Update Speculation thread

definitly not explorer, but still based on IRL

 

The new car is definitely implied to have an ICE as on the teaser there are little exhaust lines drawn.

If the new car is American, that also fills another major gap, being the lack of modern American cars (the newest currently is the facelift Roamer ending in 2005).

 

Yeah i know this is not the Ideas & Suggestions Thread but: since there is a gap in there plus this could fill yet another content gap i would dig an modern japanese 4WD since there is no and the game still needs alot of aftermarket 4WD parts.

 

I really hope and think the new car is a modern 4 door muscle car like a charger. Garvil Powr-cord helldog black eye wide body

 

optional 2-door bodystyle would be awesome too but it seems from the teaser it just wasn´t designed to be anything other than a 4-door

 

And from the back definitely not Land Cruiser 100!
Not to mention that the Roamer looks better than the Navigator because it doesn't have those stupid cheap glossy black plastics all over it, that make the Navigator look like it got the sealing treatment for submerging. And the Roamer's proportions in general look better than both the Navigator and the LC100 (I'd say it's closer in looks to the LC200, which is my favorite model - they both have similar proportions).
From the front, yep, the '99 Roamer is definitely a '99 GMC Yukon/Cadillac Escalade!

Speaking of... can you imagine a Burnside Full-Size SUV based on the '99 Roamer? Hmmmm...!

Where did you hear that?

 

There's always the possibility of a "sister car" being two doors and on a shorter wheelbase like the challenger is to the charger but using most of the same components, but there is no evidence of this happening as of now.

 

Following up on this, but it would technically be possible to do the same thing but with an SUV on a slightly modified and larger wheelbase like the Ford D3/D4 platform for the Taurus/Explorer respectively.

 

The vehicles are made and designed, to fit a certain time period with inspiration from models from that time.
They aren't made to look pretty, they are made to look realistic. Just like IRL, you see an ugly car now and then.

Eitherway, how something looks, is totally subjective anyway.
So I just think your criticism is uncalled for.

 

imo, beam cars take just as long as irl cars to make, (even if they arent lore friendly)
they've got to 3d model everything, make sounds/edit sounds, and make a custom jbeam for it, which is basically the hardest part.
i know the devs are basically insane (in a good way lol) people because of how good they make all the base game cars.
they are working on the pessima remaster, which will have more parts, so more jbeam, texturing and modelling work,
they are working on a new car (shown in teaser) which, is scratch made obviously, and most modders know how long it takes to make a base game quality mod. (for those who dont, it takes a LONG time)
The H series is also getting some new bits, so more modelling ,texturing and jibbim.
and on top of that, they're improving the game engine.
oh yea, who could forget the FRIDGE. that probably is the most difficult thing to make. (this is sarcasm )

 

anything beamng developers make is good. if you dont think that you arent a true beamng fan

 

that's called being a fanboy.

 

beamng stan

 

i ship covet and etk 800 omg they are so cute uwu omg!!!111!!

 

That would be amazing!

 

We are witnessing the birth of the Cherrier Vivace, circa 2019

The offspring of a Japanese hatch and a European luxury car

 

What in the holy hell Is this?

 

Devs obviously have sped up their 'project management' as they have tried to increase updates to 3 months, but then decided to leave it for 4 months with more content coming in. I believe they have re-managed their studio as they got many experience since beamng alpha launch.

 

Devs after being told that months worth of original design and modelling "looks like a naughty 3 year-old giggling about drawing on the wall"
