Ok I've just tested a reCAPTCHA mod locally and will install it on the main CP domain now. So hopefully you should be able to read that one. :cheeky:

:lol: press to hear the letters then. :ym:

Thanks. I made it due to everyone that's posted great pics in here. :)

t get your arse over to Car Paps - Index :: We are the Car "Paparazzi"! ! :D

At this time?!

Hey guys due to this thread and also the amount of people who flock to London, Monaco, Nurburgring just to get pics I decided to create a community for just that. :D CarPaps So if you are a member of the Car "Paparazzi" then feel free to join and post your shots up for others to enjoy. And I guess we'll see where it goes. Thanks.

Cheers lads.

Let me post my point of view on this and I'm sure some people will agree with what I say and others will wonder why the hell am I saying what I am going to say. TDU was a game many of us had been waiting for, it allowed you to drive dream cars around a massive environment and even though it wasn't perfect it had so many nice touches and a decent driving feeling that it lasted for ages for so many people. Couple that with the modding scene and the game even today continues to be played by a fair amount of people for a game of it's age. During this time rumours and myths about TDU2 were floating around but nothing concrete was ever actually found until BADNED posted those early testing screens and concept artwork. Excitement started to increase and the internal hype machine started to spool up and people were thinking of what they want to see and all sorts. Then it went quiet for around about a year and I went on the hunt for any and all media that could be about TDU2 and came up with some nice items and findings which again exploded into big interest and conversation about what TDU2 "could be". Then back in December 2009 I received an email from Eden in reply to one of the 5 or 6 I had sent during that year and it was basically a 'thank you for your interest' along with also stating that they didn't mind me seeking any and all info as it shows 'interest in the game [we] are working on' and that more info should be coming "next year". This of course made me very happy! :D Skip forward to February and another email I do send at the end of the month, and on the 1st March 2010 I got an email stating that the official announcement for TDU2 was coming in the next couple of days "hopefully" which we all know it did. And typical for myself the 'TDU2 Announced' email and artwork arrived in the morning the day I had a ton of stuff to do in the morning. Just my luck! Anyway the next few months essentially are quite frantic what with being flown to Eden Games to try out the game and check out the presentation and ask the all important questions you guys were asking. Getting answers to those questions (all dials will be working... really?) and seeing what was being worked on in the screens and such of the artists and testers made me smile and excited for what was to come. Seeing the game and getting to experience the smooth roads and watch day turn to night and see the rain and storm effects in action was also amazing. Then it was time to play the game and back then the driving was twitchy and the steering instant left to right, read my report and you'll see I do say this along with the flag that raised in my head (not literally) when the man from Del Monte ...I mean Atari said that when driving with no aids on the cars should still be controllable. Then came the video trailers showing what seemed to only be the life of TDU2 and not the driving, in fact the first trailer is probably the one that showed the most driving, also what happened to the Xenon lights that we were shown in that? :hmmm: And what the budgerigar was the deal with that stupid E3 trailer?!??!?! :fp: Then we hit Beta time and those of you who were in that know how well that was, they fixed a number of bugs and said a number of things regarding the PC wheels and such but still with every update they never got it quite right and even now many of you who played TDU in only this way are still waiting for it to appear. A sequel is meant to build upon the good of the previous and add more not take away the fun and hugely respected aspects that people were actually asking to be included in other games! That's a huge compliment when people are asking other devs and publishers if they can do it like TDU does. Hey there, thanks for sticking with me, you're at the end now. So let me end with saying that TDU wasn't perfect but it was well liked and TDU2 was expected to be a lot more than what it is, you gave us night and dynamic weather along with improved roads but these are pointless if the core aspect - the driving - is not fun. Look at games today and look at the immersion and detail on the car interiors and TDU2 falls way behind which is a shame as there is no other game like it and ironically enough TDU2's biggest competitor is TDU1 and if you're on the PC you're more than likely playing that than TDU2 anyway. I haven't played TDU2 since the 26th of August, in fact I used to only play the Casino and poker a couple of times a week but even that is boring now and unless something drastic happens I don't see me going back what with Forza 4 and BF3 coming next month. To the people saying that TDU2 won't be played after 2 years this should be the plan if you think about it as most games have about a 2 year period between them bar the big releases like GTA and whatever Valve are currently and still working on. Atari (Infogrames) has a history of releasing crap or releasing games in a crap state, but they do get the odd and rare flash of brilliance; think Chronicles of Riddick, Ghostbusters (it was fun), The Witcher I & II, Rollercoaster Tycoon (has a big following), NeverWinter and the godlike epic that is My Horse and Me 1 & 2, along with some others I can't think of so they do have the teams to do or the foresight to see a good thing. I just wonder sometimes if they actually will learn from the mistakes they always seem to make and will actually end up with their killer title and series that will stop them always seeming to get a new boss or talk of going down. Look to other titles and see how their community shapes them and thus earns the respect and more importantly the sales that make a game great and a series fanatically followed. There was no end to the demands, suggestions and improvements put forward by the community over the years so it's not like you could not have known what your players wanted. Anyway that's all I got to say ...well 1 last thing, what if we are in fact the minority saying the same thing and that the vast majority of people on TDU2 actually enjoy or are not bothered by the handling, the exclusion of decent wheel and FFB support and could care less about server stability and only want to empty their pockets or their parents' pockets of cash for DLC. Possible? :duck: In summary: TDU - Play it your way. TDU2 - Play it your way.

Very nice, looks like one to watch for sure. Makes me wonder if GTA V does come in 2012 that it would have to be later in the year or 2013 so as not to disrupt MP3. :hmmm:

At weekends I take over the running of Hell.

Nice catch on the Roison or something they call it over there?

It's missing the wing for a start.

2 Diablo's in the space of less than a day!!!! :sohappy: +rep to both of you.

Nope sorry, was just a date related to TDU2 was all. Only "things" I've heard is what I already mentioned and that was that the PS3 patch is still coming. I've been told that if there's any news I'll be informed but it's all been quiet for a couple of weeks now.

It's a hack and I believe the tuning is somewhat hardcoded into the game as I've seen people saying that it makes no difference for most of the cars. Then again that could just be the screwed up tuning not working as it should.

still waiting ps4

Haha believe it or not that was one of the first I checked upon.

Wow! Got to say I like the Veyron in white.

So umm yeah.

Cool you can haunt the people I hate! Do ghosts have teeth? :hmmm: :welcome:

Can you elaborate more on what this is? Looks interesting though from the screens.

Bring on Battlefield and the new Rainbow Six I say!

:evil:
