Looks very good :D love the detail in the environment and the cockpit cam looks good graphically:

ScoobSTi · June 19, 2013

It looks interesting, but it seems like it's more of a successor to Driver rather than TDU, which tbh I'd rather have instead.

Paladin Skylark · June 19, 2013

Tbh this is the game we've all wanted. Huge open world (looking at that map I don't think I've ever seen a bigger map good lord), cockpit view, customization, etc.

I'm excite.

Ryzza5 · June 20, 2013

d

Saw plenty of people playing this with a wheel at E3 as well... so it must have decent enough support for them.

So "early 2014" in game developer lingo... thinking either a February or May release date :(

carlos_69 · June 20, 2013

It's is indeed a successor to TDU even the map look like TDU. And the game is looking awesome.

iNotACactus · June 20, 2013

Well, I'm sold.

Destroyer-GT · June 20, 2013

Since it's America, DLC will be Oahu? :P

Dudu69 · June 21, 2013

either this or Alaska.

ScoobSTi · June 21, 2013

Alaska would be quite tricky to pull off. Unless they model in Canada as well. And while they're at it, they might as well model the entire world. :lol:

I'm not entirely sure if it is as massive as first thought looking at the map zooming scenes

hassan1995 · June 21, 2013

Bit late mate scroll up ;)

This however

I wouldn't say that, rather it's DSF 2.

TIMELESS · June 21, 2013

They must never sleep or something, they've outdone Forza Horizon x100000 :lol:

Eudemon · June 22, 2013

I wouldn't say that, rather it's DSF 2.

It's more TDU than DSF imo, if The Crew can mould the good of TDU, NFS (pursuits) and DSF then we're in for a hell of a game. What's interesting is that the view of the original TDUteam maybe didn't go down well with Atari or even Eden itself and so they decided to just gof do their vision themselves.

Ryzza5 · June 22, 2013

Atari must be struggling to contain their laughter... a driving game without The Sims, what is the world coming to

ScoobSTi · June 22, 2013

The ratio of TDU to D:SF in this game looks like 40:60 imo. :p

Eudemon · June 22, 2013

Driver was open-road like Forza Horizon not open-world like TDU/TDU2 though, I'd say it's more 75/25 in TDU's favour. :cheeky:

Yeah, that would be nice but to be the sort-of next TDU it needs houses and ecko unltd boutiques. The Crew is more of a proper modern racing game you know, NOS etc., while a TDU game needs to be more let's say refined, 'smooth' and more about the car lifestyle. TDU nailed that line between being TheSims and a racing game. TDU2... well, we all know. Yes I know, it's got a huge open map, where you can go wherever you want to, but personally I think it's missing a TDU flavour.

Yeah I've read that and know that Gamersyde were big fans of TDU so to hear that from them is very promising.

TIMELESS · June 22, 2013

Looks like I might be buying a new PC rather than a next-gen console.. *pats G27*

Can't you use any wheel on the PS?

I remember using my G25 on GT5 but I'm not so sure. :hmmm: I hope I can use my G25 on the PS4 with this game. That'd be awesome.

Eudemon · June 22, 2013

There was a report with DRIVECLUB where the PS4 would support a large amount of the wheels the PS3 did, so I would imagine G25, G27 and Fanatec would be prime for this.

Camel · June 22, 2013

Don't like the sound of this at all though.

The developers told us that they had decided to force players to drive with driving aids with a gamepad instead of offering multiple handling types as in TDU, all this to keep a certain balance in multiplayer. The driving aids are supposed to compensate for the lack of precision of a stick compared to a wheel.
