Update Speculation thread

Anyone eslse find it how almost all recent updates came out on the day a GTA Online DLC came out? Either way, I know which game I'm going to play for the next two weeks (also why is the facelift Miramar so happy? Is he stupid? He is not a Twingo or Miata)

 

MOONHAWK REMASTER ALL THE WAY! This car is just outdated and BeamNG has barely touched it.

 

I think the UI updates and refreshes of older (game wise) cars point to something. Why would you want to get everything streamlined and up to date in an early access game?
Maybe a 1.0 release?? We'll see

 

There is now a "limo" folder in the common folder, which only contains textures.


Here are the base color maps for the 3 materials.
Materials Names
limo_interior
limo_interior_on
limo_interior_assets
limo_interior_assets_alpha
limo_interior_lights
limo_interior_lights_on
limo_interior_tv_dmg

 

hopper remake

 

def either a ETK I-Series (judging by the car phone, perhaps an BMW 7-Series or other German LWB sedan) or Moonhawk limo (perhaps turned into a GM product line, such as Oldsmobile or Cadillac-esque cars using Moonhawk platform). Perhaps drinks are also avilable due to the Tasticola texture.

 

Thanks so much for all the love everyone, Feeling better ( not 100% ) then yesterday,

LOVE LOVE LOVE the burnside. BUT this little coupe. and other miramar is just stunning, first bench seat unibody car ,

a Mini Holden ( best thing we get to a classic holden/falcon )

 

I am so happy to finally have a ute in the game, and it's also quite good for drifting which is truly amazing for me!

 

Grand marshal remaster with stretch limo configuration confirmed….

….Party bus with dance pole confirmed…

 

Roamer based on the Hummer h2 limo confirmed

 

This has to be a Gavril Grand Marshall config coming soon for the future. I feel like the Grand Marshall will get this time a remake but remember, this is just a theory.

 

BMW 7 Series pleasssseeeeee.

 

interesting. considering these are in common, it's likely they're planning on making limos out of multiple vehicles.

I've put them in blender (scaled relative to each other) with all of the assorted roughness/normal/etc. maps, screenshotted at a funny angle so you can see some of the glossiness of the materials:

It looks like limo_interior has seats, armrests, possibly some cabinetry for a bar, a TV and remote, and "fresh tasti juice".
limo_interior_assets looks to be mostly a tasticola bottle, note that the whole bottom left is a translucent glass texture. could this be a drinks dispenser?
on limo_interior_lights, there are CRT screen lines surrounding the beamNG logo puzzle thing, so I suspect this is a TV screen.

And here's the same textures with the background lights off, so you can see the glowmaps:


Whatever we're looking at is likely for 80s/90s cars, definitely not a moonhawk.

The most obvious cars I think this fits are the wendover, grand marshal, and roamer.
The grand marshal is particularly notable; people have been requesting a "phase 2" grand marshal remaster for a long time.
However, Caprice and Crown Vic limos don't seem to be that common, they're mostly made of Fleetwoods and Town Cars.

Last time the Grand Marshal got a remaster, it was done alongside the release of the bluebuck, and addded configs to match like the roadsport.
Considering they've just remastered the burnside and added more variety to the configs, could it be possible the Grand Marshal "phase 2" remaster is underway, and it's getting a Burnside variant?

 

i think its a easter egg or a teaser and i have another interesing thing to say:

 

uhh
it kind of embeded it, so it shows the thumbnail, sorry, better luck next time

 

i tried atleast

 

I missed a lot
--- Post updated ---

I would love more differentiation between the sounds of different engines of thr same layout. Its barely there now.

 

After seeing the Miramar get a fuel door, I wondered if the developers would start adding fuel door doors to all their cars.

 

considering we don't really need another variant of the modern ETK platform, much less a slightly older one than shares few parts, a Swedish or Italian crossover might be the way to go here. An Infiniti FX thing could work too, or even a wildcard Soliad.

 

probably they will
i hope they make them openable eventually
