Update Speculation thread

Well, considering he had multiple vehicles to do, I wouldn't be surprised there isn't as many updates compared to others.

 

I think it’s more an issue of not delivering anticipated and promised content than work already put into them. For all we know, nothing even got past the basic stages. The team is always very careful about not promising things they aren’t sure they can deliver, the fact that these were intended even way back then is enough for me to be confident they will come some day.

 

Well, considering about almost every vehicle in the official content forum did release, I wouldn't be surprised if they get reworked, and one day be released.

 

I have this though of Gabe's injury preventing him to work on his designs, other vehicle artists creating new designs with his help and these old designs being replaced with new ones.

After all, game was supposed to be demolition derby oriented, but it did grow out from that, adapting concept to current market and resources or something like that.

It could of been a surprise even for devs how well off-roading works in BeamNG, but now there is Hopper in game.

 

Then again, we have no confirmation if the original Wendover and Bluebuck were canned or not.

 

Although in a way correct, Nadeox did say “until it’s time to discuss this again” when he locked the Bluebuck thread, which wouldn’t make sense to say if they got canceled.

Before anyone says “well the wendover thread was deleted”. Forum bug, it wasn’t the only thread to get deleted.

 

Yeah, that's why I had doubts about it being binned.

 

Also Bluebuck thread got locked as there is no need to discuss it, so until something new surfaces there is not much point bringing up it, for me it still could be something that is dead or at least moved to back of the everything and probably won't come to game until close to final content additions if even then.

 

On the Bluebuck and Wendover situation .

Gabester likely wants to do them himself. After the fiasco with the LeGran, I can understand. They are not dead, just on hold.

The Bluebuck will come before the Wendover, and gabester said that the Wendover will use engines from the Bruckell LaGran soon after the release of said vehicle . Those two cars are not dead, just on hold.

 

They probably could come after the firetruck.

 

Update on Gabester's condition?


Where was the release date confirmed to be the 13th? I must have missed it.

 

Nadeox1 said a while back that he is providing input, but not fully working yet.

It is only some 112 posts ago, which in this thread is just recently

Update: it is also in devblog https://blog.beamng.com/blog/ post dated 15th has last line as:
"Keep an eye out for a joint release from BeamNG.drive and Automation on July 13th. The cross promotional sale starts then!"

 

This for people who can't get what they want... look at a post #11637

 

I know one thing, if the Bluebuck and the Wendover ends up cancelled, I will not be a happy man.

I do fear the possibility, since the Bluebuck's thread has been locked since March, the Wendover never got a new one, people has complained about the Wendover's existence, and Gabester has been dead silent about his condition, and he rarely posts anymore. So, the Bluebuck and Wendover being cancelled is very much possible, and if it does happen, like I said, I won't be happy.

 

I am quite sure that they have not been cancelled. It is just so that Gabester really just hasn't been able to work on the two cars and so there isn't any news to post about them either. I mean he or someone for him could update their status but I would not worry so much about Gabester scrapping them. He isn't known to be someone that lets his work be influenced by others, just look at the SBR4: He got massive amounts of negative feedback for it but he did not give up and in the end convinced (nearly) everyone to really like the car.
And for the models not being as detailed- the two only pictures we have seen of the two are only concepts and do not represent the finished version at all. They're just depictions of the body shell, how it is going to look.
So you shouldn't worry about cars being scrapped to make "room" for others.

 

Hopefully that will be the case.

 

You've been able to do that ever since it was there.
