I only discovered this marvelous engine a couple of days ago and I can't wait for the first game to use it! I would certainly like to see it usable for some off road exploration, which is the first thing I did in the truck upon downloading the demo. However there was not much opportunity to get stuck or push the truck to its limit. I play a game called Rigs of Rods which is fairly basic on a visual level but, for the vehicles made well, is very accurate on its physics particularly for off road driving. It's this ability to download user's own creations and use them in a physically demanding environment that really wins it for me and my friends. I understand that the primary function here is to recreate the planet but I am interested in to what level the terrain will ultimately be demanding for vehicles. From what I have explored so far of the Outerra world, although there is a good level of uneven ground to drive over there is not much terrain that is fun to take the truck over. I was wondering if there will be any greater deformation in the currently fairly smooth surface. If I haven't explained myself well, being able to drive towards a mountain and pretty much go straight up it isn't much fun, whereas having to pick a route through the jagged hillside would be.
I don't mean to undermine the engine in any way, just on the edge of my seat as to how much exploration I'll be able to do
Personally I think it's gaming's biggest step in my lifetime.
