Update Speculation thread

Also, has any of you wondered why we have such great sounds in BeamNG all of the sudden? This guy is behind them: http://www.sonicfuel.co.uk/ (TDK on the forum)

He's been working on A LOT of games & other things, and one of the studios is Codemasters (DiRT series). Having this guy on the BeamNG team is a huge step into making the game more realistic

 

Can someone post pics of the new WCA billboards? I'm curious as to what they look like. (Out of town so no update for me :| )

I have a dds. file with all in-game sponsors etc.
The pack of stickers in the top right are the new billboards. I can send a png. later

 

Here are most of them (don't know if there's any more).

Mh, I don't really know if I like that they replaced all of them. I'm especially sad about the Pigeon Sale one, that was my favourite:

 

All the new billboards

 

Where can I get this Feline racers game? Sounds interesting, maybe they could make it as a DLC

I did like a lot from do your thing billboard, it was so great excuse to exploit marvelous physics of BeamNG in so many questionable ways.

 

Hmm, is that a new Barstow I see?

 

I really want that Gamemaster 720..

 

damn I could really go for some orange juice now

 

One thing, was the highway sign at the Platin Gate Bridge fixed? Or does it still say "under construction "?

 

I`d rather have a Turbo Menu with some TastiCola Blue..

 

Sorry, could not resist

 

Nope, still there...

Billboards: I like the Turbo Burger, TastiCola Blue and Feline Racerz ads the most. And the artwork is great on all of them. I can understand that they replaced the ones with real-looking people as they wanted to use their art style, but what was wrong with the others? Well, I hope we will at least see some of the old ones back in some way...

 

Sorry to be confusing, I meant the large overhead sign before the bridge.

Probably something do with career mode, immersion and stuff.

 

The couple ads using real pictures of people completely killed the immersion, as the game characters are stylized.

 

I'm in the same boat. I'm hoping that Italy and the beetle like car will come out for the 5 year anniversary. It would be unusual of the devs to tease a car before a major update, only for the car to not be in the update, making us wait another 3-4 months for it.

 

Although that happened with the hopper and legran before 0.7 i believe.

 

Now I'm not saying this update din't have anything. To me there are only 3 things that in comparison to other big updates are just additions. I'm enjoying the new sounds and the New map is what Hirochi Raceway should be. I'm also happy that the new map is left side traffic. The ai I have yet to test and that to me is what the update should have been about for a 5 year anniversary.

As for the actual automation part. To me it's pointless to someone like me. I'm unable to make my ideas come into existence. I don't have the ability to transfer over thoughts to a virtual game and make it work. But for those who use this update to its actual intent I bet they have a lot of fun and enjoyment.

As for me this update overall is in-between a hotfix and a full update due to the lack of useful hyped content for me (that being automation). The only thing about the "Automation" part of the update was the track.
