Update Speculation thread

An update to some of the trailers/props would be nice

 

Almost every time an update appears, someone will be dissatisfied with the developers.When Lansdale appeared, many people thought that a family minivan was useless or not interesting to drive. But Lansdale is still a significant beginning——the first minivan in beamng.
Even if developers will shift their work to agricultural fields in the future, such as tractors and map destruction, this is of great significance. Because it means trying in a new route that we have never taken. There is nothing to be depressed about. Many people are just unhappy that developers have not updated the vehicles they want, but why not try to play? Maybe you will find more fun that you have never found before.

 

I think this pair is important. Tractors by themselves would be pretty useless and uninteresting (to me of course), since it would be just another vehicle, even if less conventional, that can only drive and pull things. It's different from the boring minivan since that one can still perform all its functions in the current feature set of BeamNG, unlike a tractor that's designed for something BeamNG can't do now.

But launching tractors with dynamic ground and some agricultural trailers would give them meaning, interest and a good gameplay loop, and this would be a big thing. So what I'm saying is tractors and agriculture would be cool only if it's not just vehicles but also systems supporting them.

 

Yes, beamng is a high degree of freedom and real simulator. If developers add tractors to the game, the additional fun it brings is more important than the tractor itself.Because the tractor exists, its various new functions will bring earth-shaking changes to the game.

 

And this is why I don't see it happening anytime soon, the new features of the T-Series where already earth-shakening for the devs, and they are small compared to what is suggested here.

 

No, I just don't see how a farming tool would be entertaining in beamng.

 

You never know, the devs really know how to make a boring thing fun.

 

I don't see the issue with adding a tractor to the game. In fact I think it would be a worthwhile addition. Especially with the possibility of attachments and the like.
A PT Cruiser or an old 70s/80s Rolls-Royce would be nice to see too.

just please don't add *another* offroad buggy/trophy truck/rock crawler. They seem to have been crowbarred into every update recently even though nobody asked for them.

 

Kinda off topic, but can the doors of the car open when you do the “boom” function to add realism.

 

I fail to see how this is true at all...

0.27 was off road focused, yes. But in doing that it sent four important precedents (first military platform, the first two dedicated racing platforms, the first amphibious car, three of the first non-street legal vehicles) and gave us the first Euro truck platform
0.28 had no off road content
0.29 had an off road tire or two, and the gambler content which was a couple of beater passenger car configs and weird garage builds. Note that again, that sets an important precedent for other content with our first crazy garage builds. If we're calling this an "off road focused" update you may as well equate of 24 hours of Lemons with LMP cars. Thrashing passenger cars in the dirt is not something you'd see at King of the Hammers
0.30 had the UTV
0.31 had no off road content
0.32 had no off road content

I'm really failing to see where this off road content "crow-barred into every update" is that you speak off... We got a couple of off road racers 2 years ago and a UTV last year, that's really all. Nor do I see how "no one" was asking for what we have been getting, since 0.27 was highly praised and that had the bulk of the off road content in the game's history. Not every update can cater to every interest. In the 2 years since 0.27, we've also got 2 updates focusing on trucking content and confirmation of a third that takes BeamNG at least into the conversation alongside ETS/ATS and the Spintires trilogy. We've also gotten the first serious drifting content, the highly requested minivan, and confirmation that coming updates will focus on motorsports with a roadmap showing vintage motorsport and EVOC content.

If you can't find something you like in all of that, or do but are bitter that there's stuff in there for other people as well, then I really don't know what to tell you...

 

I mean, they made a minivan fun, so that just proves this statement

 

you can add various attachments to it, use it for hauling stuff, roleplay purposes, to liven up the world a little.

 

I do find the farming appliance discussion interesting... While personally I still have PTSD from Snowrunner's farming and never was one for Farming Simulator; I do have to admit a little vintage tractor would fit perfectly on Italy and provide a unique experience. I could certainly see some interesting career missions using one for time trials and delivery missions. It would also fit naturally with some of the future career additions we know to expect (James had mentioned using the T-Series for some dockyard organization type missions, and having deliveries for staged construction contracts. Both of of those mission types would easily translate to tractors/agriculture instead of semi trucks/industry)

Additionally, I'm always a fan of getting some unique car history/culture referenced in game and a lot of automakers use to be in the tractor game. IRL counterparts of Civetta, Cherrier, Gavril, and Hirochi all made small farm tractors at some point.

I do fear however that it would end up like the Wydra... A cute little addition with unique driving characteristics but overall probably wouldn't be received particularly well.

 

Vintage Civetta tractor, anyone?

 

All i can say
is YES i am NOT into farming stuff at all, or new cars. Mostly pre 2005 cars ( mostly 1920s-1980s ) cars and i guess 1990s. Sedans and stock cars ( like inline 6 bulebuck and barstow ) AND small v8s of those.

SO i would love another old car. BUT

This is the thing. If we get said bulldozer Tractor ect I WILL BE MORE THEN HAPPY

I mean sure i may never use it BUT how cool will it be to think WOAH A car focused game works on non car related content and SMASHES IT ( we know how awseome the devs are with there details )


So either way am happy what gives the game more people to buy it and more money to devs to well continue to make beamng awesome is welcome


Anyway it's 12 am can't sleep so sorry for worse then normal spelling. Also check my signature for info on that ..


Anyway have a awesome day night.

Ps anyone wants a Aussie type car? No ph well I'll make do witg bastion just say it's a Aussie car export like Holden VF to chev SS

 

This manual transmission tech video looks like Jaguar XJ transmission layout like on this picture. Jagl xd ?

 

I hope the devs make that shifter available on the t-series as an Easter egg.

 

Dear farmers, please line up with your tractors, we are simple guys from motorsport for 3 years waiting for racing content, new and or improved mechanics) if after the completion of work with t-series developers do not start moving towards motorsport, and again distracted by something similar to what you are speculating here, I will personally find each of your tractor and puncture him all the tires).

 

We have a new tire model on the way, we "just" need a new aero model on top of that and us motorsport fans are good

"just" in quotes because it's not exactly an easy thing to implement löl

 

Guys, speaking about speculation


I wanna make a little step back: Do you remember Bastion's official trailer?
For some fragments, the old SSRB map of @Nadeox1 was seen during a test drive.
What if one of the next updates contains that map? It would be beautiful, a wonderful return of that. And I don't remember where, I saw some screens where Nadeox1 was working on the remaster of that map. I play it every now and then, so much nostalgia!! What do you think?
Is this a nonsensical theory... Or is there something behind it?
I am so excited for next update!
