Update Speculation thread

I'm surpised QA Latest is being updated over the weekend, the devs must be quite eager to get their shiny new toy out into the hands of the public

 

i'm still surprised at the lack of speculation about any content outside the scintilla and the covet remaster.
with the last update, which was shorter than this one, we got the bastion, the major bolide remaster, and the minor pessima and van remasters.

sure, the scintilla will have taken more effort than most cars, but the majority of that will have been in the jbeam department;
where phase 2 of the grand Marshall remaster would be 90% on the art team, as the jbeam rework was all done with the phase 1 remaster, so I see little reason to doubt that we're also going to see it, and probably another car also.

 

Covet 4-door, anybody?

 

I'm not even sure the Covet remaster is coming in 0.25, the devs haven't really said anything at all about it since they teased it, although an update with only one new and fairly niche car and some technical updates would be kind of disappointing after this long so we'll just have to see.

 

We'll probably see one more dev image of the Covet before the release if they intend to add it in 0.25.x, that and/or maybe something else that they're tossing in to show more than just those 2 cars. Also since the only 4 images shown all seem to be 1 trim of the car (Mr Turbo).
I feel a phase 1 remaster of another car might be underway and I'm thinking 1989 Pessima since that car is closely related to the Covet. Whether the Covet comes in 0.25.0 more so than 0.25.1 or vice versa I can't really say for sure.

(honestly I don't think what I said makes much sense after all the editing)

 

they gave us two screenshots with very clearly revised headlight/taillight models/textures.

I see aboslutely no reason why they would make the Mr Turbo for the existing covet in its current state.

 

Me too its unfortunate

 

This isn't a question of "is a full remaster planned," but of whether it's coming in 0.25. I think a lot of people would be disappointed if it didn't, because an update with just one car and no other new content after nearly 7 months is... kind of pants. On the other hand, they probably wouldn't release it without at least partially remastering the old Pessima, although that car needs significantly less work in my opinion, maybe even just a question of updating textures and drivetrain models.

 

tommorow in real

 

id say earliest in 2 days

 

I'd guess that we'll get the update on Wednesday since we were told that it will come some time around mid week and thursday is a holiday in Germany and Friday some companies in Germany also have holidays due to a so called Brückentag so we may get it Wednesday, Saturday or maybe even Friday depending on whether BeamNG GmbH does Bridge Days or not

 

Creator Program Updated again. Possibly a more stable build if they found bugs ( means mid week may not happen )


OR its the More public build ( just before we get it anyway )

But this is either a very good sign or a very bad one. IMO

BUT seeing stable ( more so even latest ) was NOT updated first. AND the fact Tdev himself said it will be TIHS week. I have a good feeling.

 

I just mean I'm much more curious to see the Scintilla than the Covet.

 

New car spotted in nadeox’s screenshot
Race variant maybe?

 

Massive assessment is due tomorrow but the deadline may be extended because i have covid
but also i have barely done any of it cause of covid

beamng updat why on wed/thursday

 

It's clearly a Scintilla but those 10 pixels are not enough to know anything more than it's black

 

Link to full screenshot? I'm more interested in seeing how the lighting is looking currently

 

Its in community screens, last post

That looks a lot like the street/base variant we saw in the newest teaser but with a spoiler
