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

[Eudemon]

Races are 8 players from what it says, not sure about freeroam plus AI will pick the finish for some challenges meaning no getting to know the tracks for a change. lol

[EW]

Looks interesting.

For some reason :fp: Fabien has moved the post that has now spread across not only many other places but is also on Google, elsewhere so sorry for the confusion if you get an error with the original link.

I'll translate the rest now.

This sounds better than anything I would have ever hoped for! :D :excited:

[Who]

well, this is gonna bugger up my FAQ =/

[Eudemon]

The Peking to Paris I think is now called the D8 so it could actually be the concept model rather than what could turn out to be the production model.

 

Also the Z199 I am pretty sure was the codename for the SLR Stirling Moss. Damn Eden and Atari are picking some cracking cars though I'm not sure how the Z199 will do when it rains as it's got no roof! :D

[Who]

I'm more intrigued by what the caterham is gonna be like in the rain if it's back... a bugger to handle i imagine, with windscreen wipers that are utterly hopeless (imagine a small dog wagging it's tail over your windscreen and you get the idea)

[sirNemanjapro]

Not enough of cars. And as I said earlier there is NO FERRARI or Alfa or Porsche.

Can i call you an idiot?

Those are not all the cars, just the ones that we know off.

[CLR-GTR]

I think the Spyker SSUV is going to be the D12. I just realized there have not been photo's of the D8 for a long long time. Last time, the photos appeared of the testing mule, and that was halfway 2009. I don't think they're sure of the D8's possible designchanges compared to the D12, where as the D12 is 100% known.

[Eudemon]

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

[Rodrighazzo]

Uhm, single server for all players?

 

Well, looks like the servers are being improved thats awesome ^^

So, we can expect more players, during freeroam :P

[CarMadMike]

When it rains, I fully hope there are windowscreen wipers, which would make the cockpit view amazing when its raining in a storm :D

[The Queen]

YES!!! TURN SIGNALS CONFIRMED! I am so happy right now. :D:D:D

[Rodrighazzo]

No!

Now that I read, will be only 8 players during free roam? Ugh....

[CLR-GTR]

No, perhaps they mean only 8 people for one race.

[BATC42]

Ah, I see you've been faster than me, I wanted to post it here when I'd have finished the translation.

 

If you need more information just ask, I have the magazine just here ^^

[Rodrighazzo]

Any photos? xD

 

I hope that means 8 players in a race, because, well, it says a unique server for all players... well lets wait!

[CarMadMike]

First of all, a huge thanks for posting the Information on tdu2.fr,

 

Would you mind giving me the caption in the top left of this picture: http://img197.imageshack.us/img197/8477/p1020048d.jpg As the scenery found there is rather stunning, i'd like to know what it says about it.

[zo6dude]

I still hope damage can be turned off or whatever.... But the Spyker C8 Aileron should be fun!

It is about the fact that the roads aren't just like they are in the reality. Just like in TDU, Eden is remodelling the roads, the decors in order to adapt them to the game.

 

The original text, in french (mine isn't a translation) :

Comme Hawaii dans le premier TDU, l'île d'Ibiza fait l'objet d'une réinterprétation par les équipes d'Eden. Les tracés sont parfois modifiés, les décors adaptés au jeu.

First of all big thanks for posting the info and pics, really appreciated by the whole TDU community.

 

Second if you want to post it here feel free to do so, the reason we linked is we don't like to copy or place content here unless we have the permission to do so. :)

Thanks a bunch, +rep :)

for instance the roads in the game will be most probably wider. See the difference between actual and in-game roads, roughly the same spot

[HOAX]

I hope they have kept the roads as realistic as possible.

 

@BATC42 - Thank you, + rep :)
