Update Speculation thread

I think it looks really similar to that Sony car concept.

 

No it doesn't...

 

After whatever this new car is comes out, do you think we're gonna get the Sadlad Bendover or yet another surprise?

 

Yeah, about that. Apparently Sony of all companies are making a new electric car. I used good ol' Google to look up this car and it doesn't look that pretty, but it doesn't look ugly either. It doesn't look like this upcoming vehicle for BeamNG though.

I'm not sure whether or not we're gonna get a Soliad Wendover or a car like that after this hatchback/crossover vehicle to be honest. I kinda hope we do though. By the way, Sadlad Bendover sounds like a cool name for a car, doesn't it.

I agree, this upcoming BeamNG vehicle (to me at least) does not look like that Sony car concept.

 

Baja roof rack/lights?

 

I'm not sure if it's baja, but it's definitely a roof rack with lights on it.

 

If we don't get the Sadlad I will probably riot, because I've been waiting for that car for almost 5 years at this point, since way before I even had the game.

 

I hope that was satire

 

No shit it's satire.

OT:
Okay so in all honesty, I think the new car is a crossover. I think this because it's one of the missing car body styles, and I believe what led everyone to believe it was a wagon was the angle of the camera making it seem lower. Also it could just be lowered and not properly raised due to it being in development.

 

You've been waiting 5 years for that car to get in the game? Fair enough

Well, we might have to wait for Shotgun Chuck to confirm or deny that :/

 

Knowing how hoes mad he got over the Sunburst's body style change I don't think it's satire.

 

Agreed, it doesn't sound very satire. It sounds more serious then satire in my opinion.

 

Well considering that it's the last car on the "WIP" list, has been there since before I knew of this game, and is apparently being worked on to some degree, it would actually be pretty infuriating if they just went "lol, sry, too many cars like it already in the game, not going to make Wendover after all"...

 

Even though that's an unbased fear because it would 100% never occur?
You do you then I guess.

 

Okay then.

By the way, was that "I will probably riot" statement satire or not?

Anyways, to contribute to this thread. I think a remaster to the caravan would be pretty nice. I think there should be at least 2 frame options for the caravan. 1. The current frame and 2. The 30 foot 2 axle frame.



The interior could probably use a bit of an update eventually and there should be a keyboard button like O as a control to open the door. I think the devs should make the lights in the caravan interior work and I think they should also add a control to turn on the lights. Anyways, I think a update and expansion to the caravan would be nice. Quite a few users on here want a 30 foot caravan anyways

That said, the devs can do whatever they want

I agree with that statement.

Anyways, I'm curious as to what people on here would think of a Canadian map.

 

It may come with a crossover variant, but the one we see in the teaser video is, to me, without a doubt a hatchback.

We only have three modern cars: a midsize station wagon, a sports roadster type thing, and a compact sedan. We don't have a modern five-door hatchback yet.

The bottom of the wheels are a reference point for where on the ground the car is. We can use this to see that the space between the bottom of the wheels and the bottom of the car is not large enough for it to be a crossover. Also note how large the wheels are.

Most importantly, there is no black plastic body cladding along the edges of the car, which is something every compact crossover on the market has.

If the body and wheels were completed to the point that they were ready to show it off, why wouldn't the suspension height be accurate?

 

I'll take any map.

 

On this topic: When do we think a new map will be released?
I personally doubt we'll see one for a very long time, about as long as the Wendover, because the focus has shifted to remastering older content (that includes both maps and vehicles).

 

Salad Bendover would fit well with a Detroit-esque map, because shit car fits with shit city.

 

It's gonna be a while, unless they've been keeping the next one a very tight secret.

Italy (4x4) and West Coast (2x2) both took years to go from concept to finished map, and so far we don't even know what the next map is going to be yet. It may well be post 1.0 or at least after the transition from alpha to beta, depending on what versioning scheme the devs decide to use. Making a truly high-quality map is an amazingly difficult and time-consuming task; the first few were able to release closer together because they used a lot of the same "tropical" and "abandoned industrial" assets as each other and DRI.
