Update Speculation thread

Also Nardo-Ring esque top speed ring

 

People speculating about a German map while the only thing I'm waiting for is the Industrial remaster.

 

same, the map would get alot of new stuff.

 

Its under renovation

 

the long wheelbase make this car one of the easiest to catch

 

I'd rather have remasters than maps for the time being, it's so refreshing seeing the old maps revamped and stuff. Also, remasters are a lil bit easier to make than a scratch map because the layout is already done. Sentence 2 would be pointless if they have already started a map secretly.

 

What? More maps mean more content and variety in the gameplay...

 

You can get more variety and gameplay through map remasters, too.

 

I'd rather what we have meet the quality par first.

 

I think i have a theory as to why the Devs hold back so much on multiple body styles, that in the end only add to the game and no one would bat an eye if every car had 73 different body styles. I think the reason why they are holding back so much is the vehicle selector. With the current style of vehicle selector you can only have so many body styles before it becomes impossible to find what you are looking for.
Which brings me to my theory, that when the selector is revamped, after the devs figure out a way to organize the cars better based on different body styles and years and such, we could definitively see those multiple body styles that have been hinted over the years but never actually confirmed. (Im looking at you, 800 Series Sedan)

 

Id say the same for a miramar coupe of some kind, tbh they could just use ninetynine's miramar z coupe because he is a developer now.

 

A better vehicle selector certainly would help matters.... right now a single car may end up taking up 3 spaces for manual, auto and DCT. And that is before you consider addons like sport and offroad.

 

We need something like this :
Chassis/Car > Body type (4 or 2 door for the Bluebuck, Hatchback or crossover for the FCV for example)> Pre-made config > Transmission and color

 

I think that model year will also likely be selectable, for the D-Series and possibly also the Pessima.

 

Trying to make a full list... feel free to add what I have forgotten:

Select vehicle
Vehicle Year/Generation
Body Type
Power source (Gasoline/Diesel/Electric)
Transmission type
Drivetrain type
Colour

Example Tograc 160Q (DCT)

FCV
2020 Model Year (does not appear as there is only one at the moment)
Crossover
Gasoline
DCT
4WD/AWD
Select Colour
Spawning....

 

then for the D/H/T series you also have frame length and tonnage configuration (15,25,35).

 

I got a similar but different idea:
Brand
Model
Year range/Generation
Body Style and Color (Think of it like the traditional car selector in Forza/GT)
Type of Fuel
Trims and variants
Transmission
Spawning.
-------------------------------------------------------------
So using your example with the Tograc 160Q
Brand: Cherrier
Model: Tograc
Year/Generation: 2020
Body Style: Crossover, Red
Type of Fuel: Gasoline
Variant/Trim: 160Q
Transmission: DCT/AWD (Here you can integrate both FWD and AWD variants)
As always remember that less is more. You cant have a maze of menus and selectors that people have to basically decipher every time they want a new car.
Also a functionality that could be added is both a frequently used section, and a favorites section, that helps people not need to go through the whole spawning process to get a car.

 

for something like a D series, I say you'd select something like:
Gavril D series
D25 (this locks out larger frame lengths if you select D15, for example)
1985 model
Long bed extended cab
v8 petrol 4wd (combined for simplicity's sake, why separate engine size and fuel type?)
fleet trim
Transmission

 

seems the Job for Ui designer is more important than we tought.

 

It's been 2 years since we had the UI - Sneak Peak posted on the Devblog. I wonder where they are with that in terms of progress..
That UI looked super cool, so I'm just wondering.
