F1 23 Liveries and Sounds to EA Dev Team
Good evening to everyone at EA Development! Hope you all have had great weekend, I’m here today trying to understand or at least try to see if you could do few small changes and adjustments to the ...
Forum Discussion
Hi Jlspeak,
Thanks for response, I do agree on gambling and smoking brands as they advertise bad habits for younger generations, now regarding the Maclaren I do believe can be done as the side pod has non of sponsors but exact same sponsor is on rear wing which do not make any cense as they got it on rear wing but not on side pod then in real life racing events on weekends they have Maclaren with OKX on rear wing and side pod and not only this weekend in Hungaroring, but other weekends where Maclaren had this on side pods and rear wing, so I do believe that EA team could approach Maclaren F1 Racing team and advise them on this, stating that for aesthetics and also to real life representation of Maclaren Racing F1 team could we kindly provide to all F1 fans community players of F1 game livery that will represent better the current F1 Maclaren Car which currently has OKX sponsor on rear wing but side pods are blank and we would like to fill that gap with exact same sponsor OKX.
So as per above I'm sure they would agree and we will or could see this livery at its mighty glory
Provided Codemasters carry out contractual agreements in its license. They won’t be approaching any F1 teams or FOM to advise on anything. Firstly creates costs and work they don’t need to or care to do. Secondly F1 do the advising. If there are omissions such as sponsors on sidepods it’s because FOM tell Codemasters to omit it. FOM are famously difficult to deal with when it comes to licensing
But then what harm the OKX sponsor will do on side pod ? as it's present on rear wing, with the same thing then why would they allow have OKX sponsor on rear wing but not on side pod ? dose not make any cense to the thing or justice.
I mean seriously, I got the part EA or Codmasters wont approach F1 teams or FOM, but since the Codmasters has contract with those sponsors why not just apply the OKX sponsor on side pod would that cause death sentence? or Damage reputation or loses of the sponsor licence?
As you might be aware that the talented people of community would have sponsors on cars liveries as mods which as far I have seen even VEO is on some Maclaren Liveries made by Community. Thing is each update that just cleans all mods restores game to original and then game is sad back again not to that point but you got the idea small things such as sound mod or livery or sponsors mods for race tracks brings this or any other F1 game let's say 22 or 23 to next level of immersion which to be honest could be all in the game but officially make it ultimate F1 racing game experience not to mention each time yes, F1 games getting slightly better with each gen, and adds bit more immersion but it's still lacking a lot to become simulator perhaps one day 🙂
I just wish Codmasters hears community and what people actually want to see and hear and as I said previously details do matter no matter how small they are but they do! Visuals is only one side of the coin, for it to be as one it needs all the rest.
- @StarKIndMan I’m a huge McLaren fan. I’ve put atleast in 700 hours in last four games. Does a visual detail as minor as this one bother me? Nope didn’t even notice. I play the game to race cars not look at them. Gameplay is king and hat Vast majority of gamers care about. With or without the sponsor. I can tell instantly it’s a McLaren.
Don’t believe me on gameplay is way more important. If you don’t know already. Search YouTube for Battlebit remastered. Game is Roblox like Battlefield game and is destroying all the big aaa fps games on steam. Because the gameplay is awesome and no cares about the low graphical qualityI play the game to race the cars AND look at them in replays. I watch the replay after every one of my races, I'm a big fan of the replay in racing games.
- @StarKIndMan As others have pointed out, the livery bit is not as straight forward because of the regs on certain products being present in a game with this age rating.
And liveries are done in collaboration with the teams. As in, they send references to kick it off and need to sign on the end result. We're not and will hardly ever be privy to the details, but given how teams like McLaren rotate their sponsors I wouldn't write it off that "blank" sidepod being the only solution approved by them among others discussed with Codemasters.
Case in point, just on the previous GP at Silverstone McLaren that Velo sponsor on their sidepods. So having OKX fixed on the sidepods was probably discussed and vetoed by the F1 team themselves.
All that said, kudos for the effort and the time you took writing those suggestions up. Haha this sounds dismissive, but (1 ) I'm a forum user just like you, being in no position to dismiss anything, and ( 2) I genuinely mean it in a appreciative way.@mariohomoh So and how about the sounds could they be improved be more to the real life counterparts, as per my post originally you can see attached samples videos and listen the sounds of Honda Engines on Redbull also the Merc engine used on Maclaren has slight pronounced whine of gearbox when slowing down and then accelerating, not to mention the sounds of gear shifts must be slight more lauder or more noticeable I would say, would love to se some improvements on the sounds
And last but not least are we in chance to see drivers line up update as Nick Devries has now gone from Alpha Tauri I would love to see our Honey Badger Back in the F1 grid in F1 game!
Thanks for your time and response!
FOM don’t decide the sounds of the cars though do they so you’ve not answered half of his question and poorly at that.
