User blog comment:Mortsnarg/Freemode Events Update announced!/@comment-5052376-20150910234715

As someone from the racing side of things, this update doesn't seem to really spark mine (or my crew's) interest much. Yeah, it's nice to have these things, but so far what we can tell, there are no vehicles, weapons, clothing, etc. being added. Furthermore, there isn't much keeping this update from becoming the third coming of Capture (second to Advesary Mode), as unless these provide large payouts (which is relatively likely to justify adding them in their own update, rather than bundling them with another update), they won't be worth the time to most people. The only one I see some garunteed interest would be Hunt the Beast, as people like the idea of Bounties, and this is essentially a large-scale Bounty.

Also, something not mentioned in the Newswire post but included in an interview posted on IGN, this update is NOT coming to last gen at all. Apparently, last gen has either hit the limit with how much the hardware could handle, or this is one really hefty update.
