Update Speculation thread

remember when tdev said that the graphic engine wasn't fast enought for VR support YET, it looks like we may see it soon (but not necessarily in this update) !

 

It looks like revamped commercial tire textures are underway. I'm excited, and wondering if this is the finished version, or if they're going to add some more sidewall information. Come to think of it, I think this is the first time we've seen non-printed tire lettering outside of some of the larger off-road tires.

I'm kind of surprised that we're not seeing more information like manufacturer's branding, indications of tubeless/tube type, radial construction, etc. on these tires considering that they're the only options for heavy vehicles and presumably have their own standalone textures. I think that's not feasible to do on passenger cars at the moment because several different sizes share the same textures (correct me if I'm wrong), but it might be possible here unless the team is planning some new tire styles for the T-series and Wentward.

 

Dropping the pigeon would make no sense. I don't see the logic in that.

 

Beautiful.

 

Bond Bug style,

CitiCar's wheel layout,

And a nod to the G-Wiz in the name, the way they can take an entire era or archetype and fit it into one car just makes me smile. And they do it for all of them.
I'm really glad they let loose with the styling, it looks sick.

 

Or tyre wearing?

The difference is SOOOOOOOOOOO visible! WOAH! *insert hype sounds*

Also the truck's textures are better (truck looks different)...maybe a T-series revamp?

 

It looks like the model quality itself is improved, some of the details differ in shape and size.

 

Beamng isn't supposed to be a perfect creation of real world vehicles, I would assume things like this are omitted for the same reason we don't have fuel doors.

Excuse me, what the f***? This looks amazing! Finally black is not almost like true black and these reflections! Whoa! Please show us some more sneak peeks! If the update will drop this month I will jsjsjsjjsjsiwkwjwjakkAkskswkwkssnnxndksk

I didn't even realize BeamNG looked like this until now. just_look_at_it.mp3

 

Summer updates almost always release in early August, going off of past years.

 

If the update does come soon, then RIP™ my laptop and pc.. lmao

 

Me too.

 

It is quite an impressive difference between these two, possible new shaders, as the lighting is different (even though we have had a change of these graphics recently), the new tire texture with writing on it made of the rubber, kinda like our consumer grade tires, the tires themselves show a little bit of wear, maybe we get an option to different wear levels or tire heat and wear are REALLY on the way, the chrome of the wheel is different, possible due to the different shader os something like thath, but the texture themselves haven't changed, but dang, this made me hyped, There was a Thread recently that some people discussed on the tires being too black, like brand new tires and only some offroad tires was different. but it seems like they are doing a gradual overhaul of the whole game, remastering older vehicles and adding all of these physics changes, it's going to look like a brand new game.

 

Yall believe me now hm? xD

 

The devs are back at it again, surprising us in the upcoming update! I knew that the devs were testing around with PBR in one of the posts in the developer sections, but I couldn't find it. However, they have been planning PBR and Vulkan since they posted this on 2016-06-10. Scroll down to where it says The Future and then you will find that the devs said that they would implement this in the future. Looks like that is becoming reality now.
