Update Speculation thread

Oh, didn't know they actually update the .tech changelog at the same time! I'll pay a visit to check the past updates!

 

Where on the steam page is that?

 

its in the description of the game it’s from 2019

 

Idk if u guys watch youtubers like Muye or Neilogical but even with earlier access first video after new update is always scripted. I would not have problem with that at all but it's really bad. First video is always without any emotions, just something like reading changelogs but much more boring. So if this will be biggest new update yet then I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't get early access. Also devs who read this, please... if u giving them script for first video after new update then tell them to record first reaction after downloading game from Creator Branch, this will make more hype than reading changelogs (I personally love to read changelogs but on YT is kinda boring ?)

 

As cool as all the new vehicles are, I just hope the tire temperatures that were mentioned by the dev months ago will also come in this update. That`s what Im most hopeful for.

 

id be surprised if all the content teased is in one update

 

It will definetly not be all in one update, it’s normal for the devs to tease stuff which doesn’t make it in the next update

 

Idk this time. so much content teased.
What i could imagine is they split it in two halfs like last christmas.
We will see.

 

So we won't have a new map?

 

that we don't really know

 

Big Island

 

Gut-wrenchingly disappointing. Thought it was "Somewhere-in-the-middle Island"

 

That's kinda the point of the creator program, the videos are supposed to release together with the update and show the new content/features

Also MuYe's videos are not exactly what i'd call boring

 

I suggest we be patient!

I wanna confess something: ever since Dart (think it was him but I may be wrong) posted the video with the three new sounds, I just can't have enough of the new V8 and the new Diesel I6 ones - the new I3 is also very nice but not for the FCVs because it doesn't sound as refined as the existing FCV I3 sound. Especially for the new V8, I can't imagine how good it's gonna sound in the Bastion Battlehawk Redtail, with the Performance Exhaust (or without any exhaust) and on Savage mode, combined with the bagpipe sound of the Stage 3 Supercharger pulley spinning on maximum boost!
Now all I want is the cold start phase to be included as well!

 

First off, holy fucking shit, new Argo-esque thingamajig. This is...four or five new cars now? At least two of which don't look to be road-legal? Man, that's a great surprise.

I don't know if we'll be seeing non-road-legal vehicles more often, but now that we've seen that the trophy truck isn't a one-off for that category, we could get just about anything else now.

Interstate '76's Texan maps (mostly) look a lot closer to Utah than the new map. There are a few maps from that game's Nitro Pack which weren't based in Texas, but those were much more green than the new map - looking more like East Coast, USA.

If we're looking at maps from that series that look rather similar, I think some of the early levels of Interstate '82 look more similar - and they were around...Nevada/south Utah/maybe SoCal. Which is right around the area that the new map is in.

If the new map is 4x4 (or bigger - it's the first all-new map in four years, so who knows how long it's been worked on), then it's going to be real fun for doing cruises or fuel economy testing or just about anything else. I don't think it'll have a racetrack - we haven't had a new one of those on the levels of Hirochi or Automation in a while.

 

It would be pretty fun to see something Willow-Springs like in the new map

 

Well, I think if it's a new map, and if it's called Big Island USA, it's going to be like West Coast, West Coast is the opposite of East Coast, because East Coast is in the east of the United States and West Coast is in the west of the United States. United. So Big Island would be the opposite of Small Island, because Small Island is a small island, and Big Island is a large island.
But I don't think it would be an "expansion" or "extension", the map team wouldn't say "Ah, we're done with the remasters, now let's expand the maps.", remasters are enough.

 

Medium island

 

I've looked at the teasers again and what my is coming up with is:
The trophy truck is 2WD I just now realized
The Lil 6x6 thing looks like the "Laborador Beaver" mod
Coincidence? I THINK NOT

Has anyone else seen the relationship between the Labrador and the lil 6x6?
