Update Speculation thread

Not a chance in the world IMHO

 

Why would they choose to make it multiplayer only? Even if they did -which they won't- you would just make your own private server. But that's not going to happen.

 

Guys, multiplayer is NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. BeamMP already exists if you want it. Also, the BeamNG devs basically said that it is too much work, so they won't make an official multiplayer mode for the foreseeable future. Let's move on, please.

 

Lets hope they will put the new car together with both remasters which isn´t anywhere near confirmed to this point that everything we saw will get in the next bigger update together.

 

They have to make the game run well on AMD systems normally first before even touching FSR.

 

Yeah, so probably not on this update then, as they only realized this instability like, last week, so what other feature may come?

 

Probably more skins, and configurations... or even bodies !

I mean, some cars need new bodies ; for the older, they can wait their remaster (devs could wait for the ETK I-series to make a wagon body for example), but for the more recent ones, like the Vivace (also an example), they won't remaster a quite brand new car : it's only 1.5 yo and DOESN'T need any remaster, just some features added, like a wwagon body for example

That's the same for motorisations : there's a possiblility for the new car to have some kind of hybrid powertrain, and if it's possible to have a vanilla hybrid system to the game, other cars would use it (I think again about the Vivace). And the last car to be remastered, (Pigeon) could also have an electric motor

Then for maps, a remaster is always possible for cliffs/Germany, probably some new places added to WCUSA, maybe a brand new map (who knows ?) (but that last point would make the update more massive than it already seems to be)

We can also hope for new scenarios, or remasters of the existing ones

And don't forget hypothetical AI or UI improvement (but I'm not really into this stuff so I won't open my mouth here in order not to say something wrong )


Note : When I read my text, some stuff I wrote could sound like ideas. THESE AREN'T IDEAS, just some stuff that COULD be added to the game for the next update

 

The FCVs certainly need the latest technologies in differentials. The Sport, Torque Vectoring and Active/Electronically Locking diffs can really make the difference in dynamic characteristics!

 

These kind of things is always what we expect, they are remastering the cars one by one (in this update 2 on one go)

Could be a Hybrid System, as it is a thing we don't have for now.

New map or a remastered old one is still on the table

Maybe it could be the UI improvement that was left behind some time ago.

Anyways, I'm HYPED for this update, always love to read the devblog after an update and this one might be a big one.

 

Waiting for AI improvements for every version. AI still no "Intelligence" at all. It's major weakness of the game for me. Absence of the IRL interaction feelings. AI has no improvements for ages (I suppose nobody develop it, really).

 

while i agree with that, look at autonomous vehicles and how long it takes to develop an ai that can control a vehicle properly.
tesla has gone a long way since it first started and its still got a very long way to go if we want it to start racing on tracks completely autonomous.

while in 2013 at first i though to myself the devs can do this its easy and simple. well i was stupid and young. also didnt know as much as i do now haha xD
but now that i think about it, im afraid that creating a very good racing ai for beamng will be the challenge of the decade, and if beamng manages to pull this off, there will be so many other companies researching this and how its done/made and all the goodie bits.

but also, keep in mind, this is mostly personal opinion with observation over the years. if someone who works in the ai domain could pitch in a few words and officialize stuff it would be better.

 

Are we forgetting what we (or some people) already know about multiplayer...? I'm going to leave it at that, but my speculation is that we will get it eventually.

 

As I said before, it is coming, but not now, the game itself isn't polished enough, MP would make it even more hard on the devs, the mod does it as well as it can do so, and it isn't much, but it is an alternative for now, I really hope it isn't coming soon, but one day it will come

 

I agree, I should have been more clear. My message was more directed at those flat-out denying the possibility of multiplayer's addition.

 

I'm not speaking about racing AI (because BMG was not even designed as pure race game (and so many more popular titles there as race games)) but about regular car's AI. It's still very rudemintal. From initial vehicle speed at spawn to behavior at the lanes and no primary "brains" to TRY drive around. Its limitations very disappointment speaking of the game's nature.

 

I don't know what you're talking about. I was doing the Garage To Garage Delivery scenario the other day and the AI was perfectly imitating Italian drivers, blocking the left lane on the highway and cutting across to take an exit, pulling out of an intersection at the wrong time and getting T-boned, ignoring yield signs... all it needs is some AI randomly driving over the speed limit and overtaking, and it's basically perfect

 

Don't forget randomly coming to a complete stop in the middle of the road for no reason.

 

and doing a 180 to go the opposite direction on the highway.... in the same lane as you.. lol

Ok let's recap what has been teased so far.
Sep 29, 2021: New car that looks to be a RWD Sedan of some sort.
Oct 13, 2021: Pessima BTCC race car (most likely a part of a remaster)
Oct 23, 2021: Refrigerator prop that looks to be from around the 1980's. Would be fun to smash into.
Nov 3, 2021: Mystery Machine inspired H Series (a part of the H Series Remaster)

So I'm hopeful for either an ingame screenshot of the new car, a major gameplay or graphical addition, or a map remaster/content update as the next teaser.
Look to be close to a mid November release which would be in a fortnight or so.

If there's anything i'm missing (with proof) please mention it to me.
