Update Speculation thread

Doesn't look like a total rework but the side blinker and the tail lights look totally different

edit: qa_latest gets updated multiple times before an update but today it's very quiet

 

The only thing that I can see that looks different are the rear lights, they are clearly different as the colours are better, the shapes inside the glass are sharper and there is a white glass part that isn’t there at the moment. And the interior (same as in the remastered k Series. But the rest… I’d don’t see anything different

 

the headlights & interior are way better looking in the 1st pic + there is another pic showing redone taillights. The 800 is definitely getting a remaster.

 

I am doubting pit stops, because we only got one mention, which still was not a 'proper' teaser of pit stops, only a title for a teaser itself that only seemed slightly related, but knowing the update is based on a racing premise, it would be really nice to be able to repair your car at certain places around the map, like when you are running from the cops and you need to fix the front end, but it repairs only the amount of time you were able to stop before having to take off

If we get pitstops, I would hope it would like the Beam Regenorator mod that was really popular a while back

 

No tire thermals this update.

 

that sucks..

 

That mean nothing about if we are going to have tire thermal in this update. He can't talk about what come in 0.28, so his message is just normal from a dev.

 

I’m inclined to think that he probably wouldn’t make any statement at all if it was coming in 0.28.

 

Yes but at the same time he talks about that because another guy has mentioned they are trying to add it, and his message is 100% neutral, so we still can have it.

 

This literally has nothing to do with the update.

 

Just report the message and move on. Don’t draw too much attention to it.

 

If there aren't any tire thermals, what are we even getting this update?
I'm pretty dissapointed, Tdevs big Q&A a while ago promised several big feaures for the future and so far we haven't seen anything about it

 

maybe we're getting new camera Options ?
like a roof drift cam, proper dash cam (without us putting it there) and a bumper cam

 

Ok guys and gals, it's not the end of the world. We know tire thermal simulation is a difficult part of the software, so it needs its time to be perfected and ironed out of any bugs.
For the time being, I can't wait for the remastering of the ETKs. Although, like the perfect pork schnitzel, they need their time too!

P.S.: Roast lamb and potatoes for the Bastion, stone-baked pizza for the Scintilla, sushi for the Covet, pork schnitzel for the ETKs, I'm on a roll with the food metaphors in here, lol!

 

?

 

Did you read what stenyak’s message actually said? “Research is still underway” means that they’re actively working on it and that it’s simply still being developed. It’s not like they forgot about it. Also “promised several big features for the future” yes, for the future, that generally doesn’t mean “next update”. Development, especially on big features, takes a lot of time and effort, often more than anticipated. As for this update, I’m sure that -as always- there’s more behind the curtain we haven’t seen yet. Even if there isn’t, I’m happy to get an etk K series remaster and a revamped map, especially when I know there’s more content around the corner still being developed.

 

This. I'm sure everybody is very eager for tyre thermals as it has the potential to be a game changer for the racing aspect of driving in Beam, but similarly I wish people would stop being so whiny when a feature (tyre thermals or otherwise) is pushed back. If the devs find a good way of implementing it, then we'll be getting it eventually. If they don't find a feasible way of getting it in yet then of course it sucks but such is the experience of developing for something as complex as Beam

 

Bastion Brisket. Change my mind.

 

what are you guys expecting for tomorrow's teaser?

 

Something cool
lol
