BeamNG Realistic Community Lore Project.

Yes.

 

Okay then =)

I know you were saying that Brompton sounds like a name a British Guy tried to come up with, but believe it or not. I actually think British Guy would be a decent name for a TV show character.

 

Hiroji (Japense ヒーローズ,Hīrōzu)

Yes the meaning is 100% fake

''One of biggest Keiretsu in japan''

A Japaense Keiretsu Founed In 1404

Orign:Hiroji Comes From ヒーローズ ''Which Means Iron or copper''

With his startup growing he started the Building Ships and Carriages and Swords which soon gained a ton of money

'1440s-1500s'

After WW2 as City of hroji was site of nukes during WW2 From US Army.


1945-Today
After it become a keiretsu and Hirochi Automobiles Started more and more cars.

 

The exact reason I started to move away from this thread, right here.
My entire reason for creating Legion was the fact that it wasn't based on anything, so it would spur people like @MrAnnoyingDude into having a slightly original idea. What he did with it by the way was pretty cool.
Now I understand that some of my names have been plain and utter shite and are ripoffs of other cars, I still made SOME attempts to have original ideas. And still do, as I'm planning on making a British sedan brand from the 60s currently.

 

To be fair, it's hard to come up with something both realistic and untried, and Beam is more on the real-world-based side.

 

>Realistic
>Legion
>Untried
>Legion
>Made Legion in ten minutes
>hmmm.wav

 

Well, I guess I'm more on the real car-like side.

And I make some far-fetched blends. British Leyland + Rootes + Fiat?

 

You-
UUUUGGGHHHH
Blending car brands and slapping a new name on them is absolutely not creative.
"Real car like" Legion isn't far off from that, could have easily existed in the real world.

 

To be fair, BeamNG dev cars are often basically real-life cars with some changes. The Covet is very much like a Civic, the Grand Marshall is a Caprice with some Crown Vic influence, the D-Series is like a Chevy C/K, the 200BX is a Nissan S13, the Hopper is basically a Japanese Wrangler...

 

Okay? What's the SBR4 then?
What's the Moonhaw- That's a Monte Carlo.
Suburst?
Bolide?

 

the sunbutt is lancer mechanicals and impreza styling
the bolide is a general mix of lamborghini urraco and ferrari 308.

 

GTR+ Ferrarri FF+ Hyundai Genesis Coupe = SBR4

 

detomaso pantero much?

 

You keep making the argument that because the cars in game bear resemblance to real-world cars, then of course the made-up car brands should be copy-pastings of real-world car brands. The two factors are not as correlated as you seem to believe. Creating a variety of generic vehicles that resemble real cars but no single one in particular (again, especially the SBR4, Pigeon, and new Pessima) it is far different from coming up with an uncreative and unrealistic brand name (that is either a standard noun or completely ridiculous) and equally uncreative and unrealistic "lore."

To summarize, creating (playable) vehicles for the game that resemble real cars but do not copy them is not the same as bad writing.

 

I don't copy real cars much, but if you're making realistic lore, real cars of the same segment are bound to pop up as a reference point.

 

There's a "reference point," and then there's "Neptune" and "Bruckell-Autobello Motors."

 

Both aren't my ideas.

 

Neptune was literally your idea 4head.

 

I got it from Youngtimer.

 

Oldsmobile: A brand that once used to be GM's upper-midrange contender, selling middle-of-the-road somewhat-expensive cars, but ended up getting diluted over the years, and finally discontinued in 2004 after it become nothing more than fancier Chevrolets.

Saturn: GM's idea for a more youthful brand, closed in 2010.

Buick: GM's midrange brand. Old automaker in the United States, founded in 1899. Was considered a candidate for removal from the range, but it is popular enough in China for GM not to do so.

Mercury: Ford's budget-luxury brand. Used to be the go-to name for innovative luxury brand, but then started chasing volume in the 1960s, and ended up getting closed in 2011.

Pontiac: A brand that supposedly was GM's sporty one since the 50s, but then started being pushed towards quasi-sport-budget. Ultimately ended up closed in 2010, due to a shrinking market.

GMC: Chevrolet's truck brand, originally created to give truck coverage to areas which had other GM brands' dealerships. With Pontiac and Oldsmobile off the market, it's now used to produce upmarketed crossovers and pickups for suburbanites, while Chevrolet keeps the blue-collar fleet market.

Ford of Europe: Ford's European wing, formed in 1967 by merging Ford's German, British, and Irish subsidiaries.

BMW: One of the largest luxury car companies in the world, as well as the owner of Rolls-Royce and Mini.

Aston Martin: A British sporty luxury brand. Remembered for their 60s high-end sports cars, had a bit of a worse period in the 80s and 90s, but managed to rebound to an extent.

Holden: GM's Australian subsidiary. Recently stripped of its own production capabilities.


Nice work, dude.
