Saeidi, man, I lost all respect for you...honestly...so let me guess, you probably don't even have that steering wheel, hell you probably don't even have an Xbox 360...

Well, thanks Oddball_E8, at least I can trust some people to tell the truth...

Post by **YaelDjiel** » 06 Jul 2006, 18:36

busted XD

anyway, i dont care who recorded the stuff... i do know that i want this game BAAAD!!
seems really awesome!

Post by **TheStig** » 06 Jul 2006, 21:27

And how do you know you can trust Oddball_E8???

Please tell me? do you know him personally..
And seriously who cares. If someone doesn't want the movies to be all over the net. copyright it or something.
ooh and for the quality the movies give.. the movies are way to huge!

I think some people here should go back to the middle ages cause the way people act here is even for ancient times pretty rude!
First get the fact and a answer for Saeidi before you blame, convict and execute him!

its just that he goes around claiming that HE made the vids...
credit where credits due man...

and why should you trust me? well... you shouldnt...
but if you look at the thread i linked to, youll notice that ALL the vids that he released as his own and "new" had already been released there about a week earlier...

but who's to say Saedi isn't Diablo_?

Oddball_E8 · Post by **Oddball_E8** » 06 Jul 2006, 22:34

eeeh... well... diablo_

have you read the thread i linked to???

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 06 Jul 2006, 22:35

yes i have, but it's quite possible that Diablo_ and Saedi are the same person and they're just pretending to be different people.

we'll know for sure when and if Saedi comes back and reposts.

Oddball_E8 · Post by **Oddball_E8** » 06 Jul 2006, 22:37

ummm... well yeah... and its possible that im george bush... but its not all that probable...

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 06 Jul 2006, 22:37

i agree, but probable doesnt mean not possible.

Oddball_E8 · Post by **Oddball_E8** » 06 Jul 2006, 22:38

isnt this just semantics?

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 06 Jul 2006, 22:43

yeah, let's just get back on topic....

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 06 Jul 2006, 23:51

does anyone know if this is going to be like MMORPGs? or will it have an offline mode too?

Oddball_E8 · Post by **Oddball_E8** » 07 Jul 2006, 00:36

oh it has a very extensive offline mode... in fact you can do more stuff offline than online i think..
but the main point is that you can go online and just cruise around challenging people... no need to setup matches and stuff like most racing games are when played online...
and you can see the 16 closest players at the same time... and there will be filters so you can set that only a certain car will be shown and so forth...

at least thats what they say... i have some doubts about it tho...
but ill buy it for its offline contents...

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 07 Jul 2006, 01:16

well, i still have to decide if i want to buy it. if it's gonna be a MMO game, with a subscription based service, no thank you. if there's going to be an extensive offline mode with all the customizations and everything, i might buy it.

Oddball_E8 · Post by **Oddball_E8** » 07 Jul 2006, 01:19

no subscription... thats been established already... free online play

and i think you can do MOST of the things you can do offline...
but you cant have police chases (there cant be thousands of roadblocks everywhere all the time) and there probarbly wont be the "side elements" of the game like picking up hitchhikers or getting chased by psychos...
in other words, you can race for pinkslips and money online, but you cant customise it online (but you can probarbly bring a customised car online... if you know what i mean...) you wont buy your cars online... youll go online with the cars youve earned offline... unless you buy one of the many cars theyre gonna release after the game is in the stores...

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 07 Jul 2006, 01:22

so pretty much like most wanted, except with the additional cars part, right? they should make them downloadable to use in offline mode.

Oddball_E8 · Post by **Oddball_E8** » 07 Jul 2006, 09:36

what do you mean? everything that will be downloadable will be usable in offlinemode...
but there is no new carparts... you cannot rice your rides...
oh and its definately not just like NFS... theres gonna be ALOT more cars... and bikes... and theyre gonna be mostly supercars and exotics... like kÃ¶nigsegg and ferrari...

oh and lets not forget that the entire island of Oaho is modeled... thats over 1300 miles of road there...

prince1142003 · Post by **prince1142003** » 07 Jul 2006, 18:15

i meant the online mode when i said it's gonna be similar to MW. well, other than you drive around and challenge opponents part. you still only go online to "show off".

and yea, i realize the game is gonna be ALOT different from Most Wanted. you just didn't get what i meant in my last post.

Post by **TheStig** » 07 Jul 2006, 18:29

TDU has a full free roam online mode. wich the NFS games to date do not have. so it does also differ online from NFS.

I downloaded some small movies wich I noticed when I got a Xbox Live newsletter and it said something abou TDU and had some nice pics and 2 movies. although the movies where small in resolution, they where a minute long and pretty good.
1 with a race between a Pagani Zonda and a DB9 and later on a MurciÃ©lago and a Mercedes CLK with a DTM spoiler on it. (factory tuning??)

The Zonda sounded AWSOME!!! just like it was real. the other cars where not so loud.

Other movie is abit of how the game works and has some shots of the houses and inside (wardrobe ect) and has a race between a Mustang Shelby GT500, F430 and a Ducatti Monster.

I will see if I can find them again.

WOW @ that

it looks pretty real if you ask me

Post by **TheStig** » 09 Jul 2006, 18:21

The more I look at the pics and the car list the more I want the game...

I love the drive alot of the cars. but I do feel I will miss the Porsches. I know the list is already awsome and I do think it is a license problem... Got the feeling EA has the rights to Porsche cars for now. cause why would they add almost all supercars and exotic sports cars.. I mean they even added 3 Spykers and cars like the Zonda and Koenigsegg. So it must be a license thing. Would have loved to see a Carerra GT and a 911 Turbo S and a Cayman S etc. but he..
What I do find nice is that they only have high(er) performane sports cars to start with.
Although I think cars like a Supra TT and a Honda NSX-R, S2000 would be nice to take on the Mazda RX8 and the Nissan R34 and 350Z that are in the game.
a Nissan/Datzun 240ZX and a Toyota 2000 GT would be a nice add for the classics. I mean if James bond can drive a toyota..

For this game has everything I always wanted... I always wanted to do so much with the car in the game.. and tada TDU will give it all to us.
I mean to open and close the windows, choose a house, a wardrobe... and ofcourse build your own person. that is a racegame that did mix in stuff from the sims all.
I always wanted to create my own caracter in a race game. I wished NFS got it but he TDU does it

I would almost say that they guys at TD looked around at NFS fan sites and watched what we wanted and thought, he we can do that.. and get alof of nfs fans to our side..
And you know what??? I know it will steal the harts of many classic NFS fans all over the world...

It already stole mine!

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!

Question is: Is it something close to a simulator? Or is it like NFS?
