Test Drive Unlimited 3 is officially being made :)

I genuinely don't understand all of the hate tbh. Ok it's not perfect, but it plays really well and it's getting updates correcting issues which is great.

It runs absolutely beautifully now on latest AMD drivers, I am sat at a solid 70fps on high 3440x1440. Starting to really get into driving about the city and getting the feel of the old TDU back.
 
I'll probably give it a try at some point, need to rebuild my racing setup really though first and that is a low priority currently.
 
300+ miscellaneous minor bugfixes
  • Resolved cases of hardlock after the first race of the onboarding
  • Fixed ELO not decreasing when abandoning ranked races
  • Fixed suspension issues on various cars
  • Prevented several cases where player could drive through NPCs in free roam
  • Fixed cases where AI would drive in the opposite way after finishing a race.
  • Improved pathfinding of GPS
  • Removed incorrect indication of a race at lvl 3 that should not exist.
  • Updated the price of special edition cars

so people did buy a beta then... some of those bugs are embarrassing, I wonder how many more exist

Elo not dcreasing when someone abandons a ranked race..... wow....... how did that ever get through beta testing.


Surely its like the first thing you would implement

What an absolute shame that this game turned out to be so bad. Considering TDU1+2 were so good... What a way to ruin a franchise. I suppose it's the same old story, publishers rushing a dev team to put an unfinished game out in an attempt to meet financial targets

people still think its 2008 when a game IPO is guaranteed sales no matter what.

all the predatory practices seem to have made gamers finally wise up and stop buying any old crap based on a studio name or a games title.

I wonder what will happen going forward, I imagine they'll slowly pull devs away from the project one by one until it's abandoned. Seems like they have way to much work to do to get it up to an acceptable standard (Online sessions don't even work properly from what I've read). Oh well, it's just different times these days...
 
How was the game folks? Just moved house and so far waited 7 weeks for Openreach to get their act together and sort my new fibre connection out, fingers crossed for tomorrow and I'll be up and running.
 
Base game already under 20 squids at cdkeys, diving quicker than Forza Motorsport last autumn.
 
This and forza motorsport really make me angry...
Because you know the attitude will be "Gamers don't want driving games anymore" and then I bet when the next GT game releases it's as massive as ever and people are buying consoles just to play it.


People don't want below average games any more, it's a thing across all genres

Total waste of what was an amazing series.

Crap physics, car feels like its floating on air rather than in contact with the surface its supposed to be on.

What a waste of time and money :(
 
TDUSC is on sale on Steam with 30% off. The base package is £27.99. The reviews are mostly negative. I'm guessing this isn't worth the £28? Have patches been released that improve it from its release quality?

Nice one, thanks. Is it worth it for £18 then? Kind of getting the feeling that the reviews are showing its not worth more than £15!

Even if it was free I wouldn't play it.

It's Test Drive in name only.

Don't waste your money.
