[surreal osprey]

super clean rx7

well done again

[simple spruce]

That looks superb honestly

[surreal osprey]

I like this one far more

[wanton pagoda]

This one’s the best out of the 4 you’ve sent tbh

[exotic parcel]

really?

[wanton pagoda]

Yes, the lancer I find to be a boring two tone, the red fenders are off putting on the golf (to me) and the rx7 is blue with a faint looking decal based off the picture

[exotic parcel]

cringe

if you ask me

the S13 and RX-7 are dogshit

the Golf is fine

the Evo is simple but effective, you can never go wrong with it

[vernal topaz]

RX-7 - good, even if the barely visible decal doesn't really do it for me
S13 - kinda like it, minus the wheel color TBF
Golf - my favorite of the bunch, really like the shapes lining up together
Evo X - as you said, simple, but it works

[exotic parcel]

I should show my sources as well tbh

The Evo is my own

I'mma do these next

[jaunty hawk]

Is this AI?

[terse geyser]

Yes

[exotic parcel]

Yes

[jaunty hawk]

Pretty cool

[simple spruce]

Damn, used AI generated images for these? That's actually quite clever

[steel wing]

That's one way to get ideas for wraps.

[surreal osprey]

Finally done was hard choosing the rims lol

[exotic parcel]

when will we get more slots 😩

[exotic parcel]

Is that Neville

[jaunty cove]

Yes

And that's my reaction over the slots

[simple spruce]

an honestly great idea

[jaunty cove]

Ik I'm not much into the whole AI Art deal but atleast it's used as a small tool for some inspiration.. though I wanna challenge the ai over the vic

[simple spruce]

That's a pretty good cration
But I gotta say, a stock sleeper Crown Vic alwayus looks good

[exotic parcel]

a sleeper

https://tenor.com/view/shocked-what-oh-shit-for-real-i-see-gif-8120501

[jaunty cove]

Yeah dont worry. the vic on the right IS the First start and the left is the final product. probably my favorite build i did based on Driver PL amongst all the taxis and police interceptors...aaand the Race Car Vics

[simple spruce]

I mean is it not?

who would suspect a stock looking Crown Vic

[exotic parcel]

nono

you gave me an idea nim nim

[simple spruce]

Oh really?

Now I am excited to see what you make of it

[simple spruce]

Driver PL you say? someone I know will be happy

[jaunty cove]

Dont worry.. i did 2 of em LMAO

did Stars AND Spray

[simple spruce]

Now that looks pretty cool
I am glad that this car also has some medium wing options rather than the generic designs on every other car
Most wings in recent NFS games are just oversized

[jaunty cove]

Yeaa... wished we got some classic spoilers from the Early to mid 2000's AND Probably some Retro bodykits that was in the era to make these cars stand out then like.. Say the eclipse rocking the same Robo-Car bodykit when people can use Bomex, Veilside or whatever other kit can make them cool.. but i guess that's me getting back into the early 2000's style stage on making great looking cars then just Simplistic looking cars with a good color and kinda blame a friend of mine getting me back on the early 2000's style kits too

Ik some people would say Riced but for me if the performance Is there with the visual look then its fine

[simple spruce]

Yeah I would prefer having more options
or at least making the wings somewhat autosculptable

[jaunty cove]

same here but what can we do.. Liscences n some other stuff gets in the way Oh and of course some companies faltered

[twilit hound]

Is that 2015?

[worn birch]

It looks like unbound

[twilit hound]

Wait nvm

I know this location

[simple spruce]

Pretty lovely

[jaunty hawk]

Bro thinks he's georainbolt

[worn birch]

Is that the heat map?

[twilit hound]

Are you ok?

[worn birch]

Soda

[simple spruce]

not bad not bad

[exotic parcel]

i fucked it up lmao

I put the mw12 lighting preset in the garage

[jaunty hawk]

it looks like a diecast

[simple spruce]

You sure this is MW12? It looks more like MW05

[exotic parcel]

It’s the daylight lighting is all

Gold/pink skies and all y’know

[simple spruce]

Hmm, I never realized MW12 had specific lightings

Then again I never played much of it

[simple spruce]

That does actually look better than the car looked stock

[simple spruce]

That's oretty lovely honestly

[terse geyser]

Na uh

[surreal osprey]

Yeah no sorry

[fervent quarry]

slightly updated version of the build

[surreal osprey]

Idfk what they did but that makes it look like you are trying to chance the new m2 into the previous m2

The stock looks nice tho

[simple spruce]

No yeah

[exotic parcel]

I’m with Nima

The old look on the new car looks better

Not to say I don’t like the stock look at this point bc of course I do

[simple spruce]

Thanks alot Nico

[surreal osprey]

looks worse actually it just doesnt look right

the front reminds me of that one bodykit of the m4

[boreal zephyr]

What car model is that

[exotic parcel]

2023 M2 Coupe

[boreal zephyr]

Mod?

[twilit hound]

No

This car released today

With the new vol update

[boreal zephyr]

WAT

I've not been following pof

Bruhhhwhat else came with it?

[twilit hound]

https://www.ea.com/games/need-for-speed/need-for-speed-unbound/news/under-the-hood-vol5-update sorry i forgot to reply to your message

[exotic parcel]

Not too much, but we got a cool feature for the vinyl editor

[boreal zephyr]

What's the tldr?

Is the gnx paid dlc or from speedpass thing?

[fossil dune]

Speedpass

You get the Buick when you reach rank 50

Issa' drag kit btw

[exotic parcel]

M2 is the new car, GNX is speedpass reward, drag inspired which may be a tease for what’s to come

The DLC cars are $15 Mini JCW Countryman, $10 VW Beetle, and finally the last three heat cars

Nothing crazy, all linkups are unlocked again and we have decal masking now

[fossil dune]

Also new perf decals

Falken, Stop Tech, Big County Labs, etc

[exotic parcel]

The ones that were on the Vol.3 DeLorean

[fossil dune]

Yeah

[boreal zephyr]

Nice c:

Decal masking.. I'm elated 🥰

Now let me add neon/glow in the dark decals 👀

What's the VW lookin like?

[exotic parcel]

supposedly the bodykit is transparent

Like the Porsche

[jaunty cove]

I gave it my best shot on such a blocky car

[simple spruce]

Feels like wishful thinking

[exotic parcel]

Who knows

Criterion kinda confirmed they’re not done

[simple spruce]

I don't know why they wouldn't be done now given everything that's happened

[exotic parcel]

Who does honestly

Besides Criterion ofc

[simple spruce]

Of course. Only time will tell, but given everything we've seen so far the chances of that happening are low

[worn birch]

What it feels like listening to Innerspeaker from tame Impala

[exotic parcel]

not really

remember we got back street-x and team escape

drag racing isn't so far off, especially with this GNX

[simple spruce]

I don't know, I feel like if there was any time to add it it would have been done by now

[exotic parcel]

but they still have time lol

[simple spruce]

I don't know about that
Volume 5 already felt like it may have not come out given what happened with criterion

Anything more seems like wishful thinking, espiecally for it to include anything major bar just another car and some kits

[exotic parcel]

they already said Volume 5 is the last for the year

for the year meaning they're going on to 2024

[simple spruce]

Alrighty then. I hope that's true and we see more, and more than jsut volume 6

[exotic parcel]

At least 10

[boreal zephyr]

I dig the beetle so much

[exotic parcel]

yes

I want the Countryman as well tbh

[surreal osprey]

Sim simma where are the keys to ma bimma!!!

[paper granite]

@exotic parcel https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/974327758199070793/1162389381861081249/image0.jpg?ex=653bc278&is=65294d78&hm=81382ddc4a527fe88ec22613a82f43b82df70cdb3445e3b7bdabc21f4875eab8& idk y but i want to do this livery on the new M2

but i know it’s gonna be a arduous process

[terse geyser]

E92?

[paper granite]

the art car from FM4

ye i think so

[exotic parcel]

M2

[sweet yoke]

Opinions on the wrap?

[surreal osprey]

pretty clean tbh

[simple spruce]

Damn that looks good

[simple spruce]

pretty nice

lovely

thanks for the reaxction silver

[boreal zephyr]

The beetle is just, such a fun build. You get that countryman and lmk your ideas for a build.

[exotic parcel]

I’ll get when I get the chance

[boreal zephyr]

Gotcha

Honestly, I think the beetle is perf as is. Could do a ratty build but I just love how trippy it is.

Between the rx7, G wagon and the Countryman, I'm genuinely most tempted by the swol mini.

[steel wing]

Brianna

[exotic parcel]

Nice

[worn birch]

Really compliments the blockyness

[exotic parcel]

best kit

[worn birch]

Frfr

[jaunty hawk]

dunno why they decided to design such a boxy bumpers to a more rounded lines car, carbon kit is perfect

[boreal zephyr]

Do you think it's boxy in homage to older beamers?

[worn birch]

If so, they did a shit job

[boreal zephyr]

Like a shoddy translation, ye

[terse geyser]

That kit is hideous

No arguments pls, its just my opinion

I like the stock kit much more

[jaunty hawk]

at least make the nose boxy too

[exotic parcel]

FUCK YOU (seriously bend over)

I like both looks

the boxy look grew onto me

but I think the Carbon kit complements the body alot better, especially with the widebody

[terse geyser]

It looks bulky and wrong

[terse geyser]

I'll bend you over boiiii

[worn birch]

[jaunty hawk]

i'll just use the stock front and back fenders to make it less bulky

But tbh it doesn't look that bulky even with the widest body

except the rear fender, I don't like that rear fender either

[worldly sparrow]

That bumper

[twilit hound]

That’s a nice rear bumper

[sweet yoke]

I don't like the round bumpers

Rear looks sorta ok but front looks disgusting

It's a blocky car if you make it half blocky half round it looks weird

Also i don't need my M2 to look like an M8

[worldly sparrow]

That round bumper looks like a veilside abortion

[surreal osprey]

No longer minecraft car :(

[surreal osprey]

Finally someone with common sense thank you so much fahim

Its stupid you just make it look like an aftermarked Bmw m4

[surreal osprey]

Thank youu yes the build isnt done yet im just waiting for the few cool stuff i wanna unlock from the pass

Might make the car a little brighter and white wheels ofc

(stock wheels the best)

[boreal zephyr]

I crave a gasser in Unbound man

[simple spruce]

hehe, not the right place to post that but I will say
MCLA customization was better and more indepth than it had any right to be
it's crazy how well this game's customization fidelity holds up

[worldly sparrow]

Nice

[simple spruce]

Lovely to be honest

[exotic parcel]

you know what it is?

[jaunty cove]

Isn't that one of the paintjobs from MW2012 or something?

[exotic parcel]

ye

[simple spruce]

You really do like taking inspiration from that game don't you?

[exotic parcel]

It has good liveries

[jaunty cove]

Yee it got some fun ones.... ifonlytheeleanorbodykitwasaccurate

[simple spruce]

It does indeed

[simple spruce]

That looks rather nice

[velvet stag]

Ty sir

U have a very big

Sorty

Sorry

[exotic parcel]

Y’know what

I’m gonna steal that idea on Unbound when I get home

[velvet stag]

Aight bet

[simple spruce]

Huh?

[surreal osprey]

perfect thats all i have to say about this

you done another good job

[sweet yoke]

ty

[steel wing]

Okay that's good.

[steel wing]

Margret

[wanton pagoda]

Thatcher

[steel wing]

No

Actually, I don't think that name will work. I'll have to come up with something else.

Michelle

How about Michelle?

Also random fact I just found out. About 40% of women in the US owns a Mercedes.

And I think in Germany, one out of five women owns a Mercedes.

[frozen salmon]

Obama

[steel wing]

Also no

[worn birch]

[shy atlas]

Mercedes
Since it's actually a girl's name

[steel wing]

But the whole name can't fit on the license place. It needs to be seven characters or less.

[worn birch]

Mercy

[velvet stag]

yes a soup

[fervent quarry]

yes a need for speed shift livery

[surreal osprey]

And heres my cleaner m2

[terse geyser]

Unnecessary bulk

[surreal osprey]

tbf better than that round bodykit

[shy atlas]

leave it to need for speed to fix an ugly car

[fossil dune]

Real

[worldly sparrow]

Only person in the world who likes the stock M2 right here

[worldly sparrow]

Agreed

Looks too fat

[fossil dune]

I personally don't think the stock M2 is ugly

but I much prefer NFS's Carbon rounded bodykit more

At least it's not one of the pig nose ones

[sweet yoke]

it makes it look like a 8-series

[exotic parcel]

The stock kit definitely grew onto me but I do think the Carbon kit is alot nicer still

[sweet yoke]

i just embraced the bulk

not that I like the car much but it has that novelty factor atm so i drive it a lot

this looks so good though how do you go from this to that

[exotic parcel]

You can say that about literally every BMW

[sweet yoke]

yes

all the new ones are ugly

E & F-gens all the way

[fossil dune]

🖐️

[sweet yoke]

the new m2 is kinda acceptable but not much more

The new mustang has grown on me though, i'd love to see that in nfs

[exotic parcel]

I do wonder what next years cars will be for Unbound

[worn birch]

The bulk is off putting

[sweet yoke]

assuming there will be any

they may just do bugfixes

[simple spruce]

Such a downgrade
bmw has lost it

[sweet yoke]

not just them tho

the revuelto looks like a car out of saints row or some shit

[exotic parcel]

Criterion kinda confirmed it

Saying Volume 5 is the last update for the year

So Volume 6 come January

[sweet yoke]

ik

but doesn't mean it will include a car

Vol.2 didn't

takes a lot of work and they don't have much staff since they're working on BF

[exotic parcel]

Volume 2 did add a car lol

We got the Maybach

Also the core team is likely what’s working on Unbound as they have been the entire time anyways

I think the members of Codemasters Cheshire are taking over for the next game possibly

[worldly sparrow]

I just want them to cancel it

[exotic parcel]

I don’t

People were complaining about how Unbound would only get like two updates and then get abandoned

Yet here we are, riding on the longest lasting NFS, at least in a long time

[worldly sparrow]

It didn't even get the two updates

[exotic parcel]

Heat only got one

Unbound got 4 so far

[worldly sparrow]

Oh yeah it got one patch which added day one shit

And then battle passes

Don't count them as updates

[exotic parcel]

We got more cars and more game modes

[worldly sparrow]

They didn't add anything

[exotic parcel]

I mean I’m sorry there’s no major map expansions or story updates but damn

[worldly sparrow]

Forza shovels a truckload of cars monthly

We get one car in 3 months

And some stickers

[exotic parcel]

Forza’s team has hundreds of people and microsoft money

[sweet yoke]

Vol.3 i think

[exotic parcel]

Every volume added a car

[sweet yoke]

or maybe not

but there was a big update with no car

the first one

[exotic parcel]

Maybach in Vol.2, DeLorean in Vol.3, Taycan in Vol.4, and the M2 in Vol.5

The first update was just a stability patch

Like they said they’d do

[worldly sparrow]

Skipped on two of those

[exotic parcel]

Volume 5 didn’t add much of anything besides masking, which is incredibly useful but still

Volume 3 added linkups and Volume 4 added gauntlets

Volume 2 added hot laps

Oh they’re all good cars

[sweet yoke]

all of which are incredibly simple events considering they took 2 months per update

[exotic parcel]

DeLorean drifts like a dream, the Maybach is solid for linkups and gauntlets, the M2 is good ofc because BMW, and the Taycan is pretty obvious

[sweet yoke]

also there is like 3 gauntlets 💀

they've barely added any new races

[exotic parcel]

With what, like a dozen people for the most part

[sweet yoke]

and linkups are boring after you've done it twice

[exotic parcel]

All things considered, they’ve been doing good

[sweet yoke]

idc how many people work on it

if i spend 70 bucks on a AAA title, i expect quality content

if it's mediocre, i can be pissed about it

[exotic parcel]

Forza couldn’t give you $70 worth of shit, let alone NFS

[worldly sparrow]

Delorean is one of the most mental illness cars they added

[exotic parcel]

If you bought it full price that’s your own fault

[worldly sparrow]

The way you get the Taycan is also mental illness

[sweet yoke]

i don't like forza's content either

[exotic parcel]

No shit, Forza isn’t cared about

[sweet yoke]

I enjoyed what was there at launch, but the updates have been mediocre

[exotic parcel]

NFS suffers because it’s understaffed, Forza suffers because the devs couldn’t care any less than they already do

[simple spruce]

Pretty much
One doesn't have the time and power but has the passion
One doesn't have the passion but has the time and power

[exotic parcel]

Most of their updated cars are recycled and the new to Forza cars are often cars nobody cares about.

[worldly sparrow]

NFS should be cancelled, everyone wants realistic simulators now. It's an irrelevant niche

[simple spruce]

They mainly add demanded cars so I don't think that latter statment is true

[exotic parcel]

Every NFS update except Volume 5 added something new to do, even if you think it’s mediocre I say it’s still better that they’re at least doing that

[sweet yoke]

they add the cool cars once the car pass and expansions are done

[exotic parcel]

Yeah those Chinese cars were so hot in demand

[sweet yoke]

you want new to forza cars?

how about a safari 370z

or a 370z nismo?

[exotic parcel]

Don’t bother

Just play The Crew lol

[sweet yoke]

A Xbox 360-era Porsche 911?

[simple spruce]

Exceptions don't break the rule though
besides some, the rest were indeed in demand

[exotic parcel]

The Crew is the better festival racer

[sweet yoke]

the wide-body bing chilling van is the best thing they've added

[exotic parcel]

LOL

[sweet yoke]

haven't tried motorfest but i hated TC2

[exotic parcel]

The lesser Hot Wheels expansion

Was that in demand?

[simple spruce]

More in demand than Lego for most

[exotic parcel]

How about the FD and HotWheel cars for resale

Because they were ofc paid DLC in the games before 5

[simple spruce]

Eitherway, I don't care much about those

there is just too much bad that Forza does that disheartens any good they add or make

[sweet yoke]

oh you bought the 100€premium edition to get all the dlc? well how about you don't get all the dlc

[exotic parcel]

Forza fell from grace in the mid-2010s. Only pathetic consumers and casuals buy it. If you want a genuinely good game, again play the crew

[simple spruce]

It's not even that great, just better than most as it has something to offer

[sweet yoke]

doesn't the crew motofest still have unlicensed rims and insufferable characters?

[exotic parcel]

I agree with Ditto but also I don’t, the street racing genre is dead but I don’t think that’s enough to warrant the cancellation of NFS

[exotic parcel]

Minor things, besides Forza has psychopathically happy people in it, it doesn’t feel natural

[sweet yoke]

tf you mean minor things

💀

[exotic parcel]

Unlicensed rims

If you’re gonna make a big deal about that you’d may as well take Asphalt Kid’s place

[sweet yoke]

oh and i've also heard it runs like crap on pc

[exotic parcel]

Runs fine on mine tbh

The beta ran like shit

But obviously it would

I played the trial last night and it ran just fine

[sweet yoke]

you don't even have the game?

[exotic parcel]

Read this again

[sweet yoke]

why is it not on steam 💀

[sweet yoke]

trial yes

[exotic parcel]

No not yet

I don’t mind getting it on Ubisoft’s shitty thing though

I just don’t wanna buy it full price, I’m waiting for keys or a sale

[sweet yoke]

so you keep telling us how good a game it is but you haven't even bought it

ok

[exotic parcel]

So? I played it plenty

I played it during the beta and I liked it, I played the trial and it’s even better obviously

It shits on Forza Horizon 5, I played Forza Horizon 5 but never owned it

I had it on Gamepass lmao

[sweet yoke]

Unbound was also great until you finished the story

[exotic parcel]

I shit on NFS Payback as well though I never bought it

[sweet yoke]

30 hours in

[exotic parcel]

Unbound isn’t great

No NFS is great

Unbound is just good

[sweet yoke]

💀

[exotic parcel]

If EA never rushed Black Box or Ghost or Criterion, then yeah

NFS would be great

But NFS is definitely a special case

I’d say Midnight Club was better, but NFS is more of a magnet for whatever reasons

[simple spruce]

I think what Ditto means more so is for the franchise to die momentarily

[exotic parcel]

I think Shift should come back in place of NFS for a while

Shift can be their festival racer easily

They don’t need a new IP or anything

[simple spruce]

so it can cool off, everyone can forget a bit
And so the devs can work and make something actually worth the while

[exotic parcel]

Yeah

[simple spruce]

As it stands, NFS is just another Forza

Another cash grab set to a release basis

And just like Forza, it's been subpar for the past 10 years

[exotic parcel]

It’s been at a peak recently but yeah I do agree, it needs to take some time

[simple spruce]

For one because it is impossible to please everyone and because EA simply doesn't provide the needed time and budget

[exotic parcel]

Like I said, EA should bring Shift back as a festival racer

EA wants to be home to racing games so I don’t see why they do what they do, they have a ton of potential to be great yet they’re just run by greedy fags

[simple spruce]

I mean right now Ian Bell is working on a game of his own, so I don't think without him there can be a Shift either

[exotic parcel]

Hmm

[simple spruce]

https://vxtwitter.com/bell_sms/status/1713074536222998818?t=_FkkAFUsd4MVpVzmZcq6uw&s=19

it looks pretty good too

[exotic parcel]

Honestly I wonder if that’s why Unbound is going through volumes instead of actual full on updates and then vault

[simple spruce]

Considering Shift and Project cars were his genius, I think it's safe to say, with SMS being under EA once more, this will be the next sideline EA racing game

Currently it's EA Sports WRC

[exotic parcel]

Didn’t EA axe SMS?

[simple spruce]

They did? I thought they had them under themselves

[simple spruce]

I doubt there's more than meets the eye in this case

[exotic parcel]

I’m trying to look it up I don’t see anything

I think EA just axed PCars

Though Ian Bell departed in 2021?

[simple spruce]

Maybe that's why Project Cars was axed
but yeah, Project cars was gotten rid of but I doubt SMS as a whole

[exotic parcel]

Currently he’s working on “GTR Revival”

Is that what that is

[simple spruce]

Yeah that's the game posted above
Which is pretty lovely honestly
GTR is beloved little franchise most famous for GTR Race 07 on Steam right now

A less serious face kind of simulator with alot of cars to play with

[exotic parcel]

Hmm

[sweet yoke]

i hesitate to call it genius

[simple spruce]

fair
i more so meant to say "They were his works"

[sweet yoke]

shift games were mediocre and project cars was sorta good, if we ignore the 3rd

[sweet yoke]

fair enough

didn't he work on ff crossroads

[simple spruce]

Yeah.. that one is not something to be want to be remembered by lol

[simple spruce]

I personally just have alot of love for Shift

[sweet yoke]

i have shift 1 on psp and it's terrible

and bought shift 2 for ps3 a couple of years back and i played it for one hour or two before ragequitting because of the physics

haven't touched it since

[exotic parcel]

I hear PCars 3 isn’t even bad

People just shit on it because it’s simcade instead of full sim

Imma add one more thing about the cancel nfs thing

It’s not happening

NFS is the biggest racing game franchise besides Mario Kart

nothing beats mario kart

nothing beats mario

[simple spruce]

yeah PC3 wasn't a bad game
it wasn't perfect, but it did everything and alot more of what one could expect of a simcade game with a career, plus alot of cars

[exotic parcel]

I wanna try it out since it’s simcade

I have zero interest in full on simulators

[simple spruce]

yeah they're rather difficult to get into

[exotic parcel]

Levi got me AC so we could play, I’ve started it twice

[simple spruce]

That could be quite fun

[exotic parcel]

Not even No Hesi won me over, it was boring tbh

If I wanna race realistic cars I’ll race an actual car

[simple spruce]

Eh, somethings can happen even despite expectations

[simple spruce]

That's.. not the reason why people are into these sort of games

[exotic parcel]

I play racing games to fulfill my street racing fantasies as well as building my dream cars and other projects

[simple spruce]

To be honest I didn't understand the appeal of No Hesi in the first place

[exotic parcel]

No Hesi is just the adrenaline rush

[fossil dune]

It's honestly weird

[exotic parcel]

I mean sim racers though, I don’t understand the appeal to them

[fossil dune]

Games about passing traffic is already a thing since Outrun or whatever

[simple spruce]

some are just into the details and the nitty gritty and wanting to truly feel immersed

[fossil dune]

The AC community somehow just made it like a real deal

[exotic parcel]

I guess

I like games like NFS and Ridge Racer

They’re fun as hell and mastering them is fun

Honestly I should kinda sweat Unbound for a short bit just to try mastering it

Maybe even try 2015s Prestige

What the fuck a guy just speedran a bottle of water before my eyes

He squeezed it up like a tube of paste

[simple spruce]

I mean you already seem to have done so

[simple spruce]

Some people feel the need to do everything too fast for their own good

[exotic parcel]

Nahhhhh

If I’ve mastered Unbound already then I drive some terrible cars

I mean, the 350Z is my A tier main but still

[sweet yoke]

well yes

[sweet yoke]

same reason people shit on mw2012

and rightfully so

[exotic parcel]

Shift 2 was a good game, I can see PCars 3 being good as well

I do wanna give it a spin

Shift 1 wasn’t bad either, but the handling was too slidey

MW12 is fine, it at least deserves the name “Most Wanted”

It’s not Mid Wanted 2005 but it definitely has the same goal, except now you have it as an online leaderboard as well

MW12 is still an award winner, it still does some things better than any other NFS even if not many

Generally, the game is just okay

But to say it’s not NFS is retarded

The only NFS titles to not be NFS games would be MCO and quite literally V-Rally

B2d wasn’t new to NFS at that point, crash cams were a thing since at least Underground, and the ability to take out other racers isn’t new either

It’s like Burnout Paradise simply because it’s by Criterion and it’s on Chameleon, that’s all it really shares with BP

[surreal osprey]

They still shit on mw2012? Damn it. It sucks tbh i always enjoyed that game

[exotic parcel]

I did too, great game with friends to just chill and race and roam

Paired with FH1, great dynamic duo of games

[sweet yoke]

what same goal

[exotic parcel]

To be the most wanted racer obviously

Except MW12 is barebones and MW05’s main goal is the revenge

[sweet yoke]

it literally means nothing in MW2012

the police have no purpose

you gain more sp by racing

and they suck

[simple spruce]

same, it has alot of stuff that I want in racing games

[exotic parcel]

It’s literally the core of the multiplayer

[sweet yoke]

since when

[exotic parcel]

Since forever

Who do you think wins in a Speedlist? The one with the highest bounty/speedpoints

[sweet yoke]

except you gain sp by winning activities

[exotic parcel]

Only thing is there aren’t any cops in multplayer it’s weird

[sweet yoke]

not escaping police chases

literally not the same point

not the same game

[exotic parcel]

Chases gain you plenty, killing cops gain you plenty lmao

Hell, a good chunk of the events are police events

[sweet yoke]

but why would you bother with the police when they suck and are just annoying

in 2005 they are the way you progress

in 2012 they just hinder you

same as unbound cops

[exotic parcel]

They’re annoying in 2005 as well, except they’re forced onto you

[sweet yoke]

police chases is literally the point and the fun in 2005

[exotic parcel]

2005 is just U2s progression except instead of forced customization it’s forced pursuits in the same two places because the map is so terribly designed

The cops are brain dead to call it fun is laughable

I genuinely think Unbound and MW12 have more fun cops than MW and even Carbon

I won’t mention the Hot Pursuits because that’s a different story

[simple spruce]

Well it's not so fun when you have to chase them instead of them chasing you for Heat 1
And you getting cheap shotted by the Police's weight constantly changing in later Heats

[sweet yoke]

if i could award a bad take award to someone you'd be my first choice

[simple spruce]

MW05 cops are indeed brain dead

[sweet yoke]

heat 1 and 2 sucks

[exotic parcel]

That’s my line

[sweet yoke]

but from 3 it gets good

[simple spruce]

And that's often the heat you start at, so you really don't get such a strong start anyway

[exotic parcel]

Carbon at Heat 8 isn’t fun

MW at Heat 6 was already annoying

[simple spruce]

And you'd prefer to start at least 1 or 2 by customizng your car to bring your heat down

it's what the game suggest

[exotic parcel]

But no, Carbon adds a Heat 7 and 8 for challenge series and they’re seriously the most tedious fucking thing ever

Fun my ass

[simple spruce]

So it's a direct contradiction

[simple spruce]

I didn't know that actually

[exotic parcel]

It’s just a chore list that you HAVE to do to progress

It’s no better than Underground 2

Plus you have to do it 15 times over

At least in U2 it’s only 5 stages

[simple spruce]

yeah i do think it was better how Heat did the heat system
For one, it's not even technically needed to get into pursuits to be able to get the rep needed to make progress

[simple spruce]

Though personally I'd still rather endure MW05's tediousness than UG2's

UG2 is just.. so bad with the pacing

there's no wonder no one gives a damnn about the story
or even know who the final boss is

Cause no one bothers getting that far to actually finish the game

But that's the thing isn't it? These games need something to pad out the game time somehow because generally the stories are actually rather short
UG2 has the pace killing tournoments and progression
MW05 has the forced cop pursuits
Carbon has the gang interference always taking over your territory

I think the only games which don't have any filler in between these is Undercover and prostreet. You can bang out their stories and missions without pretty much any reason to wait around

[exotic parcel]

Carbon was fine

Plus they added incentives to the crew challenges with reward cards

Carbon did it’s padding pretty well

[simple spruce]

Most don't seem to think that way
Eitherway, padding isn't a good way to design a game

But sometimes it is a given if the kind of game demands for it
But people do always prefer games which manage to keep the pace going with only fun distractions here and there

[exotic parcel]

I keep updating it here and there

[exotic parcel]

masking is great

[terse geyser]

Oh thats pretty nice

[exotic parcel]

I kinda wish the BRZ had a roof scoop

[jaunty hawk]

This one i like, gives slightly noise bomb colorway to it

[simple spruce]

man you're a true artist

[jaunty hawk]

I remember this one

[simple spruce]

holy crap man, that looks incredible

You make that car look good

[boreal zephyr]

Thank you, but I'm thinking of doing more with it

God how I need to get that beamer

(M1 legendary custom)

[fossil dune]

You got it man !

Nice job !

👍

[worn birch]

Godamn that is beautiful

[boreal zephyr]

🥰

Can't wait to get that buick, imma r u i n it 😈

[twilit hound]

I like that

[sweet yoke]

vroom vroom

[paper granite]

[fossil dune]

[vocal kiln]

[surreal osprey]

THIS

[vernal topaz]

Not sure about the front wheels, but the rest looks awesome

[simple spruce]

That's very close to the actual stylinng of the real 787B, impressive

[jaunty hawk]

Honestly, me too 😅. I was looking for some plain white turbofan wheel like 787B in the goodwood fest, but there's none. Might aswell use the same rotiform wheel as the rear.

[jaunty hawk]

Thanks, big fan of that car. I have the idea when mad mike's rx7 meet the 787B, so i just combines it

[vernal topaz]

I think there are plain ones. Not flat though

[jaunty hawk]

Yeah like this one, unfortunately it's not available unless you use mod, i've tried and it doesn't look good either

[jaunty hawk]

Also rydell got the same 787B styling for the miata in the story mode, some of the car in his garage actually look awesome (better than some of the AI racer IMO) i wish we can actually unlocked it through story or something.

[simple spruce]

Some of the cars in his garage are actually reused AI cars from NFS Heat

[jaunty hawk]

ahh i didn't know that since I never pay attention to heat AI racer lmao

[simple spruce]

Yeah the Mazda Miata with taht 787B livery and the Nissan GT-R in his garage are just two of the AI cars that appear as opponents in Heat

Though the Miata only appears in one story race and nowhere else

[steel wing]

Power Rangers

[simple spruce]

Looks kinda nice

[jaunty cove]

kiiinnda blame the PS2 Juiced 2 game on this idea. and Undercover with the tail lights

[simple spruce]

I am curious what your reference was

[jaunty cove]

pretty much the PS2 Crystal's car

[simple spruce]

Well that's a surprise
I am impressed

[jaunty cove]

yeeee. figured why not its simpe enough to do something with and go for it

[simple spruce]

Good work

[exotic parcel]

use the s550 its literally more accurate

[jaunty cove]

She had a skyline too in a few of these races

[simple spruce]

That mustang is not in Nfs

[exotic parcel]

Yes it is

The S550 looks the exact same but modern

[simple spruce]

I see no similarity between SN95 and that
Eitherway

[exotic parcel]

Really now

It’s the only other mustang with long blocks for headlights and the weird layered look in the taillights

[simple spruce]

I don't see it
I don't see a similarity
Only very vaguely if I squint

[exotic parcel]

Even if you don’t a Skyline over that?

[simple spruce]

The rear light design has been on every mustang ever, it isn't any showing of similarity

[exotic parcel]

Seriously?

[exotic parcel]

No, they never look layered on top of eachother besides the new edge and S550

[simple spruce]

The SN95 has a very Japanese style body, so a Skyline does bring about a closer feel
But regardless, it's mainly because the car selection in NFS being limited, so you gotta find something that looks similar ir has similar looking kits

[exotic parcel]

Limited my ass the S550 is literally the closest you can get to a New Edge

Unless it actually had a New Edge for whatever reason

[simple spruce]

If you say so then

Sorry I guess it triggers you this much

I don't see any similarity between the SN95 and the 2015 Mustang

[exotic parcel]

I’d may as well recreate Darius’ R8 with a fucking McLaren because they’re both round

[simple spruce]

I find the SN95 closer to the Skyline than the S550

[exotic parcel]

I genuinely don’t

[simple spruce]

The R32 or the S15 may actually be even closer
SN95 is known as the American Silvia

[exotic parcel]

By who lmao

The Silvia is a shitbox while the Mustang is a muscle car

[simple spruce]

They look very similar don't they?

[exotic parcel]

No they don’t

What, because they have boxy headlights?

[simple spruce]

You calling the Silvia a Shitbox? Goddamn

[simple spruce]

And similarly styled bodies

[exotic parcel]

Hardly

[simple spruce]

Sorry then

[frozen salmon]

WHAT

[exotic parcel]

I love S chassis with a burning passion don’t get me wrong

But realistically, they’re shitboxes

[fervent quarry]

looks like based on a hotwheels livery

[fervent quarry]

didn't know a ps2 version existed, which is just a port of the psp version

[jaunty cove]

yeeep

[fossil dune]

Lowkey reminds me of this

[exotic parcel]

I should get J2 and J1 on PC

[fossil dune]

You should fr fr

[exotic parcel]

if only there was a way to play them online

[fossil dune]

I wish... v_v

[exotic parcel]

lemme look it up actually

[simple spruce]

They're fun games, especially J2 with how great its car roster is
Every time I unlocked a new tier in that game I saw a car I didn't expect to be in this game

[hollow canopy]

how do u download juiced

ive been wanting to play them for agessssss

[karmic saddle]

If I remember correctly Juiced 1 on PC doesn’t like running on anything above XP

LA Rush had that issue too from what I heard

[hollow canopy]

mhm

might gave to get an xp emulator

[exotic parcel]

someone on reddit has links since it's abandonware

[simple spruce]

it does run, just not very well
Can't rebind keys either
The game is just hopeless for PC while Juiced 2 runs very nicely and problem free

[hollow canopy]

is juiced 2 worth the play then?

[exotic parcel]

Eh

For the cars and customization

the drift events are fun too

[surreal osprey]

what yall recommend i should buy in nfs? idk what car now lol

[exotic parcel]

A car

[surreal osprey]

hmmmm

[simple spruce]

You should say what game it is first lol

[simple spruce]

I'd say so
It's pretty fun but the handling will take a bit of getting used to
Do bear in mind that the handling is rather slippery, so you have to get used to it

[karmic saddle]

not many games out there that lets you drift with FWD and AWD cars nor let you beat supercars in drift events with those cars

[simple spruce]

That's very true, thisngame does allow even FWD cara to drift
Though I will tell you it's not a good thing to try out
The cars won't drift well enough in most cases

[karmic saddle]

I managed to get over 1 million points with a Civic Si

[simple spruce]

Thats pretty impressive
Guess it's better than I had experienced

[jaunty cove]

Saw someone do a 21st street paint... aaand digged it but with some minor touches like the grille aaand chrome bumpers

[surreal osprey]

nice

[simple spruce]

impressive

[paper granite]

rims, black accents around the headlights if you want to call them accents

[exotic parcel]

hell yeah

[surreal osprey]

Nice

Havent thought about a livery on my A 45

[maiden blade]

me when the cages are rolled

[exotic parcel]

?

[simple spruce]

I don't get it either

[surreal osprey]

what

[maiden blade]

i made a roll cage in heater

[exotic parcel]

I got on Heat with Space actually the other day

shit was terrible

[simple spruce]

Impressive work

[exotic parcel]

wait I was gonna recreate one of those in Unbound

which was it again

[simple spruce]

That looks cool kinda

[fervent quarry]

hashiyara

[exotic parcel]

not that one

[steel wing]

I think I have an idea for a wrap for the Dodge Charger. The modern one, not the old one.

[velvet stag]

its a preset

i dont make wraps cuz idk how to, i just use whatevr time i have to play and post pics llol

[velvet stag]

what do yall think?

should this have the bigger lbwk wing or the big duck?

[surreal osprey]

Wingless F40....

GET IN THE BIN

FBI COMING RIGHT AFTER YOU

Thats highly illegal

[steel wing]

I changed my mind and used the Camaro Z/28 for that idea I had.

[simple spruce]

Looks pretty lovely

[steel wing]

I don't think I'll add anything else to it. This is enough.

Also I tried to make it work with the default and speedhunters bumpers, and it doesn't.

Oh, and I named her Cassidy.

[simple spruce]

It looks perfect as it is like that

[simple spruce]

pfft, had to name it huh?

[steel wing]

Sandman, I've been naming almost every car I've bought.

[simple spruce]

Really? well damn, that's impressive
I dn't think I've ever done that

[steel wing]

I'll go over all the cars I've named in a minute. I'm in the middle of something.

[simple spruce]

As you wush

[steel wing]

Natalie, Ingrid, Cassidy, Sachi, Gloria, Angie, Emily, Valerie, Pearl, Brianna, Claudia, Sakuya, Naomi, Sabrina, Mia, Kozue, Yuki, Sophia, Izzy, Mercy, Penny, Pauline, Gaia, Melissa, Chelsie, Esther, Kumiko, Nika, Amanda, and Willow.

I have 45 cars in total, so I've named about two-thirds of them.

[velvet stag]

it looks clean fuck u

[simple spruce]

Pretty impressive that you can think of fitting names for all of them

[steel wing]

It's a gift, I guess. The hard part is trying to not use the same name twice.

[surreal osprey]

[marsh field]

I do like how simple this build looks

could add more to it later

plus its a decent b class car

[velvet stag]

its actually so adorable and cute love that rx8, i needed some inspiration now i have it

[velvet stag]

luh calm fit

[simple spruce]

That's a wide boi

[velvet stag]

indeed

[simple spruce]

Widest lol

[velvet stag]

yes

the only form of happiness i know is this

being with other nfs players

i dont believe in therapy but this, this is the only thing i consider

[simple spruce]

If it makes you happy, then it's good to hear

[velvet stag]

Yes

[simple spruce]

I can't say I am a fan of how extreme the camber on those Viper wheels is

[surreal osprey]

holy shit that viper

thats fireeeee

[exotic parcel]

I wanna do like

two or three more

as for the camber, I don't usually do that much if at all

buuut I felt like it was appropriate

[simple spruce]

It was? If you say so then
It can definitely be nice for them

If it works that is

[simple spruce]

That's pretty good looking

[exotic parcel]

Of a reaction

[exotic parcel]

recreation

[surreal osprey]

Bru thanks Cappu

[simple spruce]

i wonder where the guy got that wing
Cause it's not really a design anyone uses or has anymore

[exotic parcel]

Veilside still sells their stuff I believe

maybe he got it from there

[simple spruce]

But veilside don't design wings like that, do they?

[exotic parcel]

they do

[simple spruce]

Well damn, that's a surprise
If that's the case, then yeah maybe their wings are still readily available
Or at least more available than most parts

[exotic parcel]

Cut headlight cover

[surreal osprey]

interesting

[exotic parcel]

oh false alarm

i think its photoshopped

[surreal osprey]

definitely is

could've been a mod

[twilit hound]

This should be pinned fr

false alarm

false alarm

I like these magazine alike articles

if anyone can recognize it I'll personally reward you with absolutely nothing.

my god it's so yellow

[sudden basin]

OK that's nice as hell

[simple spruce]

That's lovely lookibg
Great build

I wish I could make something that nice

[vernal topaz]

google <insert car model> livery design and choose the one you like. Bonus points for facebook links

that's what I'm doing x3

[twilit hound]

When i say Windows I talk about the OS

[sudden basin]

yah it's my friend's pc so idk

[exotic parcel]

should be easier to figure out now that it's color is fixed

[exotic parcel]

better color scheme

[shy atlas]

This actually looks like a car that would have competed somewhere like Spa in the 90s

Especially that Status Error logo on the windshield

[lime sparrow]

Design I did for the new Buick bodykit

[simple spruce]

Even my recreations often don't satisfy me

[simple spruce]

Man that's nice..

[simple spruce]

Impressive

[surreal osprey]

Nice also really nice wheel choice

[lime sparrow]

These are the standard wheels that come with the bodykit 😅

[surreal osprey]

Bruh my bad didnt notice it lol

[lime sparrow]

Bumper delete go brrrr

[simple spruce]

That's aggressive, didn't know you could delete bumper on this car

[hollow canopy]

I made this when the game came out but yeah

[simple spruce]

Could use an update

[hollow canopy]

Yeah when I can play again I'm gonna do a livery

Greddy sponsor is my idea

Hans s15 style

[exotic parcel]

cring

[surreal osprey]

Crin

[twilit hound]

Rear looks cool but the front definitely needs a bumper

[lime sparrow]

the line is crooked

[exotic parcel]

a noise bomb vulcan

who the fuck drifta a vulcan

[simple spruce]

Gotta admit, it's a bold move

[exotic parcel]

ye lol

[shy atlas]

I think I built a drift Vulcan in Heat because I was bored

[lime sparrow]

Purple Porsche

[simple spruce]

That looks really cool actually

[simple spruce]

It was a rubbish car when doing grip so it may actually be more fun to wing it instead

[surreal osprey]

Interesting

As a 918 main driver i approve this

I know that wing is from the concept gt3 or something like that. But since its been put that far it doesnt look good at all

[frozen salmon]

Why is no modern aston martin in nfs unbound i mean

[frozen salmon]

It was the rsr concept

[surreal osprey]

Yes the rsr concept

[exotic parcel]

It’s like

Really broken I think

In S tier if you downgrade it

[simple spruce]

Wait what? It's still rubbish in Unbound? I mean rubbish in Heat when I said it is rubbish
I guess even still it ain't a good enough for top tier races in Unbound

[exotic parcel]

nono

like its really good in s tier

[simple spruce]

yeah but you have to downgrade it

normally a car this fast wouild be good in S+

or at least should be

[lime sparrow]

I think I kinda fucked up this one

[simple spruce]

Yeah maybe a little too vibrant
But not bad either

[exotic parcel]

It's probably decent

I just know it's really good in S

[simple spruce]

That's good to hear at least, does mend my soul a bit

[exotic parcel]

Vulcan and DB11

Those are modern

I don't know any NFS that didn't have a modern Aston if it had Aston at all

hello nim nim

[simple spruce]

Let's see..
I Know Hot Pursuit 3 had the DB7
The High stakes must have had an Aston too
I am sure HP2 had an Aston Martin as well but not sure which
Aston wouldn't return until Most wanted
Most wanted and Carbon and Prostreet and Undercover all had the DB9
Shift 1 and 2 had the DB9 as well
The Vantage V12 and DBS came to HP2010 and MW12 kept the Vantage
The Run had the Vantage too I think bur I don't know if there was another
Rivals had the Vanquish
2015 didn't have any Astons
Payback, Heat and Unbound all have the DB11, Vulcan and DB5

[simple spruce]

Helloooo
I hope I do a good job

[exotic parcel]

I hope I did too

I just finished my Language Arts test

currently awaiting my results, the email should be here eventually

[simple spruce]

Oooh, that sounds good
Good luck with it

And I meant with me naming the Astons

I do like Aston martins quite a bit

Sadly they're never really that good in NFS

[exotic parcel]

Yeah, the DB11 was pretty shot for me

Though I think Katana has a better tune on his

[frozen salmon]

No i mean Actually new aston martin like no more of 5 years ago

Like the dbs superlegera 2019

The new vantage

[twilit hound]

Uk police car

[simple spruce]

Yeah in Heat and Unbound it's pretty hopeless, doubt it was any different in Payback either

[simple spruce]

It'd be nice to see a newer Aston yeah, but I personally have more interest in the older models

[simple spruce]

That's the perfect Falken livery

[karmic saddle]

Because there aren’t many “Modern” Aston Martins to pick from

[fossil dune]

I mean we have the Vulcan

Tbf that would be more fitting in TDUSC

but yeah I do I like the new DBS

[surreal osprey]

So far the best looking car

Hell yeah a falken rsr

[simple spruce]

There are a couple
Forza has added a couple so it's good to see

[karmic saddle]

A lot of them are specials which I don’t think would fit Unbound

Only reason why the Vulcan is here is because of the copy and pasting of the car roster for a second time

[exotic parcel]

you say that like there's something wrong with it

[karmic saddle]

I just don’t think track only specials fit a game like this

If it was a new Prostreet style game or a new Shift then yeah there’d be a need for them

Though I am surprised that the Vantage is not there

[exotic parcel]

tbf it's nfs

we already have a couple of track toys

[simple spruce]

Well it's not like aston as a whole fits alot in NFS anyway

Especially something like the DB5

[simple spruce]

To be honest it does surpirse me too
Given that is the young man kind of Aston

But eitherway, it'd be nice to see more Astons, in any game
Forza added the likes of the Vantage, the DBS Super leggera and the Vanquish Zagato

Oh and the Vulcan AMR too

[velvet stag]

simple but beautiful

[steel wing]

Is that Carbon?

[fervent quarry]

yes, the place is from carbon, but the game is need for speed world

[steel wing]

Why did they not make it available on console?

[exotic parcel]

because its a pc mmo

[velvet stag]

been a while since i ever put this wrap

[fervent quarry]

now ruin it

[hollow canopy]

which nfs

looks really clean

is it world

[fervent quarry]

yes

[hollow canopy]

im gonna download it now

[velvet stag]

Nfs world

Yes

[hollow canopy]

im doing the nightriderz one

[velvet stag]

I'm in sparkserver since I barely get time to play weekly

[sweet yoke]

Redownloaded Heat on the Xbox for some reason

[simple spruce]

have fun

[lime sparrow]

Completely forgor about this bodykit

[hollow canopy]

WAHT THE FUCK

HAAHA

[shy atlas]

Not interested

[karmic saddle]

it was from Heat, one of the cars that was part of the Black market stuff and this kit was what doing all the challenges unlocked

hate to admit it but it does look better compared to the F1's widebody

but it really doesn't take a lot to do that

[exotic parcel]

I dunno

The F1 kit definitely looks nicer imo

[shy atlas]

Same here

[fossil dune]

I prefer KS F1 as well

[karmic saddle]

looks like it suffers from bee sting allergies and got stung multiple times to me

[exotic parcel]

You sure?

[surreal osprey]

Doesnt this look hot?
