Update Speculation thread

https://wiki.beamng.com/Example_Projects

 

Just noticed on the changelog it says that the current d-series is only "phase one" of the revamp

 

New logo teased at the end of the devblog looks like two Rs interwined...

 

The rounded hood of the vehicle in the photograph is important. This tells me that it is either exotic or older, but the smoothness discourages the latter. So does the color.(it wasn't a popular choice on VW bugs, my first thoughts). Look at @DankMemeBunny 's Mclaren. Then look at the hood. Also, if you look at the shape of the grille (barely visible) I'm getting Maserati impressions. Conclusion: Modern Rolls Royce-like vehicle.

 

I love the new loading screens

 

I'm really hoping the Hopper revamp will be part of a mini update like the Grand Marshal revamp, and therefore come sooner than a normal full update. I'm a little bummed about that one not making it because I was looking forward to it quite a bit.

 

Instead of new car we get a lot of new versions for D-Series and I love it! Tbh I would love to see this pattern in the future - new versions or new car for major updates.

 

so we know the new car isn't the wendover.
it possibly may be russian

it could be something new entirely...

 

I just can't help but feel and hope that those two R's are oddly familiar... Please please please
​

-I'm saying if it's a modern supercar I'll be ecstatic, God I love you gabester!

 

It might not actually be modern. If you take a look at the bottom corners, it almost appears as if the fascia meets at a point, almost like a lot of older vehicles.

 

Hell yeah. UTAH looks 1000 times better now. Obviously the old Utah will be in our hearts forever. I just speculated that after the map loading.. my game didn't even lag a bit. I was able to play smoothly on high quality around Utah. It was not possible earlier. I even love the night time. skies filled with stars. Awesome BEAMNG

 

I'm really curious how the Hopper was able to be shown off at SEMA what, 5 weeks ago, and yet not in the update. The Hopper is one of those cars that could get a ton of content (well, pretty much every car is low on content in Beam. But the Hopper has a lot more missing compared to what it should have than most), so it is possible we will see a big update to the Hopper sometime soon.

Overall this seems like a weird update. More attention to the D-Series than I expected and hints at even more, less to the Roamer/H-Series/Hopper. Completely unannounced, some really random stuff thrown in (thinking of the drift/rally content)

 

where are you gettin the screens from specificially the rr badge?

 

The hood teaser was at the end of the 0.18 devblog

 

R
ᴚ

 

Rolls Royce or something or a reference to Rigs of Rods possibly

 

though gabester said he doesnt want any ror vehicles in beam...

 

oh. possibly some manufacturer with an R in their name

 

And that we will never get a D-Series long bed... If RoR ports are sufficiently high quality, such as the Bandit, they slide. Which means it's very easy to imagine a reincarnation of some of his old RoR stuff. Maybe a new modern Gavril that is to the MV4 what the Barstow is to the Bandit.

(This is not me speculating about any releases, just that it seems fair game to make a new car based on the old RoR stuff)

Also: "ETK 800 Drift. The diesel wagon drift scene is a strange one. Performance class: 0" Mmk then.

Also 2: Some of the new configs have nice descriptions. The Pessima drift and Roamer adventure are tied for my favorite from what I've seen so far.

Also 3: The D-Series has a new option under "tow hitch"

 

one of the best updates so far not everything i hoped for but then a lot of stuff i didnt expect... To a even more successful 2020
