City feels empty:
I really like Need For Speed 2015, Ventura Bay looks stunning BUT why I rarely see traffic cars (npc cars) ? The city feels lifeless and there are times when its way too dark to see my awesome customized car, crank the light and the traffic density up by 2 and then the game will feel more "breathable" in my opinion
Neon customization :
Where is it lol
Ideas:
Real-time reactions: -Just like in the trailer, when you pass pedestrian cars they either honk at you or yelling "wtf" when you pass by (or even cheering), it just make you feel special, that would be an awesome little thing. OR OR when you stop in the middle of a traffic on the high way, you can see (camera) light flashes in pedestrian cars while they taking photos of your beastly car, it would make the player feels cool with their experience. If you do some burnouts or when you doing some donuts in a dense city area, pedestrians cheering and take pictures too.
2. Showcase (Car club) mode :
This mode I think is cool when you and your friends gather the cars together, put all of them in a show case room and you can spectate every of your friend's car, and they can see yours too. It's more of a "social/hangout" occasion, it can happen in a garage, showcase room, outside of a bar, parking lot of a restaurant etc. Technically a car (private or public) club meet lol
3. Lobby, race invitation:
Yea the title says it all, instead of running up to someone, you can invite anyone and everyone through the cell phone, just like the story mode when characters popping up on your phone when there are events worth to join
4. Random activities and more game modes:
When you are bored and need some sort of fun, maybe a game of “Tag, you are it” or “Capture the Flag” , these little activities basically trying to keep the online servers active and let you have something to do
“Survival”, a game mode where the entire server (other players) turned to police cars to chase one player down and within 5 minutes, that player either try to survive or get rekt by the police
Your comment about the city feeling dead is something I struggle with too. The city feels really empty. I suggested at one point having different density levels of traffic depending on where you are in ventura bay and time of night. I think it would be cool if every part of the city had different high traffic times like rush hour in the real world and it alternates from area to area randomly for a brief amount of time so you get the feeling like the city comes to life every now and then. I don't know what this would look like but could be interesting.
Car Club - I think it would be nice if there were meeting spots for car clubs. Maybe I want to join the drift club today and I drive to the club meeting spot on the map. All we do is practice drifting in a line as a crew and maximizing points by staying together. Same thing with sprint, touge, and gymkana. The crews can be assembled there maybe and once everyone is ready there is a route and everyone drifts, sprints or touge to that route. And its always a different route and cops will chase and everyday life will be happening around us and thats the challenge. Something to think about.
Invites/Spontaneous races - There should be a way to invite close proximity cars to spontaneous races. For instance, I'll get around 2-3 racers and try to imitate a spontaneous race. Well, I would like to invite them all if they are right next to me. But I'm stuck only inviting one. Maybe there should be a invite nearby racers option as well. I notice its hard getting people to join actual races for some reason so this is the next best thing.
