Ugly aftermarket "Extreme" parts

I remember "Project Torque beta" held on Feb2010,there are some ugly aftermarket parts list e.g.Bigger Engine,After Burner,UFO,Doll,Horn which I hate.
Especially,Bigger Engine and After Burner which increasing the car accelation and top speed. so if those stupid parts introduced in the future it will be standard using ugly outer parts and It gives much frustration against serious players. Those two most ugly parts increasing car potential should be removed.

Those Urgy "extreme parts" had alrady stated on 2008 (4Gamer net)




The text below is roughly translation from original text in Japanese to English.
(4Gamer net) 20Oct2008

Mr, Kaga; Yes, We will planning to introduce new lobby system which enables to show hundreds of player's cars in the same lobby and each car move their own till the end of this year (*2008)
(加賀氏: ええ。いわゆるロビーに数百人のプレイヤーがいて,それぞれの車が動いているのを見ることができる,と。これを来年内に実装する予定で調整しています。)


Interviewer (of 4 gamer net) ; Is it possible to introduce the (new) lobby system ?It is interesting plan though.
(4Gamer: 面白そうな試みだとは思いますが,本当に実現できるんですか?)

Mr,Kaga:There are many problem to solve. Biggest problem is that present gaming engine cannot calculate rendering hundreds of cars simlutaniously at the same lobby. In additon, original system we doesn't expected we will put hundred of cars in the same place. we need to rewrite network-code.
Altough many discussion makes it bigger future planning, if the future lobby system completed
the attractive of level-R world might be expanded, esecially dress-up would become important.
(加賀氏: さまざまな問題がありました。一番の問題は,ゲームエンジンが何百台もの車を同時にレンダリングできないことです。また,もともとの設計で何百台も同じ場所に集めるのは想定していなかったことなので,ネットワークコードも書き直さなければなりません。
 そんなこんなで結構壮大なプロジェクトになってしまったのですが,実現すればLevel-Rのゲームの幅が大きく広がります。とくに車のドレスアップという要素が,今まで以上に重要になる可能性が出てきます。

Interviewer (of 4 gamer net) :Um....there might be a player who want to appeal his/her original car (in a future lobby system?)
(4Gamer: なるほど。人に見せるために,自分の車を視覚的に強化していくプレイヤーも出てくるということですか。)


Mr,Kaga:Most of the players tuned for increasing the the performance of the car. However, it is expected that the enforcing the element of community by adding this new vector not only of fast but also appearance.
加賀氏:
 そうです。今までですと,車のパフォーマンス,すなわち能力値を上げていくプレイヤーがほとんどでした。しかし「速い」という以外に「魅せる」というベクトルを付加することで,コミュニティ要素が強くなっていくと考えています。


Some people blamig Gamigo about downgraded upgrade. I think it is not fair blame on Gamigo. Most of failure incruding Sim-cade issue by Gamepot ,personally I think.
reference: why Level-R Japan falling down?
