Update Speculation thread

real and thats way to cheap only 20 euros and some bastards are still pirating the game

 

I almost wish they would have made it at least $50 on ps5 hell even raise it on pc. Nobody has ever increased the value of their product the way they have and they still always kept the price the same. There's never gonna be another moment in gaming like beamng man I'm so glad to be here lol.

 

I hope they increase the price once they think all the gameplay mechanics are complete. I can see why they don't want to go with a price that's too high for one of the first PS5 early access games.

Also, is the price confirmed? It's not on the PS store page.

 

Check development screens

 

So a price increase in 2039 or so.

 

I agree, but we don't know if some players don't want to buy it or have to pirate it because there parents don't want to buy the game or want to try the game before realizing it was a bad idea. I know that because that was my case, I wanted to try the game, then it was so good that I decided to buy it to support the devs. And I regretted to pirate it.
They should release a free demo version like they did before, but this time they should update it, they could let in the demo only freeroam, two maps (Gridmap V2 and Gridmap Pure) and one too three vehicles (Covet at least like the demo before, I-series and BX-series (like in career mode)). And when they leave the game, they could add a screen or a video promoting the full game.

 

tbh pirated version is a substitute for demo, you play for free and buy it if you want. Also updating pirated version is tedious, so that's one of motivators to buy it, at least at sales where it costs like a paid car mod

 

It can't, because you have access to all the content without paying, and there's always a risk to catch a virus.

 

All you have to do is either delete everything from the current folder and paste the new files in or you just make a new folder and extract everything there. The fact that settings and mods are all stored in the user folder means that you don't really have to carry anything over.

 

yeah, and also you need to have a 100 gigs of free space because the game is 50 gigs and the installer\archive is also 50, while on steam you just get a 2 gb update
--- Post updated ---

and so what?

that's the risk you're going to take if you don't want to pay

 

The pirated version can be useful to see if your PC can handle Beamng or not, to avoid wasting money on a game that you can't run. To me, that is the only valid reason to download a cracked version of the game

 

With Steam refunds you can do the same thing without being illegal lol.

 

Well, actually, you got a great point, I've never thought about that lol

 

I'll cross my fingers for the car crusher with you, mimolli. Honestly it's one of my favorite stupid-fun things in the game, sending old beaters in and watching them get folded up in slow-mo. Would be a real shame if 0.40's truck stuff arrived without it.

And yeah, a racing config for the truck would be hilarious. Someone's gotta make it eventually.

 

Wait I just fucking realized, none of the videos on PS5 have the car crusher in them, meaning what they showed us isnt the full update.

I am so happy the whole update wasn’t spoiled

 

There's gotta be some stuff we don't know of. I'm kind of wishing I didn't spoil the update for myself but oh well

 

Eh, it was somewhat unavoidable with how many CCs were making videos on it for me, especially people like Neil who I watch on a regular basis anyways. I figured I would at least see what was being shared. I’m absolutely sure there’s gonna be stuff we don’t know about yet, which I’m excited for. I’m also excited for 0.41 now, since we don’t exactly know what’s in store for that update yet

 

Just 90% of it.

I'm half joking, but damn, having such a loose review embargo meant that content creators were able to spoil basically everything weeks in advance.

Hopefully this was a one-off to "build hype" for the PS5 update, and they go back to less spoiler-y reviews.

 

We will find out how much they spoiled monday

 

Also:

I'm surprised that it's still that cheap on PS5 - I would've thought it'd be $30 or even $40, but I guess the devs would prefer outreach over profit per sale, which makes sense. They have the merch store for extra money-making opportunities.

That's my thinking, as well - it makes sense to build hype for the PS5 release, since they need to build an audience on that platform.
