Off-Road Drive in Development

[MrTorino351]

Hey guys, just playing the demo, seems ok...Buuut a few things concern me.

the car seems to not have enough weight to it, it doesnt give you the feeling that it has much mass.

it is to hard to roll over as well, thrashing around at speed turning sharply over hills should see it flip over... i should be nervous to thrash it around the track in fear of tipping it over.

the car should not reset itself.. if i want it to sit upside down for a hour, or be stuck hoplessly somewhere,i should be able to,not have the car just flip over by itself like a playstation 1 arcade racer

in 2wd without lockers engages,there is still to much traction,in the mud terrain, i can get through nearly all the level in 2wd(except for that fun boggy mud) without the rear diff locked,it should be opening up 1 wheel then trying to spin 2 then 1 again,the engine doesnt even have enough power to spin the rear wheels in 2L properly.

when you let the tyres down,you should be able to get them to be flat,or near flat,i let the tyres all the way down and they were barely bagged out.

with the lockers, not sure if its me or the demo,but i cant lock front and rear diffs independantly,that has to change. someone let me know if im missing something

free roam has to be included,surely you could have at least 1 level that lets you just explore and climb big mud hills and rocks, if there isnt some sort of free roam,i dont think i will be buying it,and iv had 4 of my friends say the same thing,im sure everyone else interested in this game feels the same way.

also damage is a must,proper damage, doesnt have to have good visual damage, mechanical damage is the key... like popping a tyre of the bead, damaging a locker from engaging/disengaging under load or being silly. over heating from revving its box off, maybe even a petrol engined car running off a couple of cylinders from driving through too deep water?

Those are just a couple of my observations great game though... i hope the coil sprung cars wobble around and bounce more

Cheers

so ive been reading, and researching and reading some more and still researching even more and im really concerned as to why free roam hasnt been put into this game. you cannot give me a legitimate reason as to why this game has no free roam. 3/4 of the posts on this section of the forum are dying for free roam. retarted games that have no business being called "offroad" games have free roam. after reading the description of the game on the website i was super stoked, started scrolling down and was confused as to why free roaming wasnt in the features list. ill be strait with 1C. if it comes out and theres no free roam at LEAST on mulitplayer online for 360 and PC ill still play it...but ill be renting it. not purchasing it. and im sure others can relate to what im saying. you want the game to take off more than ever? announce free roam, everyone will gladly wait a little longer to have a solid free roaming portion of the game, i know i would.

but what does my opinion matter...im just 1 of about a billion consumers who share the same feeling about this game...(who ultimately make this game sink or float.)


other than that, this game is sick.

Screamer 4x4 had free roam, was a great game! I just bought it for the free roam.

true, i heard that was a really fun one. but this only proves my point more. people will buy a game just for the free roam.

i think ill make a topic with voting to see how people feel. the thing is, i dont know if the designers even come on here anymore.

Haha, the designers haven't been here for what? 3 months?? And the forum is getting killed too by this silence. I'm sick of being here on the forum and posting stuff and not getting any answers or response. 1C has the worst fan approachement ever! But I hope they'll give the full 100% for the game then and please, I beg you again and again, put the freaking free roam in it! Even Screamer 4x4 had it and that was like what? 11 years ago? The game looks good but just try to listen to us devs.

Only reason I'm still on Here is to talk off road.

Their Facebook is dead as well as the boards and the game isn't even out. Blows my mind.

Yeah, but I bet if I say something bad again I'll get a permanent ban in less then an hour!

I agree and disagree with you. YES this game would be much better with free roam, anyone who says otherwise is just plain wrong. However I've been waiting for a decent 4x4 game for such a long ass time that I would be perfectly content with this game without free roam. Since 1c continues to withhold any info on an xbox 360 demo or release date, that I (and I know I'm not alone on this) am becoming pretty concerned as to wether or not the U.S. or even anyone will ever see a finished product of this game. Yea I want free roam, but the way I see it if 1c is having as much trouble as they apparently are getting this game on the market as it is now, than attempting to add a well functioning free roam could lead to the total abandonment of this game. No one wants that. Free roam or not, I'm purchasing my copy. I just want to hear of, see, and at some point experience first hand some progress on this game.

Problems getting this game on the market? Tuff Country (Krazee DD) made them an offer or something so they could provide the game on big 4x4 events in the USA. And about the free roam, this game will make it. I play Screamer 4x4 once and a while, if I'm really really bored, just add some cheats etc. and I can drive all cars free roam.
