[HOAX]

The Podcast has now been released.

 

Lee Kirton talks about TDU2 and TDUC from 23m 22s.

 

PS: There are more TDU2 talk from 46m 44s as well

 

 

Highlights:

 

- Story: Its a story this time.

- Vehicle/Yacht: You can put your vehicle in the yacht. The yacht has an spesific kind of hightech garage.

- Buildings: Sticker shops.

- Races: Create races and price them. The creator takes a split revenue from everyone who enters the race.

- TDU Central: Lee Kirton Says hi!

- Platforms: No PSP version in production.

- Vehicle physics: Lee Kirton: "It's a lot more like moviestyle. It's more like Arcadie, but it still not taking away that it's real cars".

- Bikes: Bike-packs for DLC not long after release.

- Opinion: Lee Kirton: "I'm a fan of Forca and espesially Grid. When it comes to comparison, TDU2 sit on it's own".

- MAP: You can scan for your friends and you can invite people to your location.

- Hints: "We got plans on how we are going to get people to testing" (probably beta)

- Other: "It takes a month to build a car".

- Vehicle physics - You can press a button to take the roof down (convertible roof).

- Weather: Puddles can get build up by rain (sorry in case of misspelling).

- Vehicles - 4x4

- Release date: Will be announced next week. The Podcast was recorded on Sunday so that means TDU2 release date will be announced this week ;)

Good listen, glad to hear a mention of TDUC on there, and the fact they say they've spent a lot of time on here is also good to hear :)

Edit:At 54:18s he says that you can buy Q7s,as in the Audi Q7,which is something we already know

[freddiegdude]

Probably,I think atari has realized that everybody knows the realase date and has just dicided to annonce it.

[HOAX]

Ups!... fixed :D

 

@2010rrsupercharged - Ofcourse... I should've known it was the Q7 lol... Thanks for the clarification :)

Well it's not yet announced but sure, it could well be 21 september. We will see.

[iLLGT3]

I'm downloading it right now. ;)

 

Not liking the Arcade though. Maybe a (H) Hardcore mode will be in the making sometime in the future. If they listen to the community, which is seems as though they have, then (H) mode should happen.

[HOAX]

Well, arcade doesn't have to be bad. If it's a good develop then it's a good game, even if it's an arcade.

[Camel]

I'll have a listen to this now, thanks for posting.

The puddle build-up sounds good, I've never seen that in a game before.

 

I did get scared a bit that one car takes a month to build, I thought people did this faster if they work on them 8 hours a day. Then again, is it just the modelling, or also specs overviews, soundprogramming etc...

I thought exactly the same about the puddles. Kinda cool :)

 

It takes longer to create a car from scratch than converting cars. It is also more detailed as he said because you can now view the whole inside of the car and each car is probably created with more polygons. I don't think he mention that it takes a month to create a car without a reason. It's to get impressed by I guess :)

[CLR-GTR]

Still I think it's quite a lot, especially for ingame models which are perhaps just 20k to 30k.

[Who]

Nissan Confirmed. he mentions nissan dealers, and this is from the horse's mouth, so it's gotta be true. added to the carlist now

[HOAX]

Yes he did. I thought we know. Silly me :headbang:

[Psyhoman]

Thanks a lot for making it with "Highlights" I love this part

[Who]

Nissan was mentioned in passing in an interview in text. I wouldn't really say it was that 'official' if you get me though?

 

This however has been said straight from Lee, so I feel I can add it with a proper source now

I think you can safely add it. To me it's an official statement. For everyone else it has been an trusted statement all the time with the previous info's as long as the words comes from officials or connected. Nothing so far has been wrongly stated as far as I know.

[Johnnnyboy15nl]

Where is my BMW!? Dam i hope its in there or after release in a carpack, because i want BMWs!

[HOAX]

Yeah in my mind an announcement of BMW's would've been the biggest suprise to the game so far. Let's hope :)

 

btw... are you Dev_share?

Q7's... could be wrong here but why would he use plural? Will there be several Q7 engines available?

 

EDIT: Another Mercedes has been mentioned. One with a roof that clips out of the back into shape at around 53:08.

 

But that won't be enough for the unofficial carlist as Merc has/had many convertible cars.

[khevolution]

I have subcribed to the Eurogamer Podcast on ITunes and this podcast has still yet to turn up, anybody else missing it, or are all of you listening from the site?

[Eudemon]

Umm site and MP3 are right their on the site itself.

Actually I don't think he mean't that their would be more the one type of q7.Plurals used in this way don't really imply that their is different kinds of the same thing,but instead imply that their is a number of the same thing.
