That would be an easy fix, just have fuel as an option in freeroam for now. :)

Updated again, keep them coming!

TDU2 is more like Windows XP at launch, fair amount of issues but full of promise. After some work and the release of some big Service Packs it was made good however some small updates caused more damage in places and caused errors elsewhere were there was none. Basically what I'm saying is wait for TDU2 SP3 for everything to be sorted out right. :lol:

Haha It's going next Monday or Tuesday put it that way.

Oh yeah BF3 how could I forget that, not sure about Forza 4 unless I hear that public lobbies are back. None of that forced matchmaking nonsense.

I'm not interested in DiRT 3 personally and Driver SF has me scratching my head due to the whole jumping between cars thing and the fact that you're supposedly in some kind of LOST scenario where what's happening isn't real but is. I dunno. My wants of the year are Mass Effect 3, Deus Ex Horizon and the hopes for Ubisoft to announce a new Rainbow Six. Speaking of Ubisoft I don't know if the new Ghost Recon has my interest due to the whole stealth suit or whatever it's called. Don't forget to contribute to the new 'TDU needs' thread, I'll be sending it within 2 weeks.

Haha I haven't voted though, I can show you proof.

Updated list. Great suggestions guys, thanks a lot and keep them coming! Also don't forget you can only post 2 items per post of yours so if someone has posted after you feel free to post again but don't go nuts, use common sense so others can get in too. Thanks.

That was you though right? :cheeky:

Hey guys, if you were here for the original 'TDU2 needs' you know that we collected a lot of good suggestions and ideas for TDU2 before we even knew it was coming. In fact I think it was about 3 years ago :holysh: it was almost 4 years ago!! we did it. And isn't it funny how time flies but more importantly how things can change and not unfortunately for the best. We are now close to 3 months of having TDU2 and even though many of us can say we still play it, do we actually enjoy it? Sometimes yes but from the posts and opinions all around a fair amount would say no. And that's a real shame as anyone who played TDU and had been wondering what TDU2 could encompass knows that the potential within it was great to imagine. Basics (in thinking terms) like night and day and weather was at the front of everyone's wishes and we got this but there was other stuff we didn't ask for, want or even had been removed. So here we are again but this time we know what we have and we know what we want to see happen to keep us not just playing TDU2 but actually sticking with the series. If you've completely given up then that's fair enough and I can see why you would but if you feel there is still time to get it right then by all means contribute away and let's show whoever is making these dumb decisions with the title/series what those who play the damn game actually want! Whose with me!!! *massive crowd cheer* :bunny: I will aim to compose and post this list by or on Friday 13th May (2011) ....erm maybe wait till the following Monday/Tuesday actually. :D Please post only 2 that's TWO suggestions per each post of yours, no multi-posting and please refrain from using bad language and insulting the devs and co. Cheers! MUST HAVES * Do something about the hackers and cheats; ban them, reset them, give them pink cars with cheat written all over them or something otherwise it will just get worse. * A means of acquiring money once all the Cups are completed; the game is about living the high life, how can this be done if we can't get money to do so. * Better physics; TDU2 physics to a large number feel a step backwards to TDU. Ryzza - TDU1 was about picking nearly any sort of fast car, and enjoying any type of driving style (relaxed, showboating (drifting), precise fast racing, chasing, making movies, etc). TDU2 seems to be more about struggling to stay on the road without feeling like you're driving at the limit. * Look with Wheel; ability to look left and right with a wheel would be a godsend. * No offroad routes; it would be really good to have the option for the GPS not to use offroad routes to get to the destination, as if you are in a non-offroad vehicle then going offroad is going to take longer than going the long way at high speed. * GPS mini-Zoom; again a feature from TDU - while following the GPS you could zoom out the GPS to 3 levels so you could see roughly where you were heading to if the destination was way off in the distance. It was especially helpful when travelling long distances and you wanted to take/try a different route. ********************************* WOULD LIKE * More off road vehicles. * Better Photomode with ability to export our pics. Option to detach the focus from the car so we can take pics of the stunning environment would be excellent also. * No damage option or a quick fix for damage option, how about the garages that show Repair on them? Repair the car for a price etc * Better communication and Quality Control/Testing of future patches/updates. Get us to do it even! :D * Less grip and less restriction offroad; when driving offroad at speed the car seems a bit too planted, it should be sliding and really allowing big glorious slides when thrown into turns and general larking about. Also it would be more beneficial to remove or at least lessen the restriction of non-offroad vehicles and just make them handle really badly rather than nuke their performance. * Paint DLC/Club Cars; Why can't we paint these cars, it's kind of a shame to have the game encourage customisation and make yourself different when everyone will end up driving the exact same cars. Obviously real world limited editions are exempt like the Veyron SS * Fuel; yes it's a love and hate feature but that's why an option to have it would be great for those who want it. * Traffic cars; the wheel blur on them isn't brilliant and somewhat distracting, not a major issue though. Also some AI traffic warp speed round intersections which is surreal to watch when it occurs. * More Debris; in TDU we had leaves and newspapers blowing about adding that little touch of urban and natural mess to the environment, sure they didn't do anything but it was a nice touch having some everyday items just getting blown about the environment. On offroad areas you could even have the occasional tumbleweed blow by when a player has been idle for a length of time. :) ********************************* VEHICLES * Adjust Seat Position; Bring it back!!! Why remove something so many people loved and even shouted at other Devs to implement in their own games due to the immense implementation of it in TDU. * Internal indicator display; We asked for indicators and we got them and we use them but we can't see we are using them unless we are in an outside view. A simple icon that shows their use would be great. * Jerky Look to Apex; In the cockpit view that many people used in TDU the Look to Apex in TDU2 is far too jerky and makes it very difficult to enjoy driving from that view. Some would love an option to control it's speed or even disable it completely. (remember giving us options is a good thing!) * Lamborghini; hey if we don't ask we don't get! *BMW; see above :) * Wheel blur at high speeds is quite bad, not a major issue but a better look would be welcomed. * Dashboards and dials are poor in this day and age, the leather and textures look good but the dials compared to games like Shift/Forza/GT are somewhat laughable. Where's the digital gauges and such we were promised. :sadbanana: * Brighter Lights; the lights on a number of the cars in the game are too dull (somewhat desaturated even), even at night it's somewhat difficult to see the indicators unless you are somewhat close to the person. So added brightness and colour to the lights would be very welcome indeed. * Is there a Draft; bring back drafting/slipstream, some of the fun of TDU was maxxing out your car in someone else's slipstream and it made racing interesting having this dynamic also. * Air Resistance; No matter how fast you drive, it feels like you are driving in a vacuum. This would kind of eliminate the issue where your car suddenly stops accelerating after hitting 220km/h, 269km/h, 307km/h, 329km/h or 351km/h because cars wouldn't hit their top speed so quickly. * Revert and Change Factory Exterior/Interior Colours; In TDU we could hit the Paint Shop and select the factory colours and in going back and forth even change the interiors to something we would perhaps prefer. In TDU2 there is no way to do this at all so an option to revert/change the factory colour options of the car (vehicle) would be brilliant as sometimes you just feel like Cream Leather with Aluminium instead of Red Alcantara and Carbon Fibre. ;) INDIVIDUAL VEHICLE ISSUES Audi R8 5.2 V10 Coupe - Is a manual transmission but the avatar does not interact with the gear shift at all. ********************************* SOUNDS * Improved Engine Sounds; some are a vast improvement over TDU but others are embarrassing for the cars sporting them. * Engine redlining; why do some cars seem to have a sudden full stop rather than bounce off the limiter, or even get nowhere near the redline. (Lancia Delta for example) * Rain Drops; When in a car during heavy rain you can hear the rain hitting off the car and the windows, this would be a nice detail to have and make Ryzza smile. :lol: * 5.1 Subwoofer; Make better use of the subwoofer channel in 5.1 surround sound. Players with 'Buttkickers' barely feel anything, compared to TDU1 which was very communicative in this area. ********************************* MULTIPLAYER * Host Options; Allow the host to change all options and kick those who don't abide by what the host sets and block that user from joining that hosts room again until they exit the game or a set time period. Allow a voting option for changing track and class also. * Host Migration; should the host leave this shouldn't end the lobby, just switch the hosting to another player. * Increase Finish Timer; 30 secs is enough on a drag race but not on an island sprint or a 30 mile rally so allow the Host to select the length of the Finish Timer from 30 secs to 10 mins if need be. * Isolate Session; again referencing TDU and the ways it used to work you could 'Isolate' yourself and those you were 'Locked' to into it's own session and not have to worry about others joining or whatnot. Sure this became a slight issue if someone wanted to join but for the most part you could work around that by just Locking each other and Isolating again. * Real-time Lock/Unlock; having to bring up the ingame menu and then find the player you wish to Lock to or even Unlock is kind of strange compared to TDU's simple menu which you could use in real time while moving on the road. Please bring this functionality back as well as the above, the Up and Down D-pad are still available to use if wonders for where this could be placed in the control structure are needed. (PC obviously has plenty of buttons for this) ********************************* CLUB vs CLUB * No Collisions; give players the ability to select if they wish to race in challenges with or without collisions. * Basic Setup of Races; allow creators of Challenges to select whether collisions are on. * No need to Race; TDU and TDU2 was and is for a large part all about the driving, not so much the racing so how about giving those clubs who aren't really into racing the ability to Level up their clubs by doing internal cruises and challenges. Example an island cruise lasting near an hour with a full session (8) gives a 1000 XP. :) Doing Green Multiplayer Challenges on the map could give XP also. ********************************* PC * Proper Force Feedback for wheels with full clutch support... like TDU. * Track IR support * Transmission detection like TDU; is the car a manual or paddle shift, does it have more than 6 gears? This was a great feature people really liked about TDU. Please bring it back * Keep the Launcher News Updated with latest releases, upcoming packs and planned maintenance. ********************************* XBOX 360 * Ability to export our Photomode images. * Improved quality and less compression of Photos. ********************************* PS3 *

Alrighty, let's do another 'TDU2 needs'. I will post up a thread where people can post their needs and wants etc which I will then compose and send to Atari and Eden next Friday; ooh the 13th. Genuine and only 2 suggestions at a time per post thanks just like last time.

Yeah that would be a great idea, just little details like this really add to the whole excitement of what's to come. It's the little details that do get noticed.

I have to say I feel Ibiza is wasted due to the handling, all those twisty and narrow roads and no real way to properly thrash or feel you are thrashing the car around them. O'ahu is the choice just now because the wideness of the roads makes driving round them fairly easy but in all honesty if I could properly hurl a car with the rear stepping out and the power causing trouble over dips and rises then it would be Ibiza all the way. Put on TDU and hit the Keleoke pass and then look at how much of Ibiza is like that and then think of the fun that could be had on it.

Doesn't it sound more like a RUF?

That one to be fair did need fixed, however I agree that not actually being able to run the final Cup (the whole thing) and winning the prize again was a strange thing to leave out.

LOL so nice of you to join us just to humiliate your mate. :lol:

And it's your right to do so as well, what it comes down to though is if those saying this is what we're going to do are actually listening and hearing what the people who continue to endure and even play this game actually want. It was the vast environment and the driving that made TDU last so long for most, the social aspect was created by us just chatting and cruising with mates, I don't remember anyone actually asking for a worse driving feel and more to do apart from driving. lol I can understand the wheel support not getting much love on the PC due to - if true - the sales on the platform though without knowing the download/Steam totals it's hard to say either way. However at the same time, the wheel, gear shift and clutch support was what sold TDU to many PC players in the first place, a good way to chill after a heavy night on LFS or iRacing. :cool:

First party developers are always going to have a massive edge in that area though, now if you'd picked another third party developer akin to Eden then fair enough. Take for example Bizarre Creations, actually you can't as until certain tools became available you couldn't really do much with thier games back then anyway. I think the truth of the matter is there needs to be something server side and a strike or card system in regards to it. Not so serious offences a simple warning, repeat offence a strike 1/yellow card, another a temporary suspension from online play. And so on until your details are passed on or simply blocked access completely.

You have indeed.

You really want that Friends List huh? I do have to say it is good when it's working though. Yeah Q&A seems a bit ironic with the Exploration Pack especially in how easy and abundant the issue occurs. They really need better personnel in that area.

The main reason is it's annoying because the devs have to spend some of their time working on ways of stopping those people. I don't like unlock DLC as much as the next person and personally hate they have gone down this path, as has been shown in the past with other titles if you go go down this route then people will try and get it for free, it's inevitable in todays society. I also find it funny how many people take this stance and yet won't do the same with other games because somehow they like that game more. Either way it's a negative both ways and like I said I don't get why companies choose to do it. When you consider that if you say $20 of a new games sale (on release) goes to the developer that means you only need 50,000 to make $1m whereas to hold back or keep content on the disc and people find out and thus don't buy the game. Then of course you need the ones who did purchase to do it, and that $1m is very far away in reach.

If you don't understand the difference between modding a game that is over 4 years old and a game that is not even 3 months then I can't help. :cheeky: Also if you're modding to have cars that actually require purchasing then you are effectively stealing from the developers. Hopefully if the hackers are stupid enough to take their ventures online and thus be noticed/logged then Atari/Eden will pass over their details to MS and Sony resulting in a temporary suspension or even a console ban. And as for the PC maybe a serial ban for those muppets.

start from the most traffic to the least there are many others, image only showing the top 12 data is based on one month period

They're not actually in the game to use, the ZR-1 and SL65 Black are driveable in Convoy missions but are not as far as I know able to buy. Also don't post videos or media containing cars you shouldn't have. (message has been deleted)

We know about getting to drive cars that aren't in the game as sold due to the Audi R8 V8 but with the new Exploration Pack essentially showing us what's coming and in a way allowing us to sample before we buy, I was wondering what you think about this approach? I like the cnstruction sites don't get me wrong, the whole new car being in the game though is something I'm not sure about and would like to hear what you guys got to say. Do you not like the fact that you can use those cars but can't get them so to speak? or Do you like being able to use them and maybe even give feedback on them before they are actually released for us to be able to buy? I'm not sure where I stand to be honest as imo this just opens up more things for the modders and hackers to "take" so unless they have damn good cheat/hack protection and enforce it I'm not sure if it's great or not. :confused:
