Update Speculation thread

That's probably it, the seat effects really caught my eye but there's nothing clearly different about the model.

 

Look at other vehicles windows, this is the same blue than ETK-K. Maybe the windows now have PBR.

 

A commenter on YT raised an interesting point, do you reckon the devs will also make more interactive interiors in this update? Or will they wait for each remaster to implement them?

 

the rear window looks to be shaped differently

 

I'm not sure about that (maybe but we have no proof). Because of many buttons in car are already in the controls.

 

That didn't stop the devs from adding triggers in the Scintilla and Stambecco

 

Looks like a pbr update to me, although the fluid reservoirs look to be a new color.

 

Most (all?) of the cars lately have had at least some triggers for the interior. Lights, Stambecco's drivetrain/TPMS, etc... It would be weird to see them not do that across the board; maybe not at the same time as the exterior doors though.

I'm hoping to see more of the newer features applied to the rest of the roster as well. For example, much of the roster doesn't have underglow. Not that everything should, but there are approproate vehicles still missing it.

 

Even if the teaser is just about old cars being updated to new features – aka interactive parts and bloom – I'm happy they are doing it. After all, even the oldest cars still don't stand out that much, and adding those small things will surely extend their lives in the current remaster gen.

Spoiler

The lack of PBR and bloom on Sunburst headlights is quite off-putting, more so given the fact that the rest of the car still holds up well.

 

Teaser Thursday?

 

i wish

 

I don't think, maybe just one per week and in one month we are going to have 2.

 

Yeah, two teasers a week doesn’t happen normally, only shortly before new updates

 

@CMDblocc Here's my old default I was talking about:

 

Edit: forget about it. I thought the K Series seats looked red but it was just too far away to catch the brown instantly.

Compared to:


Judging by modern standards, I'm not so sure any part of the sunburst really holds up that well (That being said it's still one of my favorite cars)

 

none of the cars are bad, they are just outdated

 

I mean, a good portion of this can be upgraded easily with better textures, and the bits that desperately need replacing wouldn't be that difficult to replace (i.e., the engine). I'm not saying it doesn't need a complete rework (like the "remaster" Covet had), what I'm saying is that with much less effort it could still pass as a decent remastered car (unlike Moonhawk, which looks dated even if you look at the bare chassis).

 

Sad Sunburst, Barstow, Miramar and I-Series noises

 

The Sunburst's one of very few cars that actually needs a full remaster, there's other issues like misaligned models (namely, how the door panels don't align with the interior), old ESC (besides the bugs, what's the point of drift mode on a 135hp, FWD, CVT economy car ), and some jbeam oddities (for example, grab this node with a small amount of force and watch most of the engine bay, and the driver's windshield wiper for some reason, spike and jiggle around):
