[iLLGT3]

+1

 

The Jag is a fun car to drive.

[eXile]

GT500 is awesomeeeee maybe my next fav cruise car!

 

Caterham is epic and so fun to drive.

 

Jag S&B pack is amazing sounding machine and looks great and also is very fast for its class!

 

Super Sport cant afford, Tricolore cant afford the 612 Sessanta regret buying its terrible in every way wish I went for the camaro actually no matter how much I hate it :/

 

US muscle cruise anybody ? :p

[GTAMADDOG]

Time for me to buy some of those cars, me thinks.

 

I bought the yacht and got the Atom V8 (which I'm not really interested in) yesterday after I finally willed myself into doing the last Hawaii Championship. Need some cars to put in me boat now.

 

Edit:

 

Oh. My. God. I could listen to the sound of the Shelby Mustang GT500 endlessly and never get bored of it.

[V12 Monstro]

This game is just a big rip off

 

How come we are not allowed to paint some of the downloadable cars?........I find it very weird that we can't paint the GT 500 and the audi rs 5 when these car's are not exclusive's at all meaning you can get that car in many colors from the factory. I find that just wrong and boring that every one has to drive around with the same colored cars. This game is starting to really lose it's touch i mean come on really.

 

These are the only cars that are actually exclusives!

Aston Martin v12 vantage carbon black edition.

Veyron SS also comes in different colours from the factory.;)

[Ryzza5]

You can choose the paint colour for the standard Veyron when you purchase it

 

I can understand why DLC versions of cars already in the game might have a fancy paint job, but brand new cars definately should be customizable if the real-world counterparts are.

[Eudemon]

Not when it's the World Record Edition. ;)

[eXile]

Yeah Spade/Diablo is right, World Record only comes in Carbon Fibre + Orange theme, with different rims than the rest.

[V12 Monstro]

police cars?????????????

 

Since when did the police cars become available to drive them? I joint a multi player speed challenge and there was a viper police car racing us with siren and all.

[CLR-GTR]

That must have been that way since release, I also had it. But seriously, would it matter? They don't have a functional EMP or anything like that as far as I know so they can't kill the game I think. It's kind of fun even. You could have it as police escort.

[Mb]

You get the policecars after getting to level 9 on the sherrif thing i reckon.

[CLR-GTR]

Which equals to 35 arrests.

[Eudemon]

Excellent I got 8 so far, though if I stayed off the juice cocktails I'd probably have more.

[CLR-GTR]

Also maybe handy, if you think Enter is for the EMP charge (because it shows a green checkmark icon), it's wrong. You need to keep the button pressed for flashing your headlights, then you'll see it charging.

[Eudemon]

I have missed out on many Police chases because of Manual Gears. :lol: At some points when I'm pressing 'B' to shift down a call comes across and I immediately cancel it without realising.

[t.]

Ditto, although I don't mind so much.

[T1M]

Sweet! Bought most of the ones I like today, including the China 599. :lol: I love the rev counter though. Only actually bought one for myself in game, being the Caterham, it's a sweet little car to drive! :D

[V12 Monstro]

Do you only unlock the viper or do you get the charger as well ?

[Zulnex]

Remember the cars can't be painted.

 

Hopefully this might be changed in the future. I would love to see some more factory color choices.

It's just how the licensing works, unfortunately. Within a licensing strategy, you have to allocate your costs effectively to get the most value inside your budget.

 

For example, it costs more to add customization for a licensed car. This is because it allows the car to be represented differently than the manufacturer might like it to be displayed.

 

From the car company's perspective, there is less advertising potential if the car looks different than it does in commercials, and even less advertising potential if it looks ugly (i.e. if people choose ugly paint colors/sticker schemes). Due to that, the companies tend to charge more if players can modify the appearance of the car.

 

The same goes for vehicle damage - obviously the car companies want their cars to look slick and shiny, not beat up with the fender falling off. So adding this option costs more as well.

 

Overall, the goal for us is to give our players the maximum amount of cars, with the maximum amount of customization, that we can fit into the budget for car licensing.

[maggit]

It's kind of strange they charge more for giving players the option to paint those cars in factory colors... the same ones they provide IRL (another advertising opportunity for the producers!) but hey, no one said licensing needs to make sense...

Thank you very much for the clarification atari_destra.:cool: I have been wondering how the car licensing works.

[TheElement911]

In this case I believe it doesn't apply if you want to change the color to another factory-spec option.

I remember reading an article ages ago about a PS2 (don't remember which one) game that had vehicle damage. A manufacturer (I believe was Honda) at the time, didn't want their cars portrayed as cars that just fall apart and whatnot..
