Update Speculation thread

Holy crap, the point of this thread is to speculate about game updates, not make people feel like they are old and drunk.

 

update on 17 dec

 

yes men bro dude

 

how do you know?

 

He doesn't? just pulled this number of his bum

 

I don’t believe the December 17 story because
A. I don’t have that kind of patience and I don’t even think the devs have that kind of patience
B. Seems like a weird date

 

Update 27th of November















2024

 

Although I think Tuesday November 30 is the most likely date since recent updates usually released on Tuesdays, I won’t rule out Monday the 29 (cyber Monday in the US), since that would be good for sales and as we now know, the update didn’t drop today (black friday)

 

In most countries weeks start on Monday, so Tuesday is the second day of the week

 

same, would be the perfect timing

 

Devs: *breathe*
No one but everyone at the same time: OMG UPDATE ON (insert randomly generated day here)

 

gabester: *eats a cheeseburger*

Update Speculation Thread: That’s our cue to say why capitalism is better than communism.

 

agree

 

Well so, in my opinion it will come out Monday or Tuesdays. Then, we all agree together so the devs will be forced to agree too. Right?

 

It would make sense to come out on Wednesday or Tuesday I'd say Wednesday more than Tuesday reason being devs could make a teaser on Tuesday than Wednesday release the update and have 3 days to fix bugs.

 

While we've got a bit of a lull in new information, let's speculate on the (long-term) possibility of Ibishu Hopper variants. Not necessarily in the next update, but in some unspecified future update.



I'm still holding out a bit of hope long-term for a Land Cruiser-style pickup truck, with a simply stamped utilitarian bed (not too dissimilar in design to a scaled-up version of what's on the Pigeon) mounted on an extended-wheelbase frame.

I think that's fairly likely in the long run, whenever dev attention swings back in the direction of the Hopper (although there seems to be a lot of work going on for other cars first), as the BeamNG team will probably be looking for ways to increase the number and variety of truck & light van vehicles in game.

What are your thoughts?

 

Bet your favorite scenario is the "Barrel Knocker", huh?

 

One of the most likely additions would be a four door body style, which I'd be all for.

 

A light Pick-Up Truck version of the Hopper would be really nice and fitting to the deeply utilitarian purpose of the car. I can easily imagine it with the 27in Mud Crawler Tires on the 15x6in 5-slot Wheels, the Off-Road/Heavy-Duty/Super Heavy-Duty Leaf Springs and Shocks, the 4.5 V8 and the Roof Lights on the Windshield Bar!
And based on the same longer frame for the Pick-Up, a 5-door version would also be great for expanding the appeal of the Hopper even more towards families or larger companies of friends!
There could also be Inline-4 and Inline-6 Diesel options for farming purposes and for carrying the goods more economically!

 

I would love to see more content for the Hopper in the future! A pickup version, a 5-door version, fuel injected intakes, rear disc brakes, diesel engines, facelifted body parts...there are many things that can be done to the Ibishu Hopper. It's a vehicle with lots of potential.
