In the same vain, as much as I love my luxobarges such as the RR Phantom, Bentley Flying Spurs and the early 2000's Maybachs... The rest of my choices are very much that of the Sharps I guess.

Nice yellow Mazda Cosmo!

I never saw news of it till the other day! Man I'm behind these days! I'm not 100% to think of it, Hong Kong doesn't exactly set me alight as a location. My first thought's is of course of a massive city. Of course, outside the city there is a lot of nice countryside! Size wise, not as 'small' as I thought, area is 1,106Km2, it's just under 2 Ibiza's! I don't know what it is, but it just doesn't set me alight. When I think Hawaii I think tropical paradise, when I think Ibiza I think summer holiday & partying, when I think Hong Kong I think...a urban environment and Government unrest. Still going to keep an eye out for it, but can't see myself rushing to buy it.

Never saw what side the drivers were on, but as we know games will often just use LHD as if the modules are reused it's easyer, less people will moan if a car is LHD rather than RHD let's be honest! I never knew the sizes of the Forza maps, they've always seemed tiny to me but that's because you can just aim in any direction, hit the throttle and keep going at speed till you hit an immovable object, and the fact cars gain speed stupidly quick. But yeah the island would be rather small, even if it had all the Channel Islands in! In the end I'm just throwing a stab in the dark, as thats all anyone can really do of now! But the placeholder number plate idea is most likly of now, that or it's the one all cars in the SC will wear.
-
Underwhelming, yeah, expected some gameplay. Guess just a teaser to get folk to remember the game is still there. Anyway, lets speculate on location again... Number plate is oblong, black with silver lettering & a logo (The Solar Crown one). Now a place I can think of that rich folk live on (or say to, for tax reasons) that's is an island that doing a 1-1 scale wouldn't be a crazy idea...that also has a number plate that's not too different from it... Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands. Scenery there is nice, weather is good too. With a bit of artistic licensing it'd polish up well. Just a stab in the dark from the little info there is. Edit: Just seen elsewhere people pointing out that Singapore also uses a number plate like that! Which would make much more sense for the sense of the rich & casinos. Personally between the two I'd rather Guernsey.

I disappear for a few months, completely forgot about TDU:SC and then was somewhat disappointed when I seen there's been no news on it what so ever. Shame. Hopeful we hear something this year.

Oh, old-new faces! Good to see - Seeing how it's had a 5 year plan so far leaves me with hope, also means less of a wait I'm sure. Can't wait for some more info to come out.

The checklist you've got there @Ryzza5 is spot on for myslef! If it was't for TDU aiming for "The High life" idea, you'd be limitless on locations! I mean take the Isle of Man here in the UK, it's got good roads and a lot of wealth (Not a Tax dodge....) as well as nice scenery. But its hardly a sunny paradise!

Okinawa would actually be pretty sweet. Size wise, it's smaller than O'ahu but bigger than Ibiza. It would also bring a good mix of urban and nature. It's truly an amazing peace of paradise. Kyushu would be great also, but it's a damm big island! Sadly though I don't think it would work with the whole TDU vibe myself as it doesn't have the pull or amour that Hawaii or Ibiza has. In the same way if I'm thinking of good driving roads, nice scenery, vibrant city life and 'The Highlife'...the French Riviera comes to mind rather than The Highlands of Scotland. For now All we can do is guess. I mean who'd to say it's even going to be an island?

Despite having 5 cars on the drive It's not as impressive as you'd think 2000 Lexus LS400 - 280hp 2015 Abarth 595 - 140hp 2000 VW Golf 2.0 Convertible - 114hp 2003 Astra estate 1.7Cdti - 78hp 1957 Morris Minor - 48bhp A total of 660hp... Now if we limited it to ones that I actually have taxed and on the road...

To bump this back, I offer something simple... Bliss!

1:1 scale, I mean I'm going to use good ol O'ahu for reasons we all know and love. According to google, the landlass of the island is 1,545km squared. Why do I point this out? Well the game Fuel, had a map size 14,400Km squared, or 'About the size of the US state of Connecticut', although that map was rather barren but the size was done back on PS3/360 gen. So I'd guess current and next gen could handle 1:1 of O'ahu. That said, Ibiza is only 571Km squared. Or for a bigger island, lets use the French island of Corsica in the Mediterranean, which is bigger than O'ahu with a landmass of 8,722Km squared. Keeping it local to me, the Isle of Skye has a landmass of 1,656Km squired. It would 100% fit the TDU vibe of glitzy homes, nice weather and having high end designer clothes stores. This is all irrelevant rambling though! As for the 18 rating? I'd guess maybe having a casino again, meaning having the 18+ rating for now keeps them covered for alot of places.

Your not the only one...the PTSD from following the TDU2 Hype train still lingers in my mind.
-
HypeHyp Hype The TDU2 Facebook page, not been updated since 2013 has just added a photo, updated profile pic and a video... Video is nothing, but the fact stuff has been changed on the TDU2 FB page(no doubt a name change is coming) and now posting after so long is something. Going by the logo I'd guess Solar Crown is a top choice for the name.
