I just watched some PS2 gameplay(or atleast it said it was Ps2 gameplay), and the graphics don't seem all that bad. But its got this bug where the cars are really skinny.

Anyone know what cars are being left out of the Ps2 version?
Ok.. I don't really 'care' about the 'missions'.. I just want to pick a car and drive it all around the available roads, randomly!

Hmm, I doubt that it will be any good for that really, you have to try to know of course, it has some potential that is not used however, which I find sad, think as if I would say my Volvo mod is now ready and complete, that is level of TDU, big problem with it, imo.

I mail some stuff to you from this
Quote from JTbo :There is mountain roads if that is what you mean? However they are rather rough, they used sheets of 20m long blocks to make them I guess so your car is jumping quite a lot at 100kph already making those less fun.

Oh bugger That's what I wanted out of this.
hmm...I got to the mission where you have to drive the Enzo throughout the city to get it repaired (great cause for a car that has done 0 meters judging by the odometer) I loved it - I floored it twice - once to overtake, and once to burn rubber off at the crossroads... felt nice...
now driving a TVR sagaris, I love the thing that you cant drive flat out all the time - you have to hold back - traffic, cops, jumps and such... - that's a new thing for me in a game....
Quote from LFSn00b :Why i can only get 25 fps?

Your computer is too weak, or you have found some of those weird fps bugs that game has, try unplugging your steering wheel and other usb controllers to see if that improves performance.
Is there a new demo or beta out?
I guess they are talking about the "4gb test demo" :/
sadly enough Im talking of a release version that takes up 7.5 Gb...
it is already sold in markets all over the city...
the pirated version (please dont start complaining about me supporting pirates, as i refuse to support large company which doesnt care about the buyers much) since I have never trusted atari I thought that it would only be fair to pay 3 euros for it...worth every cent...but not much more...
squidhead, the pirates care about the buyers?
Rights owners not "caring" about buyers trumps copyright?
Got the full version today, after having the beta, and as we all already knew tbh nothing has been changed. This is possibly one of the buggiest games I have ever played. About 70% of time I load the game, the graphics flash about and framerate drops to about 1fps. Ctrl Alt Del in order. Seems to happen when I skip the cinematics.

Secondly the sound in game doesnt work, with my Audigy 2 ZS. Just no sound whatsoever.

Finally the issue of horrible framerates on still OK systems. I havnt even tried a wheel yet as I dont have mine at uni, but if as people claim it gives another drop in framerates, I'd rather not.

All in all, terrible.
Uh oh, i unplugged my DFP and noticed small fps boost, but still HORRIBLE!
Thing is, i went to Ferrari dealership to test out their Enzo. At test drive, i didnt feel any "extreme" because of the fps

I started playing today , still got that lousy Audi TT, a black one..

Oh, and for you pb32000, in sound settings, there are some sounds muted, turn them on again (small boxes under the sliders, when bright orange, then activated).

Anyways, if the fps would be decent (30 fps is really fine for me) the game would rock! I am getting 13 fps with same system as Squidhead's.
Wait so this is avaliable already? I plan on getting (or renting) the game for ps2, but i would like to try out the demo beforehand, on the computer.
I bought unlimited for the 360.......WHAT A PILE OF POO!... Seriously its that bad im even going to sell my 360 as the best racing sims are PC based.

Live for speed.........Its the mutts nuts!

I know exactly what you mean, the low frame rates really kills any sense of speed (I too have almost exactly the same system as you guys). May be getting a new Core 2 Duo/DirectX 10 GPU system after easter though so that would be cool hehe.

With regards to the sound, they're all on. Tbh I think its to do with my drivers, as when I updated to the latest ones last time the sound worked, but that caused other issues with my system, and now I've reformatted and gone back to the old drivers, which tbh work fine in EVERY other game lol. So TDU can die for now lol.

I paid a similar price as squidhead, although I saved a further 3 euros, so no big loss.

lol, if you bought test drive unlimited and expected the game to be a simulator... you must be new to gaming.


isnt one of the guys who worked on TDU a s2 licensed racer? i remember seeing him on here a while ago.

Yeah, MagicFR from Ocrana works for Eden Games - does the car physics iirc.
nah i didnt buy it as i a simulator, i bought it as a racing game, there was me thinking it may be better than project goth racing......it wasnt....

As for me being new. Ive been playing since S1 so i can honestly say ive played quite a few racers in my time, I was just hoping that some of the racers on the 360 were going to be sim-ish, its alot more fun when friends are around playing on the 360 as we havnt got to crowd around my PC taking turns with the G25. Only 1 good game for the 360 FIFA! 4 player! great fun!
Quote from Breizh :squidhead, the pirates care about the buyers?

no, but they have reasonable prices for that kind of quality

yeah...?
Have fun playing a 360/PC exclusive on a PS2...

Oops, I hold my tongue, I swear I read that it was a 360 PC only game, but did some internetting which says otherwise.
I thought it was a ps2 port
My question still hasnt been asnwered. Is it out yet? Where can i get the PC demo?
yes your question has been answered lol. it is out in the UK, but the rest of the world has to wait a few weeks. and there is no demo. but there are ways to... i cant speak anymore

if there was a demo, it would be well over 3 gigs just for the installation file, unless the devs made a separate map for the demo
i have the game ^^ got it 2 days ago, i own an A3, 350z Nismo s-tune and a Gallardo Spider(:throwrose)
