I know I'll probably get a lot of flaming for this idea but I reckon it'd be better for everybody.
If Scawen and the boys could find a development team who were to fork Live for Speed to a dedicated cruising game with the same Physics, Graphics and general interface, only with more relevent content such as an unlocked cityscape or a countryside village.
It could be considered a sister game to LFS, and have it's own similar looking site and forum, I've seen stuff like this done in other software, though I cannot think of any particular examples at the moment. Some of the advantages of this could be...
- Would stop a lot of cruise requests on these forums.
- Cruisers may actually get what they want.
- It'd be nice for Cruisers to not have to improvise with racing maps such as Aston and South City.
- May get LFS a bit more recognition through being a partnered game.
It'd obviously be quite a large commitment, but if Scavier found some developers in this community with the skill and motivation it could be pulled off and it could be a brilliant game.
