Although I'm quite sure that the ATI cards can do AA and HDR same time aswell

Yes they can i meant the 8800 series is the only Nvidia card that can do it.

Are you all perfect drivers or can you not damage the cars on this game?

Zogger · 14 Dec 2006 at 12:49

no damage to your own car. Would be interesting if there was, but it would make the game rather expensive - having to do repairs etc.

In the car delivery mode however, you get less money if you 'damage' your car by hitting other cars or driving off road.

No damage. For various reasons.

Surprised to see you PC guys like this, didn't think that would be the case.

Still ranks as my favourite game on the 360

Just signed up for this at dinnertime, only an hour before its downloaded :-)

but 4 hours till I can go home and play it :-(

I hope its as good as it looks.

Wow the pc is finally getting this excellent game.

I won't be bothering as I had it on the 360 but it really is worth a look.

Sort of GTA (with no shooting) meets Any decent racing game.

I am quite suprised to hear the graphics havn't been improved. They really must have done a good job on the 360 version to get it to run as it does. (It was smooth around 95% of the time on the 360 version)

Wow...completely forgot about this game and gave a heads up a couple of months ago for it!

Got a 2GB limit on my ISP, so is it worth paying the extra (or seeing if i can sneak it through) or wait until Jan for the demo?

Jabbs · 14 Dec 2006 at 16:44

Ive played the 360 version which looks pretty good but it looks far better on the pc mainly as you can have high af and high aa, helps i guess being on a 8800 series with its excellent image quality.

I doubt its a game i will play for weeks on end am already starting to get a bit bored of the same thing over and over, but in terms of a racing game its pretty good, i guess you would say a typical console style racing game.

You have to bind the axes yourself. When binding hold the stick for a couple of seconds till the text changes. (don't have an x360 controller but this is how it is for mine)`

Oh mate you are a star it worked. Absolutely love this game now. IS it online then or not can't seem to find any real people.

MoNkEyMiKeY · 14 Dec 2006 at 18:57

Anyone know when the servers will be up. I wanna race people.

LeeMc · 15 Dec 2006 at 02:30

Jeez nice d/l servers fileplanet have , just d/ld it at a constant 1.7mb/s

silversurfer · 15 Dec 2006 at 02:37

how long did it take to download then, sky broadband is that?

alexisonfire · 15 Dec 2006 at 12:36

37minutes?

eekfek · 15 Dec 2006 at 15:14

With HDR

Without HDR

i certainly prefer having full 4* AA

silversurfer · 15 Dec 2006 at 15:22

The bottom one looks better, 350z never look that good irl

shimy182 · 15 Dec 2006 at 15:28

i want skyline

Zogger · 15 Dec 2006 at 15:49

yeh I wasn't a huge fan of the hdr.. it gets too dark in places and makes a big difference to framerate...

Another thing that's good about TDU - it's multi-threaded for dual core compatibility

After seeing that think ill be dumping hdr as said i think it looks far better in the bottom pic.

Edit:
Doesn't look as good in game without hdr
