Test Drive Unlimited 2

[Sleinous]

Thoughts? Is anyone going to buy it? personally, I can't wait I still play TDU1, it was such a great game and the sequel looks absolutely magnificent.

 

[Matt]

Can you tell me a little bit about it?

 

[Meds]

I can honestly say I've never heard of the Test Drive Unlimited series. MisterDave is our racing enthusiast - maybe he has?

Also my YT channel has a few vids of TDU1 for you to watch Youtube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/Sleinous

TDU2 site has vids of teh upcoming game.

You buy cars, compete in races, challenges etc in a M.O.O.R. environment (massively open online racing) where you will encounter other players driving around the Island it's based on

Hmmm, sounds like a cool idea. Kinda reminds me of Need For Speed Underground 2. I'll take a look at your vids.

I love the MOOR bit, it really takes the game that little bit further. Apart from the detail on the cars which was exceptional on TDU and is even better in TDU2 with damage modelling and moving accessories.

EDIT: Sorry about the quality but some were done on my old GeForce 8400M GT and even the ones on my GTX 470 arent great because HD is liek a 1GB file to upload, which, takes a mighty long while xD

I have TDU1 on PC and 360 and love it but it never went far enough, by the looks of things it will be fixed in TDU2 and i cant wait lol have it pre-ordered already and I'm signed up for beta - will be top game

 

[Sleinous]

=D same signed up for beta, havent preordered yet because im waiting for what Amazon.co.uk will be releasing (bonus-wise)

 

[PCRepair]

any ideas on specs that are gonna be needed? I have TDU 1 as well and I am looking forward to this one. I actually only every got to 90% complete on both PC and 360 versions, my eldest lad thought he would have a go one day and went and started a new gam on the 360 version ;(

Nice vids

[Sleinous]

I know right? It looks beautiful XD

 

[LDUK]

I'm not to sure. Looks too arcadey to me.

 

[Sleinous]

Oh trust me, its the complete opposite lol. Handling is where they EXCEL! There wern't any damage models in TDU1 which should tell you something, and damage modelling is only just starting in TDU2. In H mode each car handles very differently and are equally tough to keep to the road if you're really going mad with them.

 

[Zeplini]

besides the driving im really looking forward to the improved social aspect of the game, cant wait for this one - shame im away on my hols at release.....

 

[Sleinous]

Hehe dont worry ill have a mountain of vids at the ready for you while ur away on ur travels

 

[Midgetboytom]

wow i totally forgot about this game!!! always used to just do the basically drag race one with the pagani zonda for 40k every 5 mins haha definitely preordering this!!!!

also loving the look of the offroad bit, definitely missing from the first game

 

[Al.Neri]

I'm tempted, even though I've never played the franchise before.

 

[misterdave]

misterdave's 2p worth.

TDU was ok, bit random looking forward to this one although has now been put back to Q1 2011. very arcade style was the old one. Not a massive fan of arcade driving but this does look great.

[Sleinous]

yeah, well gives them time to iron out the bugs I dont find it hugely arcade, especially when you have H mode on, what was missing was damage modelling in the last one.
