Yeah, I'm talking about the side the steering wheel is on. If Atari/Eden really listened to us, then there will be cars with the steering wheel on both the left and right hand side of the car, like in real life.

If we get PassengerCam™ then I fully expect to get RightHandDriveCam™!

If certain models of cars are only available to the large/influential clubs, then I think the game would be a little bit less awesome. Especially since they say that only one person in the club can be driving it at a time. When you get to the truly huge clubs (Say like the TDU-C club would be) where there could be hundreds of members, it pretty much guarantees that only a handful of the club members would ever actually get to drive it. Add into that that restricting the models you can get takes away from the "Unlimited" aspect of the game, and I think you catch my drift. I'd be all for custom graphics or maybe submodels that can only be had by clubs, but if they limit the number of clubs you can be in like in TDU1 then limiting car models to certain clubs just wouldn't be as fun to me.

Getting it for my PC. My G25 has been looking at me with sad eyes lately, so I need to show it some love. I'm pretty sure that my computer will have the gusto to play it well, since I can play Bad Company 2 on its highest settings without any issues. If not, well there is a little more time to earn the scratch for upgrades.

I agree with you for the most part, but I honestly wouldn't mind paying a relatively low monthly fee for the game provided that they regularly come out with new cars for the game. As far as the anticipated game bit, while the game is highly regarded by the TDU fans, the fanbase itself is a small one compared to other franchises and might be up for experimentation from the developer. I hope that they do stay with the original format (albeit on a larger scale. I want my 20 man cruises danggit!) since it worked really well, but if things evolve I can bear with them so long as they are in a forward direction.

BlueAce is a big time troll from the official Atari forums, and a big reason of why no one really visits that site any more. I suggest the moderators here do this site a big favor and ban them before they cause more headaches or cause members to leave.

Might wrap the car around a tree with careless driving eh? I sure hope that means they made the roads a little better than the first then, since I lost count as to how many times I've wrecked because I hit an errant polygon in the road.

You know, I've been thinking (uh oh) and I've been wondering, does this news feel sort of surreal to anyone else? I know that for me it is still a little difficult, albeit exciting, to think that TDU2 is coming out after all these years.

I don't think I've ever been so excited about a game in my life. I'm just curious about what island it will be on. Hopefully something with some smooth roads! I can't hardly wait to see the official car list. I'm sure it will be epic!

I would really like to see some word of TDU2/Next/whatevertheyarecallingitnow, seeing as I'm getting pretty depressed at the utter lack of good car games out there these days (for PC at least, I don't own nor do I plan on owning any consoles) and TDU is the one car game that I keep coming back to, regardless of how much I've played it. If Atari/Eden can release another car game with that type of staying power, then I'll be singing it's praises until I go hoarse.

I was wondering, with how many mods are coming out with physics, what would it take to put these mods into their own slot like 2CVSUPERGT's Facel and Bugatti mods? I'm up for a challenge, I just want to know what tools I would need and a general direction to look in. And to the modders who spend so much time and effort getting these new cars in a usable state for TDU, would I have your permission to make installers with your car in them, so long as I send the final file to you for distribution (since I know alot of you want to see how many downloads your mods draw)?

Lamborghini Coatl?

Honda CBR or Suzuki Hayabusa

Does anyone besides me think that it looks like the designer came up with this by squinting while looking at a Gallardo (from the front at least)?

Chevy was talking about doing that for a while, then the government bought them. Good luck getting GM to make anything remotely cool like that now.

I hope that they fixed the roads if they are using the same island. I don't want to play TDU2/TDnext and find out that the off-road vehicles work better on the roads than the supercars because the roads are still wonky.

NASCAR is more a sport for the pit crew, but the drivers do need to have a fair amount of skill too. I was actually involved in a circle track team for a while and while I admit that watching the race is downright boring, the amount of setup that goes into each car and being able to drive that setup to its maximum potential requires just as much skill as any other motor sport. Besides, many of the NASCAR drivers participate in other motorsports, so there really isn't a lack of talent behind the wheel. It's just that NASCAR is a simple form of racing that people who know nothing about racing can enjoy. It's loud, it's colorful, there is plenty of speed, the tracks are small enough that you can see the whole race from your seat, and there is the occasional crash. Compare that to say the WTCC or STCC where your seat may only have a single straight or between 1-3 turns in view and the racing is very technical, and you can see why people who really don't go that in depth into racing wouldn't be all that drawn in.

I'll bet that once it hits the race track and enough of the Japanese public sees it, there will be a heavy demand for it's release. If enough people request it, who knows, Honda might actually make it for the public! The squeaky wheel gets the grease, amiright?

Can't remember where I saw this before, but I remembered it when I read this thread.

Maybe some unique clothes for your character, provided that you see more of your character in the next game. If not, then maybe a custom graphic that you can apply to any of your cars (same design buy say you can choose the color), but when you sell it the graphic comes off of it.

More tuning options from respected tuning firms. i.e. in addition to Ford and Saleen for tuning the Mustangs have Shelby, Roush and Steeda as well. AMG and Brabus in addition to Mercedes, etc.

Heh, that reminds me of this: http://www.jonessoda.com/gifs7/product-photos/whoopass-can_us.jpg [mod edit:] Please do not post images larger than 350KB, use a thumbnail or a text link instead, thanks!

Do you have any plans to remake/tweak the C5 Z06? I've been waiting patiently for the pop-up headlights to be made functional and am just curious if my patients will pay off.

the fact that you did this on a plane ride and have been tweaking it over short breaks just blows my mind. I hope this gets released at some point as it looks like a truly epic leap forward for TDU modding.

I seem to have soiled myself..... Can't wait for the release! :D
