Update Speculation thread

New pictures are cool, didn’t expect to see them. Good find. Kinda a baseless prediction on release but I’d say 1-2 weeks. I don’t see it happening tomorrow at all but I wouldn’t doubt that it’s coming soonish.

 

now we know for sure the touring car pessima isnt rwd

 

Leeloo's comment on the car/vanbus potentially changing prior to the update's release makes me think that we won't be getting the update this week. If the update were that close, I don't think that they would be making changes to content. I guess only time will tell.

 

GOOD! I'm happy they didn't add AWD to the Pessima, it's unrealistic.

 

It could just be more of a legal thing too, just covering themselves in case of a super last minute change. Potentially changing does not mean that it necessarily will change.

 

the new lighting looks amazing. the reflections in the asphalt + the way headlights affect their surroundings is a MASSIVE improvement to what we currently have. since we did see streetlights in the initial van trailer, perhaps we could be getting environmental/colored lighting on some maps? if not, all?

 

I notice a more aggressive bodykit on the 'new' Pessima, a new grille as well as reworked lights.
The red interior is barely noticeable from that light angle.
The steering wheel looks a bit different but the most notable difference is the chrome Ibishu badge on it. I guess it will be removable, just like in the more basic versions of the Bruckell LeGran. The gauges look sportier now.
These wheels look amazing on the car. I noticed that it's the LX V6 version and, for having this aggressive bodykit, it's probably the LX V6 Sport. I say "probably" because I see no 'Sport' decals/tags on the body, as would be the usual thing of Japanese cars of that era for signalling each version. I hope it's got some good upgrades to the V6 as well.

 

i'd say the banner is just to stop thousands of clueless people asking "how do i downlaod this?"

 

Shame. AWD would really be good to the 'new' Pessima.
Hope it's got the ESC at least. It's a mid-90s car after all and that's when the ESC started to be more popular either as standard or as optional equipment.

 

Aren't those new rims the old Sunburst rally rims?

 

If the skin uv changes which it probably will, then yes they will break, same with the pessima.

 

Definetly looks like a higher quality mesh and better materials, less glare too.

 

In all honesty about the new car, I still hope that it’s either an American modern muscle car or a Korean sports car under a new brand. We already have a bunch of Japanese cars so I don’t think we really need another one, but a Korean car would add diversity since we don’t have any in the vanilla game yet. It seems that many people think the new car looks either American or Korean, or possibly European (likely Swedish). That’s just my idea.

As to what the car could actually be… it could really be anything. Some other People have said it looks like every modern sedan in one, and to an extent I feel the same way. They are all so similar nowadays anyway. I guess we can only wait and see.

 

new car remind me of funny volvo. hope it's an original design though.

 

They may look like the Okudai TWE wheels but those have a bit thinner spokes and more rounded holes!

 

They do look pretty similar… it seems likely that they are getting remastered this update as I don’t see the devs adding two wheels that are so similar.

 

They indeed look similar. But I'm still not so sure about the TWEs being remastered, apart from the PBR integration obviously.

 

Speaking of which, any action there?

 

Yeah that’s fair enough. Looking at it again it is still somewhat different. One has triangular spokes and the others are rectangular.

Also the image is low quality so it’s hard to say but there might be an ibishu badge on them

 

They are new wheels, they're ibishu wheels and they have pretty different spokes from the TWE's
