I hadn’t even thought of local coop free roam, but yeah, that would be fun too.
What I had thought though was why the hell don’t we meet random online people messing around, in that mode that’s basically just about messing around? Anything to make it feel less empty and boring.
I mean come on, they did random online coop in the latest actual main Mario game!
I am more familiar with Forza Horizon, which is my own comparison point, but, yeah. It’s like they missed why those were fun.
Also, those button missions. They’re slow to set up, they interrupt the flow of driving, they’re mostly easy enough you can still beat them while messing up completely and they don’t incentivize breaking records.
Compare that to speed traps and danger signs in Horizon. You see them, you speed through them, you do stupid shit. No pause, no slow as hell camera move showing you the obvious thing you’re supposed to do. It’s all organic.

Burnout Paradise did it like a decade ago
Edit went and checked, 2008… 17 years 😐

Yes! They really under utilized free roam, especially when you look at how big a deal they made out of it in the reveal trailer.
