The driving model is getting there but I think it's safe to say the Newtonian crowd might be pleased with the aerial capabilities of the buggy ;)

Well...hopefully they won't restrict yaw on a land based vehicle! :eek:

I do believe pitch and roll will be "nerfed though"! :mad:

Hi Mike! Correct me if I'm wrong, haven't read all of the thread, but will the buggy use joystick and throttle control and will it use similar joystick/throttle graphics animations like the ships? and have a similar hud layout or will we see something totally different?

I cant answer that, but fwiw they have said you'll be able to map (or remap) all your controller buttons.

Maybe I'm being too cynical, but I just can't shake this horrible feeling that history is repeating itself...

When they yesterday confirmed planetary maps they did say that smaller points of interest would appear on the scanner as you get close enough. So at least that one will be there...

They have also said that the HUD is more like a personal operating system that follows you around even when leaving the ships.

Judging from how is the game now, and what they have done in a year; this will be the ED: Horizons core gameplay.

I too loved the driving sections in ME. I really missed those from the next two games and wished they had made more of that aspect of the gameplay. Instead we got that dumbed down shoot missiles into the crust to obtain resources!

I can't wait to be driving over the surface of moons and planets. Visting the Moon and Mars would be of particular interest.

Mars will be out of bounds (at least initially). In the future, it has an atmosphere!

In the present too ;) It just doesn't have life as far as we know.

I loved the mako in ME1, actually every time I replay the game I complete 100% of all planets, with every resource spot and hidden stuff. So yeah, really excited to drive the ground vehicles in ED!
