Update Speculation thread

nice seeing you too man

id rather wait another month for a bug free supercar than constantly have it worked on tbh, even if they released it like how they released the sunburst and t series with missing interiors/etc but still having a working shell testbed would be fine by me, as long as whats released works

 

i didnt know they released those like that and i had the game for a while lol

 

yeah no the sunburst didnt have an interior for the longest time and if i remember right the t series came without a cab, just the frame and engine

 

And me

 

A month without a teaser. Dang

 

Well, that means it’s time to start saying update tomorrow and hope for the best. If a week goes by without it releasing, we riot. Who’s with me?

 

This will be really useful, provided that it's kept updated. One thing I hadn't noticed at all until you laid it all out visually like that is that there's almost three periods of BeamNG vehicle releases - the initial push, the present push, and the slower period in between. I think that slowdown roughly corresponds to the period where official vehicles started getting more complex, the team started work on deepening the existing official vehicle's content, and the fallout from the Legran development outsourcing boondoggle.

But it looks like the vehicle development team has grown and overcome those struggles in an amazing way - 2021 was the best year for new vehicle releases since 2016, and that's not even counting the myriad adjustments, remasters, and new content added to existing official vehicles happening recently. I wouldn't be entirely surprised if we start seeing new vehicles added more frequently in the future.

I'm not sure if we'll ever see those heady days again where it seemed like there was an all-new vehicle coming out every couple of months (again, official vehicles have gotten lots more in-depth and complex since then, and once something is in-game, the dev team has to maintain it), but it's quite impressive and encouraging to see the way the vehicle team has been really hitting its stride lately!

 

The T-series had a cab as well, it was just stripped out, no interior at all in the beginning.

 

Indeed, I will try to keep it updated when a new vehicle will come out.

And yeah, 2016 was probably a crazy year, like you get the ETK-K then only 1.5 months later you get the ETK-I that was probably pretty cool.

The empty era of 2017/2019 was probably pretty loooong and boring. There's also a feeling that 2016 was the top year of BeamNG with the biggest explosion of players and stuff, and since then it slowed down mainly because of 2017/2019.

Look like we are now heading to a new golden age.

 

definitely heading towards a golden age. simracers are streaming towards beam as it continues to expand its realism. with the addition of a new supercar, the player base will go absolutely nuclear

 

More Sbinalla jokes in the future.

 

Not only this, but mods also lately have been amazing, some are very creative, some are outright genius, or just made very detailed. I'm excited for what's on the table for BnG's future.

Coming to speculation, I do not think there's anything else left to discuss. Maybe a PBR update for Italy is on the list, as it would make sense with the introduction of the new Italian Supercar. We are already aware of Covet remaster, it would be great if devs went on creative with a street tuned version of covet with an AWD or fwd+aws swap from the pessima, as well as with twin-charged. Or just give us factory ZxI trim with twincharger?

 

is twincharging in the base game yet?

 

Plus more Covet body styles.
Twincharging is a bit difficult to implement, I believe, since you have to keep track of the boost of both charging methods.

 

Feel like we are living a 2016 2, new content coming, amazing mods appearing,... Quite exciting in fact !

 

Tbh 2016 was the final good year. After that everything went downhill.
(Very off topic but just found this out: The chevrolet monza was originally going to have a wankel rotary)

 

So lets sum up all stuff that might come with the update!

• New car (civetta)
• Italy remaster? (or just pbr)
• ibeshu kovet remaster
• maybe one more vehicle remaster?
• ALOT OF BUG FIXES

im sorry if i forgot something xd
