Update Speculation thread

Fridge confirm in Beem.NG

 

ok whoever put big chungus on the beam fridge needs to fess up

 

One question : do you think that the Fridge will become a bigger meme than the mattress or not ?

Btw, the update seems to be quite closer, I bet that it will be released in maximum a month

 

Nice, I can now die happy knowing that beamng has a big chungus reference in it

 

hmm just saw that gta vid, at least it looks better lol

OT: We have mattress, piano, so fridge confirmed for next update?

 

omg beamng.ice-cold-pepsi confirmed

 

Beamng.Ice_cold_TastiCola

 

Has anyone noticed the working street lamp behind it?
Maybe they're adding dynamic lighting for the maps Wich would be very cool

 

yup and the street lamp flares are also pretty minimal by the looks of it.. the flares in beam are kinda weird right now

 

I LOVE IT! I can't wait until it's in the game, so I can smash it with a Gavril T-Series, hahaha.

 

yes......that's rare that devs revealing two things at the same time, isn't it?
--- Post updated ---
then we can say(?) that the "bigger things" (in TDev's post) are the working lights on official map(s)!(???)

 

Iirc the street lights already work on Utah in most places since the remaster.

Overall the fridge looks nice (and crusty) but I'm skeptical on the big chungus sticker, iirc that's a still from a Warner brothers cartoon and I'd assume it's probably copyrighted. Would it be enforced, idk, but I'm still skeptical and it also just feels weird having a meme just kinda directly put into the game.

 

It couldn't get any more off-topic than that. If you like both games then play both games, ain't it simple?

 

Big chungus or no, I still hope they add the fridge in so as someone said earlier, we could smash into it with the T-series.

 

Can confirm that the street lighting in the picture is new as the only area lit up on Utah is the service station right now.
Also it looks far better than the lighting currently in game! (on ultra btw and of course the mattress was ideal)

 

my guess, they're reworking a lot of stuff in the engine, since PBR was implemented last update, theyre probably finishing all the lighting related stuff, including PBR'ing the maps.
hmm, maybe also implementing tire wear and stuff

 

well with the pessima stuff, the new car announcement and now the implication of working street lights i feel like we're in for either a very big update or a lot of upcoming updates

 

PBR actually makes a lot of sense. i'm not sure all the maps will be done, but, given the lamp itself, the much more natural looking light, and the caption for the new car's teaser, it's pretty obvious there are some map revisions going on (likely including WCUSA's traffic lights)

 

Plus they are probably planning to add traffic lights into more places, which could also mean the need for the new the lighting in the streets

 

The map this is on is Utah, and it is probably right near where the campground. This makes sense as Utah has the least light fixtures (currently non-functional) in the game. I don't know/care the order that this feature gets added to maps, but Italy will most likely be last. I find the fridge ironic, mainly because there is only one fridge mod for BeamNG, and it came from JsZ, who is now banned for stealing models and claiming them as his own.
