Maybe this will help: :) Hopefully TDU2 allows us to pull off more spectacular burnouts

If you own something and want to let the rest of us know if it's any good or not, post a mini review of the product or game (include platform) here. Include a couple of pros/cons and a score out of 100%. If possible, try to mention things you've learnt from your own experience of the product instead of repeating the main points of larger reviews. If a mini review catches our attention, we can research it more. Example: Test Drive Unlimited (PC Game) + Open world (cruising) + Lots of cars + Cockpit view with 2DOF TrackIR support - Online server not always available, hard to connect with friends - Car sounds are innacurate - Car brakes are badly implemented in both physic modes Score - 78% Nokia N96 (Mobile [smart]Phone) + 16GB memory built in plus mini-SD slot for high capacity cards + Great hardware (GPS, TV Tuner/PVR, 5MP camera, lots of buttons quick access to functions) + Nokia Maps software - Doesn't qualify for Nokia's 'Free Forever' navigation service (yet?) A License in Australia costs $15/year) - Phone occasionally develops a freezing problem (every few months) and you'll have to perform a Factory Reset - No touchscreen. Graphical User Interface isn't brilliant. Score - 74% (I didn't spend much time thinking about the TDU Mini Review (it's an example), so don't all go screaming that the score should be higher or lower) :) If you own Blur or Split Second or have recently gone to see Eden Games in France, please post below ;)

Nice. Can you borrow James May's tie-camera. Lee won't be reading this post, will he? :nuts:

Yes, but only Unranked races can be stringed together, which does nothing to improve your achievements unfortunately. Ranked matches kick you back out of the lobby one the race is finished, and the few times you get a race going with a friend, some n00b turns up in a S7 or something and isn't using Hardcore mode. :( I've hosted MP race tournaments via the forums in the past, I may do so again before TDU2 comes out.

Since there is no moon gravity in TDU2, will the fences have open gates for us to drive into all areas that would otherwise be inaccesible? What objects in the islands are destructable? (e.g. Sign posts, lamp poles, fences, small trees, etc) In what ways can you search for and join a friend besides the map? What filters will we have on the map screen? Has the auto-reset been disabled when you flip (I think answer here is yes) OR if you are submerged in water (pond/river/ocean)? I would rather choose when to reset myself via the button method. Will music played via the radio station sound different depending on what vehicle you're in (i.e. tinny in a classic car, much nicer in a modern car). Will you be able to upgrade your car audio system? Is there a 'Be The Cop' mode? Will police chases occur online? Is there an instant replay feature in case you just miss a photo or [Fraps] filming opportunity?

The Beta program would provide little value to the devs if the participants were chosen randomly, otherwise they wouldn't ask us to fill in a form. They might even check the email address we used to sign up to the TDU2 website to check out our TDU1 account (assuming the same address was used) for further insight, but I'm not sure about that.

Unless there is a NDA

I guess I won't be filming any videos at 1080p & 40FPS. Maybe if I go SLI.... ;)

Nice pic, but keep in mind that VIR don't like hotlinking, Leadfoot (at least I can never get your links to work) http://www.virtualr.net/test-drive-unlimited-2-release-date-beta-signup-open/

I thought we were helping someone else, basically. My bad. :) You can ignore my post on Pgae 1 if you like, not sure how relevant the info is in the US.

Have you installed the 1.66a patch? A quick Google search will find it for you

For now: I wanted the pic to look like drifting when I took it, but it's really a burnout. I was only doing about 20kph there. :nuts:

I'd be most surprised if Lee didn't personally invite you to the TDU2 Beta program Diablo :)

You need to remove the the contents of this folder: Show hidden files and folders via Control Panel - Folder Options - View Settings tab XP: C:\Documents and Settings\you\Application Data\Test Drive Unlimited Vista/7: C:\ProgramData\Test Drive Unlimited.

I'm sure it's on EBay somewhere cheap

Looking forward to the final result, keep up the good work

I can't remember the last time I saw recommended specs like that. To think that only 2 graphics cards ago I was using an 8800 GTS 320mb and now it's classed as minimum. Hopefully they make the new trailers on a PC that lives up to the recommended specs - should look saweeeet ;)

Uhh, then why doesn't his mum ask a question here? ;) I really haven't been noticing, I thought we were helping the TDU_(insert-rest-of-name-here) guy from New Zealand. :ill:

Well if someone accuses you of cheating to get lots of money in TDU2, you might, uhh, have a good excuse :cheeky:

Just like Mythbusters, only we already know the answer to the question: Is it a good idea to microwave this. Cheers for the vid ;)

Nice pics. Not a big fan of those roads though :)

Good to hear - I read a few 'meh' and 'repetitive' comments about the game. It's annoying how some people already have the game and other countries don't. June release for Australia. No wonder so many acquire PC games using illegal methods. I'm still waiting for Steam to let me purchase Blur.

Gotta love how no-one trusts Atari with digital downloads of TDU2 this time around, and I don't blame them :D

The trend so far is usually around Friday. 'Very soon' doesn't fit in too well with next week, so who knows how quickly it'll be released. He said that he saw the trailer but didn't mention that it needed tweaking or anything, so I reckon we could see it within 36 hours. Where to look, what to type in Google to find it??? :)
