Update Speculation thread

ah, my mistake. thanks for telling me though, cause i would've totally assumed it was some kind of april fools thing

 

It was known that there will be a mattress even before the update, I posted a picture from the documentation here.

You can make configs hidden, but probably not whole vehicles.

I see that I am pretty lucky that I have never used the old editor and started with the new one

 

why would you want to disable an entire vehicle

huh
if only it was actually happening

 

Maybe its now a Pixar Cars actor

I would actually disagree. East Coast and/or the midwest have a small-town feel, which would make them better suited to the start of your archetypal rags-to-riches progression. Utah would be a viable starting point, too, but of the current maps I would choose Italy as the main late game setting. It's exotic, well-populated enough that it doesn't feel like the middle of nowhere, and is at least selectively affluent. It has a rich, storied car culture and is already well-established as a driving Mecca, something New England and the flyover states are not.

And while Career needn't be bound to real-world logic, the money needed to drive from state to state (like, say, Utah to East Coast) is a fraction of the money you'd need to fly overseas*. If the game started in Italy, you'd be bound to Italy until you gained enough cash to visit every other map, virtually all at once: starting in USA has a better sense of progression, given current map content.

*let alone to transport one or more vehicles between continents. Again, Career doesn't need to be uncompromisingly bound to real-world costs and logistics, but overseas travel should probably be limited until the career's second or third act.

 

Smiling pigeon.

 

The twitter thing was cute. I'll be surprised if someone doesn't turn it into a GIF and use it as an avatar or forum meme.

Jokes aside, I like the way those fancy chrome wheels look on the Pigeon. They look a little like they were robbed off of a hot dog cart, but if I was modifying a Pigeon-like vehicle IRL, I would probably start by seeing if I could find a hot dog cart with custom wheels.

 

MuYe would be happy

 

They have to be at least flirting with the idea of a Pigeon remaster, I'm sure it's not just a hilariously cruel joke, right?


....right?

 

Most vehicles before 2016 do need some sort of remaster, even the Barstow (could do with smaller bumpers and different grilles and lights for model years).

 

barrel skins

that´s it
that´s the speculation

I think we might get barrel skins because colorful barrels started appearing in maps

 

Colorful barrels first appeared in Small island IIRC and thats about one year ago. So not really recently

Although the barrel prop has much worse model than background barrels

 

Well, all of the original official vehicles have been completed.

for all new vehicles, we have no idea about what they will be or look like. This is exciting

 

I hope it will be something between 2000-2010. There is a gap between 2003 and 2008 that only recent D-series and Roamer facelifts occupied.
