easy there, just because something will apparently be happening on Monday, that does not mean that Diablo will be able to tell us everything he sees there. he still has secrets from his first visit that he has not yet shared with everyone.

i have to disagree about NFS HP2. I had a lot of fun with that game, and still one of my favorites.

 

HEYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! i reached 100 posts and now i have 4?!?!??!?!? come on mods!!!!!

never, EVER "brag" about your post count in here

i agree. i personally HATED the zero gravity effect of Hardcore mode. so i refused to use it. because of that i get called names and people refuse to cruise with me because i'm an "arcader" and "cant handle HC like the Big Boys". oh well,not my problem.

yeah, i know a lot of people want to claim that HC is more "lifelike".......really?

the stuff i witness people doing in game with HC is most certainly not lifelike in any way shape or form.

James Bond fans with deep pockets will soon have the chance to get their hands on the ultimate piece of 007 memorabilia, as the martini-sipping, daredevil spy's Aston Martin DB5 goes up for auction next month.

The sleek silver sports car, driven by the British secret agent played by Sean Connery in "Goldfinger," kicked off the gadgetmania for which the Bond films, based on Ian Fleming's novels, later became known.

The DB5 being sold is factory-fitted with gadgets including the machine guns, revolving number plates, oil slick sprayer and smoke screen that helped 007, aided by Bond Girl Pussy Galore, outwit gold smuggler Auric Goldfinger in the 1964 blockbuster.

Nothing in my box... :(

I'm a devious fan of TDU, but I don't have my key.

What's the problem? :p

ummm.....by any chance did you mean "devoted" fan of TDU?

this gives a little more detail about the release.

Posted by The_PC_Gamer on Sep 13, 2010 10:00

"Atari, along with developer Eden Games, announced today that the initial phase of its closed beta testing has begun and an elite group of dedicated beta testers have been chosen to help ensure Test Drive Unlimited 2 delivers the ultimate blend of exhilaration, open-world racing and luxurious, fast-lane lifestyle living. Test Drive Unlimited 2 will make its way onto retail shelves in Q1 2011.

With TDU2’s patented Massively Open Online Racing system, closed beta testers will be immersed with day/night cycles, changing weather and automatic updates of new content. As they help shape a revolution in multiplayer racing communities, players will compete, team up, and share their achievements and creations online.

In addition to racing and customising your character, players can participate in one of the largest and most comprehensive social multiplayer driving experiences through the creation of clubs comprised of friend networks that players build along the way.

Closed beta testers have been selected based on their knowledge of the racing genre, passion for video games, and gaming system requirements. The closed beta testing phase is based on the PC version of the game. Atari is still reviewing and confirming users’ eligibility and will invite more testers to this elite group via email with a download location and instructions for the closed beta client. All closed beta testers must agree to a non-disclosure agreement and complete the full beta application process online."

somehow, i knew you would suggest a Corvette

i'd say the TVR Tuscan S. fully tuned, it goes for 170,000

0-60 in 3.4

top speed of 209

good handling and acceleration, and its a convertible.

in the PC version, you can move the cars around using the list and swapping cars from one garage to the other. go to a garage, select list, find the car you want and right click it. the cars name should be in red now. it cannot be a car you are "driving" currently, those show up in yellow on the list.

now find a car from the other garage,the one you want the first car to go to. left click it,and the swap should be done. only works if that garage has cars in it to begin with.

as for filling the "newest" garage, it seems that the garages get filled in the order the houses were bought. so if you bought 3 houses at once, with a 4 car house being first, a 6 car house second and a 10 car house third, the cars will go to the 4 car house first

The lack of news has also made IGN do odd things:

See the updates of 8 and 9 September? Click them :p

 

If they'd just freakin' publish that hands-on review they did... I bet we'll get it after TDU2 release ¬¬

well, guess my old age has caught me. i dont see these updates in there.

i see 2 for goldeneye,1 for resident evil,1 for guitar hero and 1 for lego star wars. all dated for the 9th

speaking of that,wreck hunting, this is the kind of thing i would like to see. and it could count as a co-pilot feature too,with the co-pilot giving directions.

agreed, the cars shown so far have been great, but thats old news now.

time to spoil us a little bit,after all, we're worth it.

well, if moths are involved then we need the help of the biggest, baddest moth of them all

MOTHRA

yeah, Centipede would be cool. as would one of the versions of Tempest, or Vindicators

but then i am a bit biased as those are 10 feet away from me

i'll believe it when i see it.

install the patch when the game is NOT running. you cannot have the game running when updating, it wont work.

no point to it really. i'm positive it wil not be in the game at release, and if it ever becomes DLC it would only work for those who downloaded it. personally,i would never install such a thing, as i see no benefit to it. its a game, not real life.

honestly, i dont see where the fun of it would come from. you want to penalize yourself for wrecking one of your cars? where is the fun in that?

i used to get that at least once a week when using the 1.67D community patch. since deleting it, have had no problems at all

yeah, what he said^^^^^^

would someone please explain to me just how they think they would EVER find time to thoroughly test that many bikes?

narrow that list to one or two per manufacturer and you would still have way too many bikes to enjoy properly.

you guys need to think in terms similar to TDU1 and its bike list, with mA and mB class rankings, then narrow the list down to the ultimate bikes to fill those slots.

not saying those are official classes,just a safe bet on my part that stuff like that will carry over to TDU2

Red Barchetta- Rush

Slick Black Cadillac- Quiet Riot

Greased Lightning- John Travolta/Grease soundtrack

alternate tracks

Jesus built my hotrod- Ministry

Jerry was a racecar driver- Primus

Truckin'-The Grateful Dead

monstro, remember something...its just a game. non gamers would say that we waste our lives playing games in the first place when we could be out doing something with friends and family. if this kind of thing brings out such animosity in you, i hope nothing truly bad ever happens to you or your loved ones.

lets put this in perspective here, as many similar posts have been made here and at the tdu2 forums. IT IS ONLY A GAME, a way to pass time. none of us will ever get paid for playing, in all likelihood it will never help us get that dream job or meet our "Soul Mate".

it is just a habit, a hobby, a diversion from the every day nonsense. nothing more,nothing less.
