Update Speculation thread

After all the debate since yesterday im really stoked to see what comes out with this and if it will be a motorsport-platform only.

 

When you look at the standard set by the Capsule Mod, the Wentward feels even more lackluster. And very very dated. Yes, such vehicles tend to have a long life but still... it feels like a bus from decades ago.

The lack of options make it just much more obvious. No engines besides diesel even though modern buses are one of the most likely vehicle types to have several different propulsion options. No bendy variant - although they will have to rework the way stops work for longer buses and also research/implement the not uncomplex steering system.

We also need a coach, not just a transit bus although this likely could be just a variant model.

No. I really like modern cars and especially in the transition phase the real life car industry is right now, there are countless interesting technical concepts and developments that could be reflected in the game. From propulsion (Fuel cell anyone?) to autonomous driving and advances in vehicle security.

That is not to say that I dislike old cars... quite the opposite. There are some fascinating old quirky concepts as well.

Hey! Get your dirty hands of my favourite small wedge! One of my favourite vehicles and with quite a few mods adding content that it originally lacks. One that will have an interesting canopy opening once the devs come arround to it. And one, that imho, really could use a 2020s modern variant.

I would pay real money for BeamNGs brilliant physics engine simulating a tracked or even half tracked vehicle.

It also has a real world equivalent in the very small vehicles category that is far from unpopular in crowded asian cities.

 

Did the team got bigger? That was pretty fast tho. The devs was working on this truck while working on the Covet Remaster 0.26, the ETK K-Series Remaster and God only knows what other thing to come. It sounds like a lot of work to me

 

Wait did i miss something?
Where was the ETK-I Series Remaster mentioned?

 

I don't think it was, we had the new parts for the K-Series.

 

Yeah figures.
I would have remembered of anything teased about the I-Series.
Would be really cool though if it happen to be in the line soon for the remaster treatment.
i love me native upper middle class late 80s to early 90s german luxobarges!

 

Where? I didn’t see any tags.

 

-Community whines about wanting a bus for literal years
-gets bus
-community whines that its a bus

what do you people want???????????????????????????????

 

His instagram is @pixel.grit

 

Oh, they devs insta. Thanks

 

my bad, it's the K series

 

Dont mention it.

 

i hope its variant of a new truck i would be hyped if so, kinda disappointing if its a d series but maybe a new gen??

 

Guys, a modern stadium trophy truck will drive completely different from a 90s/00s prerunner

 

I'd really like this car to be a variant of a modern Full-Size Pick-Up Truck lineup from Bruckell. I mean, the engines of the Bastion are in the common files and they're also up to the task (and even more than up to the task, when we talk about the 6.5 Supercharged V8) of moving this behemoth.

I also thought of the production lineup of the engines with the appropriate variants!

• 3.5 V6 - SE (1500 chassis only, Standard Cab only, 5.5ft bed only)
• 5.7 V8 - SE V8, Sport, Luxe (1500 chassis only, choice between Standard/Extended/Crew Cabs, choice between 5.5ft and 8ft beds)
• 6.5 V8 - Sport GT, Luxe (choice between 2500/3500 chassis, choice between Standard/Extended/Crew Cabs, 8ft bed only)
• 6.5 Supercharged V8 - Some crazy -hawk/-tail versions I'm already lusting after (2500 chassis only, choice between Standard/Extended/Crew Cabs, 5.5ft bed only)

Of course, on the Diesel front, some 6-cylinder Turbodiesel options would fill up some important niches in the BeamNG lore.

• 3.0 Turbodiesel V6, like the RAM Ecodiesel - SE (1500 chassis only, choice between Standard/Extended/Crew Cabs, 5.5ft bed only - this engine can also get in the Bastion, for selling this car in Europe)
• 6.6 Turbodiesel I6, for a nice and even 1.1l of displacement per cylinder - Sport GT, Luxe (choice between 2500/3500 chassis, choice between Standard/Crew Cabs, 8ft bed only)

Not to mention that the Bastion's 8-speed will be a good pair to all of the engines in this car too. Not to mention again that a modern Bruckell Full-Size SUV can also be based on the same Pick-Up Truck chassis.

edit: I just realized that some variant names might not be making sense in an American Full-Size Pick-Up Truck. The SE, Sport GT and Luxe names could very well be replaced by some names like the "Craftsman", "Longhorn" and "Boss Rancher"/"Matador". These sound more macho, more appropriate for such a car.
Plus the luxury variant could also have a different name depending on the chassis: let's bring the "Luxe" name back for the 1500 but the 2500 is gonna be named the "Matador" and the 3500 will be the "Boss Rancher".

 

i hope they optimize the lighting and shadows i cant play East-coast Usa without my game dying on me
or adding a slider for shadows

 

I, on the other hand, think this will be an ibishu because the devs post had the hopper hashtags. I don’t expect it to have only one engine like most modern Japanese trucks have, I expect it to be more American in that sense.

 

You mean Leeloo's post?
That's actually an interesting expectation but the Hopper has to have an elongated chassis. Plus, why not just form the roll cage in the same shape as that of the existing 3-door Crawler Hopper but with the middle part elongated, in order to justify an upcoming 5-door version? After all, the car we see here looks longer than the Hopper.
Also, the panels up front look suspiciously curvy. The Hopper we know of has a simple slab of a panel with only a grille and two round headlights. That's why I think this is gonna be a modern Bruckell Full-Size Pick-Up Truck. Not to mention that I saw the classic Moonhawk/Bastion haunches on top of the arches once again!

 

Not Leeloo.


Antways, I also see the bricked design cues. But it’s a trophy truck and this usually all have pretty much the same design. We also don’t have a modern ibishu

 

Although I don't see the word "Hopper" written, I accept your Hopper theory.
But then again, maybe he meant the "Hopper" as what it does over various obstacles, like sand, rocks etc. and not as an actual variant to the Hopper. A word and mind game, in a few words. Time will tell anyways.
A modern Ibishu by way of a USDM Pick-Up Truck is very interesting indeed but I was thinking more about a better representative of the Japanese brand in the US: a modern FWD Midsize Sedan, like the Camry and Accord, with the usual transverse 2.5 I4/3.5 V6 engine options plus a CVT for the I4 and a modern (meaning not a 4-Speed and at least a 7-Speed) torque converter automatic for the V6. And a 2.5 Hybrid I4 with the CVT, once the Dev Team figures out the algorithms for Hybrid applications. I know, we already have two Pessimas but both are different generations, with very different design eras influencing them, so... Anyway, just a thought of mine.
--- Post updated ---

With this post of yours in mind, I'd really like to see some high-performance variants of the Cherrier FCV Tograc. Versions like the Tograc 230SQ, S 270Q, S 310Q Arsenic, S 350Q and S 410Q Arsenic, with the same engines as the equivalent Vivace models, would be great because lest we forget about the fact that not all high-performance versions of the Vivace are AWD. Plus, the slightly higher ground clearance will prove beneficial in urban and/or mildly rough driving conditions.
If anything, the modern niche of the high-performance Crossover SUV is selling like hotcakes these days!
