New Test Drive Unlimited Screens

I wouldn't get your hopes up too much, if I were you - it's still a Test Drive game so in all probability it won't be very good.

Thats what I'm fearing. Everything about it looks like it should be a really good game, but that name still makes me apprehensive of it being a dog.

Plus the release date seems to keep slipping, which I find a bit odd considering all the media related to it that is continually coming out.

Nooo I'm thinking happy thoughts, it will be a GREAT Test Drive game, honest! It will!

Looking good but from the IGN preview it seems the handling needs working on.

Thats the thing I've been fearing all along, a really exceptional game with a new(ish) take on the genre, let down by sucky handling.

Although it could just be a noob in the vids playing the game, it dosnt look that great, just really hope they sort it.
 
From the videos it seems like a Need For Speed clone, with the police radio chatter, and with worse voice acting than in NFS: Most Wanted (which had great voice acting).

I don't see anything yet to get excited about

That was my initial thoughts aswell.

As far as the handling goes now the release date has been put back to September they don't really have any excuse not to get it right.

Yep i watched those vids yesterday, they are better than the IGN ones for sure :)

The guy from IGN who was driving in those vids said
Most of the time we were crashing into traffic to make the videos more interesting, but even so we had trouble at points with controlling our cars. Some of it could, of course, be attributed to the fact that we only played the game for a little while and weren't familiar with the physics models. Despite our inexperience, the controls still felt imprecise, falling somewhere between forgiving arcade controls and strict simulation. The bikes in particular felt rigid and were extremely difficult to turn without tumbling off. These issues are still all being worked on, however, so we'll wait to see how it turns out.
I'm still looking forward to it and i hope they can pull it off. With E3 not far away we can expect to see even more, possibly even a demo.
 
Ye i agree sounds iffy but from what i saw i could clearly see was user error in some of them videos.

Ye it probs buggy as they have early version of game not completely polished i look forward to what the final release brings like you say andrew probably more at e3. :)
