Who said you didn't? :dontsteal:

I hope Eden's actions pay off for them (and us). It wouldn't be so bad if their QA department was made up of 51 people :cheeky: Wouldn't a fair few amount of developers be hired as 'contractors' in the sense that both parties knew that their jobs would end after the game was released? Usually redundancies are for permanent staff though.

XFX usually cost moer because they still honor warranty when you overclock/mod the cards to make them perform better. I'm more on the nVidia camp so I'll let someone else help you decide.

I thought most of the TDU1 devs were replaced by new developers anyway around 2007>

Hardcore mode in TDU2 is like having a computer somewhat the opposite of ESP, in that it wants to kill you. Maybe we should call it GlaDOS :p

Apparantly each of the new ones has a identical twin that has a 'K' in it which can be overclocked, whereas the others can't. Just when you thought there weren't enough CPUs to choose from. :rolleyes:

Drive an Audi S5 around Kelekole. It's a constant crash bang wallop of sound effects ;)

*starts laucnher* There's a 14MB fix there

Why waste money on two CPU's - wait until you can get the i5.

It was 3 or 6 months I think (not that long), as it came out with the PC version, and was added as DLC for the X360.

Ahh, I forgot that British Cars = Aston Martin only :lol: Voted for robillard

Get some what? Nice to know they still have fans

Automatic Windows backup of the gamesave folder every night FTW But good work :)

Correct. Inserting a graphics card will render the onboard VGA port useless

Last time I did a ipconfig /release and /renew which got me in.

True. :)

1. Sound - you can't hear rain falling on the car, which to me really stands out. In heavy storms the sound should be very very noticeable. 2. Make better use of the subwoofer channel in 5.1 surround sound. If I turn Buttkicker on I barely feel anything, compared to TDU1 which was very communicative.

We all knew how hard it would be to near-realistically implement and calculate the rate at which fuel would be depleted in cars, depending on the car and way it was driven. It would take them ages to implement, and could you imagine what sort of bugs would be associated with it if we did have it? I wouldn't want to run out of fuel half way through the Tour of the Island races because of a bug. :)

At this point I seriously wish they didn't in the first place :p

Well, for those who owned a wheel, TDU2's handling is a big step in the wrong direction. For a pad, I couldn't care if the physics are GT5 or Mario Kart, as I wouldn't play with a pad for very long in any case. TDU was the reason I and many others bought the G25 (who remembers the 'Smug Owner of a G25' signatures?) so when we all talked about what we wanted for TDU2, we all expected things to progress from TDU1, not get worse. It's not about being a sim, it's about having a car respond to input in a predictable and controllable way, which makes it fun. It's like when TopGear reviewed a certain car and mentioned where if you went 1% over the limit, you'd had it, which meant that you could never drive anywhere near the limit. Compare that to cars that are 'so easy' to control through the corners, and you'll find the presenter usually has a big grin on his face. TDU1 had that (along with bumpy roads and moon gravity), but TDU2 doesn't have any of that. That is why it's not *fun*. There's no sense of achievement where you pull off something spectacular and can then say 'I did that'. If you can't do it, then it gives you something to work towards, a reason to keep playing where all you do is cruise/practice.

Hehe, I wasn't (and still am not really) a Vista basher. It was good if you had a fast PC, and it made faster components available in greater quantities, and hence cheaper which was good, but when 7 came out it was obviously much better.

I don't wanna wait 7 years for it though :(

Of course. As long as they are seen to be implementing the smaller easier 'wants' of the community on a regular basis (say, fortnightly for the PC version, since we have the fancy launcher/updater), then it'll at least help us be patient while they work on the larger stuff like handling tweaks/rebuild. Nobody uses Windows ME, but people still play TDU2, so I thought that was a + for the Vista comparison ;)

Looks good, I probably won't get it though.

We should call it Test Drive Vista, and wait for Test Drive 7 then ;)
