 Pontiac GTO Need for Speed: Pro Street (2007) | Two reasons: 1. Brand has been defunct since 2010, and 2. Most racing game developers nowadays don't seem interested in the other Pontiacs or convince GM to license more of their Pontiac wares, because they're just essentially GM rebadges. Most egregious is this model above since it's just a thinly-veiled Holden Monaro with Pontiac badges and a historic name pasted on, not to mention anemic performance. Though Forza Motorsport 7 did manage to bring back other Pontiacs namely the G8 GXP. But that was it, though. And just to clarify, this iteration of the GTO was heavily disliked, because of the above paragraph. | |
 unknown Codename Eagle (1999) | It looks like those Mark IV tanks from Metropolitan Carriage | |
 IGCD Future releases and to-do list (2020) | I'm not surprised that he's banned. But then again, what difference would it make? He's just gonna re-register. I've at least stopped with the pic stealing, but unfortunately I think those would have to be amended, even if they were credited. -- Last edit: 2023-03-26 00:26:33 | |
 Volkswagen Golf Euro Truck Simulator 2 (2012) | Egon wrote I wonder why SCS suddenly started creating unrecognizable fictional cars. It would make sense for new Tesla Y in terms of copyright, but would anyone care in this case of 40 years old Golf?? Yeah I don't get it. But I do have one theory: SCS has seen an influx of new developers join the studio lately and their previous jobs in the past (if there is any) seems to have been making unlicensed mashups of different styles of cars. I am starting to notice a pattern here. ATS update 1.46 brought us the hideous-looking single cab truck and a slightly modified Tundra and truck chassis that purportedly looks like a Sterling Acterra, while the MCI bus and the F-100 (which was found in 2020) look pretty much like the real models. So why did the new designers do this to the Golf? This is a worse eyesore than the ancient Mk.V Golf that keeps populating ETS2. Personally I think the latter Golf should be remodeled. Is this also the reason why all the unlicensed cars lost all of their fake badges? -- Last edit: 2023-03-25 15:09:18 | |
 Tesla Model Y Euro Truck Simulator 2 (2012) | I think Midway (or someone else) is usually responsible for open beta pics. I'll handle finalized pics. But I haven't seen him since, so I don't know. It's probably because you're not the contributor of the entry. -- Last edit: 2023-03-27 19:09:56 | |
Volkswagen Golf Euro Truck Simulator 2 (2012) | I'm going to clarify that this model is made for the West Balkans expansion, so maybe it's a Golf... but horribly molested. -- Last edit: 2023-03-25 15:01:57 | |
 Audi TT Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) | I'm sorry, but why are we having this painful discussion? I literally spewed out explanation after explanation about licensing, and I get no credit. What gives?? Does anyone know a thing or two about how licensing works? | |
 Ford Mustang Angkot the Game (2008) | I'd fix the image link so it wouldn't be error inducing when viewing the comments section. Because honestly like this gremlins like this are really annoying. Please fix it or turn it into an imgur link. Thanks in advance. On the other hand the character model defo looks stolen, and unfortunately any asset that is blatantly hijacked is just asking for trouble. -- Last edit: 2023-03-24 03:40:36 | |
Audi TT Need for Speed: Most Wanted (2005) | As if anyone cares. The number one reason why we can't see certain cars or a particular marque is because of LICENSING AGREEMENTS. If a manufacturer doesn't get approval of their cars in games, the developers cannot put the cars that would be licensed otherwise in the game. Do you even understand licensing and how it works? In the past developers even had checkbooks to get licenses for the cars. There are many reasons why cars go away and it's not what you think it is. Maybe it's because a powerful version exists. Maybe it's a generational thing, or licensing issues. -- Last edit: 2023-03-23 16:43:42 | |
 Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works G 3/3 Transport Fever 2 (2019) | It is an exact match, but we need its manufacturer. The game's dev is from Switzerland, so it makes a lot of sense to have it here. After all this game had at least 85 of the game's vehicle roster updated. | |
 The Incredible Hulk: Ultimate Destruction (2005) | Y'know, I hadn't thought of this game's existence before, but this entry needs to be updated. Same with The Incredible Hulk game from 2008. I've played this years ago when I had the original Xbox. Too bad I lost that copy. | |
 Need for Speed: The Run (2011) | Vxctec wrote I wonder why there were no Ferraris included in this game. It could have used a 458, Enzo, Testarossa etc. There isn’t a Viper or an Eclipse either. Do you even know how licensing works in racing games? Do you understand that at the time, Ferrari were not allowed to be represented in NFS games because of the game's paltry amount of customization*? *If I remember correctly Ferrari is a very prideful manufacturer and before Rivals, the last NFS game to feature Ferrari was Hot Pursuit 2. -- Last edit: 2023-03-22 03:34:13 | |
 unknown Snakeybus (2020) | Party over here! | |
 MAN Transport Fever 2 (2019) | Since this model was remastered recently, this isn't a 1965 MAN. In fact I believe this is a later model, 1979 (to be exact) because of the turn signal placement. | |
Swiss Locomotive and Machine Works G 3/3 Transport Fever 2 (2019) | With the new pics this might help figure out where this steam tram is from. Based on description it says it was used in Vienna. | |
 Audi R8 Driving Academy 2020 Simulator (2016) | Still MFG for me. | |
 Forza Horizon 4 (2018) | Because it's a live service game. FH3 did have some of the live service gimmick but it's now a legacy game entry. FH4 is still around for a long while. It has 600 cars after all, but its incomplete sequel (read: FH5) had even less content, most of which is being resold as playlist prizes. Quite a disappointment. FH4 had less issues, FH5 is good, but really bland. -- Last edit: 2023-03-19 22:48:50 | |
 Isuzu Trooper The Simpsons: Hit & Run (2003) | Leandro wrote Wagoneer with modern interior If you think this is a 2022 model Wagoneer then you're way out of line. This game is from 2003, and more details match the Trooper. The older Wagoneer or Grand Wagoneer models look less like the car shown here. Also, no offense leandro, but as someone else mentioned before, you should stop spamming so many comments. You can get banned, right? -- Last edit: 2023-03-19 18:33:22 | |
 Honda Accord Scarface: The World Is Yours (2006) | Doesn't this vehicle have any kind of surname? | |
 Porsche 928 Scarface: The World Is Yours (2006) | Conick sounds more like its pronounced name of the German term, König, meaning king. Files (according to old comments) says this is the Konig N29, and the dispatcher says otherwise. This car also has Boxster 986/911 Carrera 996 alloys, in case you're wondering what the rims are. | |
 Porsche 911 Need for Speed: The Run (2011) | Vxctec wrote I know. I could not bother. And your point is? | |
 unknown Scarface: The World Is Yours (2006) | No it isn't. | |
 GMC Hummer EV Car Simulator 2 (2019) | Dude I think the cars in the third image are mods | |
 Renault 16 SpotRacers (2018) | I'm pretty sure this vehicle is an old Dacia of some sort but probably not. -- Last edit: 2023-03-16 18:34:48 | |
 Scarface: The World Is Yours (2006) | I wanted to make this a small continuation of the general info about the game, but anyway, to summarize (or in TL;DR speak): -The game's gotten quite a fair bit of unique mechanics at play. -The game's money system is a bit complex with its separation of legitimate and illegitimate earnings, and the ability to withdraw money via banks. -Progression is tied to your Reputation rank and requires exorbitant amounts of dollars. -The cops are unforgiving, extremely lethal, and spawn in mass swarms, and even has a mechanic that renders your survival completely nil if you don't escape in time. -The drug runs, distribution runs and taking out gangs is the sole way to earn money. -Licensed music is awesome imo, and it's not just the Scarface songs. Many songs from the likes of Public Enemy, and several modern songs fit the bill. Nearly 20 years on, how does the game hold up? Would this still be recommended, given the unique (albeit archaic) mechanics? Or is it just painfully difficult? -- Last edit: 2023-03-16 04:19:07 | |
 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X Need for Speed: The Run (2011) | Licensing.... They couldn't license the older ones, so no. | |
 Mercedes-Benz SL The Sims: FreePlay (2011) | Once again, I just don't see a single bit of SL in this car. The whole car is totally modeled wrong for a SL. Surely I believe this is MFG > SL. | |
 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 iRacing (2008) | I certainly can see those lights too. Maybe it's based on one of those NASCAR Camaro ZL1 they've been using recently? | |
 Hell Let Loose (2021) | What importance is there about a 16:9 ratio? I know you're correct on the cropping, which I just did, for example, for the one of the cars that got remastered in Transport Fever 2. | |
Mercedes-Benz SL The Sims: FreePlay (2011) | I'm with MFG, this car doesn't even resemble any real car at all. | |
Scarface: The World Is Yours (2006) | From its "You Fucked Up" mantra, to its vividly, timely designed era of Miami's violence era of the 1980s, and to its extreme gore only surpassed by Prototype, Scarface: The World Is Yours is fairly insane in its concept. A name likeness based on an iconic license, the south Florida locale, decent variety of weapons and cars, and a unique, yet awkward progression system make for a relatively niche game, where no game so far has managed to surpass in the open world department. Even with Andre Sogliuzzo, who just so happens to voice Tony, the protagonist, has somewhat decent writing chops. Whereas Grand Theft Auto: Vice City had many references to Scarface, including its mansion, this title is very much the name. And the game's central focus is all about the drugs, money, women, and getting as much exotics as possible. There's a lot of interesting concepts about it: The separation of clean and dirty money, the excessive advent of gore and one of the first open-world games to have executions, the ability to buy and sell drugs, a "Balls" mechanic (which frankly I'm not sure what that's for apart from health regen), and yes, an actual shark. Progression is tied to the exotics level (if I'm not mistaken), and the game's pretty much like this. You need to raise money to buy various paraphernalia, including new weapons, businesses or fronts, items for the mansion, the ability to travel to the Islands, pay off gang and cop heat (and I will talk in detail about how brutal the cops are) via bribes, and of course, buying exotic cars, through drug distribution runs, attacking gangs, and buying/selling drugs. Let me warn you about the police in this game: they are absolutely brutal. Unlike most open world games, where the police aren't much of a threat, these cops in Miami are extremely unforgiving, commonplace, and lethal. Any sort of violence will send the cops in your general location, but what makes this worse with this game is that if you don't lose them in time (as there's a timer on the minimap) or get out of the red zone, you will be in the "You Are Fucked" state. During this state, law enforcement will completely swarm Miami, determined to kill you in mere seconds. The HUD will be gone, and you have mere seconds to react. Did you think you could survive this state? You most likely can't. The cops are absolutely overpowered as they will swarm your general area and will shoot you dead. You can try to escape by car, but their weapons are very powerful and will shred a car (even one with armor too) within the space of 10 seconds. They're the very definition of relentless. And in most cases, getting to this state can even fail missions. Did I mention killing them will lose your balls - which is one of the advantages of getting health back via the rage mode? | |
 unknown Choro Q (1996) | Unfortunately I have to agree with Bruisemobile in that statement. Sure the design may have been based on an old locomotive, but it has wheels, which automatically makes it a MFG Locomotive. | |
 Porsche 956 Forza Motorsport (2023) | Would be fun... if it wasn't cut from the list. This is one of six cars T10 just up and removed without warning. Embarrassing. | |
 Ginetta G60-LT-P1 Forza Motorsport (2023) | Confirmed NOT part of the base game. This is the kind of scummy tactic modern racing games have, and insultingly, it was prominently featured on the Games Showcase event AND Forza Monthly. Appalling. Startin' to believe this looks like early car pass content. Which is bad. | |
 Waggonfabrik Talbot Verlengd InterRegio Materieel Mario Kart 8 (2014) | Looks like one of those TWINDEXX trains. | |
 Test Drive Unlimited 2 (2011) | Do you intend on getting other pics for the traffic cars, since almost none of them have them (and the Fuego in particular needs a front pic)? | |
 unknown Test Drive Unlimited 2 (2011) | This looks like an Airbus A380, well, sort of. -- Last edit: 2023-03-10 19:07:15 | |
 Nissan Skyline #DRIVE (2019) | Evolving design seems to be a new thing for games lately. Just seen it happen with Transport Fever 2 for example, which prompted me to replace the entries. | |
 Forza Motorsport (2023) | At least six cars are no longer confirmed to be in the base game. For now, they'll be listed as unplayable. Here's the quote: Editor’s Note (March 2, 2023): We’ve updated this blog to remove mentions of some cars that will not be available in the base Forza Motorsport game. We’ll share more in the future when those vehicles will be coming to Forza Motorsport and how they can be obtained. We apologize for any confusion. Source: forza.net/news/forza-motorsport-developer-direct Scroll down to the end. It sucks but what do you know... licensing is a pain. -- Last edit: 2023-03-09 21:11:41 | |
 Transport Fever 2 (2019) | Major update announcement for this game. For the first time ever over 85 cars in the game have been given a major remodel. That means I gotta get all of them replaced since so many of them were changed. This update focuses on the older Transport Fever models from the last game and I will check to see if they've updated it. There's also the Deluxe Edition. -- Last edit: 2023-03-09 20:11:58 | |
 Porsche 944 Turbo Fast & Furious Spy Racers: Rise of SH1FT3R (2021) | Antti-san wrote Who changed this to 944 Turbo?  Nobody has suggested it so far, and frankly, this doesn't really look like it anyways. Pretty sure this was over the Discord and they agreed it was a 944 Turbo. | |
 Porsche 911 Need for Speed: The Run (2011) | You'll be sorely disappointed that Gemballa didn't exist anymore when this game came out... and Rockstar SD was nonexistent. Pretty much everyone had to make do with Ruf until 2016. | |
 Ford Mustang Mach-E 1400 Rocket League (2015) | I'm sorry but that's how Ford calls it. You cannot convince Ford to change it just because it's not a Mustang. | |
 Kenworth W-900 American Truck Simulator (2016) | Antti-san wrote Thanks for restoring this, and updating the picture. It was no problem anyway. Do you think the AI cars should be updated since the cars now lack any form of badges? Besides, Twilight hasn't been around this game for a long time. What was it, 5 years? | |
 Jeep Renegade Euro Truck Simulator 2 (2012) | Also, one more thing, production years are not model years. Reverting to 2015. And yes, I've kept begging SCS to add this to ATS, because I've been the torchbearer to have this model to remove the S-Max. I mean come on, why is SCS so hesitant to convert it to ATS? They did this to the Mustang when it showed up to ETS2 update 1.31, and both variants made it to ATS (albeit the convertible model has different rims) in update 1.32. Between 1.30 and 1.47 (as of this writing) there have been 17 major game updates in the six years this model arrived to ETS2 and ATS still hasn't got one. It remains ETS2 exclusive all while the Ford S-Max remains in ATS. This has to stop. -- Last edit: 2023-06-17 01:33:03 | |
 一起来飞车2 (2021) | Why are you replying to a user who's banned from the site? | |
 Lincoln Zephyr Driver: San Francisco (2011) | Well, it's likely because they wasted their money on car licenses. Can I also remind you, again and again, that every car that's got a real-life badge or trademark, is INDIVIDUALLY LICENSED? Thank you for understanding. | |
 Ford Focus Need for Speed: Underground 2 (2004) | Keitanyan this model originates from Germany as it is an economy car, so really it should not get a USA origin. While the ZX3 model is from the U.S. that's still without regard. Learn a thing or two about different Fords - not all of them are American by nature. | |
