Update Speculation thread

That's NinetyNine

 

He have made a mod for the covet (a long time ago)

Thanks

 

Yep, totally!! The 4-cylinders have gotten a bit long in the tooth, so I could definitely see the 2.7 V6 mounted in the middle, with a special Rally/Hillclimb version receiving a Race Long Block and Variable-Boost Twin Turbochargers!

 

He did a heck of a job for being a “junior vehicle artist. Also, the banner with the sunburst wagon doesn’t have PBR meaning it’s probably the mod. This reminds me, has anyone googled the artist from the civetta teasers? That could help.

I definitely believe that.

I dont think it’s 3D artwork, looks too complex to not be in game.

 

I trust you when you say that he did a heck of a job. I was just using " because it was the word that was used. And I don't knew how named him in another way

I've found this

 

I found this image on Andreas Focht’s (the supercar artists) linkedin. Looks like it could be the door handles for the civetta.

 

Maybe?

 

Maybe they´ve decided to work with 4 month apart updates, with 3 updates per year, that would be mid ground to give us less time to get bored and them more time to work on the updates. Just speculating, have they mentioned anything on what schedule they were going to follow now?

 

Where have you found this?

 

Judging by the file name and postings, he drew it.

 

Not as skilled as you, but I drew those months ago :


Anyway, was it a common thing, for Japanese cars at the time, to have one, or several facelifts ?

 

Its 3D art i.e. its the 3D model that is going into the game/already is in the game. The reason he is listed as the artist is likely because he did the 3D modeling for the car.

 

While the proportions of the Covet will be changed, I still think the teaser picture shows a widebody variant. Usually in a widebody, the turn signals are a bit caved in the wide fenders and there are the respective inserts in the fenders proving this. And notice the pronounced curves of the arches of the fenders when you see them from above! Definitely a widebody!

 

Hear me out... The I series as a hatchback, shortened like the 190e city concept
And with a quattro sport like variant + group b rally version.

 

THEYVE BROKEN THE SILENCE! Also that's a 100% redesigned covet (as we assumed), but it's really really pretty in comparison to the old one!

Also, for everyone saying it's a render, the visuals are a perfect 1:1 for in game graphics. PBR Textures, weird AO glow, it has to be beam.
Although, I must say I find it interesting that the headlights seem to be illuminating the bumper of the car- I can't remember that being a feature previously, so this must be a new capability from the graphics engine?

 

I thought that at first too but I'm pretty sure now that's just the lighting from the sides of the bumper under the lights being raised

 

The Bastion do have it at least for the fog lights

 

I honestly don’t want the update to be released this week because my computer is broken

It finally has come

 

WOOOOOO! YEAH! That's what im talking about! That's what its all about! WOOOOOOOOO!

 

Your idea is crazy. It's really weird seeing a Sedan the size of an E28 5-Series (a Midsize/E-Segment Executive Sedan) being shrunken down into a Hatchback form. Not at all easy on the eye. An I-Series Wagon is millions of times more appropriate/suitable for this kind and size of car.
