Update Speculation thread

The one in game and the teaser both look very similar, just with better textures

 

It's not, but the hype train was already rolling and the teasers seem to point to it being the sunburst.

 

I remember there was a mod for Sunburst rear doorcards and I never really got it. Are they not able to be removed or something?

 

This? https://www.beamng.com/resources/hirochi-sunburst-rear-right-door-card.8687/

 

They became almost iconic for their horrible quality to the point where somebody made it a prop.

 

hiddan
what hidden?
wha

 

That was a brilliant move to get some more hype. Love those types of sneak peeks

 

How about the new temporary barricades?

 

No one cares... About the Sunburst of course.
Everyone has been waiting for the new temporary barrier, Sunburst isn't cool like the barricade.

 

On the image we have of the rear door card, there is this cutout in the corner, which is not present on the 02-07 Impreza, which has frameless windows. It is present on the newer gen, where the window frame sits. The 08-14 WRX STI also has a similar brushed metal accent piece. Assuming it is the Sunburst, it would appear to be based on the newer 08-14 gen, which lines up with the existing model years for the Sunburst, 09-14.


(and it will probably keep the weird rear door handles)

 

J/Do you wish to die quickly or painlessly?

Those do look nice, and I recall the dev's showed us a stop strip they were working on...

 

It's not guaranteed, and no dev has announced it as such, but it is highly likely (at least, IMO) due to the reasons I outlined here. TL;DR: The Sunburst is known for its bad rear door cards, so this focus on the door card would make sense for a remaster tease. Honestly, this is a really clever way to hint at a Sunburst remaster without doing the usual "dark silhouette" images (like the BX remaster).

 

The seat textures are worse icl

 

I don't know what to tell you lol, I didn't make it

 

Still, the Vivace (and the FCV platform in general) is yet another car to feature transverse I4s powering the front wheels. And we have eight of those cars in BeamNG (nine if we consider the Tograc as a separate vehicle model entity and ten if we count the current form of the Sunburst in as well). And since the Sunburst is one of the vehicles most of us in here want to see remade, I think it is worth the wait if we're gonna see it with Flat-4s. Plus, IIRC, some devs also share the same opinion!
As for a Boxer Diesel, you just made me wonder about what sound files could do it justice. Maybe the Diesel I4 mixed with the gasoline F4?
If anything, the existing passenger car diesels (the 1.5/2.0 I4s of the Cherriers, the 2.0 I4/3.0 I6 of the modern ETKs and the 6.0 V8 of the Gavril BOF trucks) are really good representatives of their respective engine layouts.

 

no speaker lol. They always forget that. The new pessima doesn't have door speakers either, it used to but they removed it for the remaster for whatever reason, i doubt on purpose



dare i say it's bordering on literally unplayable

 

Also, the remastered K-Series has no hazard light switch. Before the remastering, it used to be next to the gauges and above the right spoke of the steering wheel. It's also got no cubby holes on the low parcel shelf behind the seats, now it's just a plain parcel shelf.

 

A diesel boxer doesn't sound all that different from a gas one, so it would probably only require minor tweaking.
Actually, talking about sound: a boxer doesn't sound all that different from a regular inline engine in the first place, do you think they're going to leave the current UEL rumbly sounds?

 

YEP, Boxer diesel sounds mostly like a petrol ( gas ) Engine, SO its possible

 

Its odd because the closest match to the teaser door is a 2011 Subaru Forester interior? But I can also see the Impreza interior similarities
