If you've done the work then it should remain complete as a task. Just because you sell your prize cars that you win for collecting the wrecs shouldn't mean you need to find them all again just to achieve the same status/collection points...I think its exactly as the devs intended - which is fair play in my opinion.

i think the most logical conclusion is that this game is cursed.

Nah, too slow for my liking.

do you know a quicker way..?

servers are not working again - stuck on the intro screen after selecting my storage device - same as what happened on the weekend of the release. RIDICULOUS!

Just came up after 7th attempt.

is it possible for eden to run a physics patch for the console versions? I'm not complaining but if they made it less twitchy (I use the pad) the game would be a 10 for me.

i found this - not sure if its up here yet but thought id post anyway:

Mixed messages in these about the handling. As I havent played the beta, and assuming it wont be changed between now a release date, can anyone give shed any light as to whether or not this is still a concern amongst the community?

Hmmm... Still not sure about the handling.

Yours sincerely,

Broken Record

You say Millions of People are stupid because of playing Online Poker?

You think Poker is only gambling, so why there are so many Poker Professionals?

In which small world you live that you have such a tolerant opinion? Oo

1) imo yes

2) Have you ever heard of the term 'professional gambler'?

3) England is a small country

But seriously, in what way would real money fit the product? And how would this dovetail into the actual game - stand-alone or not? If I won $100,000 (ingame currency) at the poker table I can go and by a slick ride, and ultimately - that's why I play the game.

What you are talking about is a completely different proposition, aimed at an entirely different demographic and, as you say, pkr offer this service already, so play both :)

I'll be downloading this when it comes out!

busy here lately, isn't it?

Audi Quattro S1?

They can put what they want in, they could even throw in a wheelbarrow as it's their game. :)

But when I buy it it will be MY game.

As long as they put BMW and Bentley in this time around they can sling in whatever garbage they like !

Will we all be eating Crunchies later Diablo?

Look closely at the map , those orange logo's or signs aren't MOTORBIKE signs?

I think they actually signify 'off road' challenges, as that's the icon that's displayed on the top right corner of the off-road race in the clip above.

Just a guess, though.

Yeah I saw this leaked on youtube on Friday - Eden wont be pleased...

is there anything of value here any more if you don't own a PC and have a key? or will you (especially the site administrators) be keeping the rest of us informed (NDA permitting, clearly)?

I guess that means we'll get more beta footage without having to wait another 3 months for the next trailer!!!

Nothing new here. Also I just did a Chrome translate so there are a few grammatical errors but you get the gist.

Fiestas, dream homes, entertainment and luxury cars throughout the island of Ibiza are the most important ingredients that make Test Drive Unlimited 2. A different driving title and surprised critics and users with their first release and promises to improve all aspects of its predecessor. We enter the Bandai Namco offices in Alameda de Osuna (Madrid) to test the beta version of the title accompanied by Vince Farquharson, executive producer of Test Drive 2, we had the opportunity to interview.

As with the first delivery, Test Drive Unlimited 2 is developed in an open environment which gives us total freedom in deciding where to go and what path we choose to do so. This time, the guys at Eden Games, responsible for developing the title, have been recreated in a completely realistic island of Ibiza, and have done so from multiple photographs and satellite images. The result is fantastic, and allows players to explore the geography of the island over hundreds of kilometers of roads, both paved and off-road, and compete on them.

Also, Test Drive Unlimited 2 will include the popular island of Oahu in Hawaii, star of the first installment of the saga. To mark this, the Hawaiian island has been completely renovated, and besides the roads and places present in Test Drive, we have included new routes and locations that will delight those players who enjoyed the original title. However, Oahu is not available at the beginning of the game, and you must reach a certain level in order to get to the airport and buy our ticket to Hawaii.

In the words of Farquharson, this second part is "big, really big, with about 1,000 km of roads that we can go freely", allowing"interactivity with the environment truly remarkable". If we add a full technical work in designing the scenarios, we have a game in which, in addition to driving enjoyment, we will enjoy the magnificent views it offers different landscapes. And it is to walk a virtual version of Ibiza on board a powerful and luxurious car is an experience that only Test Drive Unlimited 2 has to offer.

Vince Farquharson asking for the election of the Spanish island of the title as the main stage, the producer told us that "we wanted to do something in Europe, and we think that Ibiza was the perfect setting for our game. Test Drive Unlimited 2 seeks the goal that the player is part of living in style, with all kinds of luxuries, cars etc spectacular., And we believe that Ibiza has the features needed to make that experience high life merge seamlessly with the environment. " Also, Farquharson noted that Ibiza is the "popular and well known", which enables the player to quickly integrate with the social possibilities of the game.

So the event was last week, right? Diablo was there and still no information...

The curse of the N*A strikes again.

We'll hear in their own sweet time I guess.

Okay it's official. We went through the whole of September without a single smidgen of information about this game.

I don't even think we should be ramming the NDA down everyones throat - Atari are getting confused and think they are bound by it too - they haven't disclosed ANYTHING for ages.

I think as a community there should be an NDA on the NDA. If I never hear that again it will be too soon.

ATARI: I think YOU are allowed to talk about the game?!?!

I like to eat my breakfast off of smooth round plates. Not jerky ones that go round at angles - it's just unnatural. I also like to have breakfast in a place where people listen to customer feedback and serve me something that resembles something I would make myself, if I had the talent and inclination.

It's all very well having cumberland sausages, organic bacon and even eggs benedict (should the establishment decide to include it), but if the cutlery is clunky, or I'm ignored by my waiter for too long, it just plain spoils the experience for me.

Egg-face..

 

I seriously don't understand how people can still be saying anything to do with breakfast, including saying they've got into it. Especially when over the last ten pages it must have been mentioned about fourty times that you're better off not saying anything about it at all.

 

All of this speculation is hilarious as well. Will stuff be changed or wont it? Who the Hell knows? I doubt even the people who eat Breakfast know. Infact I doubt even Kelloggs know yet.

 

"They aren't getting my money now" - Waahh waahh. Care-O-Meter is at 0%.

 

Yes, I did wake up on the wrong side of an undeniably woeful bed this morning.

Someone hasn't had their weetabix me thinks.

Well said Diablo. I do hope you're right about the beta amendments.

Actually, I have seen some stuff I wont talk about in places I wont mention and it's actually looking better (handling physics). Is that even possible - can they make adjustments during beta?
