Update Speculation thread

better get to eating

 

Why else would all the frames have a duplicate with hinges for a COE and no steps?

 

i mean what else do we got to speculate about? there was a leaked multiplayer thing but it might be fake

 

The T Series remaster and whatever the cabover is going to be called (I’m just going to call it the C Series until it’s actual name is revealed) could also imply some new transportation missions for career mode, some that actually resemble the thumbnail for such missions. I also wonder if we might get another new trailer like a car hauler of some kind, since we just got the tilt deck for pickups.

 

Also, pure speculation here, but some of those bottom frames seem perfect length to be heavy duty tow trucks. It’s something a lot of ATS players enjoy modding in so it would make sense to have it in BeamNG, especially if there develops away to strap things down yourself like has been discussed before.

 

Damn, I’m so excited for this update, as usual. There are so many possibilities! BeamNG’s developers can somehow come up with the perfect updates and release them to the public every three months. I’d like to see a triple-A game try that!

 

I'm actually really excited for the cabover, we only have had the mod. (Which is kinda old now)

 

Which one? The Wentward 5100? It’s not old!

 

Very much agreed. I’m probably one of the few people who genuinely enjoys driving those old cabovers.

 

I love them. They’re so cool! I especially love the old Fords.

 

James made a post today mentioning that his team has been focusing on delivery missions in the laborer branch which includes some new "developments" and he's at the main office for the next month-ish. So it sounds like the 2023 Holiday update is going to be including some new career mode stuffs that ties into the T-Series remaster

 

In case it wasn’t clear yet, I’m a Mack fan myself. Hoping this remaster takes a few cues from the Mack Superliners and Cruiseliners.

 

im sorry but whenever I hear Mack with a truck related thing i think of this;

 

talking truck

 

I mean, the character is just a stylized Mack Superliner.

 

I've never driven a Mack, always been a bigger fan of KWs and Petes, but I sure do like the look of the Superliners.

 

You should try it some time, older Macks have a cult like following, and there’s good reason for it. Just look at how many R models are still on the road every day, a truck that other than a new hood really didn’t change over its near 40 year production cycle.

 

I'd like to, but the opportunity hasn't presented itself. I'd love to drive an old GMC general too, I just love how it and the Superliner look.

 

Damn, the truck pictured in your profile image is yours? That’s awesome! Mack is my second favorite semi-truck manufacturer. Not so much the modern designs, but their ‘50s-‘90s trucks were awesome. Diamond T (and Diamond Reo) also made a ton of cool trucks.

 

Honest question here

How possible is it for BeamNG to have worked with SCS to make this update, or atleast got a few tips for American trucks, since SCS designers presumably have visited the US more than Beam devs

Just a thought
