But it's also a big factor in how you approach many of our open world activities. 'It's true that the world looks varied and beautiful anywhere you drive. 'I believed firmly early on in the project that we add a full 24-hour time of day cycle,' Ho says. The day/night cycle, which was absent from the perpetual nighttime races of the previous game, should also serve to enhance the world-and in ways that are not just cosmetic.

'We have ideas for adding even more, should our fans want them,' Ho teases.

Ho even suggested that could expand following the game's released. He says there are more than 400 in all currently, which will help the world to feel like a real, dense location. Payback's 'vast' open world, Fortune Valley, is comprised of events, activities, and collectibles to take part in, which Ho refers to as points of interest. You're given some level of flexibility in choosing your path from point to point-what Ho refers to as 'color outside the lines'-but you won't be cutting across vast swaths of land as you can in, for example, certain Forza Horizon 3 events. Races will restrict you to racing from checkpoint to checkpoint 'for easy navigation and fair competition,' Ho says. That journey with your choices and your discoveries is your story.' To paraphrase cliché, the journey is as interesting as the destination. 'It's the real-world fantasy of exploring aimlessly, finding other car lovers, discovering beautiful places, taking snapshots, sharing stories. 'I firmly believe that people who love their cars want to be in their cars all the time,' Ho tells GameSpot.
