Help TDU2 get a new handling mode, like hardcore mode in TDU1

[Camel]

Would you like TDU2 to be updated with a new handling mode, something akin to what HC mode was to TDU1?

 

Then please post here in this thread, or even better, post here on TDU2.com with your opinions on it. The more people that reply to the thread over there, the more likely Atari/Eden are to take notice of the thread and possibly do something about it.

 

Thanks!

Thanks for posting this. People, even if you're even slightly interested, please post it in the thread @ TDU2.com as every single effort counts towards getting there. I hope they'll really listen to us this time.

Whether you post here or on TDU2.com please keep it constructive and civil as if you get the thread removed then no-one will see it. And even though I am for this and hope a popular discussion arises from it, if the thread goes way south I'll remove it. So play nice. :)

Haven't been on TDU2's site for a while, let alone the game. But I'll sure as hell give in to this!

Frankly I reckon we'd be better off making the thread here with a simple poll so they can quickly see the number of people in favour, and so that we don't have any "fizztards" ruining it :D

Just supported this on the official forum.

It has been one of my requests since the early Beta and still is high on my wishlist.

Thanks for this. I'll support it for sure!

Handling:

Realistic handling is key for games using real cars. If the cars don't handle like the real ones, what's the use of having close to life car models?

Most modern day cars are built so they can be driven by any random idiot, meaning a realistic game shouldn't be hard to drive.

Force feedback:

Steering feedback plays a big role in controlling a car properly, without this feedback it is sometimes guessing how much grip you have resulting in bad car control.

If you guys want it, then you got to flaunt ....ask for it! Remember though asking for a full-on rFactor, Project CARS, LFS style handling may not be the best thing as TD is not a series for simulation handling, it would be nice to have an option like that of course but for starters just being able to get something that gave the driving feel and madness of power that TDU1's Hardcore mode gave would be a start. :D

[Zulnex]

I will support it 100% as well.

[T1M]

Done and done.

[Eudemon]

Spread it around also if you can, if you're a member of another community just spread it.

Don't get high hopes, as some might know the developers are very VERY stubborn, also when they still had a full team in the beta. Nothing will happen about the handling, it is a known problem and in a Q&A some time ago on the TDU2 forums this was even confirmed, the developers were happy with how it is. And furthermore, there apparently are lots of people who like the handling.

Long before even the beta a topic on the tdu2 forums was made asking the question what people prefered, simulation or arcade and a small amount of people chose arcade over simulation. A 19 page discussion, no interest from the developers at all. But as with many other very obvious problems like no custom radio the developers still do nothing usefull, they create extra useless furniture and a bike that will most likely suck too. So just to warn you, don't get excited at ALL. The developers only do the things that suits them best.

Noone is really expecting anything, all we're trying to do is get a number of people to show via the numbers that this is a viable and wanted option. In all honesty though it's the publisher who dictates what and what does not get worked on. Also I've seen a new term going around to describe what the players who want a little bit of immersion and a more realistic experience in their driving games want. Can you guess what that is?

 

Believe it or not it's "less accessible". That's right if a game isn't dumb and easy enough for the idiots to get to grips with then by all means pluck the rest! Screw the chance of getting the option to change the game to how you wish it to be as nowadays it's all for the idiots and only the idiots.

 

Sad times indeed. :(

[Ryzza5]

So that must be why no-one bought Gran Turismo 5 and Forza 4 :lol:

[Eudemon]

Exactly. Giving people the option to play the game the way they want is a no-brainer!

Can't believe you haven't already posted this here:

I can't really promote my own stuff, if you get what I mean.

[Ryzza5]

Where do you think I got the link from? :lol:

[Eudemon]

Baldy, he told me he saw the thread on the forum and posted it all over the place, even added it to the top of the receipts at his store. :D

I keep trying to post and vote over there, but I've forgotten my password... and the sites password reset/reminder isn't working. :(

 

edit: turns out, I just remembered my pw... Am almost sure I tried it before though. Oh well, voted now :)

[Eudemon]

We have a fair amount of spoons here. :hmmm:

[Ryzza5]

He was being a spoon over there though :hmmm:

 

Therefore TDU2.com has the most spoons

[Eudemon]

With logic like that you are clearly a spork.

[Ryzza5]

Is that a Star Trek reference? I've never watched it :cheeky:
