Update Speculation thread

Will probably Côme up in carrier mode on west coast's race track

 

The suspension looks very familiar, in fact it looks like it was yanked straight from the D-Series Prerunner. That stuff is high quality already though, so it’s quite alright.

 

The longitudinal arms/links of the rear suspension look quite a bit larger though, more like those of the classic LKS Prerunner mod.

 

This Pickup is most likely the sand rail we saw a few weeks ago

 

Huh? The new truck is completely different from the 'piccobuggy'. There is a 100% certainty that they are 2 separate vehicles/platforms.

 

I have a question about spinning van of 1960 s in one of dev. media Is it a new car or prefacelift of H-Series?
UPDATE
oh i just watched this teaser again and found that this van has euro/uk style. so its a new car (still not 100%)

 

I doubt it’s even related to the H-series due to the completely different shape.

 

This is a new car.

 

It's a totally new car, it has nothing to do with the H-Series. It's more like an old European Heavy-Duty Truck.

 

is this a d series or a new truck i honestly cant tell

 

The video is titled "BAJA in c Major" is the new map in Baja?

 

It’s definitely not the D-Series, it’s a new truck. There’s a small chance that it’s a modern D-Series, however it’s more likely that it’s Bruckell or Japanese(I’m partial to Bruckell).

 

Isn't the vehicle a Baja type truck? I think it refers to the truck, not the map.

 

A Baja map is certainly even more deserted than the teasers with the gas station we saw of the new map. The teasers at least had a gas station and a piece of paved road. A Baja map would quite possibly have neither of those.
So yeah, it's referring to the Truck, for showing and describing the version we see in our screens.

 

What evidence does anyone have to say there's an entire new truck, this could easily just be a dedicated off-road machine to go with the theme of the update. Manage your expectations, I don't want to hear a bunch of whining when there isn't a modern pickup in the next release

 

A Baja map could certainly have roads and gas stations lol. I don’t know where you get the idea that it wouldn’t. Plus with a Baja/Nevada map you could in theory have a system of teleports that lets you drive from WCUSA to Utah which would be extremely interesting imo

 

I could definetly see that gas station being a "last gas for 200 miles" sort of deal. I think something "middle of the desert" would be too empty for the team's needs but we clearly are getting some kind of desert content

Maybe something like this? Town on the edge of the desert with mountains in the distance?

 

To simplify, beam has never done a vehicle that ONLY has a race variant

(if you want to read more look at the discussion from a few pages back)

 

Idk. For some reason, despite the apparent geographical differences, the Oman Desert came to my mind - and it really is huge, especially its sand dunes.
But yeah, the teleportation system would be an interesting idea, although it seems quite challenging at first glance.

That's the most plausible scenario because gas stations in such places are known to be hard to find. But yes, being truly in the middle of the desert would be somewhat boring for us and it would also limit the Devs' imagination on what they/we can do with it.
The town on the edge of the desert seems much more logical because both the Devs and us have a reference point, especially if there's also sea next to the said town. Makes perceived orientation that much easier.

 

I don’t think we’re getting a new truck I think it’s a dedicated space frame that’s gonna be modular/pave the way for other motorsport dedicated chassis (maybe new Vehicle UI), as for the map I think it’s an expansion of WCUSA.
