Update Speculation thread

Well, there isn´t really anything left to speculate with what hasn´t been done yet.
Its normal that the discussion will start to get a little of the rails which is fine by me even this is the Update & Speculation Thread because im not that strict like some out there.
We just have to keep it in line so the thread doesn´t get locked up

 

How long will this "peace" LAST? We are devolving at an alarming rate!

 

I really do hope the new vehicle will finally introduced.
I just want to know if it is worth all this hassle.
lets hope it will be the anticipated modern muscle sedan/coupe if they are going for two variants like the Vivace/Tograc story.

 

Everyone's asking when's the update, but no one is asking how is the update...

 

The pattern of early teasers, then silence and now letting the hype continue could mean the update was about ready when they found some problems to solve.
As gapping fascias and other not so interesting novelties would not likely stop the update, I am hoping for meaningful improvements in the game (campaign, ai, game modes, performance, graphics...) in addition to new content or remasters.

 

I dont know about you guys but im not sweating at all. It comes out when it comes out, nothing we say will change that.

So, some speculation to get back on things;

New car
Facelift h series
Facelift new Pessima
PBR'd maps (all?)
Wassup with the fridge yall

If im not mistaken PostFx has been abit broken lately or atleast the settings window and Bloom? You guys think theyve done anything on that?

 

Didn't know that. Probably because the Japanese keep some versions for themselves and they barely get known outside Japan...

Also active artificial map lighting (street lights)

And the facelifted version of the Gavril Roamer XT is luxurious. Although a Burnside version would be nice, along with a Burnside version of the Gavril Grand Marshal.

 

The Garage To Garage Delivery scenario feels like a test with randomly generated checkpoints, they might update it with more restrictions (like damage limit) or expand it to other maps

 

Yeah the top trim Roamer is quite luxurious for a relatively cheap american full size SUV even more in its facelift version.
Burnside versions of the Roamer and Grand Marshall would be quite the show.
Maybe someday eh?

 

The red leather interior in the facelifted Roamer XT looks the part, along with the wood veneer! But I'd like to see the wood veneer on the Steering Wheel to be combined with the Red Interior (and not just with the base Black Interior), the combo would look great!
I hope we see more Burnside models in the future!

 

Are you forgetting the Tograc?

 

It's not a sedan but it's definitely simple and modern. I really don't want another boring modern commuter car

 

The Tograc (and the FCVs in general) isn't even a Sedan to begin with. It's a Hatchback.
But yeah, he probably means that it has a size appropriate for daily commuting. Neither too big nor too small. I agree, it isn't a City Car because it's too large (at about 4.5m in length, while a proper City Car is at about 4m or less) and neither is the Sunburst (because it's about 4.3m long and, also, because the Sedan body isn't the best representative for a City Car) but both are very good for basic transportation.

 

Good. I want boring modern commuter cars and not just modern ones.

 

The Tograc is a crossover. I don't know what traffic is like in Greece but over here in America its almost all crossovers.

 

I'm sure if the new car will have it's lower-trim variants that would make up the bulk of production. Big differences between a V6 base Charger and a fully-loaded Hellcat, for example.

We can already tell from the lines of the teaser car that it's not going to be "boring". Much like the K-series and 800-series trims go from mid-spec euro commuter to AWD monsters, the tamer versions are either going to be plush and smooth a-la Caddilac/Chrysler, or tight and sporty a-la Dodge/Ford, or even both.

This is all of course assuming the new car is going to be the "Muscle Revival" (Challenger/Charger/Camaro/Mustang/CTS) analogue for Beam, which I'm still not 100% sold on unless it's going for the rounded-off-ness of the newest gen Mustangs.

 

It looks like it'll be a halfway point between the Mustang and Charger, design-wise. I'm on the contrary, I'd rather have it look as boxy as the Challenger as possible

 

Honestly I'd die for a 2010s Ibishu Covet in the game, just a small cheap 3-door hatchback with a little 3 cyl and an unremarkable diesel, it would be perfect to add a bit of realism to the traffic

Same here in Italy man... they're everywhere

 

The Tograc is just a Vivace Hatchback dressed up in crossover cladding. Basically a Hatchback.
We have a lot of crossovers here in Greece too and many of them are driven by people who think of the extra ground clearance as a privilege of going up the sidewalks. Sigh...
