Update Speculation thread

Texture quality is the same as in the game (look close). Light FX is something another one in photomode than in the game (try it by self)
--- Post updated ---

What exactly way?

 

going back to the new car, i'd like to point out that in this link:

https://beamng.com/game/news/blog/new-vehicle-reveal-the-cherrier-vivace/

they say that it was originally going to be a hirochi, so whos to say this new car couldn't also be a hirochi? everyone here seems bent on an american car.

 

Personally I don't think the update will be released this week, nor next week. I would bet between December 13 and 16 (Monday and Thursday). Because, last year, the 0.21 update was on December 17 (as I remember), that is a Thursday. And if not, at the end of the year (last week of December maybe ????) I don't think it will be longer than December.

 

I usually don't pay attention to graphical differences in his screenshots as it could just be creative editing within the photomode.

 

My speculation is its coming tomorrow, because i doubt they would share this much info long before relese.
Also the same thing occured last time with car_killer's imigur.


Update:HAHA YES

 

I saw someone mention particles that had motion blur, ive noticed the same thing in another screenshot but thought it was just the DOF that played a trick on me. Would be thrilled to see it implemented but i wouldnt expect it.

 

I wouldn’t count on it. IIRC Nadeox consistently adds to his imigur. I’m almost positive that it’s coming out within the next two weeks for the Winter Season

 

Someone noticed the tail lights doesnt perfectly align?, previous version was a single piece, thats next level attention to detail, this, game, gosh.

 

These are comments below this picture, one of which is by a dev (Jared Samuelson)

So no motion blur for now

 

i wonder what this is on the imgur

Maybe a modded map ?

I think the silver Pessima is the "Street Tuned" variant.

Looks like Sandy Mountain

 

that's because it is, it uses CEF.

 

My thoughts on why we may see the update tomorrow:

Firstly, by the few days before the update comes, we have a very good idea of what is coming with the new update; most suprises are not major, at least to the average player. The day before PBR/Pigeon/Wigeon, we knew of the Wigeon, the PBR, the Pigeon, and so on. The same goes for many previous updates. The creator program has recieved what it likely it's final update. I am inclined to think that it recieved an early build to plan the videos, and this build is to film and release. Yesterday, today, and tomorrow (with update tomorrow), is more than enough time to produce an already-planned YouTube video, most of the time. Then, with today's teaser tuesday confirming a great many speculations and expanding on others (as well as Nadeox's Imgur 'leaks'), we have a lot confirmed.

As far as the new car, here are the last few all new cars we've recieved haven't been teased with an update between them, and the ones that have haven't been shown and confirmed in game before hand. I highly doubt that the new car wouldn't come, and I think keeping it a secret is simply to build up hype.

My money's on tomorrow or next week. How long have I been saying that? Too long, probably, but I still think it stands.

 

I think this coming Monday or Tuesday are most likely. I still don’t feel like a Thursday would be enough time to fix bugs before the weekend, considering the scale of this update.

 

couldn't agree more. now we just wait for tdev to post the final countdown.

PS, the 'new' pessima has hillclimb aero so I think we'll see it get a hillclimb config.

 

Teaser wise we're definitely "endgame" at this point, especially with the imgur dump. The creator program has also gotten a couple updates so I'm almost certain they have early access already which shouldn't be too far away from the public release. I wholeheartedly agree, either tomorrow or Monday/Tuesday of next week is when we'll probably see the update.

 

I am inclined to think that they used the creator program as free bugfixes and reporting. And thursday updates aren't unheard of, 0.20 was a thursday update, and the first hotfix came on the 12th, the next wednesday.

Additionally, the two-odd-weeks-ago initial creator program comes just in time for the 2-wk 'feature freeze'

 

I said I will pretend I didn't see that so I don't know what you're talking about
