TDU2 Developers Q&A

[Camel]

So come on guys, girls and other strange beings we have here, this is the place to post up a question that you would ask or would like somebody to ask the developers of TDU2.

 

Please keep it to one question per member and if someone else has posted your question, just quote it so it makes it easy for me.

 

Nothing is certain here but maybe we could get some answers to the best and most popular questions.

 

;)

 

Questions so far:

 

Vehicle Related

 

• Will you be able to customize your car? e.g. body-kits, custom rims, exhausts tips.
  
• Will the detail extend beyond the physical modelling of the car (things like working digital speedometers but also things that were overlooked in Forza Motorsport, like the horsepower gauge in the Veyron...) or are the dials going to be like every other game?
  
• Will cars have dynamic aero-parts and if the ayre included, will there be an override option to keep them up all the time? e.g pop-up vents/spoilers
  
• Will we have an option to turn on refuelling?
  
• Will there be working wipers for cars in the game and is it possible to switch them on and off with an assigned button?
  
• Will you be able to switch or customize stock 4x4 settings? e.g. Changing from Hi to low gear range, adjust ride height, locking the differentials.
  
• Will the selection of cars be more diverse then just the top American & European marquee's? e.g. Australian Muscle cars, more Japanese cars etc.
  
• Will we be able to paint all cars in custom colours? Such as the Ferraris.
  
• Will folding roofs be unique to each car, or will it be generic?
  
• Will there be a proper automatic gearbox? One that shifts depending upon the pressure applied to the accelerator, not just shifting at the rev-limiter.
  
• Will gauges light up in the night?
  
• Is cruise-control featured in TDU2?
  

Environmental Related

• How will the weather affect the "Physical World"? e.g swollen rivers, muddy hills, street gutters full of run off rain water, maybe a few big puddles to splash through.
  
• Will there be roundabouts?
  
• Will we be able to access the Formentera? (Island just south of Ibiza)
  
• Will the environment be more lively? (ie. exciting, not as sparse and empty as in TDU)

General Questions

i'd like to know if the fluidity and interaction of all facets of tdu2 will work the same way as tdu1.

eg no loading for entering an online race and then changing venue/course...

i really hope that tdu2 will not have any large now loading please wait interuptions like certain other driving games i could mention.

How many cars will be and hmm what with fuel status.

[KoenigseggBG]

Will you be able to customize your car, using bodykits, custom rims, exhausts tips and etc.?

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Will there be a "simulation mode," as Hardcore Mode was in TDU?

A simple one for me:

 

Will the detail extend beyond the physical modelling of the car (things like WORKING DIGITAL SPEEDOS but also things that were overlooked in forza, like the horsepower guage in the veyron...) or are the dials going to be like every other game?

[Camel]

CLR, that looks like more than one question.

 

I'll only be adding your questions to the first post if you only ask one, otherwise there will be too many.

[CLR-GTR]

EDIT:

 

Ow ok. Well I'll stick to this question then. But is it ok I leave that post there? Or should I edit it?

 

- Will cars have dynamic aero-parts, such as the pop-up vents on the Murcielago or the pop-up spoiler on the SLR? If these are included, will there be an override option to keep them up all the time?

That's my question too

Nice topic. The thing I want to ask has been posted by M0rV and CLK-GTR: Refuelling

[CobraDBlade]

[Streak115]

Will traffic lights, rain, and other features such as the day/night cycle be synchronized on different games so that all players see the same thing?

[CarMadMike]

Where will TDU2 pick up from after TDU? (Is there a link between the two games?)

[sfy2004]

how will the weather affect the "Physical World"...swollen rivers, muddy hills, street gutters full of run off rain water, maybe a few big puddles to splash thru?

Ok, I think I will ask this as I really would like to know. :D

 

Will there be working wipers for cars in the game and is it possible to switch them on and off with an assigned button?
