Occasions adjustments. Though you may nonetheless see billboards presenting new showroom merchandise or watch an commercial on TV proving {that a} new SUV-coupe is simply what you want, because of the Web, there are additionally new advertising strategies. In 2024, Renault centered on… gaming mods.
I ponder if my automobile is there
Racing video games are a really attention-grabbing subject relating to modifications. rFactor or Assetto Corsa of their fundamental model, in comparison with Forza Motorsport or Gran Turismo, don’t provide a lot. Nonetheless, if somebody delves into boards with automobiles or routes added by followers, they will drown in terabytes of content material. There may be nothing higher than discovering a refined mannequin of the automobile we at present drive and taking pictures higher occasions at Spa Francorchamps.
That is what the “actual” Renault 5 seems like (picture: producer)
The brand new electrical Renault 5 e-tech will definitely seem in one of many fashionable racing video games. It is usually attainable that modders will make us drive the automobile within the above-mentioned Assetto Corsa or rFactor. Nonetheless, the producer determined to method the promotion of the brand new electrical automobile in a barely completely different means – it developed mods for video games, none of that are pure racing video games.
Renault 5 enters Stardew Valley
In fact, the French can be taking pictures themselves within the foot in the event that they omitted the preferred titles amongst gamers, so you may play the brand new “5” primarily in Fortnite, the place you’ll participate in a sport of cover and search with different gamers. Minecraft, alternatively, is a spot for an angular interpretation of R5 and the choice to trip on three routes. In Roblox, we are able to go to Greenville, the place you too can do a bit with the automobile itself, e.g. change the colour of the physique or rims.
There may be additionally a mod for The Sandbox and Garry’s Mod. Nonetheless, my favorites are mods for Stardew Valley, Palworld, Stray and Subnautica. To clarify to non-gamers how loopy these concepts are:
- Stardew Valley is a 2D sport about operating a farm,
- Palworld is, to place it very merely, “Pokemon with weapons”,
- Stray is a platformer wherein the primary character is a cat,
- Subnautica is a survival sport happening fully underwater.
50 gaming faces of the R5 (Supply: Renault)
Probably the most spectacular mod is for Stardew Valley, the place R5 isn’t just an extra 2D mannequin within the sport. The creators tried so as to add colourful furnishings to the sport renovated automobiles, and a storage was constructed within the city, owned by Louis. This can be a new character for whom we are able to full a number of duties and even marry her.
Even when few individuals will dare to interchange Orserek from Palworld or will swim underwater in Renault 5, the French have an enormous plus for such an uncommon motion for my part. Sadly for them, I am extra drawn to the Alpine A110 than to an electrical metropolis automobile with a diamond on the hood…
You’ll be able to all mods view right herethough in the mean time the hyperlink to the modification for Subnautica has an error – it’s good to take away the final two characters of the hyperlink in order that solely “1593” stays and it takes you to the Nexus Mods web site.
