Sweet:)

Maybe they hadn't modeled o'ahu on a 1:1 scale, and they have with Ibiza, maybe that's why it's bigger. Just a wild guess.

[BobbyV]

Nope, all distances are roughly accurate in TDU, maybe with 5% deviation at most. Here's my little test from long ago...

Same path, measured by the games GPS...

There's a possibility that 1 TDU kilometer =/= 1 RL kilometer... Haven't tested anything myself, just saying that it's a possibility.

[Who]

the Idea of a KM isn't the only thing that is off! I Present to you, TDU's fastest road!

 

[Dariuz]

Then 2.5x bigger probably means 2.5x more roadsurface.

*sigh* we just have to wait for more updates :S

Actually, this would be the real view from the roughly same spot...

pretty much the same...:nuts:

[Soul Challenger]

I thought in-game Oahu might be smaller than the real one so I did some tests and measurements today. Superimposed max zoom parts of the TDU map over satellite photos... and oddly enough it seems to be 1:1 scale. Or almost. The trees are a bit bigger and the roads are broader but the game cars were the same size as the ones on the sat photos. So either they pumped up Ibiza to be bigger than Oahu or they just mean 2.5x more roads. If they count the offroad dirt tracks that wouldn't be very surprising. :confused:

For the most part, yeah, it's a similar road, however around the point where the lighthouse is it's all that dirt track, it's a national park or something. where I posted was just a little way further down the road than where you were looking

True. That's probably the most likely thing; after all, TDU's island was measured in drivable road when it came out, not driveable space. :) So TDU's 1000km could be 2.5 times less than Ibiza's paved and unpaved roads.

Thanks Andreas1 :D

 

Seems like TDU2 will much better than the first one :)

With time more info will show up and I just hope they do this:

 

Make the game more wheel/controller friendly;

Don't forget the cars don't have unlimited fuel;

Implement some more customization (changing rims, some interior items like we've seen on DiRT, for eg. No bumpers and such things, this isn't NFSUG2 :D);

Real sounds;

 

Etc.. there are lots and lots.. I would like to see those lol

 

Anyway, thanks for this nice article Andreas1, +rep :D

[:)]

+rep! This info has literally made my day :D TDU2 looks like another epic!

[zo6dude]

I hope some of the english mags do a TDU2 section..

[zo6dude]

Anyone know of any english magazines out that have something to do with TDU2?

[The Queen]

I would think if there was one, it would have been posted up here by now.

[Eudemon]

OXM UK will have something end of this month, tbh a removed article mentioned about the media embargo being lifted in the coming weeks so there will be a flood of info exclusive and otherwise in the next 2 weeks I imagine.

[hpluls]

I'll look out for news in Polish magazines, will post if there's anything new.

[2010rrsupercharged]

i wonder if you get money for exploring off road?

[iBilo]

Wow this is epic. Me and my friend are definitely gonna have to get this.

[Who]

Hurray for chris being back :D

[CLR-GTR]

Not sure about money, but if the game will have achievements, no doubt there will be some (Shocking! - Brake your shockabsorbers 50 times in one race. 15G) :cheeky:

[carlos_69]

Great.Thanks Andreaz.

I will try to find some on portuguese gaming magazines.

I've been borrowing Game Informer and Playstation magazines from my friends, but they don't mention TDU2. But if you mean English as in British, then I don't have those. United States, dude. :cheeky:

[Speeder]

Thanks Andreaz!

A french magazine is going to post 8 pages about TDU2...

I'll post it monday. :)

[Prophecy]

EIGHT PAGES?!?!?! I hope someone can translate that :D
