Test Drive Unlimited 2 is an upcoming racing video game developed by Eden Games and published by Atari. It will be the sequel to Test Drive Unlimited and the tenth game in the series. Its development was confirmed on N4G.com in February of 2008.[1]

 

On 2 December 2008, Atari stated in a press conference that various series, including Test Drive, would be revisited after 2009.[2]

 

In December 2009, it was found in a CV of a developer that Test Drive High Life is in development.[3] It was later revealed that Test Drive High Life was a internal name to Test Drive Unlimited 2. [4]

 

On 3 March 2010, Atari announced that Test Drive Unlimited 2 would be released in the fourth quarter of 2010.[5] Atari have also announced that Test Drive Unlimited 2 will feature dynamic weather effects, day & night cycles and vehicle damage. They have also mentioned that the game will feature an all new island to explore but they have yet to reveal the location of the game enviornment or if it will be based on any real world locations.

 

[edit] Features

Off-Road cars.

Dynamic weather.

Day/Night cycle.

Vehicle damage.

I've just had a thought.....for the location, who says it'll be tropical or always have warm weather most of the year? What about a Island off Japan or somthing, it could have snow...and some of the roads would be good for Touge!:)

 

Or, why have a real island? They could just take fetures for everyones liking and mash it to toeather? Sunny beaches, Snowy mountion tops, twisting roads....you get the idea!

 

Also with cars, people saying about Honda....although they did have cars to fit the TDU idea(i guess tis is iffrent from person to person) like the S2000 and NSX, the new genration of cars dont seem to fit it for me...even the CR-Z! Although i'd have no objections if they added them in along with Toyota, FT86 and MR2(AW11 or SW20) could battle the CR-Z and S2000 retrospectivly!:)

 

As i said, just thoughs....

[sirNemanjapro]

When is car list being released?

[And3rs]

I think i have a game from 2002 with working spoilers, so TDU2 should have them...

[Kinder]

Release date(s) Q4 2010. so when does Q4 starts and when does it ends?So we may guess the release date

[carlos_69]

As long as the Austin Mini is in the game, I don't care about anything else. Wouldn't be bothered if there was just a single road!

Mellors you are tottaly right it has to have the Austin Mini and also the VW Beetle, the rest i don't care.

[me™]

Would have been cool with a little feature mode like... Some drivers are on a parking lot or an open space and one car is going to hit one of the other cars. Then for the car who gets hit has to hit any of the other cars. This will continue until there are no more cars left cause of car damage. The one that is the smartest will most likely be the last man standing and will win the prize (money or the losers cars).

In south of Norway we call it tikken (as in tick someone, if its an english word for it), but its an childgame. Maybe for cars and TDU it could be called Bumper mode.

 

That, my friend, is called demolition derby! :D

 

That would be epic in really expensive supercars like Murcielagos and the like...

[Penfold]

I think i have a game from 2002 with working spoilers, so TDU2 should have them...

 

I'd love there to be working spoilers, vents on the murcielago and just general moving car parts like that. It's one of the only things that was disappointing about Forza 3.

Release date(s) Q4 2010. so when does Q4 starts and when does it ends?So we may guess the release date

Err, Q4 is the last quarter of the year. It's October, November, December. :P

NFS Porsche has them and it was released in 2000. :p

[Who]

Err, Q4 is the last quarter of the year. It's October, November, December. :P

 

It's not, when companies refer to Q4 of a year they mean the financial year, which I think ends in march. most autumn releases are Q3.

 

anyway, I wouldn't beleive the Q4 2010 thing, simply on the basis that wikipedia is ALWAYS wrong.

I don't think that's true, I think it refers to the calendar year.

This agrees with me :P

[Eudemon]

Umm they said Autumn/Fall 2010 so September, October or November. Some sites took that to mean Q4 which it doesn't, and you're both right with your interpretations also.

[ScoobSTi]

...simply on the basis that wikipedia is ALWAYS wrong...

 

I strongly disagree with people that say Wikipedia is wrong. Sure you can edit the page, but there has to be people that work for the company and monitor certain topics. If Wikipedia is ALWAYS wrong, what if there was a Wiki on Google or something? I doubt it's always wrong.

 

Anyway, The Q4 thing questions me, but the link Nauraushaun posted seems to help a bit.

I'm guessing by "ALWAYS" he either like may other hates wiki for its incorrect information, which it definetly has, or has never found a good use for it.

 

Wiki is ok if you are careful. Topic such as history etc are fine as long as they are not related to religion. And the bigger stories (e.g JFK shooting) will be correct as they are monitored.

 

Always check the *last edited* date.

[Who]

Saying it is always wrong was tongue in cheek humour

 

That said, I only ever use wikipedia as a springboard for legitimate sources, last time i was checking wikipedia (about the guardian newspaper) the history section said, and I quote...

 

THE GUARDIAN IS NOW BANKRUPT AND NO LONGER EXISTS THE GUARDIAN IS NOW BANKRUPT AND NO LONGER EXISTS THE GUARDIAN IS NOW BANKRUPT AND NO LONGER EXISTS THE GUARDIAN IS NOW BANKRUPT AND NO LONGER EXISTS THE GUARDIAN IS NOW BANKRUPT AND NO LONGER EXISTS THE GUARDIAN IS NOW BANKRUPT AND NO LONGER EXISTS

 

Ok, sometimes it's ok, but it should never be used as a legitimate source on its own merits

[HOAX]

That, my friend, is called demolition derby! :D

Not quite right because in demolition derby or destruction derby everyone crashes into each other at det same time. In what I explained you are more chased around on the open space and for the "ticken-guy", he should try to hit you where you get most damage without getting so much damage him self.

But yeah, there are some simularities.

 

Destruction Derby was som great games btw.. :D

[Immelmann]

Q4? I figure we should see it in 2012 then. Oh, wait, Hollywood says we'll all be dead. Best reinstall TDU then...

[iLLGT3]

Ok, so which one will we see first;

 

Test Drive Unlimited 2

 

OR

 

Gran Turismo 5

 

--

For me, that's a hard decision to make.. I think GT5 will. :P But I guess that's a bad question because a fanboy will probably bash GT5...

http://twitter.com/tdu2 links to an article published by Kotaku.com and in that article it says it will be out this fall, which means between august and october. Let's hope so :)

 

EDIT: Fall is between 7. august and 16. november according Wikipedia.

WTFRU talking about? :oook:

 

it says:

 

Meteorological: 1 September – 30 November

Astronomical: Autumnal equinox (22-23 September) – Winter solstice (21–22 December)

Always read the full sentence....

 

You ment:

Autumn starts on or around 8 August and ends on about 7 November in traditional East Asian solar term.

The english description of season times on Wikipedia is explained in a more complicated way and it also depends where you live and which tradition you use.

 

In the Norwegian description it says:

 

Astronomiske årstider

 

Ut fra det som er forklart over om jordens bane rundt solen, og dersom vi definerer sommeren som den lyseste og varmeste årstiden og vinteren som den mørkeste og kaldeste, vil de astronomiske årstidene bli som følger:

 

• Vår. Fra ca. 5. februar til ca. 6. mai. (midtpunkt=vårjevndøgn=ca.21. mars)
  
• Sommer. Fra ca. 7. mai til ca. 6. august. (midtpunkt=sommersolverv=ca.21. juni)
  
• Høst. Fra ca. 7. august til ca. 16. november. (midtpunkt=høstjevndøgn=ca.23. september)
  
• Vinter. Fra ca. 17. november til ca. 5. februar. (midtpunkt=vintersolverv=ca.22. desember)
  

Til enkelte formål deles også året inn i to deler, sommerhalvåret og vinterhalvåret. Den astronomiske inndeling vil da bli:

 

• Sommerhalvåret. Fra vårjevndøgn (ca.21. mars) til høstjevndøgn (ca. 23. september).
  
• Vinterhalvåret. Fra høstjevndøgn til vårjevndøgn.

English translation (Google Translator):

 

Astronomical seasons

 

From what is explained above about the Earth's orbit around the sun, and if we define summer as the lightest and warmest time of year and winter as the darkest and coldest, the astronomical seasons will be as follows:

 

* Spring. From approx. 5. February to approx. 6. May. (midpoint = equinox = ca.21. March)

* Summer. From approx. 7. May to approx. 6. August. (midpoint = summer = ca.21. June)

* Autumn. From approx. 7. August to approx. 16. November. (midpoint = autumn equinox = ca.23. September)

* Winter. From approx. 17. November to approx. 5. February. (midpoint = winter solstice = ca.22. December)

 

For some purposes the year is divided into two parts, summer and winter. The astronomical section will then be:

 

* During the summer months. From the spring equinox (ca.21. March) to autumn equinox (around September 23).

* Winter season. From the autumn equinox to spring equinox.

 

-----------

EDIT:

 

Meteorological (Translated from Wikipedia.no):

* Winter = december, january, february

* Spring = march, april, may

* Summer = june, july, august

* Autumn = september, october, november

 

Half-year season (Translated from Wikipedia.no):

* Summer half-year from ca. 16. april to ca. 17. october.

* Winter half-year from ca. 18. october to ca. 15. april.

 

 

It doesn't say which solar term/tradition we use but it says this is what most uses exept from some tropical and subtropical zones.

Tropical zones are places where non of the 12 months sinks below +18 °C (average through the month). Tropical areas are around equator.

Subtropical zones are places where the warmest month never goes below +20 °C and the winter is mild and does not last for long. Subtropical areas are: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Subtropics.png
