Some more gameplay here: E3: The Crew gameplay - Gamersyde

It is still tdu2 physics, if u want to say that.
But with those car statistics you can make it feel a lot better.
I mean a LOT.
I uploaded 2 preview videos on youtube if someone wants to take a look.
 

 

:) I remember when you attended to this playtest, guys.
It was a time when everything was possible ... in fact that was what we were believing !
 
Later in January 2011, I had a playtest session with press before release, and looked like that was not even the same game. Things had been even worse since then !
Sorry for offtopic :D
 
Now waiting for other promising projects as Assetto Corsa and Ivory Tower's. I can't put my hopes on TDU1, as if Speeder's project gives anything, the game is outdated already. In particular, the lack of online mode is a NOGO for me. Let's move on.

Hmm how do we say that? Ah yes: s00n! :D
(early WIP :p)

Ah I have some "news" about the project. I used my spy skills and stuff to find some twitter account of Ivory Tower employees. :D
Well the news is that the game seems to be already in test sessions, which is not a bad thing. But they still need Ubisoft approval to reveal the title of that game.
 
Twitter / HerveGengler: @Oxydam @_KiruB_ Hey ! Tas ...
 

 
Ah and also I noticed that most of the jobs offers mention "next-gen plateforms", which would be linked with the future announce of the PS4 and Xbox3 this year.

I'd just like to add to the thread that...
 
everything good people has achieved in TDU modding is because driving with TDU1 was such a pleasure. From here motivation was born :)
 
You know, I just started in creating a little tool to convert (in quick and dirty mode) tdu textures to dds and vice versa. And I had hopes in this game.
What better than working on this (very hard sometimes), knowing that a few hours later you will be able to enjoy riding with the mates !
 
Everyone need to be rewarded for efforts. I can tell TDU1 has rewarded us so much. It's sad to say TDU2 can't in my opinion.
 
But anyway, modding need creative people with hopes and curiosity to give anything. So I'm not aiming to break anyone's hopes, just explaining why I'm working on other subjects now.
 
I won't be very far as always, hoping for a 'solid as rock TDU3 or whatever' :D

This is just for some fun, and my sums could be wrong, but I've made up this Excel profit calculator for you to play with.
 
Just enter in how many million copies of the game you think will be sold, then enter the QTY for each tool pack you've purchased, then enter your exchange rate with the Euro and see what happens.
 
Again if this moves you spend more money I won't be held responsible for the outcomes :)
 
 
Feel free to share your estimations if you want

I sure hope it sells as good as NFS Shift did :lol:

I'm pretty confident you can run the server on a average PC, just requiring a good internet connection.
I remember the server had to be rebooted and service stopped regularly, to install Windows updates !
Now it's very easy to install a virtual machine running with any operating system.
 
Besides, it appeared that the link with gamespy has been broken as well. Chances are server does not depend on any 3rd party service.
 
I'd say, if we get the files, 80% of chances :)
 
 
But as you said Ryzza, if we are not able to getting those damn server binaries, that's would be the end.

RIP TDU1
 
TDU2 is quite good where TDU1 was bad. I think about road surface smooth, 3D engine lightning render, and some various improvement here and there.
 
But in fact, there is funny features, and "absolutely need" features. This last one is "the feeling of driving a car" very helped by G25 or others advanced steering wheels. TDU1 was able to make me feel a bit like driving a car, not very accuracy as I would like, but there is some sensation. If you replace TDU1's model car by a green cube, you'll continue to feel to drive a car, if you replace TDU2's model car by a green cube, you'll just come to understand what TDU2's physics feel like, in seeing this cube moving, just a basic géometry stuff sliding on a 3D surface.
 
I think a copy of TDU1 with improved physics could be more appreciated by comunity than the actual unusable TDU2 [insert various slang here]! Just to mean that a developpement team (as game editors) have to think twice about the real priority before to spend some years of work.
 
I guess the TDU2 fail will be a good lesson for Forza Horizon and Ivory Tower's project. We can expect for better physics there.
 
 
 
 
About me, I will be not on Forza Horizon, even it looks like to become a great game. Steering wheel compatibility, console investissement, no modding, weak hardware, this game is not really made for me, but I hope it'll have a great success and people have fun on there, for the sake of the TDU-like game style.
 
 
Me and Xiorxorn will continue to work on PC modding, we choosed Assetto Corsa for its advanced graphics, developpement tools (cars & environnement), little developpement team in a human scale, advanced physics but drivable by everyone.
 
I hope to see you there guys :)
 
 
Thanks TDUC and comunity for support us along the TDU's adventure, have nice ride again anywhere you go! :rtr: :D
