Update Speculation thread

I'd just like the option to have damaged by age, lack maintenance and or normal kinetic damage from the part selection screen.

 

Yes, very likely. Can't be a coincidence...

 

Nice to hear the Moonhawk will be getting a beater variant.

The Autobello would also be a good contender as well, with a little bit of rust and dirt here and there.

 

Detailed map of the ECA changes.

 

Would all the cars get beater variants? It would be very nice.

 

New video is up on instagram. New splash effects and new ecusa, i suppose?

Not necessarily, all that was said was no ETA, much like all updates.

 

No, they mean that they can't give an estimated time of release for the map upgrades. They've been in the works for quite a while IIRC, so they're likely coming in this update or possibly the next.

EDIT

Yea, with the amount of teasers we are getting for ECUSA I'd honestly be surprised if it isn't in the next update.

 

It looks like the map creation team is experimenting with splash effects- we got a few areas with the effects in Italy, and now it looks like it's being brought up a notch with ECUSA. I'm hoping this paves the way for vehicle splash effects- Would love to get some insight on to how easy or hard that would be to implement, though.

 

Watahhhhh..........

 

Probably an updated version of this location.

 

And now with extra water!

 

Hope the flowing water is able to push vehicles

Better resolution video.

 

That river looks so nice, cant wait to drown a lifted hopper

 

Updated ECA is going to be amazing. Seeing the comparisons between the current and updated map is mind blowing.

We still haven't even seen Firwood. I can only imagine what it looks like now.

For many of us, East Coast was THE free roam map for quite a while. Seeing it updated to Italy levels of quality (although I think it looks even better), is going to be an amazing experience.

 

I'd be willing to put it out there that it is slightly possible that the update could be, while not exactly likely, released on the Fourth of July or the Friday following it: The maps that were being updated are all located in the US, where the Fourth of July is independence day; they captioned their instagram teaser "soon," which is unlike the devs to say that if the update isn't actually "soon"; and if the needle falls in the right haystack and the Bluebuck is released, an American car following the US independence day guess, that would sort of make sense.

 

Nope. Way too short of a span between of updates, especially when 0.16 was pushed back due to the Nvidia fiasco.

I predict late August.
