Update Speculation thread

mine halfs :/ i get real bad lag

 

Wait till bro finds out about 0.24 and 0.24.1

 

Here’s why (I think) we might get a remaster soon:

• No new mods today
• It’s been 2 months since 0.31, which would break the cycle if it was a major update
• Can’t be a teaser as it’s Wednesday
• Sunburst remaster has been wanted by many people
• 0.30.3 was released a couple days ago

I think this may be 0.31.4, like with the Bastion. Please don’t scream at me for this okay

no devs, I-SERIES not sunburst!

 

There’s not been a teaser bruh we can’t just imagine stuff up

 

I've just checked it, if you open parts selector, there is a setting at the bottom to "Include auxiliary debug content", check it and this dynamic textures option will be there
Maybe it will add additional layer where scratches and dirt will be dynamically generated

 

What if it’s just the current decal editor

 

But it's just for making skins basically, not something dynamic

 

So, after going through each publicly available day of each update, I arrive at this:
# 13 updates happened on monday
# 26 updates happened on tuesday
# 26 updates happened on wednesday
# 28 updates happened on thursday
# 33 updates happened on friday
# 6 updates happened on saturday
# 3 updates happened on sunday
# ----------------------------
# 135 updates total
# 49 days since the last major update
# Average time between updates: 115 days
# Expected update date: 2024-04-07 (66 days till update)

Back then, weekend updates were a thing

 

I feel like 0.32 will have something to do with JDM, as I've seen a lot of demand for that segment recently.
Specifically either the Miramar or 200BX, though my money is in the latter since it seems to be one of the more fanboyed vehicles in the game. Oh, and of course the Pessimas are also contenders - they'll likely be remastered within the same update as each other if this is the case.

 

I had a little feeling too we were getting some sort of in-line 6 cyl jdm coupe too…

 

I think it may be to soon for the Update to be near. However it should come march. ( ar around there )

I think the Sunburst has not even gotten a PBR ( while most other cars have )
its engine is also the most dated. as in Inside.

I would love a hatch and small FWD eco coupe. ( God i miss Small FWD Eco coupes anyone agree with me ? )

While it is still fun to use it would i think be next ?

Next is the Burnside. Its engine is dated but its ok. BUT there is not much to do with it.
I know it has the Chop chop version. BUT it feels unloved and lacking.

I-series holds up mostly well and has some work done last few updates. Same for Moonhawk,


SO if i had to place a bet i would say Sunburst is going to get updated,


IF so will it get a boxter engine and a little FWD coupe ( damm a AWD Flat 4 coupe sounding very Hot and fun now. )

 

Skyline equivalent...?

 

So do you have anything else to do other than get aggressive on Internet forums and still complain about it?

 

I think dynamic decals are also used for unpainted parts (in career mode)(cant confirm), and will probably get developed down the road for dirt, scratches and such.
Also, v0.31 dropped 14th December, which was 1 month ago* (especially if you add up the holidays), so they still need a bit time, they have been updating the qa_latest tho (could be another patch, or the next update). I also dont think new mods has anything to do with the progress of the update, they could just be working on the backend (so they either couldnt accept new mods or were busy with that)

 

For some reason I want a 3 wheeled sunburst, with one wheel in the back, like a Polaris Slingshot. Although if they did that it’d probably be a separate vehicle

 

The 90s Pessima was remastered in 0.24

 

Unfortunately i think the I-Series will be one of the last remasters as there don´t seem to vast interest in it as with vehicles like the Sunburst or Moonhawk for example.
Understandable of course but i would love to see the I-Series remastered soon too but in the end popularity will decide the remaster cycle.

 

Judging by his comment history he professions at being a salty sea snail.

Looks like we’re seeing some similarities with the devs mentioning an inverted AO layer (honestly not sure on what AO stands for) to add to dynamic dirt, along with the video you found. I’m curious as to how long ago the dynamic dirt system had been mentioned since the devs mentioned putting it on the back burner a few months ago due to time requirements.
