Might look bad in the game I think, already all black cars (when made custom) look poor on this game engine, it must be something to do with the lighting engine this game has, they always look like weird with lighting

CM are really being challenged by the teams this year. They managed to get the Williams livery updated prior to release and now Mercedes have changed as well. Hoping that as with Williams CM have had the information about Mercedes changing the livery for a while and they are able to update it for release.

On the livery itself, I like it with the black contrasting with the Petronas green really well.

[s00zster 291]

Same colours as my multiplayer helmet. They've clearly been watching me and were impressed.

[mouldy32 18]

1. Really like how that looks tbh

2. Because I mainly play career (or MyTeam this year) I'm not bothered if it makes the game at launch or not because by season 2 mercedes will have changed it back again. I'm sure CM will get it in though even if not for launch 

3. Shout out to the poor guys/girls @ CM  working crazy OT on this right now lol

[tarrantino 131]

Looks real nice and a brilliant way to highlight the message. 
 

That said I’d imagine CM knew this and it’ll be patched in for Day 1. 

[Rafetagamer 2.0 12]

Hard work for Codemasters with these livery changes. I imagine that it will be patched in Day One.

Imagine how fast modders creating liveries within hours. I don’t think it’s a impossible task until the release of the game. I mean, it’s not a full new livery, only another colour sheme.

 

but yeah this season is special.

The trouble isn't with how fast they can make the livery, but with how fast a new patch can get through the sign off from the team, sony MS etc.

one more thing to this breaking news

[StanleyGoodspeed 115]

I bet there are some office supplies flying around the Codemasters office as we speak 😄 Poor guys. 
 

I wonder if there will be anymore last minute changes this week. 

[nothere270 9]

I don’t expect it to be in the game at the start, but a few weeks/a month or two down the line after they’ve had chance to work on it.

Beautiful car

[BelgiumDude 464]

I feel bad for Codemasters but I want this livery in the game 

[TruckGame 6]

It also depends if they've locked in the game yet, possibly haven't. Let's hope not anyway! The new suits for the Merc drivers mean they most likely won't have them in for release as we've not seen anything about it yet.

The default car should be silver all those alternative liveries should be an option like in the Nascar games. Sometimes in the season, we have special liveries and currently, we cannot use them, for example, Mercedes Germany livery in 2019

Yes agree. There should be different liveries available in the menu like in rfactor mods.

But this ain't an alternative livery. This is the official 2020 livery, not a one-off

[BelgiumDude 464]

It's the official 2020 mercedes livery, there should not be a silver one in the game. The Willams livery is also not the same as the one that was initially revealed. 🤧

[BiohazardBGR 178]

I guess the silver arrows are dead and now we have the obsidian arrows.

[Luke1991 7]

Feel sorry for the devs having to make all these last min changes.

You have to thanks Mercedes's virtue signaling for this. I'm hoping for an option to play as the silver arrows. No silver merc is like no red Ferrari for me.

Agreed.  Although with the black livery now being called their livery for the 2020 season, it should be the default with the silver as an option.

I'd like to see the Williams Rokit livery for this year still in the game as well as an option, although with the sponsor leaving/changing I doubt we'll see that.

Agree though that it would be nice if it was like the Nascar games where you can change between liveries.  It would also be nice if they could build in an age verification system like the developers of Nascar Heat have done so you can see the real sponsors that may not be age appropriate for some.

Doubt any of this will ever happen though as the liveries don't exactly change as often in F1 as they do in Nascar through the season.
