Probably not

Whole TDU2 community had a heart attack because of problems with connecting to PC gameservers since 31st of January. There're gone now!

You can go back to driving your favourite UP cars with friends.

What's more, there's an ability to track the status of PC server at the top of this page.

We did some more technical improvements for the website 'in the background' and there's more to come. Our team will provide you with more media content related to upcoming version of the Patch by the end of Feburary, the goodies are on the way!

Yay :)

I think it only means we'll see more screenshots and teasers. But 0.4 is getting nearer for sure!

Omg the Dione rims. Amazing!

Hi guys,

It's been a very long time since I last came to the forum. Just wanted to say that the Unofficial Patch is absolutely brillant.

Thanks to all who work on this.

I wouldn't call it a high praise but I was also surprised.

I loved and still love my Esprit

ok im not to sure about any thin cuz im a bit baked an ive been at it for hours

lol .

The V12 Ferraris sound much worse (especially the Enzo). The Scud sounds like a mosquito, but at low RPM it's actually pretty accurate.

:woot: F40

Nice! Thanks for the vids!

It's hardly customization, but it looks pretty cool.

Again, I highly doubt it, I don't understand why they would dumb down the game on purpose, give me an answer to that and maybe I'll agree with you.

lol

Well I guess they just didn't have enough time and money to do it

Probably because while computer hardware has changed, they are still making it for the same consoles.

TDU1 was on PS2 and X360 (and PSP :rolleyes: :D )

But I'm sure the 360 and PS3 could handle 12 to 16 players online in TDU2...

Another thing to remember is that GTA IV was made by Rockstar games, who probably had a substantially larger budget and development team to code the networking side of the game.

Yes that's true but Eden already figured out all what was needed for 8 players online in TDU1, so I just don't understand why they couldn't improve that over the years of development of TDU2.

Even more so that computer technologies have been upgraded since 2006.

Anyway, I have no doubt that TDU2 will be awesome. It's just the best possible concept of an arcade-style racing game imo.

More detailed as far as "stuff" yes, but think about the car detail in TDU2. You're driving a car where even the seat stitching is seen, that's a lot more than GTA has.

Yeah but all this "stuff" in GTA 4 is breakable or movable and in the end GTA 4 needs more processing power for a reason.

Also, GTA doesn't have near the level of detail of TDU2 and I'll go out on a limb and say the world is smaller as well.

GTA is much more detailed. There are fire hydrants, lamp posts, benches, hot dog stands, road work stuff, mailboxes, trashcans, boxes, dead cats, Michael Jackson, a claustrophobic mouse, and all the sushi you could ever want.

But yeah it's smalller.

More cars + peds require more Internet bandwidth to sync them between the server and all the players. You could in theory increase the traffic in offline mode - but then you need a better video card to keep up, I'm not sure how fully utilized the console hardware is.

GTA 4 has no problem with 16 players online though....

:headbang:

How big is the free roam map?

Small... :/ http://www.gamepur.com/files/images/2010/nfs-hot-pursuit-map.jpg

Well...it's not small but there's not a lot of different roads. Gets boring pretty quick.

wow the new forum look....:ew:

Hmm, that was dull. Too many cars over too may stores.

Yeah it sucks, doesn't it?

It's really ugly. It seriously looks like it's damaged.

Anyone else pick on the blatent slating of Ben Collins? "Some stigs think they can write books!". lol.

Haha yeah.

No idea. Reminds me of an old Lotus Elise...

Sad to see the petrol engines are dying in the supercar world.....:(
