Test Drive Unlimited 2 Development Status?

Updated the first post with some interesting info from a former AI Programmer at Eden who worked mainly on the PS3 version by the sound of it.

i think we should all forget about the sequel till an official release date is given and play the 1st game instead :P

 

*yes i'm being cheeky

Something that i dont like about this, is, if you read somethings it appears that a couple of guys were fired or left the job ( well it doesnt say exactly that but it says that they "worked" on a project called TDU2), could be this the reason of the delay?

A lot of companies have what are called internships whereby they take in graduates and such who are just out of University or training with another company and out them to work. It's funny to see the amount of ex-Eden staff who are now at Ubisoft in fact so they must be doing something right. :cheeky:

 

You are right that a group of employees were released a while ago though however they started advertising for people shortly after this.

 

Also don't forget Atari have had a fairly good time recently so money isn't as sparse as it was before. Also don't forget that Namco Bandai are only the distributor, they not only distribute Atari titles but also they will be doing the new Fallout game.

 

Namco Bandai are a Games Publisher

 

Namco Bandai Partners EU are the Distribution group that used to be Distribution Partners that was owned by Atari Europe.

 

Confusing I know but I've seen people mention NB as being part of the issue when it's simply not true.

So in few words they are more busy releasing new games and that's why TDU2 hasnt appeared yet?

If I'm wrong correct me

PD: Sorry if i answer a bit late is because im on holidays ^^

Not really, more like work and development is still ongoing within Eden on TDU sequel and they aren't ready to show it yet as well as they (Atari) are working hard on their other new IP's and projects like Star Trek Online which could be huge for them if they do it right and listen to those who are paying for it.

I'm disappointed I really hope this game turns out to destroy every other racing game.
