Has anyone got any info on the PC version of TDU?

All the pre-order dates that ive seen say it will be released 02/2007 , but the uk atari site says october 2006.

I really want this game after reading the thread about the xbox360 version and seeing some ingame trailors. I think the PC version could be brilliant using a xbox 360 controller or a usb steering wheel.

I've heard the game will be using ingame advertisement's (although they wont be out of place) , this is probably to pay for the server's etc.

Will be interesting to see the graphics as its the first port (is it?) from a next-gen console.

Info is really scarce , so if anyone knows more then i do then please enlighten me

.

I think it will come out october since it already came otu on the 360, so shouldnt take too long to port

Some might argue that Tomb Raider Legend and Oblivion are XB360 ports.

You could do worse than looking at the rather large thread on this game in the console section if you are interested in it.

I know what the game is 'about', but i was looking for more PC specific stuff, like will parts of the game be moddable, will you be able to host your own servers and is a demo going to be released . That sort of stuff.

I like the idea of having the free roaming over all that space, but the description of multiplayer on the X360 made it seem like a wasted oppurtunity - iirc (which I probably don't) you're matched with ~6 people who you can see on the road and no-one else. I was hoping for something a bit more mm than that. Hoping the pc version might be diifferent really.

From a couple of hours of playing it your all there but only see those people closest to you, if you go to the full map it'll show you all players in a wider area and help you find your mates.

I agree though I was hoping for far more visible at a time
