Joypad TDU2 Preview (French) *Wealth of info and pics!*

[Eudemon]

Cause it's not finished yet, your driver has no legs as far as I heard. :cheeky:

[And3rs]

Great news!! A lot of things that we hoped for are actually here. :excited:

 

The Dacia Sandero? :confused:

[MclarenF1GTR]

I believe OXM have one the end of this month, so yes. :)

 

that's from bad company 2

[Eudemon]

OXM UK have a TDU2 spread in the next issue out the end of this month (subscribers) and start of April.

nice looks better and better every time there's more news except the absence of muscle cars, which I know should come eventually, and trucks (and yes i know this is just the start of the info)

BTW the reflections on the ground on the McLaren picture look amazing

Great news! I'll pick one up from work when it comes in and get it scanned :D

[Who]

To be honest, i'm not too happy about the exclusive cars either, the whole thing stinks of T10's unicorn cars on Forza, which is quite possibly the biggest waste of time in gaming history...

[Eudemon]

We don't know how it will work though and tbh what they are doing is rewarding, who knows if it's only 1 car per club, maybe it's 1 club car ie liveried up and everyone else has the standard car.

 

And of course they're looking for feedback so if it is the way you say then feel free to tell them. Don't jump the gun basically.

I never played Forza Motorsports, so how is tunning made in that game? Something close to NFS series?

I never played Forza either, but all I know is you can change body kits, rims, paint jobs, and add liveries. And the NFS thing, oh man, I hope not. If TDU2 is gonna have customization, it better be simple. EA should just create NFSUG3 or something.

[Nipper]

If there's no Ferrari that could mean the cops will be brutal. I can live with that. lol

 

No, for two reasons.

 

1. Brutal cops are really not fun, maybe you like demolition derbies, I don't.

 

2. The 458 Italia is too good to not include in TDU2.

You had to bring the 458 into this? :cheeky: Agreed, by the way. :)

 

Also, cops are difficult - how do you handle them online, for instance? Maybe they could do offline = cops, no Ferrari, and online = no cops, Ferrari.

Who's ever needed a driver with legs?:D

[FizzPagan2000]

had a busy day yesterday but just got to see this.

 

please someone must tell me the details of what "exclusive for clubs" means!! :O

 

it sounds like maybe you have to be in or create a club at a specific club location in order to buy them? like the club itself is the showroom?

 

hold on something else has occurred to me - the effects of the mp4 12c's stats have yet to be revealed (top speed etc)...:s

OH HELL YES!! The 458 is THE most gorgeous car EVER!! I think I'll just swoon if it is included!!! :bow: :D

 

On the subject of island size, if Ibiza takes 40min to drive around that would make it around the same size as Oahu (or possibly slightly smaller), assuming that you can drive around it at a similar speed. As we all know, there are vast areas of Oahu which don't have roads on them so you could easily fit 4000km of roads on an area that size IMO.

tbh this pic with McLaren in front and Eibissa town in the background looks scary! I mean, if it really gonna look like this (stunning) I'm totally afraid my current spec won't be able to push it in a decent frame rate.:rolleyes:

[Nipper]

I would bet those screenshots are either pre-rendered, or touched up a little. :)

 

I wouldn't worry about it.

[t.]

Yea the McLaren shot is pre rendered. It doesn't match in with the Gumpert shot, the visuals won't be that taxing.

[FizzPagan2000]

the cobbles are nice - i'd like cobbles to be in there :)

[BobbyV]

Hope so. Road reflection is :drool: though. Wandering if they somewhat improved HDR effect...

[HOAX]

Road and background could be real photo with ps touching. The car is probably pre rendered as tWm. says.

[AustinDB9]

This game looks like it is going to be amazing!!!

 

Let's just hope that they RELEASE the game all at once so countries like Australia and many others don't have to play the 'waiting game' until it eventually comes.

 

Can't wait! :)

@HGenXE: yesterday I watched a vid with this asianlooking custom car designer that showed customization in Forza. It goes frome sideskirts and official brand packs (like Nismo) to technical stuff, to wheels, paint and vinyls.

[Eudemon]

The Forza 3 customisation may have been speaking mainly about a livery editor and some cosmetic options, I'm not sure if full on Forza options will be available, again nothing is known about this side of the game.

 

1. Brutal cops are really not fun, maybe you like demolition derbies, I don't.

 

2. The 458 Italia is too good to not include in TDU2.

1. Brutal cops as in they will actually try and stop your wanted highly. Driver was destruction, NFS Hot Pursuit was not.

 

2. I would rather have no Ferrari than them have to scale the game back in certain areas. I hope they are in, don't get me wrong but I loathe their arrogance.

[t.]

Driver was destruction, NFS Hot Pursuit was not.

 

Erm, I don't know about the original but in HP 2 the helicopter dropped bombs and stingers, fired missiles at you and dived down to road level to ram you off the road using it's skids. The only thing stopping destruction was the lack of damage.

 

If the cops are there I want them to behave realistically.
