I know im reviving an old thread here but:
I had some of the reviews completed but had a more time intensive schdule and could get no one to help out with the writing of the reviews. The ones i completed were really rushed and never posted them because they were not really the quality i wanted. The game version changed and i generally lost intrest in the game in general and picked up on other games in my spare time.
To respond to some of the above post, the writing was pretty rewarding but it took up too much of my time and other things take priority over that. I really didnt have an issue with bad cars as thats the point of reviewing, how do you know your car is bad if you have no compairson. Reviewing lets people correct their mistakes and make a better car, in fact, i would prefer to review bad/below average cars as it makes the writing easier as you get alot of material to write about(pointing out flawed design decisions etc.). And its generally nice to help someone with the game, as there are alot of people who pick this up due to the tycoon parts of the game, and have little automotive knowledge that is needed to be competetive even in the lite campaign state.
That being said, the UE4 version later this month looks intresting and fresh. I still have all the scoring sheets to use to review cars. If i can get some writers willing to help on a regular basis, ill have no issues putting out reviews as i have the entire summer(until late august) off. I enoyed writing these and would like to enjoy it again. My schedule is pretty stable this year as im no longer changing colleges/jobs, so i dont expect to disappear again.
Once the UE4 beta opens ill build some cars and adjust the scoring where needed(if needed) and accept some submissions.
Also, to prevent having a massive back up of review cars, i would probably limit the amount of cars ill accept per week, or another way would be to let everyone submit cars, and let the community vote on which cars to review for the week.
Writer Info:
General Requirements:
Active
Mature
Reasonable
Willing to write at least once a week
I dont have any specific requirements such as age etc. As long as you meet the above.
For those looking to help me write, send me a PM and be ready when the UE4 beta launches. Your job would be to write the review based on my scoring and comments on the car and then your thoughts on the car(you get the car file as well). You can write however you want, in any style you want, and ill review and accept it if its up to par for this thread(refer to previous reviews for examples).
I can score cars pretty quickly, in about 20 mins or so, so more writers means more cars reviewed in a faster time frame(if that many are submitted/have that many writers).
Id like to keep this as a regular thing as it was enjoyable to write about cars that other people made, no car was ever the same and each car was different even if in the same class as others.
Like ive said above, if i can get some reliable writers to help out, content on this thread could easily be done weekly. I would like to do 2 reviews a week once the beta starts.
So, if you have read the above and went to help writing, please PM me. If you any questions/comments/ideas reply in this thread.
