From OXM and GI:
"n regards to open world exploration, points of interest and other title comparisons:

    "It's an open-world experience that we recognise, but one that doesn't aim for Assassin's Creed's map-saturating, no-effort points of interest. it's more a case that wherever you go, something's always happening, or you can make something happen. every time you think you're heading off to do one thing, you'll likely end up being distracted by something entirely different.

No flying vehicles like the Gyrocopter.
When you get the Magnum Opus it's pretty much a skeleton. Avalanche want you to create your own ultimate car and war machine and that doesn't necessarily equate to upgrading every part with the best possible upgrade. There's no optimal car.
OXM's thoughts on the driving:

    That feeling, that in among the usual tangle of open-world systems sits a proper driving game, is our favourite part of Mad Max so far. the cars are meticulously designed, with an incredible focus on the handling model and real-world physics of each one. Well-armoured vehicles are more sluggish, but ram with devastating force and become harder to roll. Faster, more vulnerable cars will suffer from direct contact, but make using secondary weapons (handled by chumbucket in the back, with ultra slow-motion added to help your aim) feel more efficient and valuable.

    where most open-world car chases devolve into scrappy,hard-to-control, one-on-one contests,avalanche has made something that feels more akin to the films the game is based on – drawn-out, adrenaline-rush gauntlets that have you sideswiping enemies into scenery, bursting tyres, avoiding hijackers and finally, triumphantly, watching your target explode in a huge cloud of scrap – which can then be used to make your car even better.

Ammo is scarce so when you engage enemies it's mostly hand to hand combat but again you can use shivs along with clubs and other weapons you can disarm of enemies or find laying around. Max isn't Batman so he can't just vault across a room to take people out so evasion along with blocking is needed and some enemies are just too tough to scrap with. For those guys you'll need to either lure them in to traps or simply wait for them to be exhausted.
You can build up and upgrade Max. Learn more combat moves and abilities like executions, find and upgrade his gear and more."

At last count there's over 200 unique locations in the wasteland including the camps.

from game informer:

"    First Person mode for driving is quite something. It was originally implemented to give players another choice of playing but is something that took off really well and has been worked on since Game Informer tried it.
    Yeah, the Wasteland you're in is Australia...without saying it's Australia. lol
    No aerial vehicles. Just ground based.
    You can customize and upgrade Max like his jacket and other gear. You change Max's appearance like hairstyles or beards.
    Max's shotgun and the sniper rifle on the Opus are the only firearms you wield.
    Finding points of interest with require to actually find them, they don't just magically appear on your map.
    Chumbucket isn't the only sidekick or companion that will help Max over the course of the game.
    They were cagey on if or how long you could drive the legendary Black on Black V8 Interceptor. They said it had to be "earned" so it looks like you can get or build the car again despite losing it at the beginning of the game.
    There are no "safe zones" in the game and even settlements or hideouts have to be "earned", IE freed from enemy occupation and upgraded.
    They had no clue about "The Road Warrior" DLC that Sony announced at E3 2013 during the game's reveal. Of course that would be my question I submitted and doesn't get a answer! lol
    Big E3 presence. So looks like we might not get any new footage until June though..
