    Suggestions about the car diversity and culture of the game.

    I already posted this some time ago, before this forum category came out. I find that it fits perfectly in, so I posted it also here

    I want to point out the need for the car classics. In an Interview I heard Julian Gerighty talking about Paris - Dakar with enthousiasm !

    So, the devs shouldnt be afraid adding cars which not seem to fit the "largest public". Note that in very racing game you'll find car enthousiasts, so the playerbase won't be restricted on youngers or teens which are totally part of the XXI century. It's frequent to find real car lovers, in every ages which would like to see detailed and researched content. So skipping that would be a big lack of the game. If in contrair, you'll try to add classics and automotive legends, from past times (1960 to 1990 and over) the game will prove about it's genre and be a full heart race game, even if the gameplay tends to arcade, the content will show up good balance.

    It's a way to please players and to proove the depth of the researches and the work.

    An ancient proverb "Never forget the history, because it made the world as it is." (translated from German, sorry for possible erros)


    I'd give some few examples to illustrate my idea :

    When we take off road trips, and I already heard about Paris - Dakar in a gameplay video, the Porsche 959 will be a total must.




    So we are talking about offroad and rally ? Look at this. These are cars with spirit !





    Aside cars which were made famous by rally, we also have the exotics, which are true legends !











    Also touring genre had cars in past history which we will never forget :





    But to be centred to more modern times and give you an current example :



    So yeah. This are a few models, that shouldn't miss in such a racing game. I think about stock versions which can be tuned with the current offroad setups which are already available.

    And of course, those legends should be representative in each car classes and types, (circuit, offrad, track, street etc.) beside the new ones of course. Balance is the magic word ! I could compare the car list to a single car system. What is a big engine good for, if you haven't the suited tires to support it's power ?

    You can already find classic in games like Gran Turismo, or even, within a very big car list, Need For Speed World, which is a leader in racing MMO atm !

    So in this sense, I really hope for a big car list which contains modern cars, to prove about the novelty of this game but also real classics which will please many car lovers, who will also enjoy the newer ones, of course, and provide a fondation to this game and it's content.


    I think people shouldn't just throw their suggestions in the other thread, they should think a bit about it to contribute to the game project itself.

    IMO we need multiple sorts of cars to also attract players, and not just post a car you'd like to see ingame.
    Since they're many Underground fans here, we sure should get JDMs, Import Tuners etc.
    Then, of course, fitting to the location, muscle cars, modern and classics, some V8 stuff ! ^^
    Finally current exotics, which should never miss. (Koenigsegg, Pagani, Aventador, Carrera GT etc.)
    also more 4x4 evo's, like Jeeps, Chevrolet, GMC etc.
    We already had some very very nice suggestions in the sticky thread
    .


    I count on the guys from Ivory Tower, you're car lovers, so I think and I hope that you'll introduce such classic/cult cars. Also on our moderators here, like UbiMush, I hope you'll take up my feedback and try to share it with the devs Driving these around the U.S.A would make a pleasure to several car enthousiasts.

    So, more individual, on my whishlist, you can find :

    '79 BMW M1 (procar ?)
    Ford Escort Cosworth
    Audi Quattro 20 v
    Lamborghini Countach
    Lamborghini Diablo SV/VT
    Lamborghini Miura (if not to utopic)
    Jaguar Xk220
    Jaguar XKR
    Corvette C5
    Ford GT 90
    Ford GT (40)
    Ferrari F355
    McLaren F1
    Lamborghini Aventador
    Bugatti Veyron
    Koenigsegg Agera (R)

    So I hope you will consider this sugggestions.

    Being a classic motorhead since birth, i have to agree- I'd love to be able to race old chevys and if luck permits, the games performance upgrade permit classic stroker conversions to bore out the cylinders, but that's just myself. Me personally, i'd love an '84 chevelle with a 383 Stroker in the game... Love it like crazy...

    I think McLaren, Porsche and Ferrari are must makes. Their englobing newer cars, and also the older ones. So the makes can be represantative. Ford for Example will have the newer ones, but aswell the '69 Mustang I hope.

    +1 for this cars, but at first place for me is McLaren F1

    seems it's not a good idea, but anyway I'll try to suggest one more with not lucky destiny but with perfect curves - Lister Storm:

    At the top of the topc I said that I also created this thread before this category appeared, which implies that I created this thread in a other category, I'm just gonna link it real quick : http://forums.ubi.com/showthread.php...her-mods/page2

    I also got some official response from our moderator there :
