Update Speculation thread

modern jdm suv or late 90's ecoblob like the geo metro and please remake the v8 sound

 

Tfw no teaser


Seriously though, last year we got teasers in October already

 

the wait will just make the first teaser that much better

 

enoff time has passed

 

Nuh uh uh, sometimes teasers are later!

 

would be cool to see an update without teasers

 

Technically, the facelift passenger H-Series variants could have ESC, since that was mandated in the US for passenger vehicles in 2012. Granted, I'm not sure how different the in-game regulations are compared to IRL. However, if the D-Series could have it in 1998 (and the Roamer in 1999), I'm not sure why the H-Series can't have it in 2005. My only theory ATM is that the H-Series system was meant to be an experiment on implementing TC without ESC.

Yeah, this is quite strange. It's not bad - just unusual. Since 0.8, the first teaser for the November/December update released on:

-2016 (21 Dec, 0.8): 11 Nov (although technically, this (30 Oct) could be counted as a 0.8 teaser - however, the issues with the LeGran likely pushed the Hopper back to 0.9)
-2017 (23 Nov, 0.11): 30 Aug
-2018 (18 Dec, 0.15): 19 May (although the first to release after 0.14 was on the 19th of November)
-2019 (9 Dec, 0.18): 23 Oct
-2020 (15 Dec, 0.21): 19 Aug (this teases the updated ESC/TC system that was released in that update)
-2021 (2 Dec, 0.24): No teasers for this update, but the first for 0.24.1 (20 Dec) was on 8 Oct
-2022 (13 Dec, 0.27): 11 Oct
-2023 (14 Dec, 0.31): 28 Sept (this was for the frameless dump trailer, released in 0.31) (I previously mis-attributed this teaser (14 Nov) as the first for 0.31)
-2024 (10 Dec, 0.34): 29 Oct

So, yeah, this is the longest we've gone without teasers for the November/December update for several years (excluding 0.24). There's still plenty of time until the 15th of December, though - I think the teasers are just delayed.

We've had a few updates in the past that didn't have teasers (at least, not in Development Media): 0.14, 0.17.1, 0.23, and 0.24. Granted, it's been over four years since 0.24, and every update since has had at least four teasers (oftentimes more than that), so I don't think it's likely that 0.38 will be teaser-less.

 

Or teasers without an update!

 

NO WAY!!!
THIS WAS ONE YEAR AGO!

Don't give them ideas

 

Nope this was yesterday...................................... least it feels it lol,

also i must be the only one who usees the i4 nine,

also i think this week is teaser season, time will tell

 

Yep, I fully see the problem now and I have to agree. Making a period-correct, early-90s TC will make for a much more realistic driving experience with the cars from this era than simply adopting something semi-operational, so it's best not to rush it. If/When it comes, it comes.

Ahhhh, that's too far-fetched, man!

 

Why would you be screaming. It's like driving a moving couch. Quiet smooth and comfortable

 

Because its terrifying to be in taking so long to get to 120kmh. My dream cars are all these. 79 Chrysler New Yorker, Mrk IV Lincon Continental, 75 Cadillac Deville or Seville. Basically anything thats very long.

 

The i4 Nine is p goated. I mostly use it for offroading/tractor builds. The flathead V8 is gorgeous, and I'm happy to also now see it in the Burnside, although it is a shame none of the mods (afaik) have ported it over to other vehicles.

 

I would absolutely love a 1970s/80s Cadillac land yacht, or maybe a lore-friendly Burnside?(I forgot what year Burnside went bankrupt in the game)

 

Burnside went defunct in 82.

Looks like unused badging on the LeGran. V8 LeGran anyone?

 

There're modern Burnside sponsorships at Johnson Valley. Why are people so fixated on a 12 year old piece of lore that makes no sense anyways

 

What could be Power-F.I ?
