Update Speculation thread

If career mode was coming they would tease it. It's not done.

 

...Offroad Beast?

 

a mod?

Is this a mod? Looks amazing, I'd like such a beast to be part of the BeamNG lore, it's got tons (pun intended) of potential! Just imagine this with the 6.0 Turbodiesel V8 and Stage-3 parts!

 

Battle car hellcat does sound pretty cool...

 

I will say that the name "Police OffRoad Beast" sounds, I don't know how to put it, kinda "off" for an official configuration. Also the filename completely lacks underscores too. It could very well be a placeholder configuration.

There's also the possibility that this could be related to a crossover platform mate like the Explorer was to the Taurus, which might make more sense off road.

 

With the remastered Bolide, I wonder if they're going to update the Steam thumbnail for the game. The current one still has the old proportions of the Sunburst and Moonhawk, as well as being shot on the old East Coast USA. But considering the Bolide is front and center in the image, now would be a good time to update it.

 

It also isn't in PBR, along with the banner. Now would be a good time to update it.

 

IDK, they wouldn’t put the

That makes sense but I don’t think they’d put the bastions theoretical suv cousin under the bastion name.

 

The entire FCV platform (vivace and tograc) is called "Vivace" in the files.

 

That changes things. I could see a durango clone as a possibility

 

So with the new "RewardCar" thing in the code, someone pointed out that the "rewardCar" system was simply disabled by a "true" or "false" variable in the code. I can report back that changing the needed variables to true and changing out the bastion to something else for the reward car does not really return any results. However, the car you choose to be the reward car can be seen parked at the side of the road in the mission, which is interesting, but apart from that there is not any extra UI bits or notifications that happen. I also believe that the Reward car system doesn't mean that we are getting career mode, I feel like it will be used for unlocking secret car configs, such as the Police Offroad Beast. I think this is more plausible because it will be a way to get people to do the missions that have been introduced in 0.24, and it gives a little more depth to the game as well as a sense of achievement when you get one of the secret configs

 

i'm pretty sure everything's outdated- the steam page images, the banner, the bg on the game library

 

Some configs are already hidden by default such as the "Guineapig_Hatch" and the "Guineapig_Hopper" as they are only used in a scenario or two. Reward cars could be hidden under "Custom Configs" and then moved to the regular config file once unlocked.

 

SET OFF THE "MAJOR THING IN THE FILES WE PROBRABLY WERENT MEANT TO SEE" ALARM!!!

 

In terms of release date for the update, it will most likely come Monday or Tuesday to possibly allow for a quick hotfix Wednesday or Thursday so the devs can have everything done so they can have their holidays without having to work on a hotfix or other stuff.

 

That's used in the rocky start campaign. (For anyone wondering)

 

I remember a few years ago there was like a career demo in the game, how close to this could the next career demo be?
