Update Speculation thread

you won't have to count any birds if there are no birds *taps forehead*

 

I can’t be the only one that thinks the sunburst looks different in this trailer

 

*hype train music in the distance*

 

But you still have pigeons of the Ibishu verity.

 

i was thinking that too put couldnt put my finger on why. maybe the headlights are slightly higher? im not sure but i know what you mean

 

different wheels? saw that one too

 

what?

 

Man the new map looks very interesting. We'll see how it goes thought, i hope there is more to it than what showed on the trailer, maybe some secret government bird watching bunker or something like that would be cool.
Also, I know this isnt coming in the next update or probably the one after, but Jungle Rock Island is going to be amazing the day they remaster it, if all the previous work done is indicative of the quality of what is next.

 

Nah its the same, but remember it had tweaked body shape a long ago and the lighting is even better in that version

 

"I would like to have bird-watching in-gane"

 

All I can see on the Sunburst it what appears to be the regular wheels. I can barely make them out anyways

 

looks like 15x8 derid rallypros to me

 

the only difference i see is that the rear view mirror is metal ish and the lights having a metallic appearance, Might just be the dynamic reflections. (i have them turned off)
And that the tires look thinner than usual. (new rims?)

 

the tyres did look to have a higher profile than the one normally in the game but that just might come to video quality and user judgement.Anyway, i do like meself some new rims.

 

It is the 15x8 RallyPros.
If the picture isn't too pixelated, you can see the edge of the rim slightly and it matches the smaller RallyPros.

 

you're not alone. it looks a little bit wider

Alright, so I've seen the trailer. It looks nice, as expected, but it still feels pretty dead, especially given how grey it is now, and that was the biggest issue with Small Island. I guess it's more of a research outpost thing now, which makes a bit more sense than all the random crusty industrial buildings, and it finally has a much needed port. I really didn't expect the aesthetics to go the route they did, but it will probably grow on me in the future.

It is very unprecedented to drop a trailer on a Saturday, so maybe they're dropping multiple level trailers over the next few days, not just Small Island. Small Island is 1/4 the size of ECA and Utah, so it would be odd to only produce a remaster of one really small map over the past few months.

 

Hot take: the update is either coming Monday or Tuesday, or it is not going to be next week. Next Friday is Good Friday, a holiday in Germany, and the devs don't like releasing updates right before holidays. That way they have time to listen for bug reports and make hotfixes. Honestly, even Tuesday is a bit too close...

 

I hope so they will fixed dct
