Dev team in France (Paris/Lyon) still hiring: AFJV

They're looking for specialists in network development... let's hope they find the good ones for a truly massive and seamless online experience

I'm sorry but I think I'm missing something. Who are those guys?

relates to Atari , previous TDU versions and a Community Manager they had that has a bad record with games and communities.

we'll leave it at that.

Nice to know its likely not an Epic Games Store exclusive like WRC 8. Hopefully theres no restriction like Isle of Man 2.

I hope it too.

However, I also hope that there will be more car brands.

Bringing Hawaii back is like comparing crew 1 and crew 2.
That was, in my opinion, the biggest mistake Ivory Tower made back then.
I hope KT Racing doesn't make the same mistake and brings us back a game that reminds us of a "TDU" after a very long time.

Expand

I think it was cool.
No jokes.

I think if TDU3 feature ALL the islands (not only Oahu) and make an more vivid and detailed map, then it won't be a problem.

Okinawa would actually be pretty sweet. Size wise, it's smaller than O'ahu but bigger than Ibiza. It would also bring a good mix of urban and nature. It's truly an amazing peace of paradise. Kyushu would be great also, but it's a damm big island!

Sadly though I don't think it would work with the whole TDU vibe myself as it doesn't have the pull or amour that Hawaii or Ibiza has. In the same way if I'm thinking of good driving roads, nice scenery, vibrant city life and 'The Highlife'...the French Riviera comes to mind rather than The Highlands of Scotland.

For now All we can do is guess. I mean who'd to say it's even going to be an island?

Expand

TDU:SC Director said that it's an island and it's tropicalistic.
So?

I think Okinawa and Kyushu would work with the TDU Vibe. They are real richlands with tropicalistic flora, mainly composed by elite-class people.
Maybe French Riviera is an great place for TDU:SC. Specially if you consider that it's being developed in France. Altough they don't seem tropicalistic.
And i think there are some islands in England that could work too. Altough they also don't seem tropicalistic.

(edit, The Jackal's first post/rant above mine appears to have been removed, so my reply makes less sense now)

USA is overdone imo (NFS are well overdue to feature somewhere different) but I don't think Europe is overdone. I guess most players just want to go somewhere they can't visit IRL (which right now is just about everywhere beyond the local shops for us in Melbourne, haha).

I'm pretty sure the majority of locations that could be selected have speed limits and slow drivers. But I haven't visited too much of WA besides Kalgoorlie and Karatha.

Try using paragraphs next time - they're much easier to read than that wall of text

Expand

Europe is overdone indeed.
Altough i gotta admit, i want The Crew 3 in Europe. From Portugal to Russia preferably.

But doesn't Australia have small and mid-sized islands that are their territory?
IMO Australia deserves more attention in games in general.

Well, the only things i want in TDU3 are:
*An serious handling and gameplay.
*Real Cops, that pursue you when you're over 150KM/h.
*And perhaps an "Hot Pursuit" gamemode, for when you want to race outside SC.

Ryzza5 · August 12, 2020

There aren't any public islands off Australia that are full with rich people and supercars. TDU likes to go after that lifestyle as well as just the island.

I'm curious about the location and its features

The island will be in German / it's over like 50 miles or something like that

Djey · August 21, 2020

Looks like we have the exclusive answer to an important question

Sources?

The Jackal · August 23, 2020

my laptop's 2gb 960m will need to be enough to run it. if it ain't, too bad. i'm not wasting any more money on computers

Djey · August 23, 2020

Not wanting to bring bad luck here, but 960m might not even reach comfortable fps at low settings. I get a desktop 770gtx which has 50% more power at least, and I seriously think at upgrading it.

Who · August 25, 2020

Oh look, a new TDU game, and a dinosaur arises from the shadows

'sup guys! good to see you again

Ryzza5 · August 27, 2020

Well I never... look! Who's back!

Welcome back.

Djey · August 27, 2020

Hi folks, Gamescom live is tonight 7pm CET

Maybe some interesting information about upcoming TDU so be sure to bring your virtual tickets and bingo cards!

Keep it, use it, replace it when it breaks.

Ryzza5 · August 31, 2020

So the weekend has passed, what was the new game? Anything TDU related?

Djey · August 31, 2020

Nope sadly. "New" game introduced was blood bowl 3 if I'm not mistaken.

But the most interesting was WRC9 gameplay trailer with Alain and we could imagine some of features of the engine be ported to TDUSC.

We'll have to wait a while, still...

TimBud · September 7, 2020

TDU3 you say?

My ears just pricked up

Ryzza5 · September 9, 2020

Took you long enough! (cheeky). Welcome back, Tim.

Confirms a 5 year development plan, and may give clues as to a potential release window next year, assuming no delays. 5 years is also plenty long enough to expect a brand new location to cruise about.

I love that some news pops up and suddenly the gang starts getting back together! welcome back tim!

calster17 · September 19, 2020

Oh, old-new faces! Good to see
-

Seeing how it's had a 5 year plan so far leaves me with hope, also means less of a wait I'm sure. Can't wait for some more info to come out.

TimBud · September 19, 2020

I'll have to stop buying bikes and bike parts so I can afford the new XB, to play this... and a new tellybox too.

So looking forward to some online shenanigans with everybody again

Ryzza5 · September 20, 2020

After seeing all of the mods I don't know if I could play TDU on any other platform than PC. The second hand graphics card market will soon be flooded with cheap 1080Tis and 2080's, 2080Ti's from people upgrading to cheaper-than-usual 3080s (once stock levels are sufficient).
