Vehicle Playability

[gothxtian]

So far Huxley looks gorgeous, and looks like it offers at least as much playability as the unreal series. There's still a lot of us old tribes junkies that never drank the unreal tournament "tribes vengeance" edition coolaid. Many of us are still hoping for a game as fun with vehicles as T2 was.

Here's some examples of what I'm talking about:

There were also some good points about planetside that attracted some of us:

From what everyone has seen, as far as vehicles are concerned, are we up against just another UT clone except for prettier graphics, or might this be the new nirvana of the wandering tribes crowd?

This game doesn't look like it's going to have very heavy emphasis on vehicular combat. From the actual gameplay vids, have we seen any vehicles actually shooting anything yet?

If people think Game X was the best game ever, why not just keep playing Game X? See: RTCW players, Quakeworld, etc

Lol, thats cause game Huxley currently looks ALOT better than game X

Well that was also a comment just in general; I doubt there's a videogame forum in existence where someone hasn't posted about how some older game is their favorite of all time and can't wait until someone else recreates the "feel" with a new game.

Then again I'm the kinda guy who still has a Genesis hooked up at home... hell I played Kid Chameleon earlier today.

I SEE them jumping out that car 1 i am wondering how many people can get in and if you can just jump oujt the car when ever you fell like it

[Alpha Wolfgang]

i wonder if there will be basic cars, not tanks or apc's just cars... and trucks, and vans, etc, etc.

[master winney]

i do't think there will because they would most likely get owned in pvp

If you look at the huxley videos on the site, the center video at one point shows 2 tank-like transports fire to rockets from the launchers on the roofs of the transports and hit the hybrids, so there might be vehicle to vehicle combat? well at least I hope so.

Looking at the FAQ section, they are saying there will be. Well... I don't know about cars, trucks, and vans, because it's in a futuristic setting, but some sort of plain transport vehicle will be available I am sure

r all those players beta testers? and tell me that graphics will be better than that
