Render me Speechless Earlier this year there was a discovery about a racing game being developed by Ivory Tower (Ivory) for current and maybe even next-gen systems. Ivory is a team made-up of a number of original Test Drive Unlimited (TDU) devs (TDUteam) including the main man responsible for the physics and device support as well as a slew of other talented individuals. This team looks to be creating the game for Ubisoft or is working in co-operation with them on a project, either way it makes sense as Ubisoft have some huge titles in many genres except for the driving/racing one. Those of you who have been on our forum community for a while know that this is nothing new and that we really wish for the Ivory game to be a true successor to TDU and are awaiting news and information about this title with bated breath. The actual successor Test Drive Unlimited 2 (TDU2) was regarded as a bit of a disappointment and even though it has the visuals, environment and a fun side-game with the Casino, the handling and poor Force Feedback (FFB) wheel support drove many ardent TDU fans away. Couple this with the dismal support of the game by Atari and the constant connection and server issues and you have a game that even today acts more like a Beta than a proper retail release. So what exactly do we have here then? To be honest we don't know and in all fairness it could be nothing but Hughes Poncet is a former employee of Eden Games and is or was at Ivory, and if we look at the name of the images as they were posted especially the last part, then eyebrow raising beckons; InGameVehiclesbyIvoryTower & InGameVehiclebyIvoryTower. Of course this could simply be a talented modeller showing what the software in question is capable of producing, but it doesn't stop us imagining what if does it?! There have been findings of a recent playtest hinting that more info and maybe even an announcement is coming shortly but again nothing official at this time. https://twitter.com/HerveGengler/status/291587042800988160 [gallery size=gallery-thumbnail" itemtag="div" icontag="span" link="file" columns="5]
