Update Speculation thread

I’m leaning towards tomorrow because, as you said, this pretty much confirms everything. The devs also have a trend of releasing a teaser when the update is in the imminent future.

 

I agree 100%, there's a chance they'll show the new car just before the update, since they did with the Wendover and Wigeon, but apart from that I'm sure there won't be any more teasers

 

Is that the last Bone we have to chew off bevore the real delicious Meal comes on the table devs ?

 

Why are there still speculations on wheather the new car is coming in 0.24? it is coming as well as remastered h series and 2nd gen pessima, no doubt about that. Judging by the past everything they teased came in the following update + logically they wouldn't just keep showing us this and not release it - this will be a huge disappointment.

 

imagine people saying still it wont come

 

There's no way it's coming. 0% chance /s

OT: I agree. It seems unlikely that they'd tease something this hard that is not coming.

 

Car behind van giving me https://www.beamng.com/resources/etk-s-series.1747/ vibes....

 

I'm juste realising something : Leeloo put that teaser in #game-announcements on Discord.

This seems to be the first teaser to get here...

That's why I can think that the update could come in a really near future (tomorrow for example), because it was posted on a quite frequented place by the community : The official Discord

 

Oh shit the new car is behind the van look at the photo

 

honestly I think the update is a good chance tomorow or thursday reason is it gives the devs time to work on bug fixes witch is nice. but... it could be a bit more likely next week as it gives the "polish" to these items but it could even be later than that who knows we will have to wait and see.

 

I can attest to this, here in Florida the crown vics that are left, are mainly all community patrol volunteer cars from what I've seen at least.


So if the new car turns out to be a American sedan with a V8 (think dodge charger), the usual cop car in the game could be more up to date (since the Grand Marshal's build years are stated between 1990-1997, making the 1997 cars almost 25 years old).

 

I'm guessing most modern American police cars are either Chargers, The last-gen Taurus, or the Ford Explorer.

 

I went ahead and made a (hopefully incomplete) list of new parts shown on the H-series in the latest teaser.

 

i think that the h series shown in this teaser is probably an older generation like the 85 d series, the mystery machine one looked more in line with the 2000s roamer/d series and this one looks more in like with the 85 one so we might be getting 3 gens of it

 

My question for everyone speculating that the new car is Ibishu or Jargl, did the devs take into account the car's nationality when they captioned the first teaser with lyrics from the (heavily American) song Paradise City? Or was it just something they thought was cool?

At the time, I took it as referring to it being the all-American song for an All-American car, which is why I thought Moonhawk, in addition to the body lines looking similar.

With it being a modern sedan, it's hard to pinpoint where the car comes from due to most sedans taking inspiration from each other.

It makes sense to be a new Pessima because of the fact that it's coming alongside the remaster. It makes sense to be Bruckell because of the caption and character lines. It makes sense to be Civetta because of the curves and sportiness, that, to me, matches up to something like a Quattraporte.

Devs got me good. I'm stumped...

 

I agree with all of this except maybe soliad. soliad is the luxury brand of bruckell (kinda like gavril and burnside.) so it would make sense if soliad had fewer cars than bruckell

 

I completely agree with you there. While it would be nice to see it drop tomorrow, we likely won’t see this update for another few weeks. I’m digging the hi-top vanbus.

 

The main reason (I Think) the Wendover and Wigeon were released with vehicle remasters was simply because they shared a lot of components with them.

 

That makes sense in terms of it being developmental reasons - makes things easier for the devs, I'm just saying in terms of, like, "well, we're releasing a Pessima remaster, might as well do the new Pessima at the same time"

Because they're in the same line

 

And they share the same basic components (wheels, powertrains, suspension designs).
