    Driving - vehicle speed, collisions

    Hello,

    since Far Cry 3 (maybe even earlier, but FC3 is my first FC game I've spent a lot of time with), the series has consistent driving model, which isn't too exciting, but does the job. There are however things that could improve overall driving gamplay. First, some vehicles could ride faster. Reaching the same top speed with a loaded truck and a sport buggy, or a muscle car isn't how it should work. Same goes with the atv - these aren't in general too fast, but have extraordinary acceleration.
    Second - the collision models. For now, going off road mostly ends with "kissing" the dashboard, as vehicles harshly hit obstracles even if they are not too high or steep. I think, at least the atv should be able to approach obstracles like a real off road vehicle - smooth.

    BTW - Can we get a dritbike?

    Vehicles should be of different types.

    Not many different vehicles of the same type.


    For instance: heavy, medium, light.
    Trucks, buses, jeeps, race cars.....

    Heavy vehicles:
    pluses - can transport more people and cargo (loot or some useful heavy stuff), rams lighter enemy vehicles.
    minuses - slow, clumsy, noisy (easy for enemies to detect from afar)

    Light vehicles:
    pluses - speed, maneuverability.
    minuses - few people on board, less cargo.....

    Medium vehicles:
    Something average between Heavy and Light vehicles.

    Every type of vehicles should have its pluses and minuses.
    It will force us to act strategically.

    Even every vehicles should have its pluses and minuses.


    2) Vehicles should have ability to be damaged.
    We should have ability to fix it. (or not to fix if the damage is critical)

    It will demand resources, a specialist or crafting skills.

    All this will make the gameplay more interesting and exciting.


    3) One more thing - vehicles shouldn't be scattered everywhere. Like abandoned orphans.
    It should be something valuable for us.
    Rather hard to find.


    As for dirt bike.........





    There will be horses in the game.
    As far as I understand horses exclude bikes.

    At least I haven't heard anything about bikes in the game.


    Horses = no bikes.
    Bikes = no horses.

    Bike = iron horse.

    Natural horse and iron horse (unnatural horse)......can't coexist in one game.
    They can......but better not to do that.

    We should respect live horses.
    They've done so much for people.
