Update Speculation thread

Nah, it will get its love at some point!

 

you know what would be cool? if the devs let the comunity design a race track. the ideal race track.

 

That would be very cool!!

 

That's sick idea, but I'd expect a lot of suzuka/monza/spa mash-ups haha.

 

it would be cool if they added a van like bus like the new volkswagen id-buzz!! also that covet looks awsome!!

 

Looks like I (and the rest of 99% of the forum) was right!

And for anyone curious, no hidden messages

 

what about the Alfa Romeo Alfasud? that had a boxer engine, but its doesnt make sense in a tiny japanese tuna can i guess

 

Yeah, why would they bother make any hidden messages when the sketch tells everything that you wanted to know?

 

This would be great as part of a modern electric Autobello lineup! I actually made such a proposition in the Vehicle Suggestions thread back in September!

The Covet indeed looks ace!!
--- Post updated ---

Hmmm... An early-70s Autobello family car with FWD and boxer engines could enter the game some time in the future!
Also, the Sunburst is a different kind of tuna can, belonging to a different car brand than what Ibishu is! ;-)

 

no im not saying they should add it. i just sayin fwd cars can use boxer engines

 

Perhaps the next tire model update will focus on loose surfaces, possibly leaving out temperature and wear?
Also, I agree about the Sunburst stuff. It would make a lot of sense for a remaster to use a boxer engine

Anyone seen this?
Edit, looks like they have lol

 

Yep, they can! ;-)

 

And so... covet remaster confirmed.
While I didn't expect it before the first teaser, It makes sense since 0.25 is a milestone update and the covet is one of the "mascot cars" for beam, like the pigeon and D-series.

Also, milestone updates tend to add a heck ton of content. Examples:
0.20 - Roamer remaster, water physics, Industrial map, and a few new configs for other vehicles like the drag hopper
0.15 - picco and italy (thats a small amount of features, but they are big in content)
0.10 - a huge amount of quality of life enhancements, most notably the audio.
0.5 - "old" pessima, in-game repository, turbos, car tuning, and vehicle specific bindings

So, yeah, milestone updates are big, and 0.25 is a big milestone: a quarters worth of updates. So, what features are you thinking? I'm thinking italy remaster since it's the only "major" map (ecusa, wcusa, jri, utah) not yet remastered

 

Instead of talking about the theoretical sunburst revamp, what about this rally covet? Superturbo? AWD? RR or RMR layout?

 

I really hope for one of the following : tire thermals, aero model improvement and ai improvements/race ai.

 

What about the modern super car teased a few weeks ago? It will likely follow the one remaster one new car of 0.22 (Legran, Wendover), 0.23 (Pigeon, Wigeon). It could also be like 0.24 where they had two updates in one, doing the second when the hotfix update usually does.

 

It seems like this Covet will receive a crazy engine plus Race AWD and I'm betting on either the 2.7 V6 with Stage 3 Twin Turbos or the 2-liter Inline-4 with Stage 2 Block and Stage 3 Turbo to be the engine of choice. We already know it's gonna be mid-engined so it makes sense putting the V6 engine back there!

 

What would a superturbo engine be?
Anyway, I'd guess either RMR or RM4, a RR layout would make it very tricky to handle.
