Update Speculation thread

I'm honestly glad we are getting a carnew modern as the modern car selection is quite lacking. The only other "affordable" and "common" modern car is the sunburst. It will also make modern traffic simulation a lot better.

 

Can't wait for the Gavril D-Series Phase 2 "D-Series Rock Crawler"

 

Totally agree. Just look how boring all of these cars look!

 

I honestly didn't know what those things sticking out of the bonnet were, i had just noticed them and gone hm, engine stuff, but when i see it from that angle i realise it's part of the suspension. That is proper badass-looking.

 

It doesn't help that anytime anyone has anything other than praise they get jumped. Yes it is odd to be wanting a sedan version of this car, but I wouldn't call it ungrateful to want an alternate body style.

 

Idk man that rear window looks a bit off to me

 

I wasn't necessarily replying to him as much as I was replying to everyone, I forgot to put a line in between because enormous brain.
I was kind of more commenting on @Nathan24™ being a whiny little snot because his favowite caw wasn't added into the game.

 

Night lighting may be on the horizon (they gave it to Utah), but I don't see interiors happening until some serious optimizations happen.

----edit----

I'll probably regret chiming in on this: I also think that classics have far more variety than modern cars. But there's a bias there: 'modern' only covers the last 10 or so years of automotive history and speculates on the next 2-3, offering at most two or three generations of each model. 'Classic' cars cover a span of ~50 years if we're being generous, and that includes several full model lines, and even now-defunct brands or styles. The fairer statement would be to choose a 5-10 year span you believe had a better variety than our current 5-10 year span, and make your case there (it would still be opinion vs opinion, but it would be fairer).

 

Yeah, i see. Is this better?

 

Nate is the only one I've seen here be ungrateful. Yes it is odd that he is so hostile towards this, but he is the exception. Now compare that to the number of comments being made in the past 2 pages saying how ungrateful people are and acting like there's no excitement for the new car when we made like 10 pages of posts in the 8 hours since the teaser, almost all of which was on the new car until the most recent 2 or so.

Then there was the eSBR where one person got admittedly a little too enthusiastic in pointing out that the car has more "near future" battery tech than "2019 production" tech and that turned the entire thread into a disaster.

Then there was the Autobello where some people gave constructive criticism and half the forum gets triggered claiming that people who just want the game to improve are actually the least grateful in the community compared to those who don't care about the details.

Then there's the fact that even a factual observation of car design or culture will get half the forum to assume you hate everything made after 1985.

The "lets say everyone else is ungrateful and a 'boomer" culture on this forum is really getting on my nerves.

 

Ah, the good old indicator fiasco.

 

Do I want to know?

 

Just going to chime in here to say that the interraction between the two r's of the new logo reminded me of the herringbone gear origin of Citroen's logo.

Just in case that was a conscious decision, and if the new car also turns out to be french then I want the developer responsible to feel validated for their effort here.

 

The Autobello had details that made it not actually street legal historically. Multiple issues, but the blinkers is what everyone remembers. Some people wanted their 1950's Italian car in this realistic game to be, well, historically accurate. Part of simulating cars is the laws that made those cars how they were. Other's saw them as pedantic and ungrateful and a multi-month long fight ensued.

 

Which ended up delaying the Piccolina.

 

That's a hoes mad moment right there.

 

They were minor issues which should not take 3 months to fix. Italy was delayed and they probably held off on the Piccobello to release them together.

 

dead meme
and frankly why is this whole argument still going on

can we go back on topic now

 

Here's something for you, here's a parody of "Generic song" by Doug Walker which is about cars.

Here's our generic car
It looks like hundreds of other cars
Things are always bland in this car
That's why no one remembers it
Generic car
Generic car
Some guy came up with it in his sleep
Generic car
Generic car
It shuts up your kids so you can't complain

I actually kind of agree with Nathan24 TM on the old car stuff believe or not.

 

I can't believe I have to explain this. Something tells me you never heard this figure of speech before.

Can you blame him though? I know I certainly can't. Chuck absolutely hates electric vehicles for some pretty stupid reasons. He has a decent track record of leaving me absolutely appalled with some of the things he runs his mouth about, or in this case, the computer equivalent of "running your mouth." I won't pretend that electric vehicles are flawless and infallible, but they are definitely not as bad as he makes them out to be.

Did you get the right cars? Those all look, well, not boring.

The Renault Alpine A110 is my favorite of the bunch. Absolutely adore that car's design.

That sounds great. Belasco City looks really weird at night without any lights on. Like if there was a citywide power outage going on.

Honestly, I don't remember having any problem with the people who brought it up. If it made the Piccolina any better, I was all for it. A little historical accuracy can go a long way.

It's stupid it had to escalate into said multi-month long fight.
