Anyone else getting a strong Batmobile vibe from the Nomad?

That would be amazing! It doesn't need a tank mode, like the Batmobile, but at least a main gun would be nice! I always loved doing takedowns with the Batmobile doing an assist! One of the coolest things I've ever seen in any video game.

It looks like the no-weapon Mako to me. :/

The latest IGN video even reinforced that impression. It's just less bouncy while being much better at scaling slopes.

I was actually a bit surprised how bouncy it was in that IGN video. It wasn't over-the-top like the Mako, but I would have assumed such a heavy vehicle wouldn't rock back and forth so much. Perhaps those are just low gravity planets? Either way, I was mostly impressed by what I saw in that video. Road kill is always fun!

Though one thing that diminished my enjoyment of car chases was how utterly destructive the Batmobile was; it felt like I was doing more damage to the city than the bad guys. Also the streets weren't really busy, as the city was evacuated -- another factor that really hurt the game, I think. I feel like the Riddler racing tracks were a little over the top as well.

I have to say, though, I really liked driving the 1989 Tim Burton Batmobile (the only bit of DLC I bought); that was the first film I'd ever seen in a theater, and I was a huge fan.

Agreed! I will do my utmost best to break the Nomad and do stunts I probably shouldn't do! I'm bringing Tony Hawk Pro Skater to Mass Effect!!!

In fairness, a lot of the destruction could be avoided as long as you didn't purposely run into things. I actually made an effort to try to avoid causing too much damage, which made driving a bit more engaging and challenging. I wasn't referring so much to there being a lot of civilians around (obviously there were out), but the amount of mercs and criminals you could find in some parts of the city. I agree the Riddler tracks were rather silly and lackluster.

I enjoyed all the various Batmobiles you could drive in the game. I always wanted the ability to drive every single one, and the Tim Burton Batmobile was definitely one of the highlights out of all of them. Rocksteady really did a great job recreating all of those Batmobiles as well as their accompanying Bat suits.

Remember that old issue of DC comics where The Penguin got ran over by Batman in his fucking tank?...

No but I found the tank/batmobile bits to be some of the worst parts of Arkham Knight. Its one of those things which sounds awesome on paper, but just doesnt work all that well in reality. See when i think of Batman i think of a detective, martial artist etc.. not a tank commander. The batmobile was only ever a point A to B transportation, idk why Rocksteady made it take up so much of the game. A big mistake there.

Regarding Andromeda, i hope it avoids such pitfalls with the Nomad. See the Nomad could easily become like the Arkham Knight batmobile/tank. I think the Nomad should rather be a tool in your arsenal, a tool in your utility belt as it were~, and not an integral linchpin of gameplay. Thats gonna get repetitive, all meh and old quick if it is so. Hopefully they can avoid that.

I wouldn't mind. Out of all the imaginary vehicles I've driven, that one made me feel the least inept.

Only by degrees, though. I really hope they don't over use it as much as Arkham Knight did.

Considering how much they abused that combat in AK, I think this is a good thing. 

Speaking of 'mobiles'; No Man's Sky just got a vehicle update:

Just accept that Batman is a peace-hating psycho who may as well be a terrorist and BioWare knows what they're doing.

yeah I see big similarities but batmobile is armed this is biggest difference. now funny opposition thing.

Batman = unarmed batmobile = Heavy Armed
Andromeda Inc. = crew Heavy Armed = Nomad unarmed
