Update Speculation thread

I'm more inclined to 3rd Pessima or Jargl. If american then probably Muscle, but I feel like that would be good to keep for moonhawk remaster, which I think has the most probability of coming into the game after bollide.

 

I mean just calling it Pessima instead of making a new model or even a new brand

 

Ok so hear me out. If cargo variants are called Vanster and cab variants are called Cabster. Would the passenger variants be called Buster?

Buster, Straight Buster!

 

Ford Fusion

 

So I guess it's safe to say now that the new car is coming in the next update?
As for when that is, we still can't say. We haven't gotten a close up picture, video or devblog showing the car in all it's glory yet like we usually get so I doubt it's gonna be too soon. I'd give it a week at least, especially since the van is labelled as WIP as well.

 

Sorry guys, I still think the van is quite ugly. Not attacking, just stating opinion. The new car from the teasers seems to be a good looking thing, though.

And, hey, even if the van is ugly, at least it's very high quality official content. Can't beat that.

 

It is a van. It's not gonna be beautiful is it?

 

The issue with the new car being japanese is that we already have a modern Japanese sedan (sunburst). I worry that a "modern pessima" like some suggest might be redundant.

 

did someone noticed that if you zoom at the left of the vanbus in the teaser
you will see the new car

 

I don't think the subusrt is even considered modern when you put it side to side with a vivace for example, it screams late 2000's maybe start os the 2010's, the ETK k/800 are modern, but even then, not as much as the vivace, they are late 2010's for sure, Still hope it is a muscle or at least some luxury sedan as those are the niche that needs to be fulfilled at least and this car seems to fit

 

To be honest, neither were the real-life American vans of the 90's.

 

Someone has mentioned that he has seen PBR applied to the map.



I tried to locate the exact place with similar weather settings (the shadow cuts the stone in the back similarly like in the teaser) to see any changes on full graphics. Imo the palm tree and the rocks have more colours and gradings, but JRI is also after an update so it looks newer overall. Defo the most changes would be recognisable in Italy (especially in the city), if the PBR has been applied to maps.

 

I think we're looking at a Christmas update (which really wouldn't bother me at all)

 

The grille looks like the cherrier one (For the new car) And here is the car that have possibly inspired devs. And there is maybe the possibility that it would be decline as a break as the real car (Peugeot 508)

 

Why make a new brand? Keeping some line heritage seems fine, but I can sorta see how we're so spoiled in getting completely new brands for every new car.

 

In all honesty I'd rather not see a single new brand be introduced to the game for a couple years to allow for the following brands to actually get some development:

• Autobello - 1 car (needs more content, period)
  
• Burnside - 1 car (needs more content, period)
  
• Civetta - 1 car (needs more content, period)
  
• Soliad - 1 car (needs more content, period)
  
• Cherrier - 1 platform (needs older cars)
  
• Bruckell - 2 cars (needs both older and newer cars)
  
• Hirochi - 2 cars (needs older cars)

Didn't add Wentward to the list as they're too niche imo.

 

I mean like I understand why they do it, I doubt they could've dropped the bus update and been like "hm yeah we'll call this the gavril b series for bus" because it's just a little too repetitive.

 

I definitely understand for the bus and cars from new countries (IE: Cherrier), but for now they really need to spend more time on the existing brands. In terms of time since the last vehicle, Civetta is by far the worst offender, getting its first car over 8 years ago and getting nothing since.

 

The new teaser might not show the real lines of the black car. Looks to me like the right head lamp is broken and the whole corner bent out of shape.

 

I guess it´s been said before but even though I thought from minute one that the new car was clearly going to be a Charger kinda looking american car, I´ve got the impression from this last picture that it might be some kind of maserati ghibli, answering both the demand for a fast car, luxurious and European as I believe we´re lacking




It does have the wide back (haha) of the Charger , with the line over the rear wheel, the long hood with the tip angling down... The LED lighting looks similar. Also the could brand it as Civetta
