ATARI TO TRANSFORM ONLINE RACING WITH

TEST DRIVE® UNLIMITED 2

 

Join Thousands of Players Online, Race the Worlds

Most Coveted Cars, and Live the Ultimate Luxury Lifestyle

New York, NY (March 3rd, 2010) – Atari, SA, one of the world’s most recognized videogame publishers, and much-acclaimed developer Eden Games, are proud to announce the newest installment in the legendary racing franchise with Test Drive® Unlimited 2 for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC.

 

Test Drive Unlimited 2 expands on the traditional racing experience providing gamers with M.O.O.R.®: Massively Open Online Racing®; immersing drivers in a persistent online environment and revolutionizing multiplayer racing communities as players compete, team up, and share their achievements and creations online. Unlike any other driving game, TDU2 blends the open world experience with realistic vehicles and performance dynamics and for the first time, TDU2 features vehicle damage, weather effects, day and night cycles, and a brand new island to explore.

 

The first Test Drive® Unlimited innovated the racing genre with an immersive online and offline experience - over 1 million players created online accounts. Test Drive Unlimited 2 blends the single player and multiplayer experiences seamlessly, creating a dynamic world of unique content and challenges. Test Drive Unlimited 2 is “always live,” with automatic updates and seamless online/offline integration. A revamped single player narrative mode can be played offline or as part of the multiplayer experience.

 

“After the highly successful Test Drive Unlimited which redefined the genre with massively open online racing, Test Drive Unlimited 2 will be an innovative evolution in racing games, expanding its unparalleled multiplayer experience and immersing players in a world full of new online content and lifestyle customization.” said Jeff Lapin, CEO of Atari, SA. “The game fits squarely into our strategy of moving online and generating new revenue streams while maintaining our current retail business.”

 

 

Test Drive Unlimited 2 puts the world’s most desirable vehicles in the players hands. These ultra-limited edition masterpieces are flawlessly replicated with Eden’s finely tuned driving technology. Players define their online persona through the customization of their vehicles, and the acquisition of property, clothing and all the accoutrements of a luxurious car-based lifestyle. The challenge comes to life with the most expansive and comprehensive multiplayer offering on the console and the ultimate refinement of the core Test Drive driving experience. All-new race types, vehicle classes, environmental challenges, locations and much more push this epic franchise to new levels of performance and luxury.

I've said it in the various other threads (made by people who get out of bed before Diablo :P ) that this news excites me. The environment looks good and the focus on supercars rather than buggy's is reassuring.

 

It's been an uncertain ride to this point, what with scares the project could have been canned and hearing nothing for so long.

Right, now the cynic in me is coming out, one thing I did notice....

 

“The game fits squarely into our strategy of moving online and generating new revenue streams while maintaining our current retail business"

 

What new revenue streams?

 

In game advertising? online download packs? Subscription based online for PC?

All-new race types, "vehicle classes", environmental challenges, locations and much more push this epic franchise to new levels of performance and luxury.

 

I really hope this means that SUV's & off road vehicles will still be included in the game. They haven't been mentioned much lately & im getting worried.

Monthly online subscription was my first thought.

 

For us 360 types I doubt we'd be subjected to that.

 

Awesome!

Maybe I'll use my Xbox again when this makes an appearance.

 

Do you still know how to turn it on? :P

 

I just got myself to leave TDU:C, but as TDU2 is now officially anounced, i came back

There's a down side to everything eh.. :nanananana:
