Update Speculation thread

yeah the shadows look a bit darker, less blurry

 

Definitely looks better than the currect version but I can't point out exacly what changed.

 

My guess is PBR WCUSA if anything changed, signage looks better than it does now, but it might just be me. Don’t really think anything is changed though.

 

Nothing new, the map looks somewhat better but I can't really say what about it looks better

 

Looks exactly the same. Darker shadows (mostly SSAO) can be tweaked in photo mode in SSAO options to looks like on that photo.

 

Nah it's a pile of garbage


Tried myself on a recreation:

Nothing new on the map.

 

If the devs wanted to tease the Covet they'll at least make it recognizable, that's just a mush of pixels

 

it's looking more realistic, more natural

 

Tomorrow may or may not be teaser tuesday, it would be disappointing to go this long without seeing something new and shiny...

 

im blind or you guys came out of a metal hospital idk which one is right


i see nothing

 

But the SSAO does look better, i'm not sure you can achieve that even with the current photo mode options.

 

Guys easy, most of photos they post on social media are tweaked. Extra particles, fake blur or color tune it all have been done before. They ain't no stupid and use public version for those screen shots, unless they want to tease something, but then it's rather obvious.

 

Sure but it could also very well be an SSAO upgrade, it's not like it was a super complicated technology that could break the game.

 

Devs are very clearly trying to keep expectations low for 0.25, there have been things confirmed for 0.26 and 0.27 but almost nothing has been verified for the update that is supposedly in QA at this very moment besides the version number. It would not surprise me if 0.25 is purely engine and graphical updates, although the Covet remaster seems somewhat likely as well as it isn't a technical stretch. As for the supercar, again... there are almost certainly less visible improvements that need to be made to the engine before such a thing is feasible in BeamNG, including tire thermals which are confirmed for 0.26 at the moment. These bleeding-edge features could be work-in-progress, good enough to get the car in-game but not good enough to release just yet, so I would hold your horses on the Civetta if I were you. That would explain the scarcity of teasers, as it's kind of hard to take a screenshot of "boring" stuff like code refactoring or tire research.

 

the map looks the same

 

It is most probable that this updates contain the cover remaster but not the civetta, at least in what we have seen. Maybe they will manage to squeeze it in but i would prefer it to be well polished if that's the case.

 

I will say, though, if they're trying to clamp down expectations, they're doing a piss poor job at it considering the state of this thread. Would any devs or moderators care to put the rumor mill to rest before inflated expectations meet disappointing reality?

 

teaser?

 

we can now estimate that the name of the new civetta is 7 letters long, so the fulmine fits

 

OMG THE NEW CAR WILL HAVE A SPOILER
