Update Speculation thread

WAIT IT RELEASED too bad i need to do school work

 

The JDM covet makes me super excited for a future 200bx remaster. I really hope we get a 180sx jdm influenced 200bx.

 

I missed the release? lol

 

downloading update

 

Theory for the next update (yes it was fast)

If this rail is no longer rusty, that maybe because these cranes, will become usable.

 

Damn didn't wanna spread shit this early but gotta agree with that

 

Back to speculation - next update will have tire thermals, fixed glass reflection, (Devs confirmed both of these as being a part of upcoming updates,) and a revamped K-series and possibly ETK800 as evidenced by the teased body kit.

 

Disappointed that there is no tire thermals added in this new update. Only thing that i was hyped about

 

What is this fixed glass reflection about?

 

Vindication!

Neat that we finally do have opening hoods. Also it is kinda funny that the opening hood was shown off in front of a gas station, like that teaser from two years ago that I overanalyzed.

 

West Coast USA had a LOT of building and structure updates in some areas.

 

Mind sharing them as before and after?

 

I think tdev mentioned that for 0.27

 

No. For .26. Was the main thing for me on this update.

 

Loving that I can get traffic of like 30 vehicles at smooth framerates now. On the level of what a lot of games do. Which now means Italy feels like Italy and there's a crash up ahead and the roads are fully packed with vehicles.

 

No, it does not

 

Definitely bummed at the lack of body styles for another remaster. Hopefully once the remasters are done they'll circle back and add some body styles. Gotta say though, the MR Covet homologation specials visually look great.

The biggest thing on my mind atm though is those tire props... I'd love to know the story behind those. Hopefully we can put those on the crawler superbuilds soon (if not already? Can't open up the update for myself atm). It is worth noting that it's been a long time since we've gotten a new heavyweight in game, so maybe there's some interesting plans for those.

More automotive related props would be great to see in the future. Engine block props would be really useful. Soap box car as well.

 

wait what the

 

Was the main thing for me as well, would put BeamNG on par with dedicated sim racing titles, would be HUGE for the game, feels like it was rushed a little, so they don't circle back to the 6 month schedule and leave us for such long periods again.


I'd like an explanation or another Q&A from the devs so we can ask these kinds of questions, Since it was clear that they were doing this already before 0.25, why wasn't it released? And why we got a sneak peek of the carrer mode instead? (since the carrer mode answer was made ambiguously to make us think the early version would come on 0.27?)
