Star Wars Outlaws doesn't let you freely fire your blaster while riding your speeder bike, and now we know why

Destiny had the same thing… If you could shoot from the Sparrow there’d be no reason to do anything else.

    The other part of this decision is just that if we made it so that you can free-aim and shoot from the speeder then we’d also have to then make the speeder drive nicely when you’re not looking forward, which is actually a really hard thing

      It’s pretty shit on controller to have to drive and aim at the same time. Keyboard also has its issues as you only have wasd for movement.

      I mean, go ahead and implement it if you think “That’s pretty hard to do, so we opted not to put significant development resources into one feature” is a poor excuse. If the team is working under pressure already, they’ll have to prioritise and I assume this got shoved down the lst.
