Update Speculation thread

Skipped a beat

 

Since there seems to be a vehicle remaster each major update, what do you guys and gals think would be the most likely? I doubt the Pigeon as the Wigeon isn't even in game by the looks of it and I guess it shares a lot of parts like the Le Gran does with the Wendover "bendover".

I'm hopeful for more work on the Grand Marshall as it seems like work on that halted after the end of 2019 (outside of updated police skins).

 

Since it would make sense that PBR does not break old materials (to not break all mods) I think that they will release the update even if not everything is using PBR materials.
Then they are going to update everything over time.
So my guess would be that the update is near and we will get PBR for all or for most cars and the Gridmap remaster with PBR materials (and more stuff ofc but I'm just talking about PBR here).

 

Well actually Mitch said this

So it seems to be in game with wheels and enough jbeam work that a car can climb on it
So I'm still hopeful for a pigeon remaster

 

I HAVE THE FORMULA!
PBR stands for presumably re

i couldnt agree more!
The Grand Marshal isnt just halfway finished in terms of Content and Refurbishment

 

I think there's something that everybody forgot to say...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BEAMNG !

 

considering the wigeon would be quite structurally simple, i don't think the refinement phase would take as long as something like the vivace for example.
and plus, they don't necessarily have to wait for the models to be completely done to start on the jbeam, they could do them in tandem.
I'm placing my bet on the pigeon/wigeon being included in this update,

but I'm also questioning whether the bolide remaster will be in this as well.
on one hand, it was first shown off nearly a full 12 months ago, surely even if the scope of the project has drifted, the car could have been re-made from the ground up in this time.
on the other hand, the PBR Reveal trailer did show an existing bolide with updated materials, which suggests they're likely intending to ship 0.23 with the old bolide still.
but given the minimal effort to convert a vehicle's materials over (I'd imagine just re-baking some textures in blender and recolouring some existing ones to a set standard) this could simply be a quickly cooked up stop-gap measure in case it's not done on time.
at least that's what I'm hoping.

could you please stop making so many non-contributive posts? of the last 10 pages, an unreasonably large amount are just from you. calm down. go outside for a bit.

 

I think youre a month late

 

I also think that the Widgeon is just a variant of the Pigeon. Really different, but still a variant with some common components...

 

It could be a massive facelift...

 

Oh.
What a massive oversight of me.
Well technically it's the 6 years and a month birthday of beamng so my point stands.

 

This type of vehicle has a really long life span so the remaster will probably bring facelifted variants and some other stuff like the Widgeon

 

nadeox has publicly shown that PBR doesn't effect performance at all in another thread.

Edit: didn''t realise how many pages back this was lmao

 

My guess is that this update gets PBR and maybe some small pigeon updates? Like textures etc?

 

Maybe the Grand Marshal receives more overhaul over the more time consuming Bolide in this update if i remember correctly the GM Remaster was released as WIP
i would love to see more land yacht content

 

I mean theres already a fair share of boaty cars
burnside, marshal, bluebuck, Moonhawk and if youre generous some of the wendovers.

 

You right of course but my guess is that there will be a massive GM overhaul with an Facelift similiar to the last gen Crown Vic.
Too obvious i know but still will be cool as hell
i guess thats the reason they remastered it WIP

 

I wouldnt know about that

 

I would say most likely a h series remaster since they have been talking about this before.

 

That would be awesome there is desperate need of a passenger van
