Update Speculation thread

Looks sexy!!

 

Rally bolide looks damn cool. Bolide is a fitting name for a group b car because I believe it translates roughly to “fireball” and when you crash a group b car…

In all seriousness, qa_stable being updated this much confuses me… didn’t the not update it before 0.24?

 

By the looks of it, these are sport tires for tarmac and the reason they have a high profile is because all tires back then had a respectable profile height, to say the least.
The rear gravel guards are useful in both asphalt and gravel stages though.

 

That's right, but it's much more commonly used to describe fast cars

 

There's a lot of content to be added to the Piccolina. Two-tone paint designs, a Landaulet (or Decapotabile, in Italian) body with various colour choices for the soft top, Drag parts and engine swaps, these come to my mind!

Yep, magnesium structure, body panels covered in oil spills from engine work in the Service Park, cantankerous fuels... That's an explosive cocktail for sure!

And a crazy superbuild too! Remember the Civettalina!!

 

Probably doing the whole QA thing, it takes time.

 

Sometimes they tease stuff but we have to wait through a couple of update cycles. The Wendover comes to mind.

 

In french (and italian too i presume) it simply means fast, or is used to describe something fast.

 

In greek it means the bullet of a gun but yeah, it's also used metaphorically for describing something fast.

 

In german Bolide means fast sports car, so not metaphorically at all but literally what it is

 

Alright, bolide means lots of things, we get it. I was making a joke.

(It does mean fireball in Italian though)

 

Yes, the first thing we did for the remaster was tweak the proportions. There's now about 5cm more headroom (mostly raising the rearward part of the roofline, the actual height of the car is only 2.5cm extra now), 15cm more pedal room, and the overall width of the car is narrower but it still has broader "shoulders" since the greenhouse is narrower still.

 

I thought you were the level designer

 

All these little stuff that we don't necessarily see while playing are really important and proves the attention which is accorded to details

Anyways, even if it's splitted in two (and that little deception/incomprehension when we didn't saw the Bastion in game on the update release (you don't rush art and that's normal)), this is probably be one of the denser and most important update !

Back to speculations : do you think that the Etk center we saw on Nadeox's Imgur will come in this update, or that we'll see it in 0.25 ?

 

Good catch, I was level designer for about 4 years, but I've been back on the vehicle team since the Vivace was in development

 

and we love them for it

 

Going back to the Piccolina, it's very clearly based on the Fiat 600 which, on top of the Trasformabile with a foldable soft top, also had a proper cabrio model, the 600 Capri Cabriolet, so it would be cool to have it in game (although it's way too soon to remaster it)
