Update Speculation thread

Well that's ridiculous, obviously it would be Ferrari to issue the cease and desist for that one

 

Someone from your team did

 

And then there's the bastion with obviously charger-inspired configs, the bolide which looks like a ferrari, i think the sunburst got a different enough design so that it wouldn't be too much cpoyright-infringing.

 

Where was this said?

 

That podcast from a couple weeks ago

Like ManfredE3 said, it was mentioned on the podcast on YouTube a few weeks ago. He also wrote about it in a comment on the BeamNG subreddit:

On the same thread, he talks about the Sunburst:

We have literally no reason to even think about that.

 

i wonder if the Covet might get a remaster soon, honestly. it's another one of the original original cars that haven't gotten much attention. it's definitely deserves a five door variant, along with a facelift.

 

And it need to get more detailed interior, the original looks like it's from a Indian market car (no hate). Also Grand Marshal needs remaster (at least better detailed interior)

 

Let's wish for the best!

That doesn't make any sense because BeamNG cars have a myriad of details resembling real-life cars! The Solid Tornado wheels of the Wendover, the engine cover design with the 5 red marks of the Cherrier Inline-5, the gauge clusters of the Bastion and the modern ETKs, the ttSport 5-spoke wheels of the modern ETKs and so on! A Flat-4 engine wouldn't really be reason enough for a copyright infringement. Plus the Sunburst has a different enough design.

Its interior is lacking and it's also missing some more body styles. A 5-door kinda-Shuttle, a Sedan and (of course) a small 3-door Liftback Coupe!

 

I still think the next remaster might be of the 200BX, its interior is one of the most lacking, as as a tuner styled car (since it is front Engined, Rear Wheel drive, and with a similar chassis to some common known drift cars) it lacks a LOT of customization options.

The Miramar is one of my favorites vehicles to drive, it has an awesome dinamyc, but lacks customizations as well.

The covet is kinda good for now, needs a remaster, but I don't see it being as urgent as some other vehicles in the BeamNG lineup, like the 200BX, the Moonhawk, the Miramar

 

True that, the Miramar and the 200BX are lacking a lot of content right now. The 200BX also needs its interior remastered and the Miramar needs its body reworked. And one of the nicest additions would be some 6-cylinder engines (Inline-6s for the Miramar but the 200BX could also use a V6 along with an Inline-6). The Inline-4s have become boring.

 

I think the entire Shiokarai situation might have turned the dev team off from that lol

Totally agree with that. They need remasters more than the Covet with its (semi-) recent content updates. However, it is be a little odd to see newer vehicles being remastered before the older ones. The fact that the Covet has been around since the beginning and hasn't gotten a remaster is kind of insane to me.

 

I hope I'm not the only one who would love this idea

So as many of you know, we don't really have a luxury sedan/limo vehicle in the game, something like: AUDI A8, Mercedes S-Class, Bentley Flying Spur, BMW 760li, Rolls Royce in general etc.
Would be really cool if we could get such a car, but again just a idea I know many people would also like to see a modern SUV.

Just a few ideas for the vehicle, if it were to happen:
Engines
V12/W12 Gasoline
V8 Gasoline
V6 Gasoline
V6 Diesel
(Would also like to see a V8 Diesel)
Gearboxes
9-Speed automatic for the V8(s) and for the W12/V12
7-Speed automatic for the smaller and cheaper models
--------
The V6s should be fitted with rwd, to save costs, otherwise awd.
Would also be nice to the All-Wheel-Steering on the model, or at least on the high ends versions.

Just my idea, what you guys think?

 

The only reason the covet didn't receive the remaster earlier is because of these mini updates it has already received, the other vehicles were looking more outdated than the Covet

So, stenyak uploaded this to Development media

The most curious statement to me is

I lack knowledge on this topic so I might be wrong but I always thought fullscreen is the worst for input lag since you need to use it together with v-sync to get rid of screen tearing which made me have all my games running in borderless

 

In my own experience, Windows focuses even less on its system processes when something else, like BeamNG or YouTube, is in fullscreen. System processes outside of Windows Explorer are less important in that scenario. Windowed would probably be the worst for input lag.

 

You're right, we've become somewhat salty in our expressions.
Also yeah, the Covet has received some good minor tweaks over the past couple of years but it is still missing some content which can broaden its appeal. AWD, different body styles, Performance Long Blocks that can withstand very high RPMs (talking about more than the existing 8200RPMs being the upper limit right now), stuff like that.
