[wanton pagoda]

Recreated this bluebird 510 using the 2000 gtr

[simple spruce]

Pretyy neat

[wanton pagoda]

It’s fitting too

[surreal osprey]

nice

[wanton pagoda]

Because I believe the bluebird is the predecessor of the 2000 gtr

[surreal osprey]

probably

[wanton pagoda]

I’ll double check

Checked and it is

[surreal osprey]

maybe maybe make the sticker on the windshield a little bit smaller?

[pine jacinth]

Speaking of the 2000 gtr does anyone have any recommendation for builds on that ? My favourite car of all time and not sure what class to set it up for yet

[charred wasp]

draft build

[wanton pagoda]

Yea it looks a bit too big

[steel wing]

I like that you even did the For Sale sign.

[pine jacinth]

What class tho and what engine swap ? I did a swap on mine and messed it right up so don’t want to waste a load of money again 🤣

[steel wing]

Decided to go simple with a few decals.

[cold crypt]

"10 stars without a bodykit challenge"

[simple spruce]

Goddamn

Guess you did accomplish it

I am surprised it is possible

[cold crypt]

you can do it in vanilla too

[simple spruce]

No body mods at all

I am no doubt impressed

but it did come at the cost of roof scoops

[cold crypt]

typhoon is legit tho

[wanton pagoda]

Emergency Lamborghini Countach hot wheel remade in heat

Color looks different in game obviously

[surreal osprey]

Nice

[exotic parcel]

what the fuck is that lighting 💀

[wanton pagoda]

Wdym

Like the game or the photo of the toy?

[exotic parcel]

Game

Obv

[wanton pagoda]

I don’t really know tbh

I’ve never touched it yet it always looks different

[jaunty cove]

a Dukes of hazzard Movie car with Johnny Knoxsville But sanded alittle And made into a Prostreet style car

[worldly sparrow]

Someone's condom crawled away can the owner come and retrieve it?

Oh that was 3 days ago

I guess the owner did come around after all

[simple spruce]

Lovely

I love that you made the windows like that too

[steel wing]

Made another wrap.

It's based off this I found.

[simple spruce]

Does look rather nice

It's weird to me however why any BRZ build in NFS never looks as good as it does in real life

[surreal osprey]

Because the BRZ is a god

[exotic parcel]

Lol good one

[simple spruce]

Hehr

[steel wing]

It's one of those things where it's hard to find a wrap that satisfying for the car.

[simple spruce]

Indeed

I've felt that many times

[steel wing]

Or because you've seen one specific wrap on a car that's so good, it's hard to find another that's as good or better.

For instance, the BMW M3 GT-R. There are hundreds, if not thousands of designs for it in video games and in real life, yet everyone keeps gravitating towards the Most Wanted design.

[simple spruce]

Yeah that is true

Though there are still cool designs for that at least

[surreal osprey]

Fax

[exotic parcel]

I want that Abflug Ver.3 kit

[karmic saddle]

forgot I had this lying around somewhere

[simple spruce]

That looks really nice

Simple, but effective and classy

[karmic saddle]

its funny because this wrap is actually a premade one for the Huracan

[simple spruce]

Really? hahaha

[karmic saddle]

yeah

[simple spruce]

It looks like the Huracan and the Mustang Boss use rather similiarly placed mesh

[karmic saddle]

which is why it looks like its not a perfect fit

[simple spruce]

it's frrankly really close to perfect

[karmic saddle]

would probably recreate it in Heat but trying to get the cream right would probably be the most difficult thing out of it

[simple spruce]

it'd be a fun challenge

Because the end result would be great

[karmic saddle]

can change out the engine to something bigger but it'd probably be the Viper V10 since they don't have a 7.2L V8

oh Unbound does and it can be fitted to the Boss 302....nice

the engine is in Heat but can only be fitted to the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 and the Plymouth Barracuda, one thing I noticed is that it has 390hp and goes up to 1239 hp whereas in Unbound it goes from 390hp to 874

[simple spruce]

there is the victory

[simple spruce]

it seems like Unbound toned it down on the over 1000 HP engines

[karmic saddle]

I'm not buying a game just for that XD

[simple spruce]

Hehe, yeah of course. Maybe at a later date when reasons are more plentiful and the price is lesser

[karmic saddle]

or maybe if I was actually interested

[simple spruce]

that too

[surreal osprey]

I hate it but also love how you done it with this one

[pine jacinth]

Had to build one. Was it worth the $ to make it S+ ….. probably not 🤣 it cost a bomb and I am now poor

[worn birch]

I’ll take it as a compliment

[simple spruce]

I get that the fast and furious livery is so over done, but it is such a good looking build

Very nostalgic

[simple spruce]

Didn't know there were statements like this in the game

[karmic saddle]

oh yeah I think that was where it said that the M1 had a V12

or somewhere

[simple spruce]

Guess Unbound doesn't have the typical showroom style description for its cars

What I mean by taht is making the car sound cool and capable

This one straight up says the car is ass without modifications

[karmic saddle]

yeah it does give off that effect

[simple spruce]

Probably not the best way to speak

But then again Unbound is targetted at the car fandoms

Which don't breathe without engine swapping cars

[exotic parcel]

Literally Speedhunters

It’s fun though

[simple spruce]

Yeah it feels honest

it feels in line with what the fanbase would think or say

[exotic parcel]

Classic NFS has the proper probably official rundowns

Unbound has their actual car blog doing it instead

Which is just perfect

I love when they find ways to implement Speedhunters into NFS

[simple spruce]

it means speedhunters actually exists in lore

it's a bit cringy

But hey it is in line with what the fandom thinks

So it's basically worth every penny

[exotic parcel]

It’s been in since they were founded along with Undercover

With their banners everywhere

Then there’s NL and the R34 event

Heat with the showdown

[simple spruce]

Yeah but now it feels properly ingrained into it with their speaking

[exotic parcel]

And Unbound with the car bios

[simple spruce]

I am always gonna be wrong

[exotic parcel]

?

[simple spruce]

I always make mistakes

Saying wrong things all the time

[exotic parcel]

Don’t we all

[simple spruce]

i seem to always make more

With me, it's permament

[karmic saddle]

Shift 2 with the Speedhunter edition cars

[exotic parcel]

Yes

Shift 2 was one of the better ones bc alot of NFS cars were actually real

[simple spruce]

That is true

[exotic parcel]

Btw with all the M3 GTR builds

Why arent people recreating literally anything else

[simple spruce]

Cause they don't know enough it seems

Even i did another GTR buuld with mine

[exotic parcel]

Nono

I mean NFS MW M3 irl

[simple spruce]

I meant to say I did a more original build

[simple spruce]

I don't know to be honst

Theyy're just obssessed with it it seems

I blame it on Theo to be honest

he overglorifies MW so much

[exotic parcel]

Yeah tbh

To my surprise though he merely jumped on the M3 irl trend

They’ve existed before he started doing it

That’s why I couldn’t care so much about it

[simple spruce]

he certainly added more fuel to its fire

[exotic parcel]

I wish that Eddies R34 project had this much effort lmao

[simple spruce]

I don't think I've seen a single Eddy R34 project

[exotic parcel]

People go out of their way to get custom kits made for the 3

The one Eddie R34 I saw was just a Bomex(?) Skyline

[simple spruce]

To be fair, at least with the M3

there is a real life existing model

making it easier to base a custom kit on and make it

what about the Eddy Skyline? the kit is completely fictional

Both to model and forge it would be a challenge in a different way

[exotic parcel]

Thing is it’s the Skyline

Rarely do you see any actual body changing mods

Just subtle shit bc it’s a pain in the ass to work with

[simple spruce]

With the R34 GTR at least

Cause the car is just too expensive for most to wanna change it too greatly

which would lead to lost resale value

even theo dares not change much on his

and he said he's install a big wang and such

[exotic parcel]

Too many demo cars of past time were ruined idk what you’re on

In favor of Z-Tune kits

[simple spruce]

Past time were past times when the car wasn't so expensive

[exotic parcel]

No respect for literal car culture history

I wouldn’t care if it was just some riced out Civic but those cars were historical pieces

[simple spruce]

I do detest the z-tune kit however
It's barely any different from the base car
Feels like an insult to the car that it is just not right looking
that it needs a very subtle kit to fix it

[exotic parcel]

It’s literally just a Nismo version of the car

[simple spruce]

yeah actually about that, why is it even called Z-tune when it's just the Nismo kit?

[exotic parcel]

May as well say fuck you to all the 370Z kits and just put the Nismo shit on it

[exotic parcel]

It was tuned up, because Nismo was cool once upon a time

There was S-Tune, Z-Tune and possibly R-Tune?

But I think R-Tune was a Z thing

[simple spruce]

Hmm, weird

what i found very stupid about the kit was when Theo was complaining about the Nismo kit on Forza

he said "nismo kit is trash, add this kit instead, the z-tune"

And I genuinley was confused cause it is literally the same bodykit

Then again, Theo isn't that smart

He couldn't indentify the FXXK kit for the LaFerrari on NFS heat studio and said it was an original kit

[simple spruce]

It's a big shame

No doubt

[pine jacinth]

True statement aswel it’s cost me most my money to upgrade it 🤣 to 400+

[exotic parcel]

Fuck that lmao

What I hate about Heat is I’m forced to engine swap

But with tiers I’m actually able to be competitive without

Engine swaps are entirely optional

[simple spruce]

it doesn't help either that Unbound doesn't give the R34 many interesting kits either

And to add insult to injury, they take out the make shift C-west kit as well

[simple spruce]

So you can get to top ranks in unbound without engine swapping?

[exotic parcel]

Yes

None of my cars are swapped

Except my drift 190E which I sold

[simple spruce]

That's highly appreciated. It may sound bad, but I am an engine purist

and don't wanna swap my engines

Unless I wanna do a particular build

[exotic parcel]

I only want to swap certain engines into certain cars in certain situations

Like a V6 RX-7 after the rotary gives in

Or an RB26 S13 for an irl Sanae build

[simple spruce]

Like that time when i wanted to make a particular 350Z track day build based on a real life one that a girl had which was LS swapped

[exotic parcel]

If I ever get to that point

[simple spruce]

And I couldn't do it in heat because the 350Z in that game didn't have an LS option

have a 458 V8 in it instead

[exotic parcel]

Lmao

[simple spruce]

You most likely will. You are well on your way to becoming wealthy

[exotic parcel]

I do like putting the 458 V8 in tuner cars actually

Bc nostalgia of 360 sounds in my 6 bangers and rotaries in U2-Carbon

[simple spruce]

The one time when it made sense for me to put a 458 v8 in a tuner car was when i was doing that 458 swapped GT86 build on Heat

And guess what? THE OPTION ISN"'T AVAILABLE

[exotic parcel]

Lmao rip

[simple spruce]

hehe, true. Those old sounds were edited Ferrari 360 sound files

[exotic parcel]

Not even edited actually, the Modena’s stock exhaust sounds exactly like that

Unlike the M3 GTR/Cerbera

[simple spruce]

Really? Goddamn

Not even trying to hide it

I must say though

I do wish I could own a car

even a shitty one

At least I'd be able to really learn cars inside out like that

Or I'm just making excuses as per usual

sorry

[exotic parcel]

I need a car too tbh

[simple spruce]

You know what kind of a car I want?

[exotic parcel]

Hm?

[simple spruce]

A long wheelbase FWD Sedan like a Peugeot 406 or a Pars like this

i don't know why, but thinking you can make a car like this be able to keep up with much sportier cars, makes me wanna do it

Like have you seen British Touring Car races?

Long Wheel base help with stability and being FWD does help with keeping fast around corners

Just gotta be careful of the Lift off oversteer

I am such a stupid person

[exotic parcel]

Pars is nice

I’ve played a shitty mobile game that actually had one, as well as a wide body variant

[simple spruce]

Really? I can't believe You actually are familiar with the car

Haha, I am pretty surprised but also rather happy

[karmic saddle]

Z-Tune is more than the bodykit

[simple spruce]

Speaking of wide body on pars, i found something that's funnier

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/676472967630159882/1093820335570305054/1633548968_IMG_20211001_140303_008.png

This was a car mod for GTA 5

[karmic saddle]

but there are a lot of cheap replicas of the Z-Tune parts as some of it is CFRP

[exotic parcel]

Oh dear

[simple spruce]

A Rocket Bunny Pars

Now if there is a single Rocket bunny car that is as good as this, I'll retract my statement

but this has to be the best thing I've ever seen lol

[simple spruce]

People usually only want the kit

[simple spruce]

But the base car is rather nice

[exotic parcel]

Yeah

[simple spruce]

Thank you Nico for agreeing

[karmic saddle]

well yeah the engine is not really a thing that can be acquired

[simple spruce]

Indeed, they end up strapping an extra turbo usually anyway

[exotic parcel]

More like removing a turbo

[karmic saddle]

I don't know if they sell Z1 and Z2 engine parts

[exotic parcel]

Single turbo GT-Rs are what causes the sounds everyone loves

[simple spruce]

yeah you did say that

But even still, the car should be nice sounding with or withouyt a single turbo

How about a super charged R34 GTR? that'd funny

[exotic parcel]

Oh definitely

[simple spruce]

They might be selling parts based on them

[karmic saddle]

probably but they could be stupidly expensive as they are race derived parts

[simple spruce]

Hey, spending stupid money on a stupidly expensive car

it's all together a stupid idea

[exotic parcel]

One thing I’m surprised F&F didn’t spark was the sarcastic jokes to non-car guys

“Whats a better motor for my Skyline? A Gallo 12 or Gallo 24?”

[simple spruce]

I don't wanna sound stupid, but what is a Gallo 12 and a Gallo 24?

[exotic parcel]

Gallo’s was some pizzeria, the cop he was asking it to was holding a soda cup with “Gallo’s” on it

Cop went “uhm.. 24.” and Brian said “I didn’t know pizza places made motors”

[simple spruce]

hahaha

I see the issue then

i thought back then taht gallo was the name of a car engine or something

Pretty funny to be honest. Old Fast and furious movies' humor was rather nice

[karmic saddle]

which film was that?

[simple spruce]

2 Fast 2 Furious

[karmic saddle]

been so long so I wouldn't have remembered

[simple spruce]

hehe, it's one of those few lines which i have memorized

[exotic parcel]

I’m thinking of recycling some of my Heat builds

Particularly my F1, 370Z, 911 GT32, and my R34

[simple spruce]

Hey you always did a great job with them so why not

[simple spruce]

You can even improve upon their designs and builds with the new customization and ideas you may be able to come up with

[steel wing]

I'd download that

[surreal osprey]

Yes it was a compliment :')

[simple spruce]

Hmm

[exotic parcel]

NL would be good for it’s customization if it wasn’t such an excruciating grind

[simple spruce]

Goddamn it

I can tell it's a BMW, but can't make out any other details.

[exotic parcel]

E30

[steel wing]

By details, I mean the livery.

[exotic parcel]

oh its just a two-tone

metallic blue with a gloss grey top

[simple spruce]

I can see the car but not much of the details

maybe that was your intention all along

[surreal osprey]

Asap's aventador cool

[simple spruce]

That's rahter nice

[surreal osprey]

Y e s

[twilit hound]

you took the pics with the remix mode ?

[sweet yoke]

yes

[twilit hound]

damn, lighting

[simple spruce]

Those look really good

[sweet yoke]

Ty

[pine jacinth]

Simple and elegant. I love it 👍🏽

[shadow karma]

damn, didn't know that car could look that good. Also camera angles on point!

[steel wing]

Why have I never considered getting a Firebird?

[vernal topaz]

Because it drives like ass?

idk never driven it

[karmic wolf]

Thank you

[simple spruce]

Stealthy

[sweet yoke]

Ye

It's supposed to be covered in carbon but it just looks matte black unfortunately

[simple spruce]

It does look great still

[surreal osprey]

Heres my 911 from stream :D yes just removed the widebody cuz it just looked like a piece of poo poo

[twilit hound]

how long is this??

[twilit hound]

i did the same build at the back but with the bumper on

[simple spruce]

rather nice

[surreal osprey]

Not bad

[simple spruce]

That's pretty nice

[karmic wolf]

Made after

[karmic wolf]

Thank you

[simple spruce]

Hey that's pretty great

The recreation works reather nice

Maybt could have been a bit better recreated

[karmic wolf]

Agreed, i could've done a better job

[simple spruce]

Still though, this always means more room for improvement

So i believe in ya

[surreal osprey]

Nice job

[twilit hound]

thx

[surreal osprey]

My man unlocked the evo X today finally so happy

[twilit hound]

Sike build tho

[surreal osprey]

Nice build

I think my golf is better 😉

[surreal osprey]

I mean if it was a mclaren f1 gtr it would be better.. but still NO

thanks!

[surreal osprey]

Facts

[wanton pagoda]

Fr, it’s actually pretty weird that it works well

[buoyant wren]

what in the run.

[simple spruce]

Does feel very similar

[shadow karma]

Not really a build but why not

[terse geyser]

hell yah

[simple spruce]

Rather nice

[wanton pagoda]

That’s pretty smart

But put the Laf with the holy plate cus it’s the best of the 3😉

[terse geyser]

P1 is the best

[wanton pagoda]

Laf has v12, p1 doesn’t, in conclusion, Laf is better(this is obviously a joke but just in case it wasn’t obvious enough, this is a joke)

[shadow karma]

whichever car u like, go for it all of the 3 are beauty's

[terse geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-angry-punho-fechado-de-gif-26104429

how dare you say the p1 is inferior?

(this is also a joke)

[vernal topaz]

Well P1 lost in the Grand Tour test x3

[karmic saddle]

I was almost going to ask "what game was this?" and then saw the flat coloured person

[simple spruce]

Yeah they stand out

[simple spruce]

I was hoping to see an HKS design one day

[surreal osprey]

Yes perfect

[sweet gate]

thanks😅

[simple spruce]

I love your Advan style Porsche Nico

[steel wing]

Got a new idea for a livery.

[simple spruce]

What is it

[surreal osprey]

I just really like how u done the shots and the car fits well in that weather too

[sweet gate]

I try to match the car with the environment if I can 😅

[steel wing]

A Corvette livery

[simple spruce]

I've always personally found the corvette a hard car to make good looking liveries for

[steel wing]

It was gonna be a bit complicated, but I'm going with a little more simple.

[simple spruce]

Let's hope ir works

Best of luck

[steel wing]

I need to get the right Corvette first, or else it won't work. And I'm not sure if I have it unlocked yet.

[simple spruce]

Hmm, let's dee
