Update Speculation thread

I just realized that 0.15 was released almost THREE YEARS AGO (Dec 20, 2018). Thank you BeamNG for being the best game ever, and here is to another thousand hours in a year

Anyway, other than the Bolide remaster, TDev did allude to some new vehicles being in development, what does everyone think those are?

 

probably everything from H U G E B U S to a 60s Cadillac. the Beamng people have great imagination so i don't doubt we'll get anything and everything (up to a point)

 

australian ute or sedan god please im begging

 

I'm sure it's stuff that will be useful for career mode, as we've been seeing a lot of "refined actual game" elements, the last of the OG cars put in, and the next car (the Bastion) fills a lot of important roles for career mode. Perhaps we'll be seeing more mid-game content coming up, since a lot of what we have is early game (something like 1/3 the roster is 1980's with credit value <40k) or specialized (Wentward and T-Series). So maybe some 2000-Present semi-premium stuff?

I'm sure they want to fill the completely empty niches as well, so missing countries (Britain and Sweeden beeing the big ones, Australia/South Korea/USSR being possible, Canada/Brazil/Poland/China/etc... being unlikely) and empty decades (everything other than 1980-2000 or 2013-present)

 

i'm hoping for some 2000s bubble cars, like a 3rd gen Pessima looking similar to the Taurus or a funky minivan like a Previa.

 

Speaking of Career, I saw this in the world editor, apologies if its been mentioned, I don't have time to re-read the thread.

All it shows is a tab called "Career", followed by all the current missions, if they are available, passed, and other things. Like you said though, we are getting elements of a refined game and thats cool to see. Some real "game" features coming in like the maps and stuff. Like to see some more niches filled. So many things they could do. TDev said they got cool stuff planned so excited for that.

 

australian ute or sedan. I think that the Bastion may be close enough to them. Both offer V6's and V8s. If there is a ute body style. Then its 100% can fill that void.

kinda the Grand marshal to. As that reminds me of a Aussie NC fairlane.


I kind of will love a prewar car. Like from the 30s;40s.

Something nice and all steel.

That of a OLDER car from china.

Off looks.

panel gaps

VERY unsafe

 

Split in half when getting a side impact crash.

 

How about a modern British van? could give us something that's built in the UK, A modern European van, and maybe could be under the European arm of Gavril.

Gimme a beam trannie van plz.

 

My speculation is the game maybe going out of alpha with 0.25?

I know it's out of the blue but think about it, The game has been in alpha for a lot of years and with the last updates there has been added a fuck ton of game changing content (PBR, new ui, new cars, etc...) Wich could be a very good indicator of it. And also the original list of things they wanted to add to the game is filling up rapidly, and with the last update the "coming soon" under career sounds it might be actually true. also 0.25 is exactly a quarter of 1.0 so i think it would be fitting to switch to beta

 

good thinking but even if it stays in alpha for 7 more Hell 20 years for all i care. I will love this game. ( i admit am a beamng fanboy )

 

We don't even have an economy, only got part of the new UI, the trigger system still needs work, PBR conversions aren't finished, some of the oldest cars in game still haven't been remastered... I don't see beta coming in 0.25/0.26

 

Hehe!!
--- Post updated ---

ETK could have a Van, since they make two diesel engines, one of which is extremely capable (the 3.0 Inline-6, that is)!

 

Yes but look at this update:
4 remasters
New car
New ui
3 maps with PBR support
And we don't know if it's even everything yet

So it's not that unlikely that they would iron out everything left with the next 1-2 updates and go into the beta phase

 

It was also a double-update cycle. Assuming the same level of content/features we usually get with the 3 month updates it'll certainly be more than 2 updates to finish up all the alpha stuffs. And that's not even considering if they want to get the more difficult stuff in before alpha (better engine customization, tire flatspots/thermals, anything related to multiplayer, AI improvements, game systems related to racing disciplines other than drag racing and hot lapping, etc...)

 

BAMNG PLZ COM TO BRAZIL

Jokes aside, as far as i know many Brazilian cars actually use older platforms and engines

An example of Brazilian BeamNG car might be a 2010s Covet, except it's the 1980s Covet with revised styling (smoother curves, revised exterior, modernized interior)

But I'm not an expert on the topic so feel free to correct me

 

For now i will use the integrated graphics card, i found it a better value than any dedicated one for now. For example it has roughly the same performance as a GT 1030 but it costs like 30$ compared to a non-G cpu. For the bios thing i figured that it says that for every motherboard i choose, if i choose a gen 5 ryzen cpu. The bios will probably support them by the time they were released, all i need is for the motherboard to come in a recent enough bios version.

 

This is promising, but then again, they need quite a few characters to be able to pull off career mode properly. I think there are a few artist renditions of Anna the Mechanic in the game files, but I would probably expect the actual character files to be in a new folder in the install in the root install, much like the "content" folder.

Yeah, that sounds nice! The GT 1030 is what I used in my rig as well, and it provided me with like 50 fps on normal settings. So yeah, it would probably be a good value. I hope it works out well for you!

 

I can even see a Brazilian version of the 1988 Ibishu Pessima. It reminds me of a VW Santana, or a Chevrolet Monza. And its 1.8 SOHC engine, when turbocharged, reminds me of the iconic "APzaum treskilimei", hahahaha.
