Update Speculation thread

Thank you for dumbing it out for me!

 

Montana


California


Vast swaths of California look similar to Montana, just as the south of France is similar to parts of Italy.
France


Italy



I'm not saying that Calais and Venice are completely identical places. I'm saying that some of France looks like some of Italy; therefore I don't think a French map would be generally different enough to an Italian map in order to justify its existence.

Someplace like Sweden, though? Now we're talking.

Italy

Sweden

 

IRL counterparts were really cool, and not exactly slow:

Why are we speculating so intensely, we have nothing to go off of? There is an entire section off the forums dedicated to suggestions!

 

In terms of actual speculation. What do you think the moonhawk revamp will do to it. With the bastion out and the revamping of most of the older vehicles what are you thinking it might get?

 

I hope its the next Remaster TBH.

I hope for sedan. I mean this thing scrams Big ol sedan,

Also the engine mesh. while it was the best mesh in 2013. that was 9 years ago. And i think that needs to be redone. I think it will KINDA look like a Kingswood. More so with the inline 6.

I also Hope for possible ute. Possible wagon.

Different Front ends.


next in line is the Covet i think needs a remaster. While it has had lots of love over the years. its showing age. And while it was a hatch all its life. I think a 4 door sedan.hatch will be grand. I love smashing it. New engine meshs. new facelifts. And more goodies to play with.



next I think The I-series will love a remaster. I dont use it often, witch is sad it is a good BMW like thing. Just inside is plain. Engine to small for the engine bay. And lack of Content ( and rusty skins )


next is Sunburst. While its useable IMO. inside never felt finished. And the engine mesh is EH. I think a 5 door hatch will be neat. maybe a 2 door hatch of some kind. But not much here imo.

next. I think the Pessima MK 1 While its more then OK as it is. I think the new Interiors have vastly helped. I think however tail lights that can come off. new engine meshes.
And a v6 Will make it up to mostly new standed.

The 200bx, Same as pessima. it can use a Engine mesh. maybe a V8 and a convertible.


Barstow. While its old, it got the Bulebuck mesh. There for it holds up. I think maybe some texture updates may help. But thats all.


next is mirirar. While its engine mesh is good. I think it needs love. Seeing the new Interiors helped LOTS. But maybe J beamned front seats. As well as a coupe or wagon body. I dont think it needs a remaster. But it wont hurt.

As for SBR4 I think that is JUST ideal how it is, the EV Version is Fun. The ICE is fast/fun. Looks good. feels good.

Crap almost forgot the Burnside. I think this needs love. make it the Inside can be Different the the out side of the car. New engine meshes ( the ones ATM are fineish )
A coupe body. And a inline 6. with rust skin

The new ETKs are fine. The 800 will be good as a sedan. and the K-series more engines. But other then that they are fine.


Hopper. its also fine. Maybe a LWB version but eh.


T-series. I mean yes that needs a remaster. I forget about it till now.


Sorry for meany mistakes in spelling.

 

Moonhawk and covet, we proud of you

 

i hope with the coming remasters the devs stick to the habit of making authenticish race versions of cars, like the moonhawk (which for the sake of argument is probably the next remaster) gets a stock car model circa 74 or so, the k series gets a modern GT3/GTE update, the 200bx gets a japanese GT model or even a us GTO silhouette, etc etc
[






and also i hope with coming updates we get game improvements, like tire heat/wear, ai updates or some much needed optimisation within the next few maybe

 

Best update for Oldest Bruckell

 

Yep, i tried the Formula Trucks in AMS and they're a blast to drive, a race T-Series could really work, the engine can already take 1000+ hp, we just need better suspensions, race tires, 6 speed gearbox and a cool race body

 

DRAG TRUCK. need I say more?

 

try saying "TURBOJET POWERED" at the start of that

on topic,
I am curious to see what other platform cousin cars they might come up with, I could see the moonhawk's being something as simple as a sedan version, effectively what the malibu is to the monte carlo.

for the 200bx, that's a more interesting question; perhaps they'll make some RWD executive sedan, like a markII, cefiro, debonair, etc.
but that'd be quite aesthetically similar to the pessima, so what else could they make?

 

Maybe do longer 200BX and name it 300BX?

 

Too close to the 300ZX, maybe 320RX?

 

OOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH YEEEEEAAAAAHHHH

 

A lower end sedan/wagon/coupe counterpart (Moonbird? Bastion), with the Moonhawk staying a PLC. A <300ci, 300-350ci, and >400ci V8 would be needed to complement the existing 378. All engines would need to be less powerful in the postfacelift. A Soliad counterpart would be cool too.

 

"300BX" should be reserved for a model of the 200BX with a bigger engine, since the number in the name refers to engine displacement. With that said, I wonder if they'll make a facelifted version called the 270BX, with the 2.7L V6 from the 1996 Pessima.

 

The modern ETKs need some details corrected.

K-Series:

1. gauge cluster is incomplete (no Diesel/Metric Diesel gauges and no extra information in the right gauge and between the gauges)
2. exhaust tip designs (one tip for two holes is just atrocious)
3. the door mirrors placement (they appear as if they are mounted in 90 degrees)
4. taillights need to have an EU version with yellow turn signals and have the built-in rear fog lights finally work
5. the "hand-below" door openers are out of place in a 2015 car
6. rework of the seats mounting, the dash (some unfinished spots in the vicinity of the center air vents and screen after 0.23 PBR update) and of the general body proportions
7. launch control on the 8-Speed DCT needs serious rework

800-Series:

1. launch control on the 8-Speed DCT needs serious rework
2. gauge cluster is incomplete (some information between the gauges is no longer shown, although the ETK Driver Experience Center video shows the cluster showing all 4 pieces of info: travelling speed, external temperature, time, instantaneous fuel consumption, top-to-bottom - also, in the Imperial Gauges, the travelling speed between the gauges is shown in km/h instead of MPH it was previously shown in)

Fully functional 800-Series gauge cluster @0:37

General:

1. more body styles (Sedan, Roadster)
2. more engines and Horsepower ECU versions (1.5 Inline-3 gas and diesel, 4.0 Twin-Turbo V8, more versions for the existing 2.0 Inline-4 gas/diesel and 3.0 Inline-6 gas/diesel, including AWD variants - the 856td certainly needs one, with 580Nm on tap)
3. The gas 2.0 Inline-4 needs its sound changed because this sound just doesn't fit a refined mid-2010s German Inline-4

 

It would be very cool to see a Soliad badged "luxury" version of the Moonhawk, something like an Olds Omega (X-body, same as the Chevy Nova)
