Loque

Haha, did you witness the amount of fuel those Murcie's chuck out the exhaust then? If it's your bag you might wanna check out some of the Pistonheads meets or even the Petrolhead Nirvana tours. For the most part they're really nice guys as well and don't look down on you for having a rubbish car [mod edit:] Please do not swear or use asterisk's to mimic swearing, thanks.

Quality motor that...

It seems to have gone pretty un-noticed, but I really miss Maserati... My old Gransport in TDU1 was an absolute rocket.

Oahu it is for me. :)

Probably held back due to time constraints... Either that or they conveniently forgot about it...

Got overtaken by a Maserati Gransport this morning... Tried to give chase if only to keep up with the noise... Failied miserably... :D

I'm actually not particularly smug about anybody not having the 458. It was in the feature list, so it should be in the game regardless of format. There are a few similar issues that I've spied on Playstation to the 458 one and it's just not cricket. The manual, unfortunately for this game is a joke; it's clearly been written by a five-year-old as it's basically a pack of lies and at times unintelligible. I think I, or most of the users on this forum could've actually come up with something far more suitable. :( I have to admit I thought Eden would jump on the whole dance music thing, and I am a bit surprised not to see any in the game, but there we go. Unfortunately voice chat on the PS3 is shocking. There is no way that we can use Sony's system whilst playing a game; it's possibly the most bodgetastic and ham-fisted approach to the idea that you could imagine. [Maybe some of the developers left Sony and went to work for Eden.... hehe...] I'm not offended, and clearly took your post in the wrong tone. My mistake...

Would you like a cup of smug to go with your smug grin there? Seriously, in the manual it even says that there is an option to turn voice chat on/off, this just doesn't exist in the game. For once it's not Sony's fault. Would you like some more smug? :) Great, I'm glad for you; we can't. This is the PS3 section of the forum, not the 'lets all shout at how much better my xbox is.' I can play Blu-Rays. I don't pay for my online service... Blah blah blah. 'Proper Rock Music' [What the hell is that?] isn't an Ibiza thing. Well No, it kinda is these days; ever heard of Ibiza Rocks? It's quite a large rock festival in Ibiza, I will say there's a lot of Indie kids that dig it and you might not call that 'Proper Rock Music' [i think I'll retreat to my Megadeth and Iron Maiden collection now...] but the rock station on TDU2 doesn't even come close on that scene either. Perhaps you were expectng some trance music? Dance? Acid House? Yeah I could dig that as well, but it's not the only way Ibiza rolls.

Good luck catching anything in an H3. Sure, I see what everyone is saying about the Veyron... But most of the cars are gone like a fart in the wind when put up against an H3. Sure you might be able to get something off road, but if you're driving your 370Z around off road consistently then you deserve to get battered.

I don't think we're going to get a proper hardcore mode in this game. There's too many other bugs that need ironing out to even think about bothering improving things.

E30 M3 everytime.

Hah. Lancia Delta.

I personally haven't been going by stats at all, more by the cars that I'd rather own and ones that are nicer to drive on the test drive. I personally think it's quite fun driving between all the dealerships just to take a car out for a spin, here's what I've found so far: C4 - Lancia Delta Integrale HF [bizarrely, this is one of the cars in the game I really, really want to own] C3 - Ferrari 308 B4 - Range Rover Sport B3 - Spyker D8 [Fantastic!] A7 - Alfa MiTo A6 - Nissan 370Z [suprised more people haven't gone for this one... Sure the Scooby ain't bad but they're common as muck. My 370 has destroyed all the A6 events too...] A5 - Audi S5 A4 - I don't have one at the moment... A3 - Benz CLK63 Black Edition A2 - Ginetta F400 - The car I actually usually drive around in, either that or the Lancia. A1 - Mclaren MP4-12C [This is by no means the quickest and it's a right handful as well - I think you're gonna have to get a Veyron/Konny to win the champs]

Mega bad times dude. DirectX and all that jazz fully updated...?

Interesting. How do you slip it when you want to pull off? Just a case of dumping it or is there a little more technique than that?

Clutching on a joypad? You're brave... Clutching on TDU1 was alright... Quite a long way from perfect, but that's mainly due to the fact that a clutch on a G25/27 or Fanatec wheel feels absolutely sod all like a real clutch... But there we go. From what people are saying I'd hate to think what it's like on the new game.

None of the sounds are all that impressive to be honest. I think the Dino sounds pretty decent just before the redline though.

Look for one of the random challenges, you can occasionally find a 30+ grand one, and that's for about 5 minutes work.

Dont worry mate, I was only joking. I'm quite thick skinned about driving a Hyundai... :) Epic shots TDUFREAK!

Yeah it's my coupe... No need to be so nasty about it! :(

Have a good one!

Hi all, Thought i'd introduce myself - got TDU2 today and I'm actually rather enjoying it Been a veteran since release day of TDU1... :) Hope to see everybody in Ibiza...

I'm nothing special by any means and I'm not adverse to a bit of PP... http://www.fluxweb.org.uk/PS/Coupe/PS1.jpg As for going au natrual: My personal favourite: [mod edit:] Please do not post images larger than 350KB, use a thumbnail or a text link instead, thanks!

Not to be one that wants to defend this game here, but it is TDU2 not 'Another game that's a lot like TDU but infinitely better 2' - it wouldn't be TDU2 if it was bug free. I think a lot of people around the place seem to have this rose-tinted vision of what TDU1 was like. It was buggy, it didn't feel finished by a long shot. Up until the announcement for TDU2 there were people begging Atari for a patch on their forum. To jog your memory remember how far out the Speedometers were compared to the speed traps? Remember the fact the Alfa GT's Speedo didn't even sync with itself? The voice acting was always crap. Story? There... Was a story in TDU1?... I certainly can't remember it... There were clipping bugs everywhere, just as there are now. I'm not saying it's right to be like that, but it was, is... And unfortunately it's pretty unlikely Eden are going to fix it with patches. A lot of people are winging about the handling too. And yes, it's different. But with a bit of playing with the settings and driving the right car you can tune it to an acceptable level. [i actually think mine's comparable if not better than TDU1 at the moment] TDU1 wasn't perfect by any means again - when you went over a hill or bump it was to be expected that you would shoot off the road. Equally if you went up/down a hill round a corner the handling would turn against you. Focus on the positives. You can walk around - I think that's pretty awesome really. You can tart up your crib and so on. There are a couple of gem cars in the game - I think my MiTo is a right hoot to drive on the road and my Delta is fantastic off it. Again, not all the cars in TDU1 were rosy to drive, some people chose to persevere with them and they were rewarded. [Personally I think the Brera is a right pig - and it was one of my favourites in the first game, but check the leaderboards - all the fastest drivers are using them] People are saying that it's not realistic, and no it isn't - it's some arcade hybrid that hasn't quite worked, but at least there are options to make it more tolerable. As crazy as this sounds - there are some people winging about the realism of the handling of the cars when all they want to do is drive around at the speed limit and use their turn signals all day. Here's an idea - buy a car! Drive it round! Go home. Go to bed. End. IMHO part of the TDU experience is trying to coax a little life out the game and work with it to create a better experience.

Whilst this is a very cool idea, I'll point out that it's a long way from perfect. The second British dealer isn't on there, and if I'm right the listed British dealer is in the wrong place...
