Update Speculation thread

damn
K.O.

 

Obviously unused files from something that was deleted wouldn't count but unused files from something that we haven't heard of or seen before such as a Legran wagon or D-Series facelift, that is something that should be speculated about

 

I definitely agree on the fact that it does get a bit ridiculous when it comes to using minor hidden files. But sometimes it does give us a window into what they are working on (like the hidden D Series Facelift parts when the Roamer facelift update came out), especially when it's stuff that hasn't been shared publicly.

 

why do you want derby to be bigger?

 

I would like it but this is Update Speculation

not Update Recommendation

 

Im 20% sure they will add more fun stuff (cheats) because the radial menu has been left untouched for a pretty long time. Next map remaster would be most likely Cliff or Derby arenas because they are literally abandoned since its release and Derby arenas has a somewhat poor optimization. Next car remaster would likely be the Bolide since its abandoned for years and there are some very minor hints about a remaster. Release will probably come sometime in late october- early december

 

Derby Arenas got remastered in 2019.

I think Cliff has gone through two major variations. Real OG's remember when it wasn't an Island.
I think Derby had a vegetation change sometime around 2015.

 

I think it just dumped your car's remains into the water in the early versions, right?

 

I forgot about that! The earlier versions of the game seem like caveman stuff compared to the newer versions. The engine sounds, the un-tweaked car bodies, the crashing sounds, Dry Rock Island, the pre-remastered UI, the pre-remastered vehicles, the Bolide carts (which were basically Bolides without a body), the tire squeals, and the dealership preview photos. Only true OGs remember all of those.

 

Yeah. But I have always wondered what BeamNG would've been like if it had stayed on the CryEngine3 path...
I have no doubt that it would be good, but still.

Back to speculation, what has everyone found that is new so far?

Found this in BeamNG.tech documentation, think it'll make it's way into BeamNG.drive anytime soon?

 

Only real OG's remember when the vehicle selector was just a drop down selector menu by pressing Ctrl+E

 

yes
Oh Oh I do I do

 

That's what I meant, the drop-down menu where you would pick the car, and then the version. I think there was one that you activated with the spacebar, and then the previous version of the current UI, where the selector just looked a little different. I was cheap, so I used the tech-demo version that allowed you to pick out multiple D-Series versions instead of the one Covet version in the next tech demo.

 

Real OG's remember when you had to open the game's files and modify them if you wanted a custom car color.

 

Remember the terrible optimization? I had a decent PC at the time and the game ran at like 24 fps lol
