Update Speculation thread

I mean, this isn't specifically physics, but I do genuinely enjoy those types of posts lol

ex;

 

that would be cool, but the live streams (although timezones) and it would just be ''WhaTs iN tHE nEexT uPd0T''

 

That'd be nice, sorry for any havoc or misuderstanding caused by dissapointment...

 

Yay

 

my disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined
not really, just feel like this was hyped up to be more than just a piece of concept art for a map we have already seen in game with a vehicle we're not getting (albeit i dont particularly care about)
oh well

 

-Bello Bus
-Argo-esque XTV
-Trophy Truck/T-Rex Buggy
-ATV(s?)
-K-Series remaster (possibly)
-Maybe something I've forgotten

So, that's like 6-7 new vehicles and a remaster, at least.

Yeah, and I wonder what brand they'd fall under. Maybe the new "FPU" brand that the XTV is under - Argo does make regular ATVs along with their amphibious ones.

Also, what engines would the new ATVs use? Maybe the new L3 sound is meant to be for them, and a little turbo-triple would be plenty of power for those things. The Polaris RZR Turbo R uses a turbocharged two-cylinder engine, and quite a few side-by-side ATVs, like the Argo Magnum, use single-cylinder engines, so this could also be a neat way to get a new engine type.

 

A post-update live stream would be the solution

 

Could be a racing start light. Makes sense with all the desert racing content and my speculation about the King of the Hammers location being inspiration for the map.

 

I knew that this would happen! It is pretty exciting to see the map getting into the spotlight of the teasers, as it was mostly ignored and not that discussed about as the vehicles. I know that concept art is not 100% accurate whatsoever to the final product, but the landscapes and dirt tracks look amazing and will be fun to navigate through.

My personal belief is that this teaser gives us a sneak peek about the map size of the area, and in fact, it might be even larger than Italy, which could impress many people with technical wonder regarding such large and detailed environments.

Nonetheless, I cannot wait to drive on this new map!

 

The concept art does look great, but does this mean the ATVs aren't coming?

Then why have the ATVs in the image if they're not going to be part of the game? There's plenty of other off-roaders already coming with this update - the Bello Bus, the trophy truck, the T-Rex buggy, etc. There's also quite a few off-roaders already in-game. Why show content which isn't coming?

AFAIK, showing off vehicles that aren't coming into the game in teasers hasn't been done before. If this is going to become normal, that's just...not going to be fun at all.

 

(dis iz joke)

 

I figured this would happen with the amount of teasers we've been getting. People start taking all the new information for granted and start complaining. Why cant we be stoked for a new map and several new vehicles? I agree that physics stuff would be awesome to see, but it's been said (I think in the beamng live stream they did) that they are actively working on physics stuff, but roadblocks appear that put development on hold.

Yeah, I know we're paying customers and we have the right to be critical/concerned with the game, but like come on it's not even been 3 months since the last update and we're likely to get more content than any other update

 

If I had to guess, I would say today's teaser was not what Leeloo had in mind thursday, but rather that something came up between then and now and this was one that would have been better than nothing. Though I would wonder if the ATVs will ever come, had they been planned at one point and canceled? Or delayed? Or transformed into something new?

Alternatively, it could be that we're loosing sight of the main point of the teaser - just how large the desert really is. If we assume that the art is basically true to the layout of the map, and combine that with the lack of visible cell tower (video), house/building (Autobella truck), and gas station, the map could be quite bigger than previously thought.

 

I am very excited about getting a new map and several new vehicles - I'm just confused as to why the teaser included content that we aren't getting. I'd love to have an official side-by-side, especially two of them - they'd be great fun to zip around in.

I don't mind that I was wrong with my ETK 800 remaster prediction - I expected to be wrong.

 

Tbh it would have been better to just replace that vehicle with something already in game Or just not include it all
this has been a bit of a disaster cause of it

 

Hypothetically, for the sake of the argument,
which vanilla chassis could be used to make a BRP Maverick and how could we convince the devs to make it
Also I wonder how similar the new map will be to the Sandy Mountains one, which was made by a dev as well if I recall correctly

 

That's a fair point, they could have used a vehicle they already teased

Tbh i think it would be best if we went back to teasers 1-3 times a month, as to not get people's hopes up on random things and make this whole mess happen

 

There are a lot of people moaning on here aren't there?

I'm happy waiting for the update, and am enjoying the teasers as they come.

I understand that concept art is just that. So I do not see it as anything else.

All previous updates have been excellent. I see no reason why this won't be.

There is already enough content in the game for me, so anything more is a bonus.
