We jumped in a buggy and hit the gas toward Wellspring, a large town to the east. Along the way, we shot at a couple of bandits on wheels with our nimble but well-armed ride. We made short work of the bandits, so after their vehicles exploded, we were back on our way. This portion of the game felt more like an arcade-style arena battle, as the buggies swerved to dodge fire and stay on course. Willits didn't go into too much detail regarding the vehicle portion of the game other than to mention that you can compete in races to win certificates and cash them in to upgrade your buggy or win better vehicles. We were told that the world is yours to explore and that you can always travel by foot if you want or drive off into the distance without even bothering to stop at a nearby town. However, you can always kill bandits for money by talking to Sally the bartender at Wellspring, so it's up to you to decide how you want to spend your time. Willits described the game as "open but directed," which give players the choice to do what they like or follow the set path to progress through the story. You can spend dozens of hours driving around if you like to in order to build up your car and get yourself ranked on the leaderboards. No details were given at this time in regards to any of the multiplayer functionality, however.
