Update Speculation thread

Okay for the release date, I do hope for tomorrow, and I think that it could really be possible.

The van looks really, REALLY nice. I think that the side doors will be openable, and maybe will be see some moving roof like a Westfalia ?

The new car is sick with those headlights, but I'm just thinking : couldn't it be a facelift of the teaser car ?
Like the first car we saw was from 2017/2018, and in 2021/2022 the brand just put some better headlights on and some other improvements.
Anyway, I'm a bit confused now. Those new headlights doesn't look very American or English to me but nothing is impossible. The fact that it could be a Japanese car is actually possible. The little bit we can see of the front fascia can remind you about a Cherrier, but trust me, in France, we don't build so massive machines today. Except... If it's something made for the Chinese market,I don't really know I didn't make any searches about Chinese french cars but it could be possible.

OT but my phone decided to die today so I can't really follow that thread when I'm not home

Anyway, let's continue good speculation and communication while staying civil !

 

from what i can see, the revealed part of the front grill does look somewhat like a aston martin ngl.

 

Nope.

 

wait wait wait hold on
now hear me out... blobby pessima is getting a remaster. so... 3rd gen pessima???
it looks possible

 

although i'd like it to be an american muscle sedan like the charger, this makes a lot of sense
only this that makes me doubt it is that it looks too muscular for that, going back to the original teaser

 

That would make a bit of confusion, having three different cars with the same name, plus it sounds like a lazy move fron the devs

 

How would that be lazy? Making an entire platform from scratch and making a new generation seems like a lot of work. And it wouldn't really be any different in relativity to the differences between the other pessimas, so it could totally make sense

 

I'm more inclined to 3rd Pessima or Jargl. If american then probably Muscle, but I feel like that would be good to keep for moonhawk remaster, which I think has the most probability of coming into the game after bollide.

 

I mean just calling it Pessima instead of making a new model or even a new brand

 

Ok so hear me out. If cargo variants are called Vanster and cab variants are called Cabster. Would the passenger variants be called Buster?

Buster, Straight Buster!

 

Ford Fusion

 

So I guess it's safe to say now that the new car is coming in the next update?
As for when that is, we still can't say. We haven't gotten a close up picture, video or devblog showing the car in all it's glory yet like we usually get so I doubt it's gonna be too soon. I'd give it a week at least, especially since the van is labelled as WIP as well.

 

Sorry guys, I still think the van is quite ugly. Not attacking, just stating opinion. The new car from the teasers seems to be a good looking thing, though.

And, hey, even if the van is ugly, at least it's very high quality official content. Can't beat that.

 

It is a van. It's not gonna be beautiful is it?

 

The issue with the new car being japanese is that we already have a modern Japanese sedan (sunburst). I worry that a "modern pessima" like some suggest might be redundant.

 

did someone noticed that if you zoom at the left of the vanbus in the teaser
you will see the new car

 

I don't think the subusrt is even considered modern when you put it side to side with a vivace for example, it screams late 2000's maybe start os the 2010's, the ETK k/800 are modern, but even then, not as much as the vivace, they are late 2010's for sure, Still hope it is a muscle or at least some luxury sedan as those are the niche that needs to be fulfilled at least and this car seems to fit

 

To be honest, neither were the real-life American vans of the 90's.

 

Someone has mentioned that he has seen PBR applied to the map.



I tried to locate the exact place with similar weather settings (the shadow cuts the stone in the back similarly like in the teaser) to see any changes on full graphics. Imo the palm tree and the rocks have more colours and gradings, but JRI is also after an update so it looks newer overall. Defo the most changes would be recognisable in Italy (especially in the city), if the PBR has been applied to maps.

 

I think we're looking at a Christmas update (which really wouldn't bother me at all)
