The Peak of Open World Racing Games

Many of the Open World Racing games nowadays feel the same , not much innovation and mostly just re-treading the same old formula, but that wasn't the case 12 years ago with Test Drive Unlimited 2, with many details to make the environment feel like a living, breathing world. Is this the true peak of the Open World Racing genre?

People don’t ever mention that while in free mode you could get in other people’s car and cruise around the map, I mean that’s so dope

[@DoVe_7]

That was also doable? Actually didn't know that while recording for this

[@WayneDavisDA_ILLESTalive14]

@@DoVe_7 yup try it out, I forget if you had to be friends or not but still a hidden gem being able to “invite player” to your car

[@DJSPYROOF]

Yep you can flash your lights while driving, then 2 options pop up: 1. Instant challange (you can bet money for a 1v1 race it randomly generates) 2. Invite them into your car (Co driving)

[@dimancor2925]

Sounds like the same feature as in Driver SF

[@aaronsmith7143]

​@DImancor No, he means in MP you could invite another player to ride with you or visa versa. As another said, you flash your lights and could 1v1 or ride together. Not the same as Driver.

[@jestem_olo]

You forgot about; - you could configure car at dealer with real options - you could walk in your or friends garage look on the cars - use indicators, horn, open/close windows and roof - have club and earn club points in club vs club races and unlock special cars - have your own mp3 radio - every car have milleage display - play poker tournaments with other players and win a lot of cash and special cars This game is goat and was msny years ahead of his time. I hope tdu sc bring back all this features

[@getyoted7105]

i have good faith TDU SC will do well, but TDU2 seriously brought so much to the table. and people talk about Forza being the goat of this. Lmao, played em all and TDU as a series still outdoes them all.

[@Konashu]

I am late but after playing for about 10 hours (first time), while I have some complaints, this game is still ahead of games like FH5

[@mrxbas]

I had played this game since launch and besides the weird physics and (many) server issues, it was probably the most fun racing game to play with friends in the early to mid 2010s.

[@MuscleCarLover]

Where this game really shines IMO is with simply cruising around, preferably half aimlessly. Both this and its predecessor were perfect for taking the scenic route of the scenic route and just enjoying the road and the car (or bike). A really laid back and chilled out duo of games

[@qbeq_xebeq]

Yes indeed since the map is irl and the sense of speed is very unlike most of other open world racing game it just feel real unlike that one game ur travel to the other side of the map just took like 30min not real if you know the game... But tdu is like yeah hours of travel if you on slow car

[@elektrosmokes1911]

"besides the weird physics"... Oh, you mean besides the most important thing in the game being TRASH?

[@mrxbas]

@@elektrosmokes1911 To be honest, the driving itself was not all that bad; the main problem was with jumps and bumps, where your car could randomly turn into a bouncy ball.

[@elektrosmokes1911]

@@mrxbas I was there. It WAS that bad. Especially coming from TDU1, which felt much, much better.

[@derosiflo6524]

My favorite thing in this game is still just cruising around Ibiza and Oahu/Hawaii, not doing races. Just the open world, discovering wrecks, photo locations (the requested ones for game-completion purposes), making photos yourself and just taking in the views. Not to forget to get all the furniture xD I really liked hanging around in the houses and rearranging cars in the garage to make themed garages (italian cars, classics etc). No other game comes even close to that Also other games still don't let you use the indicators or the windows reeeee

[@MuscleCarLover]

I forgot about those photo requests. I personally liked roleplaying that I was hauling the camera equipment in an SUV and use that to go to the different locations (outside of the car shots, of course)

[@Tm0n3y762]

I don’t understand how we have more technology now and no other car game even comes close to the realness of tdu to me it’s still the best/ most realistic racing game ever

TDU2 came out a week before my birthday, whilst I was in my first year at university. I was so excited to get it that I cycled for over an hour into the city centre to buy it. No regrets, it's one of my favourite racing games of all time. Almost entirely because of the stuff you can do outside of the actual racing.

[@obmf318]

I miss this game so much. I could play this for months as I never got that far when I was younger but had so much fun

[@battyflaps5410]

[@Joselo3280]

Those buildings that you said were probably planning to use are actual Ibiza famous clubs (at least in 2011). Theres the one of the video and theres another in downtown. I was amazed when I googled Ibiza clubs back in 2012 and the accuracy was astonishing. This game is epic !

[@benn8793]

Oh man. I loved the TDU series. The handling was, let's just say... it took some getting used to. But I found the games so imersive that the handling took a back seat for me at some point. The games simply offered so much that you practically never got bored. I can't say anything about the multiplayer, because I prefer single player. Soon we'll finally get a new game. Hopefully they won't screw it up...

[@RealNameNeverUsed]

The thumbnail just gave me PTSD of the handling. It’s very traumatizing

[@ileutur6863]

Crap. You are allowed to say it was absolute floaty crap.

[@sdihi]

you r sure man I love TDU1 more than TDU2 the car handling on high speed like Saleen was not like any racing game and the gear a lot of pplz that days don't know we start our cars with 3rd gears switch to 5 then 6 and on the corners we make a high speed drift not brake only with the gears from 6 to 5 or 4 I was on the top time records on some multiplayers

[@battyflaps5410]

im hoping that too

[@DL7Media]

This is the best game of my childhood. Cars, graphic, music, houses, shops, dealers, clubs, friends, mods, weather, explore and many many more. I was totally "inside" game life for many years and I still come back to this game sometimes. Everything in that game feels like real life experience. I'm sure that there won't be a game even close to TDU2. Nothing can beat that production.

[@chitteshsham965]

TDU2 was a vibe!! It looked so good that it sucked the life out of my gpu and was averageing about 15fps, but i loved every momment of it. It started my love for ibiza

Loved it, maybe not as much as 1, but it was still a great game. I wish they would remaster 1+2.

[@MuscleCarLover]

@@keysmccormick8630 Improving the handling and making the races replayable would go a long way for TDU2, TDU1 maybe could do with a couple things here or there, but mostly graphics I think

[@Danklovic]

its a great game tbh, loved driving around ibiza with variety of cars but the only issue is the physics, was painful at times.

[@battyflaps5410]

I loved the game but missed a couple things from the first.. I remember the hype when i saw the trailer with ghetto burning song playing.. I was living in some dark days in some dark place and that trailer was one of the brighter moments of the time..

[@canyon5696]

There is no other game on the face of the planet i want some kind of remaster/steam rerelease of more than this. I loved the single player experience. I never tried the online, but i remember my sister made me beat the entire game once over as a girl character so she could play the online with her friends like it was a barbie game, with the dress up, and driving convertibles back and forth to her friends houses lol

Lmao omg that's mental. I hope she paid you bc some of those races used to make my face hurt

That must be awesome memories.

[@first_ones_free6556]

My number one issue with racing games today is progression. I have never been a fan of getting a new car every race, and free wheel spins like Forza, where it constantly feels like I'm being celebrated. The game always wants to give you another free something, and having 50 cars in my garage feels more like a car changing simulator and the cars have no meaning to me. You buy a car, max it out. and whatever it is, its a rocket. A racing game could drastically improve its life cycle by making money actually mean something. If you had to spend a reasonable amount of time maintaining and modifying a vehicle, it would give the player the chance to care about them. I think TDU2 did much better to build an environment than competitors even today. Id also like to some sort of instanced street races. Maybe quick 1 minutes meet ups to organize and bet on the race. No menu! Just people able to exit in the vehicle in instanced areas and check out others cars. Building these worlds up a bit is what gives them the depth to bring the people who enjoy the genre in. Also i don't know a single person that would complain about gas stations and a simplistic fuel system added. Not one. Car dealerships, Clothing, real estate, Cars and Coffees, and events. They should build a world to explore with your friends over time, instead of the amphetamine style gameplay where your friends just happen to be there too.

[@AlcatrazCrylake]

Having fast cars and a nice home in TDU was something special. Just even make it through the whole solar crown was special. Strange driving physics and having no traction control during the driving license test was really hard. But meeting and doing quick races, showing of cars and homes and just cruise through the maps with friends was just awesome. Forza Horizon 5 feels like a quick hop in and get some cars, thats it... Houses are useless and the map way to small for such fast cars. TDU was hard but it felt so much better. Just simply more special.

[@hawken796]

The progression in the new need for speed games are pretty good

[@bluesrocker91]

I absolutely hate that in Forza... The game gets boring so fast when you're practically having cars thrown at you for doing basically nothing. I've never understood why they went with that approach. They don't seem to understand that gamers enjoy a "zero to hero" progression arc, especially in racing games. Forza is probably the only game that's managed to make me feel awkward with the cringe way it tries to suck up to you all the time. 🤣 I always really hated the day-night cycle in Forza too... Sometimes I just want to cruise around at night, with some music on and soak up the atmosphere. Something I used to love doing in TDU2... Taking a genuinely long drive down the west coast of Oahu.

[@marcelnowak402]

I've never played TDU but what you're saying sounds like straight facts. Can't wait to try this game once I'm done with ones i got

[@regularbloke2117]

I did not expect to hear Darkviper AU here, so that was a pleasant surprise

[@crimsonkate8241]

You could say "It was millions to one" lol

[@ViktorGartner]

For handling improvements I recommend changing the settings under Controller Configuration: Steering Sensitivity - 10 Speed Factor - 8 Steering Damping - 0 Dead Zone - 0 Throttle Linearity - 8 Brake Linearity - 10

[@Lunaboops]

Honestly this game is the nearest racing game we ever got to being perfect, with some tweaks to its physics, modernisations of its graphics (even just slightly) and more things to do (especially in single player) it'd be truly perfect. I wish we had an indie game like this but even better modding capabilities, because it'd be single handedly the best racing game ever made.

[@jortepap]

😂🤦🏻‍♂️the driving physics were so shit.. it ruined the whole game for me. And the driving is pretty important in a RACING game.

[@TigerDrop787]

I played tdu1 and 2 back when they first came out on 360 I ran those games into the ground I played them so damn much I've always loved this series I've always thought of tdu as a racing MMO I really hope the new one will still have what made these games amazing

Tdu 2 is life. The wilder brothers are squabbling again. also if i remember rightly the casino island is actually the newer updated version of what used to be the secret island back in the day from tdu1.. You had to drive through the e on a mountain to get teleported to it.

[@observantmonkey4055]

This series is just too much. It wasn't perfect but my lord. As just a game...there are few that can give you the feel like tdu. Truly transport you somewhere else

[@Blahsheep]

I remember spending hours trying to get the Audi R8. Never ended up getting it back in the day. Amazing game well ahead of its time. Yeah the handling isn't the best but everything else in the game makes up for it. One thing you didn't mention was turn signals and the ability to put your window up and down and if it's a convertible you can bring the top up or down. Also that the islands are 1 to 1 scale to the real thing.

[@turismofoegaming8806]

I swear test drive unlimited 2 Felt like the very beginning of what could eventually turn into an amazing open world racing RPG!!!! I really think that’s what the video game industry needs and hopefully the upcoming test Drive game will be the ultimate version of this?!

[@observantmonkey4055]

With Radiant, I hope that's what they do. Even adding homes letter under Radiant tells me they plan to build the world up. They have a 5 year plan for the game (hope that happens). They had a lot of things planned for the past two but we know how that went. This game spoiled me. Had to get my fix through gtao

[@marcel1463]

This game was the paradise for car lovers! I just loved it.

[@Zim5.0]

Despite the bad Handling This is one of my favorite racing games ever They really got everything else right

[@NitrousFox]

Something worth noting: there’s major differences between pre and post DLC versions. Top speeds were tweaked, gear ratios changed, the Veyron sound was changed for the worse imo, Zonda/SLR sound massively upgraded, the V12 Aston’s sound like V8’s, and most importantly the handling was changed. I prefer pre-update I find the cars are significantly smoother and don’t lose speed on bumps as much. My friend disagrees and prefers post update, claiming the cars take turns more responsively. Both have major upsides as the highest possible speed is only limited by the size of the map and smoothness/straightness of the roads. We’ve taken the Supersport deep into the 290’s

[@RavenValkyrie]

The feeling this game gave back in the day was something else, especially that Menu Music. Never got the chance to play it when i was younger.

[@Joselo3280]

I only played a pirat copy of the game (the only thing I could get in a third world country with a top internet speed of 30kb/s) so no online features, but my god I love playing this every August, is my anual trip to Ibiza and Hawaii. Only driving my Veyron targa while blasting 'Gold, guns, girls' by Metric makes me happy.

[@lakshveerchauhan289]

Yes, u can't forget games like Test Drive Unlimited 2 and Driver SF (underrated asf) if u have played them

[@trautsj]

TDU was so ahead of it's time Forza Horizon and GTA Online are literally STILL copying it to this fucking day. Absolute banger of a game.

[@GarageHaruo]

TDU2 was what NFS used to be with underground 1&2. And no other racing game really hit like that ever again.

[@BadFC0386]

Such a great in-depth game review bro 😁👍🏽 and the addition of Ridge Racer Music in the background made it even more enjoyable 🔥

[@AlcatrazCrylake]

Great Video! The new TDU coming up was my hope as well but they already said that the map will be way smaller so they can put more "action" into it. Having these massive maps in TDU2 was one of my favorite things. Driving endlessly on the island was sooo awesome! My first real try with racing games after TDU2 and the older NfS games was Forza Horizon 5. The modding of cars, physics and graphics are awesome but the map size was a big disappointment. WIth a fast car it feels like you can see the whole map in 15 minutes. As well every house isn't usable. You can buy them and then... Nothing. In game chat? Not in open drive, only 4 pre-selected lines... Getting cars is so uneventful and you feel fed up by the map so quickly. TDU2 was almost going in an GTA direction which I loved so much. Probably the reason why I play so much GTA Online.

[@MrAaronb400]

I found the 1st game was better with the hardcore assist that you had to buy haha. This made the game class. I did end up 100% both the games though and loved the fact it would take quite some time to drive round the map if cruising. Hawaii was 130 miles if you went round the edge of the map in a loop

[@minignoux4566]

If atari didint go out of business test drive would still be around, but its good that test drive is coming back but from different studio.
