I Spent $100 On Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown (Do I Regret It?)

[@Walkere2938]

This game will be worth it when they add the houses, fix the steering wheel, shadows, reflections, graphics in general, I'm talking about at least 2 years

[@Lottergeist-Beetlejuice]

The developers had 13 years, didn't even manage to deliver a decent beta and you already know what they want to bring as an expansion? Then no servers that can handle the onslaught! Even with a 4090 the game runs terribly poorly, it's a shame to deliver something like that. In 4K you have 40fps with a 4090, which is unacceptable!

[@RCmies]

I don't understand why people complain about the graphics. Maybe it's because I played ultra settings on PC, but I didn't have issues with them. I thought the game looked good. But everything else, yes they need to fix some things.

My 10 hour experience with TDU SC in PC, I just got to level 20. This is where the ranked races, Aberdeen and Grand Tourer (G) class races appear. The SLS AMG is a beauty. My current verdict is that while the Steering wheel FFB is pretty basic, what they got right is the map. It's a lot more engaging to race in Hong Kong than any open world simcades. Not only that, doing races earns you money and rep even on repeat, which means if you manage to invite a friend in to play and you'd race together, you also earn the benefits to your own account while they make progression. It's going to be a grind from this point on, but I'm happy to say it's quite a fascinating world to drive and explore, and I'll come back for more, hopefully worthy as a daily driving game.

gotta be honest here... from all that I could gather so far, CarX Street blows TDU out of the park, which is a real shame if you consider the former is an arcade game.

It runs on ultra on my RX 6600 @1080p, looks gorgeous too and the map is just plain better in comparison and you can see they really put alot of effort in it. It is not pvp focused, it´s playable offline, you don´t have progress through another of these stupid season passes etc etc etc... Solar Crown, I hate to say that, is NOT "the comeback of TDU" I had wished for. Edit: Forgot to mention full price AAA vs sub 20€ :p

And the servers went down 😂

[@babaluk2010]

Most console players get a login error. Myself included on xbox. I managed 30 mins of gameplay over the last 10 hours. 9.5 hours of login error screen. Insane.

[@Kireth]

Did you take the day off work for it?

[@babaluk2010]

@@Kireth kinda. I'm self employed tho. Plan was to game all day.

[@Kireth]

Nice! Super cool you are self employed 🙌🙌🙌

[@riropower]

Lmfao

[@chrisconnollyofficial]

Same here for series X. Spent from 9am this morning to 6pm trying to connect. Eventually got online and was really disappointed from the graphics and frame rates. I think I'm going to refund it

[@bandrange3526]

*Listen up Changes are coming these developers don't miss enjoy the game and watch what's coming*

[@JDumbz]

I actually regretted, I refunded now.

[@chocks9350]

Always with big releases, not finished on release, sadly :) Will wait for Assetto Corsa Evo on PC for sure... Never get games for PS4/PS5 anylonger anyway..... Enjoy. Thanks for the heads up...

[@Rkatalyn]

thank you for being honest in your review so that people know what rubbish game they will buy... after only 10 minutes I asked Microsoft for a refund... unfortunately playstation does not offer refunds if you download the game

[@cheethers85]

Saved me money! 🙏

[@Nightboyvq]

Kireth you’re probably the only one that does a unbiased, fair review. The game sucks and you call it like it is. TDU shills need to chill sending you messages cause they’re sensitive about criticism

[@SeamusOR]

No game on ps5 should have the option of fps lower than 60. If The graphics could be photorealistic at 40, I don’t care it’s too juddery for me. In this day and age graphics that poor in a game which had 13 years to develop is absolutely unacceptable.

[@andrewacosta8015]

Car x street is way better in my opinion, and its only 15$ . this game is the modern bullcrap we all have to deal with unfinished games. i will NOT be waiting 1 year for the game to get fixed . on to the next one !

[@HoLDoN4Sec]

your argument is lacking, carx street is also an unfinished broken game... the difference is carx street is 15$ and this game was 100$ lol

[@pktrsho6055]

I never once had any doubt that this game would be exactly like like it is.

[@cj41079]

I made a mistake with Crew motorfest.....never doing that again....

[@sneakworld]

Crew motorfest is a million times better than this disgrace and that is by far the worst crew out there

[@RCmies]

​@@sneakworldWhat is your criteria for comparison? Because I played the demo and I had 1000 times more fun than I ever had playing the crew motor fest, mainly because the driving physics and driving around the map were much more fun.

[@johnnypezona9513]

​@@RCmies yeah that's correct but The Cew Motorfest has better graphics and stuff and it works properly..at least for me on PS5 Slim (really good 4K quality, no issues). ✌️❤️

[@FranquitoMV2004]

​​@@RCmiesthat TCM at least lets you play on day 1💀 ( i play on a PS4 and didnt crash for months now )

[@ralphharrison6622]

heres my tip: stop buying games at launch. wait till they are like 20 bucks. by then, some of the problems might be fixed by then

[@xmusic2049]

I only paid $27 for the game, otherwise I usually wait for a price drop before buying a game.

[@milo04]

This saved me some doller 👍 gonna give you a sub mate.

[@Kireth]

Cushioning the blow, thanks!

[@Pika0294]

Well you should regret putting in money into that crap.

[@jasonholley3677]

They said it was a work in progress so if you waisted £30 coz u couldn’t wait 6 days mate will be ironed out by the 12th

[@coldfries8976]

I'm so pissed. The racing community is getting played with and we gotta stop letting em get away with it. They know how many people play on console... this is so unacceptable. I'll be surprised if this game makes it a month. They should cancel all pre-orders and remake the game for 3 years maybe then it's okay. If you can't develop a gamr like this... please DON'T do it then... it's so obvious that the studio is either understaffed with enormous crunch and overworked or untalented.

[@JamilBryant]

😂😂😂😂 bro is trippen

[@ZA-7]

I agree

[@Rockport1911]

Also the world just is sort of dead, made nice for screenshots but not a hint of the real life HK bustle: No pedestrians, very basic traffic, no tram/ boats/ planes moving about, they could have added alot of details. And to me this is still no TDU game: needless futurism, no houses, no garages, cars dont get celebrated that much. Also stuff like the cutscenes, characteres and alot more has a general sense of cheapness to it, yes AA game but little adjustments would have worked wonders.

[@stevendennis2355]

I kinda wanted this game to be similar to an assetto corsa shutoko server

[@AXF291]

Cyberpunk vibes

[@stevew579]

it looks awful not for me I will stick to ACC AMS2 and Iracing.

[@jdmfan2170]

it feels like a ubisoft game graphically

[@AustraliaWorldwide]

they drop the ball big time on this ill wait for horizon 6 next year hope we get japan

[@isaacsrandomvideos667]

11:43 my internet went out around here on this race and ever since it wont let me get past this race and it’s just bricked on that island

[@TonyGotti-wn7sw]

What a disappointment this is nothing like the trailer maybe once you get going it will be ok but please if you did pre - order you need to cancel immediately it's way over valued this game is like a ps- 3 racing game even the cars hesitate to go way to much we all got this nightmare what a shame I paid 100. 00 for this trash it's plain fraud thank you Tony

[@nathanjackson8233]

I will wait until the game drops in price not worth the price it’s nothing like back in the day

[@dhyatt52]

13 hours now and still can not log in. Extremely disappointed with this release.
