Test Drive Unlimited 2 - Early Concept Art/Ingame Screens (not Official) [!UPDATE #5 2009-07-18]

Well if atari puts gas consumption system on the game the should make Honda Insight and Prius on the game! lol

 

That's a pretty scary thought.

[CobraDBlade]

if they put in fuel consumption, I hope that they put in a consumption rate that is variable with speed, rather than a straight rate that is independent of speed. That way if you are cruising at a slow speed your tank will last longer, rather than going at a slow speed and consuming fuel like you are going flat out.

i totally agree with you!

First and formost hello everybody I'm new here.The number one thing I want to see in the next TDU game is my beloved DMC D-12 De Lorean in game!Btw anybody know of a Delorean mod for TDU?:D

 

Well for those that are not happy about the offroad vehicles,might I remind you of this little game from 1997?

 

 

Many of you are possibly too young to remember, so we can let that slide lol.Me being from Texas,I have a love for Rally racing and off roading.I hope we see some WRX STI'S and Evos!

 

I do hope that they keep the different types of vehicles handiling charecteristics relitive to the surface they are on.Also if they include Evo's and such let us have an option to chose road tires and off road tires.:thumbsup:

 

I think that will keep us all happy.But I do agree that they should keep TDU2 as close to the original formula without breaking the game with this new concept.:cool:

[blokoman]

will you guys still play TDU1 if this comes out?

[Eudemon]

Not for a while at least anyway.

[Iced_Bullet]

I recon we will. Once TDU2 is released and online mode fails to work properly, we will revert back to TDU1 while we wait for a working patch to come soo.... urh quickish ;)

[Eudemon]

Haha that could happen but I'm hoping they have learnt from their mistakes with TDU. It's running really smooth on 360 anyway so maybe just maybe PC will goto GfWL.

[Ryzza5]

NOOOOOOOO! Not GfWL! As far as I can tell that label means that there will be no tangible online mode (unless you pay Microsoft). I have 2 GfWL titles - and on both, when I go to the multiplayer races area - none are found, no players online, nothing.

 

If TDU2 includes the TDU 1 island + a new one, I see no reason to continue playing TDU 1.

[BobbyV]

:confused: Isn't GTAIV on GfWL? And it works fine? At least it does for me.

:confused: Isn't GTAIV on GfWL? And it works fine? At least it does for me.

 

It is indeed, and it works for me too, but I've seen a lot of people complaining that it doesn't work for them. And it's generally quite a bad system, with it braking things (Fallout 3 Broken Steel DLC) and people in certain countries not able to create an account (unless they choose another country which is supported) etc. I really wouldn't like TDU2 to have it.

[Iced_Bullet]

GfWL works for me on GTA IV. Love the aesthetics of the layout too :D

 

It didn't work for me originally with GTA IV, but it was the same for everyone for 12 hours after the release until a patch was released and allowed wireless connection or something.

[blokoman]

and that ps1 game pwns ^^

[Anthony817]

and that ps1 game pwns ^^

 

Lol TD 4x4?Yes it does,I used to have it way back when in another century and life lol.:rolleyes:

[joshZELDA]

From i see, now there will be gas tank, Nice... I hope to see something of TDU2 on E3 this year!!!

[Eudemon]

Don't count on it, a lot is going on at Atari right now though there is promise of them announcing at one of their own events rather than a trade show event. Then again this is Atari (as they are known for a few more weeks or such) we are talking about.

[Baldy]

I don't think i'm alone with this, but can you explain what you mean by that post Diablo?

[Nodz86]

from what ive read else where and stuff i know that atari is going to be no more in europe or changing their name, can't remember where i read it though, might be why they ain't at e3, or not at e3 as atari as they did say they was there in other ways so ive read

[joshZELDA]

so then we have to wait to see some related to TDU in another trade show event...

I just hope to see some new screenshots or a video...

But what have you read, i'm still none the wiser.

*walks in*

 

Reads the latest posts

 

*brain hurts*

 

Is anyone going to help us fathom this out?

[Judasneon]

http://www.e3expo.com/content/1146/exhibitor-list/

 

If you look at the list for the trade exhibitors you will also see that Codemasters is not listed???????

They have Dirt 2 coming out as well as other stuff so why not listed?

[Eudemon]

Atari will be no more in Europe, Atari will only be Atari in North America as an online distributor (iirc). Namco Bandai are exercising the right to fully own Distribution Partners (DP) the company Atari Europe setup to handle it's own and others distribution across Europe and PAL regions (I think). Namco Bandai bought a 34% stake in DP last year are now set to buy the remaining 66% of DP and wholly own it.

 

Atari London (UK) will still have a main office and the Atari Europe staff will have jobs with whatever the newly renamed company becomes known as. Infogrames is still alive and well but to be honest I have no real idea what is going beyond what I have just said. For example we don't know will happen to the Atari forums, websites etc (maybe a rebrand?) and also there is not much known about what effects if any this will have on other items such as inhouse devs, IP's etc...

 

Check out MCVUK if you want to know more.

[Baldy]

So they are rebranding?

[Ryzza5]

Yeah it's a real shame there's no Atari at E3, and in their explanation why, no mention about Test Drive at all.

 

Hopefully by the time I finish playing FUEL there'll be more good news
