Update Speculation thread

Aww, thanks so much!

While you're here, describe the new Civetta in just one word- I'm curious what comes to mind

 

I'd say 69 out of 10

 

Could just be a difference in the map specific lighting settings, to be fair

 

what a hot car that is. like a Ferrari 430 Scuderia mixed with the C8 Corvette

 

I'm SO excited!!

 

Nah it's gonna go at mach 25

Anyways remember how the bastion was criticized for having unflowy and contradictory lines ?
This. This is perfection.

 

I'm willing to wait as long as you want

 

By putting the hinges below the bases of the A-Pillars.

That's a gullwing door and it's been known that way for 70 years in the Mercedes cars! Scissor doors are Lamborghini trademarks!

 

re created it with the bolide

something has definitely changed with the graphics

 

alot has changed.

 

Welp. For once in my life, I have no complaints, other than that once again, we got a crusty low-res jpeg

 

is it just me or does the design give vibes of something that would've been in split/second? (in a good way i mean)

 

1. New wheels (Civetta and Covet)
2. New Civetta
3. Remastered Covet
4. PBR for some maps (unspecified which and how many)
5. Graphic update
6. New police lights
7. New plates

 

Tried to get a pretty close comparison between the Bastion photo posted by the devs and the closest that I could get in game. In order to try to match the shadows I cranked up the contrast for the SSAO, but I also took another image with stock SSAO settings.

SSAO with increased contrast:


Stock SSAO:


Official:


The biggest difference I'm noticing is that the SSAO is no longer "Muddy", and by that I mean that the SSAO and shadows actually stop at the bodywork and seem to be placed onscreen much more intently, rather than being muddily applied around anywhere not directly in sunlight.

The overall tonemapping looks way more realistic, though without being muted, and the dynamic reflections look much deeper, and take a lot more of the color from their surroundings onto the body panels in a way that almost looks like global illumination.

 

My goodness, the new Civetta looks amazing!!

Even though I wanted the new Civetta to be called the "Fulmine", the "Scintilla" nameplate (which is Italian for "Spark") suits it great. A spark is quick/fast, emits light and is made of fire (just like the Bolide is), so it perfectly describes a Supercar.

It also implies that the car we see here is powered by petrol because, well, the spark plug is a vital component to a gasoline engine. So could an electric version be on the way too?

 

Just saying. @Superchu Frostbite is a prophet. LINK

 

They probably listen to us for any good ideas we might manage to have

 

Plus some McLaren 720S in the overall shape. I'm not complaining!

 

I don't see it being an EV. Styling wise, it looks like a 2014/15-on, riding alongside the huracan/aventador in production times. It lacks the level of being overdone that modern cars seem to come with - not really the timeline for an EV.

Plus, the previous teaser confirmed ICE with the cutaway.

 

So my money is on late this week/early next week for 0.25
