Personally i think it looks like the graphics are different and IMO it might be evidence that theyre finally implementing, among other things, the new tonemap, which is less dull, more filmic. Definitely looking forward to the update now!! I hope theyre also implementing the autoexposure and working bloom again but i dont want to be needy lol
True that, the first teaser for the Cherrier FCVs was out on December 21st 2019, with the full article presenting the final state of the cars and the modern electronic Stability/Traction systems published on February 11th 2020 (IIRC) and the 0.19 Update dropping on April 8th 2020, less than 4 months after the first teaser. --- Post updated --- Three and a half months. January 18th was the first teaser for the new Civetta.
its just a thing updates like 0.25, 0.5, etc are called by some people its just symbolic since its like 'one quarter' update
So, what I notice in the teaser -new MR engined turbocharged covet with a widebody (obv) -euro spec taillights -new wheels -seemingly updated graphics I feel the update coming soon, with the new civvetta (most likely a different nameplate than the bolide) included in it.
It could also be that the new Civetta was more advandced at the time we got the drawings. I don´t necessarily see why, what we see in teasers is how far they are in the developing stages. I remember hearing a dev say the teasers are usually ready and scheduled to be posted (which is also why it´s weird for me that we have so few)
I'm thinking that potentially the Civetta is holding back development a little because perhaps it needs certain game engine features before being worked on further (aero and grip related maybe, who knows)
I would be fine if 0.25 released with just the Covet remaster, it's needed one since it first came out anyway
Did anyone notice the side blinker in the new teaser? It's amazing that we will have an Euro-spec hatchback from the mid-80s/early 90s, since we all love these cars.
Yep! Finally, the all-red taillights made the rear of the car look boring imo, i'm sure it will look much better now
So, if they haven't approved any mod these days, does that mean the update will come out this week? or there some other reason they aren't approving mods?
Yep, it was the absolute first feature I noticed - and the Covet needed this badly since it can fit really well in the European market!
Just because there are holidays in EU - doesn't immediately discontinue work in US or Canada or other countries where there aren't any holidays currently. Them not putting mods up on the repository, to me is a sign the update will be here soon - or B, they have some management problems going on in the company. ^^ And I think it's very likely we'd see the update in a matter of a few days or a week or two considering it's been 6 months and 1 day since 0.24 came out.
unless they are useing the 2nd update when the bastion came. Then its about 5 months. We also have not seen the stable build or the Creator branch updated in some time. So i hope its this week or next. But its not looking good sadly.
