This video is a weird thing to show off, what with the assy bitrate and it being like b-roll with missing voiceover and no music. Just noticed the cop car coming tumbling down the weeds at 2:05. Those vans don't need to be driving on the sidewalk, but they did anyway, because that's fun. The chase AIs proclivity for enhancing the chaos is welcome. This really looks like the kind of game that would benefit from shenanigans though, like the stunts and contextual hit reactions from True Crime or airjacking and vehicle checking from Wheelman. But maybe it'll succeed in being engaging not directly through the handling, but through it basically accommodating for engaging with whatever obstacles and situations you have to deal with. I want things to feel dynamic, where I have to engage with the physics and mechanics of driving. To me that tends to translate to flat and static driving. The player easily being in control seems to have been the focus, just point the front where you want at will. So it's not completely disconnected, but still lacks a physical connection that would make me actually enjoy driving these vehicles. There's like, some sense of abiding somewhat by some laws of physics that drift looked pretty good, and the buggies going up on two wheels on sharp turns shows weight transfer. Doesn't look particularly exciting nor bad. This video obviously has bitrate issue, criticizing a game's image quality based on compressed video makes little sense.
