Test Drive Unlimited 2 Announced!!

Ryzza5 · July 3, 2010

Thanks for the extra info

If Eden is reading this, then yes - game modes/tournaments on the circuits would be good (there are probably a hundred people or so still driving around O'ahu Raceway right now), and yes, the car management in TDU1 was not good. I've often purchased a car twice because I couldn't spot it in my unsorted car list via the house. (In noob mode you could start a race and sort alphabetically). If I buy a car, the game should ask me where I want to store my other car, not just pick one at random. I should be able to reserve garages so that only Ferrari's can be stored there, for example. When I list the cars to pick one, I should be able to sort by name, class, power, etc, just like when entering a race.

I also hope the photomode is improved so that you don't litter my hard disk with '.small' files as well. The lossy jpeg files were also annoying - go for high-quality png files, even if that means my Photos folder becomes larger than the actual game installation folder :)

Finally!!! Some official info about the Engine sounds!!

11. Are there going to be high quality engine-sounds and driving behavior?

About the driving experience, the cardynamics have been totally rebuild from the start, as the TDU1 handling was sometimes weird and we had many comments on it. The new core system is more ‘solid’, it allows us to provide a big range of driving behaviors, according to the real car characteristics. Carsounds have been re-edited with new samples, taken from real cars.

Yeah! Improved photomode! And no collectors edition so I can preorder it happily now :)

Thanks for the info, +rep

Some good new news there, I'd like to be able to sort the cars easier though. It was a pain trying to find certain cars when you have a lot.

CLR-GTR · July 3, 2010

Ye well sofar they said there won't be anything like that, unless community feedback shows they will...

It's quite odd. I know they can't forfill all requests but didn't stuff like fuel and better sorting belong to the group of most requested features and improvements?

Seems the players will have to push the fuel and sorting through at Eden.

Eudemon · July 3, 2010

Yeah as one thing that was mentioned was that people wanted the ability to place their cars and bikes where they wanted. So much so that they made examples of being able to have a Ferrari garage, a Lamborghini garage, US muscle and a bike garage etc.

drivefast · July 3, 2010

I think too we should push the sorting factor, it was big problem in TDU and in TDU 2 with more Houses and more Cars you have no chance to find a car quick.

I dont understand why they miss such a important improvement.

Somebody posted the question how it will function between the two islands with the cars, if you have to buy cars for each island and so on. This is a very interesting point, i hope somebody can give a answer.

zo6dude · July 11, 2010

^ and Photoshopping two pics that don't belong to you together is okay though right..?

So true, I've spent easily five minutes just looking for one car.

Enjoy the new one!!:thumbsup:

Ryzza5 · July 15, 2010

I'm not sure if that's the final cover (i.e. I think they can do better). Then again, I won't be missing too much by getting it on Steam in that case :cheeky:

CLR-GTR · July 15, 2010

As long as there is no Q7 or Viper on the boxart I don't care what it looks like, although I will doubt with a pink S7 :p

Then again, to me there's only one uber-boxart: GTA. Nobody can beat GTA's boxes and manuals, especially not the GTA SA Touristguide (game manual).

BobbyV · July 15, 2010

I really don't care about the box art since I gonna get it online, what's only important is a customer support. In case it won't be any better than with the first game, it will be very bad...:oook:

Thank you very much :)

EDIT: Uh that interior camera is worrying me, you cant really see the gauges from where he's sitting

I thank you as well.

Thoughts: It's a shame the replay mechanics are the same. :( Hopefully that'll change before the release. The paint quality is very impressive, as are the alcantara interior pieces and the the light around them. Plus, typical TDU2 trailer - it's quite generic and could be done better.
