test drive unlimited 2 announced

Deffo fake, as people have mentioned it's from TDU 1 as all the shops are in the same place. which is your favourite car on TDU, mine has to be the Saleem just looks god damn sexy.
 
I enjoyed the original cruising around the Island, then I got the photo real scenery for FSX and flew over what I'd been driving around :)

This is awesome news! I loved the first TDU! I completed a whole bunch of the missions, even did the "drive every road" which takes ages.

the motorbike timetrail is a good one where you go round the borders of the map to get 1million dollars, it takes about an hour. you have to have patients otherwise you fall off every 2 secs ;)
 
Lets hope the next one is more stable and less buggy than the first. I bought it and had trouble installing, and still cannot play online :(
Their Atari forums were filled with people with problems like me, and not many solutions for getting the game to work properly.
But it is a great game, and the next looks better :)
 
Must confess I was running this on my 360. Arcade racing games require arcade controllers ;) I had no problems installing/running etc. I did have to wait 3 or 4 months to get it at PC prices :(
 
Nothing like TDU with a G25 on a PC. Crusing long in the sun.

The next island needs to be at least as big, ibiza sounds far too small. and please no off road, we have plenty of games that cover that already
 
Im hoping that have more car mods, like bodykits, handling, AI for the police needs to be changed and different vehicles, they seem to drive 60 style vehicles that can't keep up, need to be more challenging.
 
I just hope Eden have the time and resources to make TDU2 a decent game (like the original) and not like thier previous title Alone in the Dark which got panned by critics. TDU1 was rushed however in the end some content was cut and it was alittle buggy and rough in some areas but It was decent enough everywhere else.
 
TDU1 had a great premise, but was let down in some rough areas as the previous post states. But what I will say, is even now in 2010, no game has come close to capturing some of the wonders that TDU1 gave us, the freedom was awesome, just deciding at will to drive in any direction without any particular goal combined with real licenced cars is still to this day unbeaten. Take the round the island race, how intense and satisfying was that, I wished that something like Forza 3 or GT5 would have gone open world, but nope.

Anyway these are the key improvements they need to bring:

1.) The scenery/landscape needs to be more varied. So that when you go on those long trips of driving freedom that you get a sense of going place more.
2.) Please sort out the road layout so we have more curves lol ! the original game was a bit 'digital' in that respect. (roads didnt seem to curve smoothly, and seemed much more geometrical than they should have been)
3.) More up and downness (for want of a better term), e.g. more hills.
4.) Work out a better MP solution than seperate server instancing in the first game, I realise you cannot have everyone in the open world at once (at least not whilst the game is heavily populated in the beginning), but at least code in better support for meeting friends in game.

If you took the quality of reproduction in licenced cars that Forza/GT bring and combine it with an open world, then I believe you would have the ultimate driving video game.

A few people have said to me that Burnout Paradise went one better than TDU1, but I dont feel they are quite the same type of gaming experience. Whilst I loved Burnout Paradise, it did not give the same experience and freedom that TDU provided.

I really feel that Eden captured something magnificent with TDU1 and let it slip with some engine and MP issues, but if they sort all this out with TDU2 then prepare to be amazed.

Please, Please, Please No off-road racing though !
 
Looking forward to this. TDU was a brilliant game, although it did have its problems such as shoddy network code. My Uni flatmate and I both had this and tried to find each other online whilst in the same flat; we found it impossible.
