Update Speculation thread

honestly, i feel like this thread isnt gonna be doing much speculating for a while seeing as...well, where are the devs gonna go now? we always had something that we knew was coming, but now i guess we just wait until the devs announce something.

 

I imagine by now they’re starting to finish up career mode. My guess is it will release in about a year.

 

I’d be very surprised if every developer was currently working on career mode (let alone “finishing up”). For people like vehicle artists and level designers, I wouldn’t be surprised if they had a few projects up their respective sleeves behind the scenes as well, as I’m not sure they would be able to fully use their abilities within career mode’s development cycle.

 

Well I meant that their finishing up compared to how long they've been working on career mode.

 

IIRC, it was gabester that said BeamNG was a separate universe from Rigs of Rods despite containing some of the same brands. (He was a Rigs modder before he was a Beam dev, and some people were wondering if his RoR mods would ever be remade into official BeamNG content.)

Wiki is currently deprecated and has long been infamous for both outdated information and people trying to post fanon/headcanon/RP type stuff. Without checking the edit history on that page, I'm going to go out on a limb and say whoever put that there was probably going off RoR-era lore. (One of Gabe's mods was a Burnside if I remember correctly, so that could have something to do with it.)

 

Yeah, the RoR Burnside was a fullsize 70s-80s convertible, coupe, sedan and wagon.

We still have the "concept cars" from a few years ago.

 

Do you have links to the concept cars/more information on them?

 

You can look either at the first few pages of this thread or look on the old Wiki through Wayback Machine. You won´t find the pictures though, these were deleted and can´t be found anywhere. Some people definitely have them though, there is a Civetta Fulmine mod in development right now that obviously is based on the original picture.

 

found the list https://www.beamng.com/threads/orgins-of-vehicle-list.57564/

 

Before speculating on anything, or posting something saying "This does not fit what the F-series is in real life", we have to remember that the game is not intend to fit a perfectly realistic view on vehicles choice. Devs usualy make something pretty close to what we can see in real life, but they also take some liberties (for example the SRB4 can't be compare with a real life model car, because it's a mix of a lot of cars and style and an original creation from the team). So yes, we can have a rough idea of what something will look like by looking at real life models, but it's not because it's like this irl, that it will be like that in the game

this list might be a good source
cars already in game (legran wagon & facelift roamer (but not 2014 model)& hopper)

 

Why do we take information thats almost a decade old as somehow relevant

 

it's probably not but i was just trying to spark conversation

 

if they, in some stroke of luck, decide to say fuck it and mess with this list of concept cars, then that'd be awesome! they'd flesh out brands like Bruckell and Civetta a bit more. although, it's funny to see that not even this list cares about the mid-late 2000s

 

Yeah, Civetta needs atleast one more car. I would like to see the Bruckell Albatross be added or some sort of car that atleast has Bruckell Albatross vibes, even if it got scraped and was just a sketch.

 

I'm kind of glad it lost because what we have now is at a much higher standard than it would have been back in the day.

 

How? You joined in 2014, meanwhile, the last post was in 2013, and the pool is from 2012.

 

Wait

I must have been thinking of another poll

The concept list discussion has been had a million times. It's an 8 year old list of old concepts and is in no way worth speculating on. We know Charmand is not cannon and any of those that did get underway got cancelled (sadly including the Fulmine as this is a really unique and popular car). As for the Albatross specifically, it overlaps with multiple cars in game. We have an early 60's FR BoF full sized American personal luxury coupe and a late '70's FR BoF American full sized personal luxury coupe and a late 1980's FF unibody American kind of full sized Personal Luxury Coupe. Do we really need the Albatross? Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it, especially if it's FF like the gen 1 Toronado, but it's one of the last niche's that need to be filled right now.

For all we know half of these never got passed being just a name.

I'm sure at least some names will be recycled, maybe some will see the light of day as a coincidence, but it's nothing to base any expectations on.

 

Iirc it was possible to vote on polls without account.
