its about freaking time... and, i bet this wont be selling for $39.99. like they did with TDU1.

brett_day · 03-05-2010, 09:27 PM

cannot wait for this game and that does look like Old Town Ibiza! Went there many times when i lived in Europe! Would be very cool if it was based on that island!

brett_day · 03-05-2010, 09:33 PM

it is indeed Ibiza which will be cool, but Ibiza is a small island! Half the size of Oahu!! Hmm the mind boggles, maybe they will spread the game out over Mallorca, Majorca and Ibiza?

Grim Reaper · 03-05-2010, 09:42 PM

i hope they have more DLC than TDU1 did.

Excellent. One of my favorite games on the PC and one of the few games I've played online. So, I'm really looking forward to checking out the next one on the PS3.

Also, hopefully connecting/racing with friends online will be a little easier on the PS3. With the PC, it was often problematic trying to get all of us in a race together (or even showing up in the clubhouse). Maybe some being in different countries made that a little more difficult but we sometimes even had trouble with US only groups trying to get a race together. Other than that issue though, I loved the game and spent many, many hours playing it.

Edit: Trailer looks great!

Test Drive Unlimited 2 at Eurogamer

Quote:

Namco Bandai and Eden Studios have revealed that Test Drive Unlimited 2 takes place in Ibiza, but that at some stage you unlock the airport and get to fly to the Hawaiian island of Oahu from the first game.

The open-world racing game's due out for PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 this autumn.

Eurogamer contributor Christian Donlan - who is in Barcelona at Namco Bandai's ongoing press event seeing the publisher's 2010 line-up - reported that Oahu "has been filled with new roads and new challenges and missions - i.e. game is huge!"

Ibiza is huge as well, with off-road networks to complement the miles and miles asphalt, and you can now make progress in the game's career mode through a mixture of competitive racing, exploration, social activities and collecting stuff.

It all adds to your global levelling up, but Test Drive Unlimited 2 is still largely about completing challenges, earning money, and buying fancy motors in a huge open environment.

On the social side, you can now get out of your car, at which point you discover you have a customisable PlayStation Home-style avatar, so you can wander around your house, buy and tweak furniture and chill out here on the deck etc.

Online and offline blend together seamlessly, but online you can form your own racing clubs with friends, customise a clubhouse and take on other clubs to buy more impressive stuff for, er, your clubhouse and cars.

As you've probably observed in the trailer below, released yesterday, it's a much prettier game too. There's also procedural damage modelling, but it doesn't affect car physics, only visuals. The handling has also been refined so every car has its own personality.

My brother was one of the top 10 players in the beta of TDU1 so they created a computer driver after him in the actual game.

This looks pretty cool, I signed up for the beta as well.
