[Eudemon]

I decided to do a little check and see if Eden or Atari have been buying anything that could be linked to this and found this, it's only small yeah but it was only registered in February this year: testdriveunlimited2.com has been registered by Eden and it is currently redirecting to the main atari site.

To add fuel to this fire (though to be honest it should be the other way around as this was posted on the eden site late last month) Maxi_Live has spotted that the [eden-games] website is advertising for an Animator to join the TDU Team - with the reference being [i]Animator TDU_01[/i] - as it's called. With e3 in July could we be looking at a possible announcement or is this just wishful thinking!?

In development for PC and Xbox 360[/b][/size]
 

[left]According to GRY-OnLine, a sequel to Test Drive Unlimited is being developed for PC and Xbox 360 and is scheduled to be released in March 2008. Test Drive Unlimited 2 will feature licensed vehicles from the most famous Italian car company’s like: Ferrari, Maserati, Bugatti, Pagani, Saleen, McLaren and many more. The sequel will also introduce off-road cars (two and four wheels), SUVs, 4WD, enduro bikes and buggies (Lamborghini LM005, Mercedes GL, Audi Q7, Hummer, Range Rover, VW Touareg and many more). Players will be able to drive in a 1500 km2 area with streets, highways, off-road tracks. There will be over 2400 km different roads (mud, sand, rock and asphalt), dynamic weather (rain, fog and storms), night and day cycles, and several online modes.[/left]

[/b][/size]I have to say if it is true then TDU2 is going to be absolutely quality and they have listened to their community !!

:excited:
 

Let's hope.

[Nipper]

yea, but why doesnt it list how many bugs and glitches there are gonna be :p

[Marc_CRX]

They will pretend they didnt know about them Nipper :p

[Partoon]

Wow. I'm impressed. And at least with updates all the bug's that will appear will be ironed out. Maybe they will have learned and there will be none. Here's to wishful thinking.

[CarMadMike]

bugatti, 4x4s, day and night, dont out do yourselves now

[Partoon]

I suppose the location is a sworn secret?

[CarMadMike]

its off the website no-one knows, hmm do you think they have porshes or bmws

[Partoon]

They can't forget to include Lada's! Or at least Skoda's.

[The Queen]

Awesome news Diablo and if this is true i am buying this game no matter what. Sounds amazing :D. Thanks for that sneaky info ;)

[Marc_CRX]

Atari must be Sleeping with Bugatti to get their license

[The Queen]

Haha^^ That could well be the case :D

[CarMadMike]

and as long as it works, i dont care

[Who]

Test Drive Unlimited 2 will feature licensed vehicles from the most famous Italian car company’s like: Ferrari, Maserati, Bugatti, Pagani, Saleen, McLaren

 

Arent buggatti half french, half german, saleen american and mclaren british... somewhat skeptical...

 

but if its true... WOOOOOOOOO!!!

 

and there will be a MASSIVE amount of pee'd off PS3 users if it is, Xbox360/PC (as stated) :p

[SupermAnthony]

If only there was a way to use the DLC cars we paid for in the first TDU, in TDU 2.

[CarMadMike]

there may be

[FA430RGT]

Interesting list of Italians cars...

[Mb]

If this is really TDU2 i'm wanting it now!

[Baldy]

sounds fun there goes another £50

[CarMadMike]

hopefuly other cars as well

[Sokoow]

I hope ther will be a way to sell the DLC cars on trade

[Pherelas]

WOW, do you think it will be set in Oaho again. I don't think they can create another island in that short amount of time. Anyway, i'm a little skeptical about how true this is and if it is there is NO WAY it will come out in March, it will be when the new xbox comes out or maybe the next one after that.

[Mr AnalFace]

Arent buggatti half french, half german

Half French, half Italian.

[SupermAnthony]

I hope ther will be a way to sell the DLC cars on trade

 

 

Only to people who have already downloaded the cars.

[Pherelas]

Half French, half Italian.

 

But paid for by the germans

[CptDarknuggets]

I want to drive at night. Muscle car street drags anyone? ;]
