Headlights,Taillights,and Requests
Hello Everyone, Alright so I have been playing NFS:Payback since it was released earlier for those who purchased the Deluxe Edition. I have been enjoying the game for the most part. There are some...
Forum Discussion
First off great post. Good to see I am not the only guy that look for those extra details.
As i real car guy ( ex automotive technician and had a few project cars myself) i can appreciate that some incorrect details can bug one a lot
I am sorry if i come acrossed as rude or nit picking but i don't mean it that way. I just want to mention that the in game Dodge charger only has the 68 and 69 front grill and tail lights.
The 68 year dodge had the full width grill with the hide away lights. Then in 69 the did the split style front with hide away lights as well. 1970 was the return to the full width grill but the added in a trim piece length wise to give ti a split look.
1968 Dodge charger
1969 Dodge charger
and here is what the 1970 Dodge charger looked like. You can see the trim piece .
I never even noticed if the hide away lights are off during the day. I do agree with you if they are on all the time . I see that all the cars with hide away or pop up lights have them on all the time. It would be nice to be able to turn them on or off like you say.
The 55 Chevy indeed has the correct details but i wish we could add or remove the rocker panel and front fender chrome trim. It was a trim piece added only as an trim package and never a set deal. Be really cool to remove it on my pro touring 55 to give it the final smoothed look. Like you say those small details go a very long way for us car guys.
As for the 56 Chevy grill you mentioned , we don't have that in game . The 1956 year had a full width grill like this.
and here is the 55 as you know.
again i would love to be able to remove that side trim piece for a smooth look like this . 🙂
In short i am totally in agreement with you. Those small details in game may sound small but to all of us who are so passionate about Payback and any car customization game really its the world to us really. I have said it before in other posts but there is times when I am customizing a car in payback and I become so involved in it that i can feel every body line, how smooth the paint is, the smell of the tires and all of those details us gear heads/ car guys know for real translating into the game. Its why i am so adamant about the tire widths and body rake as well. Its the perfect final touch that keeps the immersion going. If the small detail is flawed then it stands out like crazy and breaks my moment if you will lol. In game example , rim size and the stance of a car is so very important to its look plus well having the wider tires in the back and thinner in the front is a must for that fine perfect detail that makes you go.." yeah thats the stuff.
We have the C10 but can we take it to this level of "dam!!" . Se the stance , rims and tire widths are indeed a major part of the complete package. I mean that would be so bad azz to get this stance rim and tire customization in game.
Lastly like i already siad like 100 times lol , I would like to add a request for better rim sizing and choice. I have wanted to use some rims in game but found i couldn't get past the looks of them being to small in diameter . Maxed diameter still wasn't big enough to get rid of the thick side wall. Id be pretty dam happy if all rims could be maxed to tire size. Also i wish we could have more new rims added. Look i get that this cost and if Ghost wanted to make rim packs as purchasable content then I am willing and ready. I agree with your post and its cool to see that some one else is passionate for these details as I am.
Good post my friend ! :eahigh_file:
I get that you guys want extreme detail in the game but do understand that it costs Ghost money to license the cars and even then they have to abide by the limits and requirements that the manufacturer sets for them. Still i like that you guys are not throwing a childish tantrum like most guys here. Kudo's for that. I do think that saying that ''hideaway lights not hiding away during the day'' can make or break a racing game is extremely petty.
- I have to agree with DubzzO. I saw the original post the other day, but I haven't said anything before now because as he said, at least the posts are written constructively and not like a tantrum. But headlights on during the day breaking the game? C'mon.
Well I guess Im blind cause i never saw the part about the head lights being game breaking in his post. I do now but missed it the first time , oh well that's what happens when you get old I guess lol. I my self never said any of the things i wrote was game breaking. Having 350 hrs into the game now I am going to go out on a limb here and say i don't find these things game breaking at all😛 but it certainly would add to the game in a really big way.
Plus i have already posted many times to others that adding things cost money so I am fully aware of that. Read my other posts, i have done my research in regards. My main request / suggestion through out the Payback forum as been in regards to the tire width , body rake and rims. We have the exact same list of rims as we had in 2015 minus 2 drag and 2 off road rims. It would be nice to see a few more added. As well seeing that I know it cost to add stuff I said I would be willing to pay for some rim DLC packs . As for the rest of my " issues" I would think it would be a matter of doing some in game coding for the rims sizes to be bigger on a lot of the rims , removing some trim on certain cars via panel selection as we already have and adding in the same tire width and body rake we had in 2015. Thats all i want to see be done. I can even live with out free roam cops, events in multiplayer , more cars added and all the rest of the stuff requested on here. Like my C10 example says , it would be nice to to have these things for those final touches.
