Yep. I loved the first TDU. Was sooo good, and i never even touched the multiplayer for that game. But this one is a pass for me.
I have GT7 for the ps5, and i only own it because a coworker gave it to me, otherwise i would have never bought that game either.

Always happy to see the series still ticking along, got my name in the credits of one of the older entries as QA, my first out of college job.
But it's a very different series these days compared to it's origins, closer to Forza Horizon than Need for Speed.
I still reckon unlimited 2 has my favorite character select ever made.
That fucking zoom into the defualt white guy who can't dance in slow motion followed by the still moving but slow downed music and dancing is PERFECTION. Shame about the annoying as fuck voice acting, but that's not the fault of the genius that created that character select.
Depending on reviews might pick this up, but I got burned out by both Foza's and GT's recent live service push, it's exhausting keeping up with all the events etc.

Racing game NPC's continue to look bad.
Anyway, I hope it's good.

Hell yes, Test Drive Unlimited IS my favorite racing game of all time, truly visionary at the time, ex tdu devs went and made the crew, which basically is a worse version of Test Drive Unlimited.
Cant wait to dive back into it. IF its good, thats a big if with nacon.

Ivory Towers hired a lot of tdu devs from Eden Games.
What makes me hopefull for TDU Solar Crown is that it has creative director is Alain Jarniou, he was working on the first tdu and directed the second.
Also read that higher up in Nacon where also involved in the first TDU and are banking on it being a success and giving it ample dev time. Thus why you have so many delays without it being canceled

I mean, I do hope that they come up with a good alternative to Forza Horizon and The Crew (which are kind of the main competitors here).

This trailer was literally written and voiced by Chinese A.I. that's all about praising China and Hong Kong Island. LMAO.

They had that preview event a while back and it didn't look too impressive. Hopefully they've listened to the feedback and improved on the the issues that came up.

It is always online? I am excited for this release, but that is a deal breaker if true.

Hell yeah! Hopefully the always online requirement is only a rumor.
Soon? Unfortunately you will have to purchase a digital copy to access it according to PSN.

I'm pretty sure it isn't, but I saw some broken English translation where someone on the dev team said they were thinking of ways to turn it off down the road. The implication was that it'll be always online until the game is EOL and then they'll figure out some way to make it offline.

I will test it in the demo. I know that it requires linking a third party account, but that does not really faze me as long as there is not a separate launcher.

Is this game 30fps on console?? If yes how the hell. Need For Speed is 60 and open world too.

Demo is lame af. It's fugly, chace camera is lame and overall feel is not there, to be honest.
DualSense support is neat even on PC and that's the only positive I can think of after 1 hour with the current build.

I saw one parked at a nice restaurant and I could not help but ask why? From that brand and in that price range, why would anyone in their right mind choose that?I don't mind the ugliest Porsche, but the G-Wagon,

I get the feeling this is bait for old TD Unlimited and will suck the same way EA used the Most Wanted for NF 2012.

The cover cars are hilarious actually. The sports wagon styling Porsche already abandoned with the ICE Panamera model and previous generation G-class despite the current gen being on the market for quite some time.I don't mind the ugliest Porsche, but the G-Wagon,
PS. Is it true you need Nacon account to play the demo??

What's up with the mirrors? The fuck?

Yes. I did not need to verify to link to steam though.

The mirrors were working in the dev gameplay, maybe you need a better GPU to have them work properly.
