Update Speculation thread

We've said it before and we'll say it again: an e-shop selling BeamNG merch within the BeamNG website would be great! I mean, giving merch as part of a prize in a competition (like the one with the 1-min clips running these days) is a great way of promotion but selling the same merch outside of competitions feels better in terms of building rapport, I'd say!

 

diecast BeamNG cars as merch

 

If soo,I want a Hot wheels style Beam.NG cars

 

Nice ideas!

 

I demand Matchbox Roamer now!

 

I'd also love to have 3D models available for the cars

 

I mean if you own the game they are available. You’ve just got to dig through the game files.

 

Meant more like ones that are prepared for 3D printing out of the box.

 

Ah, gotcha.

 

So, in the next update we'll have two New vehicles, a off-road pickup and a sovietic fire truck. Could this vehicles be a clue to the "new map"? The new map will be in Sahara? Because we have a Off-road pickup, and a Fire truck with perfect tires for Off Roading.

And maybe would be in a Mexican desert? We already have 8 american maps in the game, so we can go to somewhere close to United States.

 

I haven't thought about a Sahara map, that's a good guess. The devs mentioned they were working on a "sunny and dry" map for the next update. ManfredE3 made a full expectations list here.

 

I was thinking it could be somewhere in africa, especially if the piccolina and I-series are going to get more content added as well.
(going off the piccolina getting the class 5 chassis and presuming the new truck is an ETK)

 

I don't find it likely that we'll get both vehicles in the next update, it's possible we won't get either.

With the map situation, I still stand by my Australia idea, and I think it'll be a mostly flat 4x4 km map with both outback and more green areas, with the green areas having most of the developed land.

 

AFAIK there isn't a dedicated suggestions thread so I'll post this here (I am aware this isnt speculation) but I would really like a packed grandstand prop. Would really add to the immersion in some scenarios.

 

Both? certainly not if they not have increased staff in secret we dont know nothing about.
But none of the vehicles i find hard to believe...

 

would seem weird to have none of them.

 

they've had a tendency recently of teasing content not for the immediately next update, but the one after (like we saw with the MR turbo, ETK K bodykit and iirc some scintilla teasers).
considering (I think) jared works pretty much solo on the custom offroad vehicles, and he'd currently be working on finishing off the autobuggy, there's no way we're going to also see the Brophy Bruck in 0.27.
I wouldn't be surprised if this whole map and associated vehicles thing isn't until 0.28, and as i've suggested before, it's possible that jared's gone ahead and modelled the Brophy Bruck based solely upon the design sketches of the presumed Brickup Bruck, since it's not going to share anything other than the engine.

My guess for the scheduled release of the content is the following:
0.27: ETK K/Piccolina content pass and mild remasters
0.28: ETK Pinzgauer, New map, perhaps an I-series remaster
0.29: Brick up Bruck+Brophy Bruck

 

yeah this could be possible, seeing as we have only seen the work in progress designs. I wonder if tire thermals will land in 0.27 as we haven't heard much about them.

 

Oh yeah, it would be Australia, is hot there.
But also, well thought of not having two new vehicles in one update, but maybe in 0.27 we will have the pickup on a hot map, and in the next update, 0.28, we will have the fire truck, but now I'm wondering, if the game already it's been 4 years without any new official maps, maybe it was a really big map, bigger than Italy, like Roane County, American Road and River Highway, or maybe on two maps? A hot map, and maybe a soviet map, maybe Russia or Ukraine (Russia maybe not because of the problems that are happening recently) as we will have a soviet fire truck, like 0.15, when the map of Italy came, we had a italian car, the Autobello Piccolina.

But I don't know how the things will happen.

 

I hope the devs take their time with the ETK van, there is so much potential.
