Update Speculation thread

I have a friend who works at Beamng. He only has a minor role (having to listen to karens complaining about problems with the game), but one day, he heard some of the workers there talk.
What he heard:
"...a 200bx remaster?"
"Yes, but when?"
"...not now... later update..."
"0.26? Thats late."
"yeah but we're already working on remastering the trailers for the 0.25 and we..."

Not joking

 

Ok

 

Well if that's true you just grassed him

 

To be fair, maybe these other employees were just talking nonsense but my friend is more reliable than Google

 

Firstly: don't be surprised if you don't get anymore nuggets like that from your friend, honestly.

Secondly, it sounds like the developers have a roadmap in mind for the game, which is a surprise to no one. But when things change (because they will), people get upset. Think about the Bolide.

And, again, you really shouldn't go back on your friend like that, kind of a sh-tty thing to do, and, in any case, most here are right to not be immediately trusting; [CITATION NEEDED!]

 

BeamNG employees are very secretive. They wouldn’t have told you that.

 

"I have a friend who works at Beamng. He only has a minor role (having to listen to karens complaining about problems with the game), but one day, he heard some of the workers there talk."

I can see it. I don't believe it but I can see the possibility. In any case, I stand by what I said earlier.

 

As much as I want to believe you, I just can't. Namely because the devs are very secretive, but also because of the cars that came out BEFORE the 200BX (released in 0.3.8.1) and have not received a public remaster:
Ibishu Covet (0.3) (Just a few configs and a new engine were added)
Civetta Bolide (0.3) (We all know about that )
Gavril H-Series (0.3) (Happening soon )
Hirochi Sunburst (0.3.6) (No signs of that happening yet)
Bruckell Moonhawk (0.3.0.4) (Maybe coming soon???)
Gavril T-Series (0.3.6) (No signs of that EVER happening)

I think this is fake. However, even if this IS real, don't you think it is a little bit mean to go and backstab them like that? If the devs want info to be known, they would do a teaser or something.

 

Not to jump down your throat, seeing as I mostly agree, but D-series came first, afaik, and legran got a remaster, as did the D-series, and the pigeon - all rather old cars.

 

Not to sound stupid, but what do you mean?

 

Not much, other than the better way of looking at it would be subjective quality as opposed to age. Since the sunburst really isn't in that bad shape at the moment.

 

I guess you are right, but the 200BX was supposed to get a Gavril V8 swap, which has not happened yet. It was said back in 2013, so it should've been in there by now. It might be part of the "remaster"

 

my bad

 

I'm gonna say you're making this up for a number of reasons.

1. Back in the day I was on much better terms with the developers and talked to them quite often and they never revealed future plans. They are under NDAs and legally cannot disclose that information without approval from higher ups.
2. BeamNG clearly has a priority list for vehicle remasters as implied by Stoat when he talked about the Bolide remaster. It's hard to believe that the trailers are higher priority for remastering than the 200bx.
3. The trailers are a lot simpler than a normal car, so even if they were somehow "higher priority", I still highly doubt they'd delay a remaster for them.

This whole thing reeks of "my dad works at Nintendo" and I can't believe that some of the people here are taking this seriously.

 

that's like the most made-up conversation I've ever heard. A least make it sound real

 

If your firend would have really told this to you he most likely would've broken his contract since from what I know most comapnies in germany don't allow you to tell company secrects to others and that can be fined and your friend would most likely have a nda contract which would not allow him to say this to others anyways

 

Im having a hard time believing he would have risked his job...

 

Okay, we are going to stop with this. We all know @mhegai is full of shit. Let's move on.
