Update Speculation thread

and the impliance of existance of bruckell piglins, this also implies the existance of bruckell hoglins
OT:
I personally think the teaser we got is just a trackday/barebones race variant made out of a base model, it will probably have some alt fascias for more luxury/sporty variants

 

I think the teaser is the Hellcat/Demon equivalent

 

I don't think so, you can see a roll cage in the center of the interior.

 

i dont think so, there are race seats and a rollcage if you look closer into the interior

 

It's clearly a track version, or at least a trackday config

 

Well that's what the Demon is. It's a car built for the drag strip made street legal. Doesn't even have a passenger seat.

 

Yes, I have used it, it is not useful at the moment, its a cool idea, but as the game literally doesnt have a career mode, its not useful. Yes I literally said the 2 remasters are cool but thats about the only useful content in 6 months, a new car and remaster.
Look im not arguing anymore, I was stating my opinion about the update and giving constructive criticisms.

 

the passenger seat is a $1 option iirc lol

 

I think the new car will most likely drop next week. I don't see it being the week after as it's too close to Christmas so the devs will probably want a break for the holidays.

 

They said before the holidays

 

It's also baffling how a DOHC 2.7 has the same sound as a pushrod 3.8. I can't really comment on the accuracy of the DOHC 2.7 sound, but I can certainly say that a pushrod 3.8 sounds absolutely nothing like they do in the game at all. They have a deeper and "cleaner" tone, but get very trumpet-y at higher RPMs if they aren't muffled.

 

For 0.25 that'll come out in 2022, I really really hope for a night and weather remaster because god damn the current night looks... Not good, it's basically a dark filter

 

Yeah, especially now we have fancy neons to play around with.
Day/Nightcycle needs heavy work. Especially night.

Yeah, evening seems too dark and night is too bright at a certain hour because the moon is like an overhead street light. It would also be good to see shadows disappear when the cloud cover is increased as well as the level getting darker because the clouds are blocking the sunlight. And also varying thickness, grayness, light gradient from various parts of the clouds to simulate an incoming storm, being able to layer clouds to simulate two systems colliding, and also not being able to see the sun behind the clouds when there is cloud cover.

 

My predictions (ok, not predictions, hopes) for the variants of the Bastion

S - Boring base model, nothing fancy, 3.5 v6, 8 speed auto and 6 speed manual
SX - slightly fancier, same engine, 8 speed auto and 6 speed manual
SL - Luxury variant, with all the fancy bells and whistles and the base v6, 8 speed auto
BST- sport line v6, with a BRT (bruckell racing technology) body kit and slightly more horsepower, 8 speed auto and 6 speed manual
BSTX - sport v6, same as previous but with sportier suspension and a slightly larger v6 (3.7) 6 speed manual

R - base v8 model, the s variant with a 5.7 v8 and a sporty -ish body kit 6 speed manual and sport- tuned 8 speed auto
RX - same as previous but slightly fancier
RSS - for lack of a better description, think scat pack charger, 6 speed manual

Here things get fun

BRT - 6.3 liter v8, NA, same body kit as the BST. 6 speed manual and 8 speed auto
BRT Bulldog- supercharger thrown onto the BRT. widebody version available. 8 speed auto
BRT Track Special - 5.5 twin turbo v8 with a flat plane crank developed in partnership with etk, as well as a chassis tuned for handling. only 125 made. 7 speed dct
BRT Angel- you get what the name is referencing... right? 8 speed auto

And some aftermarket support
Track day - a R with a fair share of modifications, still street legal
Race - what we saw teased, modified bulldog.
Drag- Bulldog with a stage 4, blower supercharger and the usual drag goodies
Street Tuned - sort of like what’s pictured below, based on the R with an aftermarket exhaust an intake
Drift - an unusual drift car, a rebuilt salvaged BST with a single turbo and the usual drift goodies


And some service vehicles…
Police - lightly modified R with police goodies
Police Interceptor - BRT with police goodies
(Belasco City and Firwood variants of both)
Rental - base model with steel wheels and only available in white and black
Detective special - undercover police variant

Anything else, just say. If you think that any of these are unrealistic, don’t tell me, I’m aware.
No AWD because every car in beam has one major weakness and RWD only is this one’s.
Please like, I spent waaaaaaaaaaaay too long on this.
All edits are just changing the names and adding a few details to the descriptions

 

The GM 3.8 V6 IRL also sounds a bit rough with the muffler on. And I guess the 3.3 V6 is somewhere in between.
So we're only left with the 2.7 V6 of the Pessima. Dunno, this sound is nice and smooth throughout the rev band and suits the V6 Pessima well. It even has some Honda C30A notes above 7000rpm, according to my ears at least.
And I love the loudness of it when the muffler is out! Above 5000rpm, the C30A hints become even more intense without the muffler, it's like the engine has VTEC or something like that!

 

if the Bulldog is the Hellcat, then the Angel is the Demon

 

the new content they're planning is cool but i'm just hoping for AMD optimisation soon because the performance is just painful rn

 

I haven't had a chance to listen to a GM 3800 in-person, but my car has the Chrysler EGH and I wouldn't describe it as "rough"

With a muffler delete, it has an incredibly aggressive idle (but then again, everything with a straight pipe does) and makes an awful "puttering" sound when you are just cruising along
