The New STARFIELD Update Just Added Vehicles And Its So Much Fun!

[@johnwpipes8927]

Well this looks like great fun! A very nice addition that they neglected in Fallout 4, as you mentioned. Plus they didn’t make you jump through a bunch of hoops to get access to the rover!

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@@johnwpipes8927 shame you never got into Starfield John as this was so much fun to use 😂

[@johnwpipes8927]

@@mike-thegamingdad I still consider it from time to time, but seems like a huge time commitment (all the mechanics and resource gathering) to really enjoy it so I keep hesitating. Lol!

[@garyrobinsonpcgamingmodelr7942]

That looked like so much fun. I politely disagree that Fallout 4 needs vehicles, beside your own walking power you have fast travel, Institute teleport relays and Brotherhood of Steel Vertibirds. Kind regards Gary.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@garyrobinsonpcgamingmodelr7942 yeah that's my main gripe with survival mode though, it removes fast travel, leaving your options as walk or vertibird. It feels like it pushes you to side with the BoS too much, given they have the only ability of picking you up and moving you across the map. It's not so bad in non survival though yes.

[@theidajawho]

A Rev would be great for gettin around the Commonwealth, someone is working on porting this to FO4 I am sure.

[@oxzhy3341]

Yeah but This have different engine then fo4

[@theidajawho]

@@oxzhy3341 True, but I bet some modder is working on it all the same.

[@theidajawho]

@@oxzhy3341 Oh, and I would not same 'different' how about upgraded.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@@theidajawho that would be cool for sure 😁👍🏻

[@BionicleJackson]

Growing up as a desert rat, I'm really looking forward to taking the Rev-8 to Earth for some proper sand rail excitement. Still gonna wait for the dlc, but it looks like Starfield will have some freshness regardless.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@BionicleJackson yeah I'm looking forward to Shattered Space also! Seems a bit darker than the general theme of Starfield so far

[@BlanketGamer-fz4gx]

This should have been in the game during launch

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@@BlanketGamer-fz4gx probably yeah, but at least it's here now 🤣

[@jamesdean556]

Mass effect was out since 4ever, they could have learned one this or two about it

[@toragirsl1441]

This looks like a fun update! I'm waiting for Shattered Space

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@@toragirsl1441 me too can't wait for that! 👍🏻

[@stephenmoon6644]

What stops me playing this is my allready massive things to do list in skyrim and fallout 4. Maybe find the time at some point, but this looks a nice update.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@stephenmoon6644 yeah I know what you mean! There's a nice DLC coming out too at the end of the month, Shattered Space. Watch the trailer if you can on steam. It's a lot 'darker' that what Starfield currently throws up. It's an expansion of one of the factions and looks really good. I'm definitely going to pause on one of Skyrim/FO to play that fully when it comes out

[@willmorgan5692]

Hey mike day one soon as the buggy was available too buy i was on mars and drive all over for almost an hour just haveing fun so its safe to say the REV-8 adds so much needed crazy vehicle mayham

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@willmorgan5692 that's awesome! Yeah I had loads of fun with it, it made me want to come back and do more Starfield that's for sure!

[@AntiKira20]

Too bad multi-player doesn't exist in Starfield. Drag racing would be fun with recreations of the Pod Races from Star Wars on Earth.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@@AntiKira20 haha yeah that would be awesome! 😅

[@revolver2750]

I see the land vehicles but it feels lackluster and lazy. Like it just appears where is the ship module to stick a vehicle to it and make it drive out...

[@Ed-ealmighty]

There's a mod that adds a Trident 3x2 garage hab for the rev 8... Now we just need multiple smaller hab versions

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@revolver2750 yeah I can see what you mean. I did some additional testing that I decided to cut out of the video, which was basically trying to drive the vehicle up the ramps and into all of the cargo bays/entrances. I don't have many ships on my save as I tend to just use the same ones. I have like 5, but only 1 of them could physically get the Rev-8 in/would allow you to get out. So yeah you'd realistically need a ship module for them to be stored. I guess the point I'm getting to is it depends how realistic you'd want to make it, but say for example smaller ships like the Dagger, Mantis and Frontier are too small to carry an additional car module in their current guise, and would need to be either moddified in ship builder, or switched for a bigger ship, before you could get the car. That might be a realism barrier that Bethesda just didn't want to go down. I can see both sides though, it definitely would be cool to have a buildable hab for both your ships and also your outposts so you could store them

[@Ed-ealmighty]

@@mike-thegamingdad I agree but my point was the Trident hab... the only reason it's a 3x2 and not a companionway or storageway sized hab is because the mod author decided to add every workbench known to man 😆 imagine if alot of that stuff was removed i bet it would fit in a companionway or storageway sized hab... I like the Trident hab it just to damn big

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@Ed-ealmighty haha I've not seen that mod myself but I can ser what you mean that does sound on the large side 🤣🤣

[@Ed-ealmighty]

Others like the Rev-8 Rover some are turning them into star wars cars Others want Destiny 2's sparrow particularly the Dream breytech 9 sparrow in the starfield constellation or crimson fleet aesthetic But I want Nintendo's F-Zero GX customizable vehicle machines it's literally the same thing as ship building but for cars Each machine handles differently, has its own performance abilities affected by its weight, and a grip, boost, and durability trait graded on an A to E (best to worst) scale. The player is able to adjust a vehicle's balance between maximum acceleration and maximum top speed. Every machine has an energy meter, which serves two purposes. First, it is a measurement of the machine's health and is decreased from accidents or attacks from opposing enemies. Second, the player is given the ability to boost. Customize mode is divided between the Shop, Garage, and Emblem Editor. The shop is where opponent machines, custom parts for vehicle creation can be purchased. Ship parts are acquired as the player progresses through the Game either thru stolen or purchased ships. In the Garage section, players can create a machine with three custom parts or print emblems on any vehicle. The parts are divided into body, cockpit, and booster categories, and affect the vehicle's overall durability, maximum speed, cornering, and acceleration. The Emblem Editor lets players create decals. Bethesda Add custom driving Controls Everyone isn't a fan of the halo warthog driving controls I prefer need for speed most wanted (best 1 imo) u know LS Steer Click LS Horn RS Look RT Drive LT Brake RB Fire gun LB camera pov Y Flight 😆 B Boost A Handbrake X get in/out U can already change the controls but it's very limited...

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@Ed-ealmighty yeah the F-Zero customisation would be awesome! If they don't go down that route, I at least want proper customisation of these. I want to be able to switch the weapons types, upgrade them, alter the boostpack, add different armor and so on

[@Ed-ealmighty]

@@mike-thegamingdad dude I'm telling u it would blow the lid off Now imagine they started to add final fantasy spirits within New York Barrier City along with the phantoms to starfields earth Or the city of brink - another old Bethesda game - Ark City (floated on water in the middle of the ocean) to starfields earth Imagine the city of Redfall vampires and all added somewhere on starfields earth Like entire cities from other games and their enemies like from rage 1 & 2 This is what I'm waiting for

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@Ed-ealmighty yeah that would be cool and really build on this being a galaxy system full of planets with rich storylines. Best part for Bethesda is the designs are already there, and if it's something they've made they already own the assets. They just need to reproduce them for Starfield

[@Ed-ealmighty]

@@mike-thegamingdad that's when starfield has its no man's sky moment 😆

[@nozhki-busha]

Great, now we can get to the same handful of copy/paste POI instances even faster! While its impressive they managed to get a vehicle working in the Creation engine, I have seen the many failed modder attempts in the past, it isnt going to save the game from being fundamentally flawed in its core design. Short of a miracle, nothing is going to make this mid game worth returning to for me.

[@mike-thegamingdad]

@nozhki-busha that's a shame! I'll be returning to it properly eventually I think, once more stuff comes out, I like the look of Shattered Space and will play that.

[@wolfdune508]

Yeah they put this in too late it will bring back maybe 1% of the players who quit

[@screamday]

Great video! I will need to get back into Starfield and start playing with this. Once you exit the vehicle, and explore on foot, can you fast travel back to the REV-8? 😎😎

[@mike-thegamingdad]

Thanks! Yeah the vehicle receives its own map marker when you exit it, like your ship 😁. There's a new DLC coming out at the end of September, Shattered Space. I recommend watching the trailer if you haven't already done so. I'm very tempted to play that on the channel as well as it looks really good
