Adam and Joe have recently spent lots of their Astroneer windfall on fancy exotic cars and became frustrated that the rover did not handle as well as their imported luxury vehicles. While the player experience was a contributing factor in the decision to improve the rover, the main motivator was complaining from System Era employees Adam and Joe.
#Astroneer steam vr update
The aches and pains of players as a result of using the old rover have not gone unnoticed by the development team, as a new trailer for the update offers a healthy bit of self-deprecation from System Era. In the past, players that managed to construct the rover were treated to a vehicle that, while mostly functional, could be considered a turd sandwich. The fruits of System Era’s labor have arrived for owners in the form of the Rover Update.Īrriving this afternoon for Steam and Xbox ‘Play Anywhere’ users, the Rover Update overhauls rover handling, physics, and controls. Since that last major content update, the fellas over at System Era have been busy improving the experience of using the game’s rover (with a small detour to visit with us at GDC 2018). Back in February, the early access title saw a massive overhaul to many of its systems with the Basebuilding Update. The galactic basebuilding/terraforming/science adventure known as Astroneer continues to rocket towards completion.
