I like to imagine the game designers were forced to play mass effect and drive the mako and Todd was standing above them yelling like Jeff Bridges in Iron Man "EA was able to build this in a cave! with a box of scraps!"
Sadly the truth is worse than that, from what I've heard Phil Spencer actually complained to Todd about the long distances and asked to include the vehicles.
It takes at least 150 hours in Starfield to really get into this game. In my opinion, you're just scratching the surface. I've over the last year put 1400 hours into the game and I just now discovered a new crew NPC that you can hire for your ship or outposts while watching your video. I can see myself playing this game for many years to come, especially with all the DLC Xpacks that BGS will create, as well as the additional content we'll receive from both free and paid mods by BGS and modders.
Agreed. I think that is one reason why Michael and I decided this would be a great game to do a Pod on, because I've been playing Fallout 3 and 4 (and New Vegas) for many many years and I still discover new things. I'm really only getting started on Starfield. -Duane
@@Normal_People Same here I've played all the Fallout games from after BGS bought it for years off and on, I can say the same about all the main PC/console Elder Scrolls games from Oblivion to ESO. BGS just does good stories IMO.
It's Rev, like " Rev your engines!". Also you can upgrade the laser damage if you perk into Lasers, heavy, and demolition perks. I read that in a loading screen so it's confirmed!
You can fast travel while overencumbered while riding a horse in SKyrim too. SO it makes sense you can while driving the rev8. It's be the buggy's engine carrying the weight for you after all. It'd be the same in real life.
My biggest question with the REV-8 is how it will fit into the Starfield lore? I honestly thought it would show up as an announcement of brand new technology being introduced to the settled systems or something similar to previous Fallout titles where you “receive a strange new transmission” But it just seems like we are supposed to act as if it has been here all along? And are we like the only person in the universe with a car? I hope there is a mod or update that adds npc vehicles randomly driving around so it doesn’t seem like we have the only vehicle in existence. Either way I love the REV-8 and I appreciate you guys always delivering an amazing podcast! ❤Thank you! 🎉 See you in the Discord 🫡
The loading screens (and the manufacturer logo on the rover) state that the REV-8 was a Nova Galactic product. Considering Nova Galactic has been defunct for many decades by 2330, it could just be that exploration-focused short-range offroad vehicles have fallen out of fashion, in favor of walkable cities, unpiloted freight vehicles, and ship travel. Other companies might still manufacture them, but it'd be a niche product that most people would have no reason to buy.
I was looking in the creations menu yesterday and there is already a Star Wars land speeder skin and faster speed + longer boost times for the buggy lol
Great video! If you do contact Todd Howard (CEO of Bethesda) please could you mention to him: (1.) The possibility of making the REV-8 modular (like the spaceships) with air / land / sea modules, and different selectable ballistic / stun / missile weapons, and storage (hopefully accessible by the spaceship cargo). Also the ability for the rover to function like a submarine in worlds with seas (with underwater bases and animals). (2.) Also modifiable Mechs which have modular components and weapons. (3.) The possibility to build space stations with modular components. (4.) With “Starfield Creation Toolkit” the ability to classify mods as “cosmetic” (quality of life such as building beautiful settlements, biodomes or terraforming which don’t alter gameplay), so you still have Achievements and other things still fully enabled like Bethesda mods. Many Thanks on behalf of Starfield players, and the future of the game!
Really wish my car worked. I have little mods on X-Box. I paid the ship tech the 25k, nothing happened. Went to another location, paid that tech and they take my money but no car. Now I have NPCs with floating heads and arms. Really don’t want to start another file. I also disabled mods and still had same problem.
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.

Now they just need to fix this "invisible" cap we have on how many mods we can have!! Why give us 99 gbs of space and only allow us to have 100 mods when there's a couple thousand. 🤦♂️😪
th-cam.com/video/7JUtx7blPVQ/w-d-xo.html As soon as the possibly of maybe enimies getting vehcles too, I thought, “OMFG, Futuristic Mad Max in a a space game. I want it all and I want it now!” Hopefully if Bethsda doesn’t make it happen that modders will step up and bring this idea to life.
Then just wait till 2-3 DLCs have been released. Their games have always been fixed and fleshed out with DLCs. And by then the large epic mods wouldve dropped

😅
EA had nothing to do with Mass Effect 1's Mako though. It was developed by Bioware and published/financed by Microsoft.
@@OneLastScholar Todd must have requested those guys from Microsoft then 😂 jk they're probably long gone

So hyped for Shattered Space!
According to the menu where you buy/select a vehicle, REV stands for: "Retrievable Exploration Vehicle".
@@Kenco1998 And someone from our Discord server posted a picture of the side of the vehicle, where is says it in small letters under the name! 🤦🏻♂️
@@Normal_People Oh wow! I didn't notice that one too! 😅
@@Kenco1998 I play a lot in 3rd person. That’s my excuse! The camera is so far away! 😅
@@Normal_PeopleI mostly play in 1st person... I have no excuse... 🥲
When Gamescon moved from Leipzig to Cologne, they didn't get the license for the name, which was retained by the convention center in Leipzig.
Very happy to have ground transportation now.

Great content, agree with all the sentiments!
I think it's Gamescom, because it's short for "Games community"!

Rev 8 like a yellow submarine. Not everyone owns those
I was looking in the creations menu yesterday and there is already a Star Wars land speeder skin and faster speed + longer boost times for the buggy lol
The game is brilliant the possibilities are endless, space stations overrun with nasty experiments would be amazing
R. Rapid
E. Exploration
V. Vehicle
You can scan flying animals and fish from FURTHER than your standard scan range
which, with the boosted scanner range from the Rover, means you can get even the most annoying fishy bois
Sarah goes meta or breaks the forth wall. I crashed and she said "i disliked that...." surely a play on the memes.
You can leave the rev-8 and walk back to your ship and it will go back on it’s on to the ship to use later.
The mod for the Rev 8 adds storage and increased damage on the weapon it's great and does not break lore
Great video!

"GamesCon" sounds like a video games salesman that I shouldn't trust 😂.
A space truck would be awesome too !
LOL Imagine being a trucker transporting resources to other POIs while being chased by giant spiders.
You literally have cargo spaceship

Listen. I’m playing starfield right now. And I love it. But. The buggy and the new dlc I feel is a little too late.
Then just wait till 2-3 DLCs have been released. Their games have always been fixed and fleshed out with DLCs. And by then the large epic mods wouldve dropped
