"The game takes place in the near future after a comet destroys most of the Earth," said Willits. "You play a character from the past who wakes up in this new future world. There was supposed to be a plan to have been enacted to restart society but that plan has gone astray. It's first your job to survive the world, to learn about the world, and then to work with the settlers and different factions to fix the problem."
With driving apparently playing such a large part of the game, we asked Willits for details on how it would work and what kind of feel the team was aiming for. "We wanted to make the driving a natural extension of your first-person avatar," said Willits. "When you're running around and you're inside completing a mission, and you're engaged in first-person action, when you leave that building or underground structure and jump into your vehicle, we want to make that as seamless as possible. So we've given the feel of the vehicle kind of a first-person feel. We made it a little more arcade-y, a little more action-focused, rather than a driving simulation."
"We know that hardcore first-person fans are not necessarily hardcore racing fans, but we feel that we've brought them together in a way that's a little bit different than what other games have done," Willits continued. "We really hope that people will accept that."
