Update Speculation thread

Who cares, the devs always surprise us!

 

Rushed? I truly don't see that at all, quality wise it lives up to the standards of the other vehicles in game

 

The only "Rushed" thing I see in it is the lack of other versions, which I can see why, as nobody converts an old 80s sedan into a Hillclimb car (forgot the Pessima). They could have added stuff like a Taxi, and a 2 minute Google search got me Lowrider, Donk and tons of beater versions of an '83 Buick Century and an '88 Chevrolet Celebrity.

 

I took this from the devblog.

LeGran: fixed automatic shifters animation, fixed shading errors on seats and parts of interior, fixed inaccurate sport speedometer, fixed base model having chrome trim, weakened radiator, stabilized hood, increased drag

 

dont get me wrong, i love the legran, but there are definitely areas where it was rushed... there are quite a bit of quirks to it that we havent ever really had in any other car:

 

But is it really they're fault?
No. It's ours for rushing.

 

I don't use the new cars very often at all, mainly because they break so easily, so I'm not that bothered about the LeGran. My trusty D-series and T-series don't break very often however, and the Hopper looks fairly tough too, so I'm excited for that.

 

hope they throw us a bone to speculate on. this thread is dying lol

 

I feel sorry for @LJFHutch, Italy has 100 less likes than WCUSA
I'm equally hyped for both maps

 

I wonder what year the Hopper is. It might be the first mid 2000's car in the game.

 

Hopper is easily from the late 80s. I may be wrong but the dashboard (when we see it) will be final proof

 

i think its more late 1998ish through 2002ish
because the wheels look more modern:

and from this picture we can see the rear brakelight above the spare tire, which looks modernish:



and it is based off of a jeep wrangler, which looked roundish up until 2006, and this kinda looks like a 2003 model with a landrover something front

 

it's a combo of the FJ40, the Suzuki Samurai, and some Jeep JK in the design

 

I think we'll get PBR (Physically Based Rendering) in 2017. What do you guys think?

 

I think that was mentioned as a possibility not something that willl be implemented in the game for sure, i'm pretty sure torque3d would be pushed over its limits in this case, sucks how limiting that game engine seems to be

 

I agree on how limited the Game Engine is. But i believe in the Dev Team that they can implement this feature.

 

Same, they've done wonders so far

 

I think they Said offten enough that they are working with the Torque 3d team to fix the issues they are having with it

 

Does anyone think we would ever have official aircraft by the devs in this game? they did state they would try to cover every arch type of vehicle, of course this is probably excluding planes; but does anyone think that's a possibility in the distant future?

 

They have stated to only do land vehicles.
