Hey everyone - just a quick note of thanks to you all for just being nice on the forums and not causing too much grief with discussing the various mods and technical difficulties. It must be all those chilled Hawaiian vibes floating around here. (old shots) You can share your TDU1 pics in the Gallery: ]

I often check the home page now to see what's new, followed by the Activity stream or the duckspam in Discord. We could possibly have a small widget showing upcoming events on the turboduck calendar, but if anything newsworthy is there I can add it to Our Picks.

I've been playing a bit of TC2 the last few days with an online friend from 10 years ago back with TDU1. .

Could you also add this to the Downloads section of this website for others with beefy PC's?

I decided to pick up NFS The Run for $4.45 as it was never available as part of the Origin Access subscription that I occasionally get. I know the game reviewed poorly but a number of the tracks were very good fun imo and reminded me a bit of much older racing games I played in the 1990's - only with much-improved graphics. I also found the gamepad physics/handling to be fun - better than the Criterion Games style.

One thing I don't like so much about FH games is that you often have to tune cars up so much to be competitive online that they lose their enjoyable handling characteristics. This was never an issue in TDU.

I stumbled across this video which shows just how revolutionary our beloved Test Drive Unlimited game was (for 2006-7). Fast forward 12 years later and some of these features are yet to be given to Forza players: And before you go on about how FH4 has winter... What are some of your favourite features from older games like TDU1 that you'd like to see make a comeback?

Welcome to the duck!

Welcome to the forums Misu

Also if you view Rushy's twitter page you'll see more comments clarifying the above, but also interestingly - he is now a part of Slightly Mad Studios.

Former game director Paul Rustchynsky has clarified that the game will be delisted due to a standard 5-year licence deal expiration which is not related to the studio shutdown. Of course, if Sony can't sell the game any more, you can understand why they might terminate online services for it. Paul also clarified that any content you already own can still be downloaded from the store (i.e. if you replace your console) - the delisting simply means you can no longer purchase the game or DLC.

My suggestion would be to see if it's possible to improve the post Editor/creator (i.e. where I'm typing right now). I still have some difficulty editing articles that have quotes in them for example - the quotes end up bigger (take more lines) than what I wanted. In the NMS article a quote touches the next subheading underneath when I had an extra blank line to separate them - so it doesn't look quite as good imho.
