The car list is really impressive got to give them that!

let's hope the way the cars handle is good and not shiznit...

With every game I see I get the feeling EA has the rights for Porsche cars in 05 and 06.

games that had Porsches before like PGR2 had in the latest versions only RUF's wich is basicly a Porsche but without the liscenses

now TDU also as only 1 Ruf and no porsches at all...
If Forza 2 has no longer have Porsches than I am sure of it... cause for 05 the only racing game that came out (for what I know... correct me if I am wrong.. and thus correct my theory) is NFS MW.

Are you seriously that immature?

Anyway, I hope that it's going to be a great game, because hey... let's all hope it isn't like one of the questionnaires that EA gave us about have the 150 (I think) cars with similar handling...

Sort of upset not to see Holden in the mix there, but I can live with it : )

I'm young, so yes

Funny that your undeveloped little brain judges things too quickly, like saying that TDU is going to be great.

You don't know, you can't know, dumbbumbum fanboy. Stop being so arrogant.

Yeah that does look awesome, pity most of us with low-mid performance PC's won't get that kind of graphics

Notice the speed gauges too.....

Edit: btw, have any one seen the buying process in the game ?, you park your car outside the car lot, step inside, and choose from a wide variety of lamborghinis (for example), change some options before buying the car, you can even change the colour of the interior

, and finally buy the car, the car dealer gives you its keys....go out, start your engine, and enjoy your new ride.

Post by **TheStig** » 04 Jul 2006, 06:51

the shots by Skylineman are really nice alhough small.

I seen the pic of the F430 before and am not overly impressed by the interior, the center console looks really fake and low poly... sad cause the rest looks pretty stunning

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 04 Jul 2006, 06:53

I'm surprised they're using actual 3D models for the interior, I would have thought they would just use textures since you're only going to be seeing the interior from one angle anyway.

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 04 Jul 2006, 14:24

What kind of philosophy have you taken for vehicle handling? Have you gone for a more arcade or simulation experience?

Ahmed Boukhelifa: It's not so realistic that it isn't fun and it's not so arcade-based that all you have to do is tap the break to slide round corners - we want people to drive the cars properly, but we also want them to have as much fun as possible, so we've found a real balance between the two that works really well. We received a huge amount of feedback from the demo that we released during E3 and we've tweaked things in accordance to what people were saying - the feedback from people who have played it since has been incredibly positive. In addition, players can tweak their own cars to suit their style which will help.

Hope these people are not kids.

Well, he's got a good answer. I also like how he said players can tweak their cars, so if I want a more simulation feel, I can try it out.

btw, the dashboard views are incredible, I really want the game now...I'll be like one of those little, impatient kids: "When's the PC demo gonna come out?!?!?"

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 04 Jul 2006, 17:09

yeah, i want a PC demo too.

Edit: Look what i've found, it seems like there will be a car lot for each manufacturer, so as you can see here, this is a Lamborghini's only.

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 04 Jul 2006, 22:15

Well, obviously. If you're gonna go to a Ferrari dealership, you won't find Lamborghinis.

I really like how you can observe your car befor buying it. You can open anything, get inside, roll the window. The game has a lot of neat, little features.

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 05 Jul 2006, 01:45

Yeah, i mean i am happy that it is not like NFS where you buy all the cars from the same place.

I assume you've seen the videos on the official TDU site? Shows a Lamborghini car lot and the various options you can choose.

Nope, That's the X360 Version.

For those of you who don't know, when selecting the exterior and interior colors of a car in a Dealer Gallery, they are the same realistic colors that a Real-life Dealer shows you. Ok, so For example:

The real-life Lamborghini Dealer provides the Exterior color Arancio Atlasâ„¢ at their Catalog.

The ingame dealer provides that very same color labeled Arancio Atlasâ„¢ on the ID, and there are no fake colors (Pink on SLR McLaren) all colors are real.

Ok, So I've played the demo, and have got a sweet video for you guys. Watch this:

Gallardo Leisure Drive & Lambo Dealer in HD

Enjoy!

the only thing left to make this game real is gas prices and insurance costs... it's so damn real!

xHaZxMaTx · Post by **xHaZxMaTx** » 05 Jul 2006, 08:51

I've decided I'm getting this.

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 05 Jul 2006, 09:06

wow... i just watched that gameplay trailer, and wow.... my jaw is somewhere near the floor.... i'm absolutely loving the radio, and everything else. is there <i>anything</i> that i won't like about TDU

Well thanks to your vid Saeidi, I guess I've joined the TDU bandwagon aswell.

Skyline_man · Post by **Skyline_man** » 05 Jul 2006, 12:46

Thanks for the video Saeidi, downloading now.

@ PSZeTa: No, its an interview video i downloaded from gamespot.

Edit: Just saw the video

, all i can say is; i want the game now...at least a demo to play.

2furio · Post by **2furio** » 05 Jul 2006, 17:38

Saeidi, thanks a lot for the awesome video. Really nice driving too.

There are some amazing things about the little details in the game. Cockpit view is awesome, very detailed and I like how you can look around, to the sides, and I never knew you can adjust your seat. The dealership was really cool too. I like how there are only factory options.

Did you ever try to do reckless driving and get the police after you?
