For those that wanted Lamborghinis in TDU2...

[Retribution]

Sorry if this has already been posted. This is a post from an ATARI developer:

 

Test Drive Unlimited 2 Forums - View Single Post - Lamborghini and the Car List

 

Now they've said that they obviously didn't include any lambos in the final release, but in another post they did say that they would try to secure lambos as DLC. There is hope :)

[Leadfoot[YT]]

Destra didn't fully explain why they can't have both - it's popular belief that part of the Ferrari contract was to remove Lambo from being present at all. This, presumably, includes DLC. I hate to crush your hopes, but it's unlikely that we'll see any Atari-supported Lamborghinis in TDU2.

 

Thanks for posting this, though, and welcome to TDUC! :)

Every time this matter is brought back... its really painful. Lamborghini has some of thee most beautiful and sought after cars, everyone knows that. So I would give somee serious money of my own as a donation to help them get it. I would be happy to have Maserati back too but...

 

Its not confirmed but I also guess Lambos won't make it to TDU2. So I wanted to express my rage against this injustice. Man, these guys try to make a great game and add all the fans favourite cars and they get bashed by these stupid licensing issues.

 

Sincerely, those buttheads at BMW, Porsche, Lamborghini and Maserati should be flattered to have their cars in TDU2. Unfortunately money continues to block EDEN from overtaking all other racing games in quality and variety. A shame that it has to be like that!:mad:

Also, they seem to be able to track people as they chose for Ferrari because they would have seen more people driving Ferrari's in TDU1 than Lambo's....

[Overdrack]

Ferraris and Lamborghinis have GT5 ....

Ferraris and Lamborghinis have Forza3...

 

Where is the problem TDU2?

[Retribution]

The word going around is that Atari had to pay a lot for the license to include Ferrari's in the game, and Atari couldn't afford to put both Ferrari and Lamborghini, since they couldn't match the amount of money they gave to Ferrari for Lamborghini. But maybe from the money they got from the release of the game (which was quite a bit, the release was successful) they could acquire the license for Lambos and include them in a DLC somewhere? Hopefully.

 

And thanks Leadfoot, although i've been lurking since 09 :D

Money, Atari doesn't own an oilfield so that makes things a bit harder.

If the game does well then Lambo could be a possibility, they also know how much people would love to see BMW in the game and as far as I know BMW may be available to be licensed later in the year, so here's hoping!

[killalldude]

^ It would be pretty sweet if they do get BMW in. Mercedes and Audi are in, things will get feisty if their sporty German cousins come in!! :p

Well Holmes did say that the game was at "the top of sales charts in many territories" so you never know.. :lol:

Perhaps I don't have quite the obsession for BMW that other people have. Just thinking in terms of TDU really, most the "normal" car manufactures have a car that competes in the higher leagues (Ford GT, Chevy Corvette, Audi R8, Merc SLS etc) BMW have a lot of really nice mid cars but.. nothing that gets into the supercar category, if I make sense.

 

Still wouldn't say no though..

[hassan1995]

To be honest i personally would prefer your average cars like mistibushi more mercedes and audis but if they would add the avedtador and the sesto elemento and other Lamborghinis but i dont think they will add lamborghinis but you never know

[CLR-GTR]

@t. I agree, BMW has no supercar at this moment, that would be looking to older cars like the Z8 (even though it ain't a supercar) or the M1, all of the current stuffthey have is just tuned, like an S65 is a tuned S600 the M5 is just a modified 5, they don't have a fully separate developed sportscar unlike an SLS, Vette or R8.

 

However, what does VW have? The W12's are not in. What does Jaguar have? The XKR at most, no supercar though. Lancia has nothing interesting at the moment. So I wouldn't rule BMW out just as they don't have a top of the range representative.

 

BMW could get the X5/X6 for the SUV class, perhaps the 507 alongside the C1 Vette and 300SL, and a 6/M6 against the low/mid range AM's. The 1-series could work in the A7/A6 segment and the M3 or the most powerful stock 3 could target the S5 (M3 maybe also RS5?).

[Eudemon]

BMW isn't all about speed and exotic looks, it's about the brand and the cars. Is an E30 M3 a fast car? Not really but 99% (98% European + 1% Americas :cheeky:) of people would love to have it in any game that has cars in it.

 

Thinking of Mercedes in fact, a 190 Evo II would be very very nice indeed!

[eXile]

I want a M3 CSL so badddd.... I would pay £10 just for that car to be in there even if it was on its own DLC :(

 

But BMW won't be in TDU2, thats for sure since EA owns it. Same goes for Porsche. (but at least we have RUF hey)

 

Lambo on the other hand is possible.

PGR and Forza and GT5 all have BMW and there not EA.

[CLR-GTR]

And how much money do they have, willing to spend to those licenses? It's about money EA asks, and Atari doesn't have.

[carlos_69]

Porsche we can forget, they have a exclusive license to EA i think since NFS Porsche Unleashed (Eden made the PS version of it).

Now BMW, Lamborghini, Maserati we can hope they will apear in the game.

PGR and FM series was Microsoft. There ya go.

 

Polyphony on the other hand seems to have lots of money.

[Leadfoot[YT]]

...since NFS Porsche Unleashed (Eden made the PS version of it)...

 

Say what? That's awesome! No wonder it had a free-roam two-player multiplayer mode with police chases, traffic, and varying locations. ;)

That's why I was so often referring to NFS5 PU/P2000, Eden did it so they áre capable to do so many stuff TDU could have used. However now it seems the small troubled and relatively unknown devs need to be looked at, Synetic, SCS, that Car Driving Instructor, they all have so many details for vehicles to make em perfect.

 

I hope Lambo, BMW and more new brands will make it to TDU2.

BMW's issue isn't licensing...it's open world street racers...BMW and Honda/Acura do not want their cars in open world racers with cops, that's why you don't see them in Midnight Club either. Honda isn't in Hot Pursuit, Undercover or anything since Underground, yet shift has the NSX and S2000.

 

This may explain why BMW showed up in Forza and Gran Turismo. Porsche showed up in Forza probably due to Microsoft being able to back the cash that EA wanted. Porsche wasn't in Polyphony Digital for more than just a money issue.

And yet, you can drive M3, M6 and Z4 in NFS: Hot Pursuit. :lol:
