New roads? Compare TDU1 with TDU2.

Translation is not 100% correct but the main point is the pictures anyway :p.

 

So where are those new roads and screenshots of those?

 

Possibly in the recently published pre-order trailer?

 

At least it gave a short scene of a road in a jungle-ish area. Just part of a cutscene animation or a preview on the new road network after all?

 

Artwork of vegetation and jungle was till now only available in early W.I.P. screenshots and the roads there were offroad trails.

The scene isn't brand new, but with these images we're looking at a very early version of TDU2 and it's not known if it will be available in the release-version, if it wasn't a mistake, Eden sort of confirmed this by teasing.

 

But take a look for yourself, at least with these light and shadow effects it looks very impressive, and one can only hope that this will also be present in the retail version.

But that's not everything, we made the effort to compare the latest footage of TDU2's Oahu with TDU1 and have searched for the locations of the images of TDU1. Because until now there is only little footage of TDU2's Oahu available, one has to be happy with every little bit that's unveiled.

 

Also here, the changes can be seen, which aren't very shocking and there wasn't a lot more expected because a complete overhaul of the island would be impossible within the timeframe set. How much post-editing has been done to the images is not known unfortunately (at its least the brightness has been increased).

Hmm. I think my fully modded up TDU1 won't be much different than TDU2's Oahu now :(.

 

On a more optimistic note, hopefully the extra features will make it much more fun :).

FYI, the work in progress pics are down. :(

Being able to see at nighttime works at least. ;)

If you mean that roads were very blocky in TDU1, they are not in TDU2, roads are very smooth, and they are also a lot lower, closer to the ground aside of the road.
