This is amazing... this alone would add hours of content with mostly existing resources.
Badass gaming I award you 50 internet's for this proof of concept. Bravo.
Edit: a lot of people mentioned area transfers being a problem. My solution would be to lower map textures at these points to minimize the load in. You'd get terrain pop and fuzzy maps for a few seconds but it would minimize the chance of getting loading stuck.
This is an old trick used by lots of games. (Borderlands for instance). It lets the system prioritize what gets loaded first and maintains gameplay at the cost of graphical fidelity.
Edit2: The vid made it into the weekly update! Woo!!!

Bump for later
-
And it would give puerile a reason spend on sparrow upgrades and raid get raid sparrows
-
Bump.

Since destiny is supposed to feel like an open world game, It would be cool if you would randomly encounter a group of guardians racing each other while they fly past you while you carry out your missions. Maybe in a feature update or destiny 2 for the Xbox one and ps4.
-
Ya sure isn't their a game like that already? Its called Mario carts right?
-
They should add this.
-
Definitely a must have
-
What about sparrow gunfights with a teammate on your sparrow (totally does not sound wrong) and shoots other people off for points?
-
Has Anyone seen my brother HAL-9000?
-
PS4 already has a sparrow racing league....
-
Are you watching bungie??....
-
And you can be rewarded sparrows, upgrades, and sparrow shaders
-
Thats a great idea and anyway, why would bungie add in sparrows with greater speed or better stats when that mean nothing
-
Gr8 b8 m8

BUMPITTY -blam!-ING BUMP
-
Looks cool but they should integrate the ships first they are totally useless.
-
Bungie should definitely consider expanding the variety of activities to do in destiny. And I agree sparrow racing would be a good start. Like how final fantasy had chocobo racing
-
Oh god no!!!! The sparrow is the stupidest thing in the game, every time I ride it I ask myself who came up this this crap!!! It's the future, we can travel through space and time, but my little sparrow flips over because there is a little rock on the road...???!! No, please, we have to spend to much time on these stupid things anyway, please don't integrate it more into gameplay...
-
Fuk a sparrow. Let us use our ships for once.
-
Should be in a raid
-
I think this would be amazing
-
But I already have wipeout.... and I don't even play that. There's no way this would be as good as wipeout, so there's no way I'd play it.
-
we are guardians, task with save the universe from darkness. not the have fun. Just joking =P If they can do a sparrow race without glitches and everything I'd love to play.
-
Need better sparrow stats Acceleration Top speed Breaking Handling Mods Maybe even add gears that will seperate the boys from the men

Edited by WELSHA08: 4/10/2015 7:51:10 AMShould be a tag team thing, one guy drives the other shoots the other racers. Heavy and special ammo at certain parts of map could be like power ups, supers would be tweaked but remain largely intact.

Me and my brother had this discussion yesterday, saying that a race mode would be a good and fun idea
