Just watched "Apollo 13", now I want to drive on the moon.

[GT5 Level 41]

Thanks Kaz.

 

[JTB10000]

Okay...

 

[smskeeter23]

Ok, well Kaz isn't stopping you.

 

[Grayfox]

It's NASA or O2 tanks that are stopping you.

 

[NICKname]

It's NASA or O2 tanks that are stopping you.

Well that, and Apollo 13 never had a moon buggy.

I guess I'm glad Kaz didn't totally waste his development time making gimmicks that no one will play more than once?

Remember watching that at the cinema all those years ago, great film. Having the Moon in the game is interesting I guess.

 

[Wiegert]

Well that, and Apollo 13 never had a moon buggy.

Or even landed on the moon, of course.

Plenty of "human drama" though.

 

[Rod Carvalho]

Watch Apollo 18
They drive the moon rover there.

Would be more interesting if it would be possible to drive there with any car in arcade mode.

Yeah, like this...

This thread makes me wanna repeat Lunar Missions. Can`t remember the fun factor?

 

[tuj]

Cone challenge on the moon; loved it.

 

[Skyline_77]

I personally quite liked the Moon challenges. Not so much the mission at hand, but off-roading in that buggy doing huge jumps and flips. The atmosphere itself of course is great too.

 

[Astro_BS-AS]

Quite fun driving

And quite different from what NASA shows... Oh, wait... Wrong forum for that...

 

[chzsln485]

I actually have Apollo 13 on HD DVD, and was literally the only film I watched on the XBox 360's HD DVD Player expansion. Just thought that was a faintly interesting anecdote.

A few months ago, I was watching an anime called "Space Brothers" set about 10 years in the future. One of the plotlines involved a lunar rover excursion where the characters discuss how, because there's no reference points, it's difficult to tell the distance of the topography. Doing the lunar missions reminded me of it. Both the series and the game got technical advice from JAXA, Japan's national aerospace agency. The show also has the distinction of having the first voice acting recorded from space.

Tomorrow I will make a thread:
"Just watched the "Fast and the Furious", now I want to drive a car."

 

[sumbrownkid]

Make sure to bring snacks with you.

 

[SnakeOfBacon]

Watch the movie Moon
You'll never, EVER, want to drive on the moon again.
That said, it is a really, really good movie, so you should watch it regardless.

What atmosphere?

 

[MustangCobra95]

Was a thread really necessary for this?

 

[Monatsende]

Tomorrow I will make a thread:
"Just watched the "Fast and the Furious", now I want to drive a car."

I`m waiting. And I guess I will watch "Bram Stoker`s Dracula" soon...

You mean that thing I played once, took a screenshot, and will likely never, ever play again unless they unlock the payouts? That was definitely a worthwhile investment of development time and resources over, say, race features including those that were already present in GT5 (shuffle races, one-make practice races, optional mechanical damage in practice, etc).
