Update Speculation thread

Hopefully tomorrow's teaser will be about a new feature rather than a new car, because if somehow after all they've shown they still have another car to show us then I wouldn't understand lol

 

leeloo should have more feature-based teasers rather than all vehicle teasers

 

My bet is the next teaser will be a shot of a sign next to a highway. It will say “welcome to…” revealing the location of the new map. On the highway, a car, blurry from speed, will be in the background. This is a remastered K series.

That’s another possibility, I didn’t think of that. I could see dirt build up and scratches as a big possibility given the off road focused nature of the update.

 

very specific

 

Everyone's so surprised by how many new cars there are, but I'm not surprised at all.

Last year, we got 3 new cars (Wendover, Wigeon, and Bastion), and 5 remasters (LeGran, Pigeon, Pessima (Gen 2), H-Series and Bolide), for a total of 8 pieces of major vehicle content.

This year so far we've only gotten 1 new car (Scintilla) and 1 remaster (Covet).

We have currently seen 3 upcoming cars (Autobello Van, Truck, and ATV) and 1 possible remaster (K-Series), alongside the "SBR buggy" which I'm not sure how to classify, same with the Piccobuggy.

Combining all of those comes out to 6-8 pieces of major vehicle content depending on how you classify the buggies. Based on last year, another piece of vehicle content could happen for all we know, so I wouldn't rule it out just yet.

Why all of this at once, you might ask? I have two possible explanations. The first is that all of this upcoming content was intended to come out throughout the year but took longer than anticipated. Another is that they intentionally waited to drop a ton of content at once alongside the new map for more impact. Both are pretty reasonable in my eyes.

 

very good point, in a "standard year" we would have 3-4 new cars by this time but we have only had 1 new car and 1 remaster, the covet, and the scintilla.

 

i think you know too much about the teaser... suspicious

 

Leeloo nearly banned me because of my puns, so you really think she would trust me with info about an upcoming teaser?

 

i think your suspect but it's just my opinion (i hope you know its a joke)

 

Yeah I got it was a joke.

 

A Japanese Maverick/Ridgeline/Santa Cruz with a flat engine would be so cool

 

As far as new vehicles/other tube frame rigs go... Various community members speculted that the TRex buggy could be a class 1 or an ultra4. Whatever that buggy turns out to be, I think both of those are fair options to see and not unrealistic, both matching the "tube frame with off road bits bolted onto it" catagory.

 

Pretty sure the T-Rex buggy is just a crew cab variant of the C-major one

 

I'd love to see more of that Autobrickobello. Like maybe a different variant. Preferably on the new map in front of a distinctive enough landmark to identify its location

 

I know its no speculation but im really, really curious what awaits us tomorrow!

 

We all are!

 

i hope tomorrows teaser is dirt / scratches because they said something a while back about wanting to implement it, plus people are assuming it will be because of the new desert / offroading map and it would make sense because of the maps dusty dirty terrain

 

I would like to see a teaser demonstrating tyre thermals (that is, presuming, that they are actually going to be a part of 0.27). Perhaps a drag car spinning up the wheels before heading down the strip with a caption along the lines of "warming up"

 

beamng dev build be like

 

imagine somehow having access to qa_latest
