Update Speculation thread

Approximate Estimated Cost

 

Yeah, that's total bollocks. That SteamSpy knock-off site has no access to any data that would let them get anywhere near accurate enough revenue estimation.

It used to be possible to get pretty accurate(lots of developers vouched for it) ownership numbers from going through all the Steam profiles and estimate revenue that way(which would be way less accurate than ownership number estimation). But Steam made all game stats private by default like 6-7 years ago so sites like SteamSpy lost their main utility.
Later in 2018 someone discovered that global achievement unlock stats though the Steam's API had 16 digits of precision and figured out a way to estimate ownership that way. Valve moved really quickly to kill that and started rounding those stats.

 

It's better than nothing)

 

No, not really. It's not even good enough for casual discussion as it can be off by order of magnitude without any reliable data to make estimations from.

Currently the only reliable data we can get about game's success on Steam are the number of reviews and current+peak daily player counts. Sites like SteamSpy had to resort to estimating owners from amount of reviews and that did not work well.

 

Forza has less players than beamng most of the time

 

no offense to anyone but in my opinion forza is kinda mid, like i love the selection of nicely modeled and tunable cars but it just gets so boring. i dont really know how to explain it. but thats just my 2 cents

 

Any actual speculation instead of game comparisons?

 

Kinda dry right now considering we have a recently released update and therefore it's going to be quite a long time before we start seeing teasers appear again. I just want them to get vulkan done in the next update or at least get it dramatically better because its unusable for me rn lol

 

Yeah. And not get 6.7-9.1 fps on Ultra, while Normal gets proper framerates. (I have RTX 2070 Super and yes I did mention it on the Vulkan API feedback thread)

 

maybe this Tuesday we will get one if we are lucky, might be too early tho

 

we was having a conversation!!! rude

 

yes, an offtopic conversation about other games.
take it here please: https://beamng.com/forums/other-games.41/

 

There's still not any information about t series remaster or new Euro truck

 

Anyone think the Bus Routes missions will be integrated into Career Mode? It would make sense if it was made into another discipline. Maybe we'll soon see a Euro bus in the next few updates too.

 

they need to delete 'a rocky start' it doesnt even work anymore and theres no point of having it when theres a infinitely better career mode

 

It does, and I like it

 

I certainly hope they don't get rid of A Rocky Start. While basic and outdated compared to even the current career mode, it's still both enjoyable and a good bit of BeamNG history. I still think there is a value in keeping campaigns around for smaller gameplay units like the existing campaigns

 

But I think they should get rid of senseless destruction and the other one, because we just got a tutorial

 

Then my steam achievements will be useless

 

Neither Senseless Destruction nor Hustle & Bustle have an equivelant anywhere else in the game.
