Looks Nice

[SilviaS14a]

Really do like that. :)

[Eudemon]

Still not liking the wheels though mainly the rear one, it's toooooooooooo big.

[SilviaS14a]

True the vinyl looks good, I think if the back wheel had the same depth as the front it would look about 90 times better. Would still love to own one though even with those wheels. :drool:

[CLR-GTR]

Luckilly I can't see it (not a facebook user).

[Eudemon]

I want to see low profile tyres as an option, I liked this in FM3 where you could upgrade the size of your rims thus lowering the profile of your wheels.

 

Pity we can't get some Pirelli P-Zero's in though.

[philippeapo]

I think this slr will be an exclusive car for the game and they are going to play whith it at the presentation, so perhaps we can dream about different rims and why not tires...

[CLR-GTR]

That would be the third SLR if you're right and this car will go ingame... :(

[ScoobSTi]

Kill that SLR! I hate those rims but the vinyl is awesome!

Found two other pictures of that TDU2 SLR...

Here you go!

 

+ 3 other worth-looking-at pictures. Here, here and here.

The last image is Alain Jarniou, one of the main people behind TDU2. So wait did they have a booth or is this a behind closed doors thing?

[CLR-GTR]

I think I see illuminating gauges, the lettering etc looks very very bright and almost glowing.

 

And there's the Atari-edition of Kane :D

Atari (Booth: OFMR5175)

NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. (Booth: 835)

NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. (Booth: PMR307)

NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc. (Booth: PMR309)

[Who]

I know Namco Bandai had a booth, the E3 walkaround gamespot thing showed him going past. There was just a bunch of DS titles and some other eastern cutesy games though.

[Eudemon]

Namco Bandai aren't making the game, Namco Bandai Partners are publishing/distributing it in European and PAL territories. ATARI is in full control of TDU2.

 

We were even told at Eden that Atari have to ok everything regarding the game as they don't like things they do not know about to happen.

[HOAX]

True about the regions, as it is a result of Infogrames (owned by Atari) allmost go bankrupt. Namco Bandai took over most of Atari Europe and Infogrames through Distribution Partners (now known as Namco Bandai Partners), as they now own 100% of.

[Eudemon]

Nope that's not true, Atari Inc (US) were in deep trouble, Infogrames was the parent company and owned 51% of them but not fully however they did buy them over later on. Atari SASU was the European division and they created Distribution Partners which turned into a hell of a success and Namco Bandai bought 33% and then later bought the rest. Atari are no longer in Europe apart from a studio in London and Eden Games which is an inhouse Atari studio like Polyphony Digital is with Sony and Turn 10 is with Microsoft. Atari Europe essentially became Namco Bandai Partners but are also mainly the publisher and do the marketing for Atari titles in Europe and PAL regions.

 

Infogrames no longer exists as they changed their name to Atari.

 

So basically it's confusing as hell.

[HOAX]

Namco Bandai bought 33%

You mean 34%? :D

 

Yeah... I know Atari US had some serious financial issues the last years, but so did Infogrames. In 2006 they sold intellectual properties and some studios in order to raise cash and stave off the threat of bankruptcy.

 

I knew Infogrames was the owner of Atari from the early days but I didn't know that IESA had changed their name and officially merged with Atari (May 2009). They were one company but also two functional head companies before may 09.

 

...but as you say, it's very complicated. Atari/Infogrames has stakes everywhere and everyone has stakes in Atari/Infogrames or it's subsidiaries. Pluss it's a mess keeping track of all their sales/buys.

Hmm...Another SLR ruined with Vinyls...But the rims are not bad.
