HOAX

In the norwegian version of GameReactor Magazine it says they have tested TDU2 on the cover. Since they published the mag in Norway 2 days before elsewhere I guess there must be something special :D http://www.gamereactor.no/magasin/76 I will drop by Spaceworld or something on monday. Stores are closed on sundays here, sadly.

very nice Viltsua :) Hope you can translate everything :)

Who didn't know that lol Was more intended as a respond for the Aussie guys in the previous posts. Dunno why i quoted you really :D Looking forward to race Gumball Ibiza :D

Not really because if you remember previous game announces, I can only remember it to be after our season and most of the world is non-tropical/-subtropical areas (about 70%). All the biggest gamenews sites (as I know of) uses the same season. Most of Australia is subtropical. Just follow East Asian solar term and you will know when it will be released. As you probably usaly do when you wait for game releases, or?

The price vary's alot from country to country. The average price for a game in Sweden is 399 SEK. In Norway it is usually 599 NOK (724.91 SEK/101.32 USD) in physical stores. Prices are often calculated after average income. In countries where their incomes are pretty low I doubt TDU2 will hit the stores for an price at 100 USD. So, it basicly means that when I buy the game, my wallet wount feel more empty then for an guy who lives elsewhere. There are ofcourse some exceptions.

The english description of season times on Wikipedia is explained in a more complicated way and it also depends where you live and which tradition you use. In the Norwegian description it says: English translation (Google Translator): Astronomical seasons From what is explained above about the Earth's orbit around the sun, and if we define summer as the lightest and warmest time of year and winter as the darkest and coldest, the astronomical seasons will be as follows: * Spring. From approx. 5. February to approx. 6. May. (midpoint = equinox = ca.21. March) * Summer. From approx. 7. May to approx. 6. August. (midpoint = summer = ca.21. June) * Autumn. From approx. 7. August to approx. 16. November. (midpoint = autumn equinox = ca.23. September) * Winter. From approx. 17. November to approx. 5. February. (midpoint = winter solstice = ca.22. December) For some purposes the year is divided into two parts, summer and winter. The astronomical section will then be: * During the summer months. From the spring equinox (ca.21. March) to autumn equinox (around September 23). * Winter season. From the autumn equinox to spring equinox. ----------- EDIT: Meteorological (Translated from Wikipedia.no): * Winter = december, january, february * Spring = march, april, may * Summer = june, july, august * Autumn = september, october, november Half-year season (Translated from Wikipedia.no): * Summer half-year from ca. 16. april to ca. 17. october. * Winter half-year from ca. 18. october to ca. 15. april. It doesn't say which solar term/tradition we use but it says this is what most uses exept from some tropical and subtropical zones. Tropical zones are places where non of the 12 months sinks below +18 °C (average through the month). Tropical areas are around equator. Subtropical zones are places where the warmest month never goes below +20 °C and the winter is mild and does not last for long. Subtropical areas are: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/44/Subtropics.png

http://twitter.com/tdu2 links to an article published by Kotaku.com and in that article it says it will be out this fall, which means between august and october. Let's hope so :) EDIT: Fall is between 7. august and 16. november according Wikipedia.

Not quite right because in demolition derby or destruction derby everyone crashes into each other at det same time. In what I explained you are more chased around on the open space and for the "ticken-guy", he should try to hit you where you get most damage without getting so much damage him self. But yeah, there are some simularities. Destruction Derby was som great games btw.. :D

Would have been cool with a little feature mode like... Some drivers are on a parking lot or an open space and one car is going to hit one of the other cars. Then for the car who gets hit has to hit any of the other cars. This will continue until there are no more cars left cause of car damage. The one that is the smartest will most likely be the last man standing and will win the prize (money or the losers cars). In south of Norway we call it tikken (as in tick someone, if its an english word for it), but its an childgame. Maybe for cars and TDU it could be called Bumper mode.

Wow.... I actually think they have listen in many ways, like.... - Dynamic Weather with a Day and Night cycle - Environment affects your car along with a damage system (car damage system) - Graphics improvements (like they wouldn't if you hadn't sent the docu :D ) - Gas/Fuel station (This is just artwork so far but who knows) - Vehicle selection (Offroad/Artwork, but we may see it) I'm sure there's even more. Some natural improvements, but some not so (gamewise). I really, really hope little things like indicators show up in the game. I loved every points in the document. Let's hope they did too :D Great work there guys :) I will be coming back here every day from now on :D

- A wider selection of cars indeed, but also other vehicles like semi's, trucks, busses, mopeds and more normal cars etc. - Customizations/Tuning/Sound speakers - Blinkers/warning lights - Custom lisence plate - Better graphics/More depth (like in Bad Company 2) - Realistic damagesystem and a way to fix damage fast if needed (ex. while crusing) - The ability to have a friend or four friends to be passengers in the car. - Better physics - Night-/Day cycles. - One house per account, but the ability to expand/build more on the house within "your area". Everyone owns their unique home. - The ability to buy stuff for your home. - The ability to invite friends to your home. - Improved realistic engine sounds. - Wipers + What they have announced. Can't think of anything else at the moment Tho... the game is way beyond planning stage and will allmost by garantee not include anything more than what they have allready put in to it.

I love it :) Then i can see in front of me that races will give more profit. Pluss other things, since they say new things are coming into this sequel. ...or maybe they'll have a function like in Carmageddon (anyone remember the games?), where you hold "Enter" and the car builds it self back to normal :D

That's probably the facts but who knows, they may include a group of islands. Mallorca is about the same size (a little bigger) as Oahu. So they may include Ibiza, Mallorca and Minorca. Games are getting bigger these days so it's not unlikely. Map: http://blog.willamette.edu/people/klutz/journal/archives/spain_map.jpg (Islands on the right) I hope so but if Ibiza will be the only island then I will be enjoying that at max too :D

Fantastic news :) Some bigger and more detailed maps of Isla De Ibiza: http://i48.tinypic.com/xdgjl0.jpg http://i47.tinypic.com/2u8z5mu.jpg Ibiza City Ibiza - Area: 571.04 km² Highest point: Sa Talaia 476 m Population: 113,908 Largest City: Ibiza City 37,408 Oahu - Area: 1,545.40 km² Highest point: Mount Kaʻala 1,220.1 m Population: 905,034 Largest City: Honolulu 371,657 [mod edit:] Please do not post images larger than 350KB, use a thumbnail or a text link instead, thanks! [HOAX] My bad. Will do. Thanks!

Often we see people "formerly" worked on TDU: HL and on Eden's homepage they are still looking for people to hire. ... but, even if they have some administrative problems, could be organizing, communication or financial, I do think the game will be coming sometime 2010/11, tho it`s just a lucky guess and wishful thinking.

Atari nor EdenGames have signed them self up for E3 this year so far but it`s the same with Crytek. Crytek has said they will be showing off their Crysis 2 at E3. So i guess there's still time for signups... http://www.e3expo.com/exhibitors/92/exhibitor-list/ E3 Expo - June 15-17 2010 Nice forum btw... Forums like this must be an inspiration for the game developers. If not, then they should find them self another career.
