Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Exclusive Gameplay & Preview (Garage, Crossplay & Progression)

[@ZinkUnofficial]

2:33 DEFINITELY NOT TRUE. We NEED houses. It’s part of the lifestyle gameplay that TDU once was. Being able to change your flooring and walls and swapping out different furniture as well as adding poster photos to your walls. Just wouldn’t be the same without the penthouse suites and the mega mansions with the waterfalls running through the living room.

[@LikingTrash3991]

Couldn't agree more! 100%

[@markchristantaguiam819]

Or else, it's just another copy of Forza Horizon innit?

[@Issam-od4pg]

Yes. This game needs anything that can differentiate it from the forza horizon series so that people new to the test drive series would actually consider getting it, because unless you're a long time fan of this series or don't want to cough up 70$ this is just another forza horizon

[@raphaelmorais3483]

Needs way more traffic and shadows under the car. Not seeing shadows under the wheels makes it look like the cars are floating.

[@matigaete5236]

This video isn't new, it was recorder before the trailer came out.... and it looks so good but the more recent gameplay is from yianni, google it

[@chewthegum]

If they just position the camera a little lower so that you can see the wheels I think that would fix the problem.

[@DeejayJeanP]

@@chewthegum Has nothing to do with it so it wouldn't. Look at the release date trailer.

[@chewthegum]

@@DeejayJeanP Release date trailer looks fine to me except for a few specific scenes where reflections make things look a little wonky. There are definitely shadows.

[@joelh3030]

Not only is it the shadows, But the cars dont react to imperfections on the road. Theres like no natural frequency on the suspenion, It just glides smoothly with no effect in the camera pov or in movement of the vehicle. The crew motorfest did a better job with this, they made the cars feel more aggressive and the camera made it feel like you were flying on a road on the edge of grip.

[@nolahahnshouse3389]

I wish they had people walking around the environment so that the game really felt lived in.

[@aquatraderr]

Honestly don't understand why car games don't do this. Such a critical part that adds so much more immersion to the game. I love the city choice being HK but it just misses the extra vibrance with no npcs walking around.

[@Kentworlds]

I agree

[@aashsharma]

You’re right, the game has so much potential if there were things going on and people waking around. It sucks that we don’t have that in almost any racing game 🫠

[@andersonsousa4347]

[@haroldmerewether1224]

One thing that grinds my gears and that's that the cars float on top of the road. The tyres aren't in full contact with the road so they look like boats.

[@Kuma_Cordova]

Thought I was the only one who noticed that until I read your comment. That's my only pet peeve so far. I need to see more game play before I make a decision, the cars look absolutely stunning though.

It reminds me a lot of NFS heat

[@asteronomical]

A lot of racing games still have that issue idk why

[@tantona9315]

While I agree to an extent, I suspect I'll be using wheel/pedals and interior view so it won't bug me at all (assuming wheel supported)!

[@rafamadrigal12]

First thing I noticed and instantly made me question getting this game

[@lucasdegraaf4072]

The limited steering animation is worrying me. It's been a proper wish by many to have the cockpit steering wheel animation like Midnight Club LA and The Crew Motorfest. Hopefully it'll be there at release or even added on later. No Crossplay is really not acceptable in 2024 anymore. For the rest it looks good and what a TDU follow up should look like (hoping for the houses update to be coming soon).

[@Soxynos]

Yeah, steering and shifting animation could be better, it looks way too stiff. And the no crossplay is really annoying.

[@SA4GAR]

Crew for playstation will remain goated until they perfect this game. Forza is brilliant but i think crew motorfest in terms of aesthetics and mechanics is amazing

[@Cattyxdd]

The steering animation is especially annoying when you're playing on a wheel with realistic rotation degree

[@PavelStean]

Yeah, they made great detailed interiors of the cars but the steering wheel turning breaks the immersion and makes you to switch camera to the third person.

[@Soxynos]

@@PavelStean there is still the dashboard view without the wheel, wich I might use since I'll likely use my own steering wheel to play the game.

@@GJminions1 ah i thought the nissan gtr was a starter car for some reason sorry😅

[@ZinkUnofficial]

For me, it’s really the little things from the previous TDU titles that made TDU what it was that they’re missing from this title. One thing is the vehicle-specific gauges. Can’t remember if the first game had these but I know the second game had them and did a very good job at giving each vehicle its real-life tachometer and even speedometer if using bumper cam instead of just having a default tac for every car. Another thing is the fonts and sounds they use when scrolling through a menu and selecting an item. Usually I wouldn’t care about this type of thing in any other racing game but it’s just something about the way TDU2 did the fonts and sound effects that made the game THAT much more special. Also just the soundtrack as a whole. Menu music, driving music, lobby music, store music, house music…car wash music😉…and the way each property had its own soundtrack that would really amp the feel of where you were at. I don’t know what the soundtrack is like in Solar Crown but I’m praying that it’s good. Just my $0.02. I’m excited nonetheless 😊

[@lolarafeeq8269]

I agree with you. The sounds especially when you enter the dealership were godly. They said houses are gonna be added so maybe in the feature we will have a complete test drive… also dealerships look stunning so maybe it will actually be a pure trst drive experience

[@MrChick86]

EXACTLY. All the little details you mentionned are what makes a game stay in our heart forever ..

[@Ricys]

The first tdu did indeed have unique gauges even for the bikes! And even for the special dlc cars that barely anyone knew existed in the game. I hope they bring unique gauges, houses and more to this game

[@brunobaccinc]

YES!!! YES, YES!!! The “real life” tachometer was so SPECIAL! One of the things that made me a TDU fan. Unique details. I’ll miss this very much if they use this generic rev counter. It was so nice to change the car and the speedometer and rev counter change too. Let’s start a campaign for implement of the real gauges hahaahaha

[@samsingh445]

YES EXACTLY! I loved the Brand specific gauges In TDU 2, it's just those little things that made that game so good, i didn't think anyone else cared about that ahaha

[@Flapjack7]

[@EarthBatTV]

I love that they let us choose other OEM rims, also the choice of starter cars is perfect in my opinion

I'm gonna go with the Alpine. It's not often that we get to choose a French car as a starter.

[@EarthBatTV]

@@Soxynos same, even that I'm mot French, I love Alpine

[@brunobaccinc]

Yep! I was concerned about that, but thankfully we can choose OEM wheels when buying the car. The interior is other nice touch that TDU had and is going to have again. That things made me TDU fan as a kid. The only thing that bothers me, for now, is the generic rev counter. Let’s hope for a change, and they use the real life cluster for every car.

The house, and the ability to freely walk around that, as well as to freely walk around my owned cars in my own garage is what made the original TDU my favourite driving game - even though the driving mechanics weren't that good in comparison to others - it was more of a driving lifestyle game, but being able to walk between my cars in the garage - or the ability to walk into a showroom and again walk around them freely - not snap to car or a raised platform that auto switches cars out - can not be overstated on how important it is to TDU...

Really excited for this game and after seeing gameplay i probably will pre-order it (hopefully we dont get a repeat of FH5 at launch where the servers dont work on day one but hopefully Nacon can deliver) But a couple of things: 1. I was a little worried about the starter car choice but after thinking about it, other than the Alpine, a Mustang or a 370z is probably a lot of peoples starter cars to get into street racing 2. Nacon is wrong about the houses, houses were an INTEGRAL part of everyone's love for TDU 2. Making the paintings on the wall your in game photos, changing the wallpapers and couches and the closet where you could change clothes were essential in the game and made people want to keep playing to buy more expensive cars and houses. I know they said they were eventually thinking about adding properties in the map but that honestly should have been a higher priority than just making a 6 car garage. 3. The gameplay looks great and im glad they kept a lot of the lifestyle features like blinkers and convertible rooftops and personalizing your car in the dealership to a specific spec of your liking rather than just choosing 1 paint color. Hopefully this game is great and becomes so popular that it becomes real competition for AAA racing games. I love NFS Unbound, i love FH5, i like GT7, i like TCM, im ok with Forza Motorsport, but its very apparent that those franchises (except maybe NFS) have gotten comfortable and dont take risks or they copy other game formulas due to their popularity because they dont really have that competition and i hope this game gives them all a run for their money so they're forced to evolve

It makes sense when you watch the trailer. Your character is NOT new to this, and the solar crown is not an entry level event. This is years and years of working their way to this event.

why did they remove properties this was the first ever td i would have ever bought and the whole reason is because its not just a car game where you buy cars and drive them but also being able to own properties was also a big selling point of this game for me!

As a HongKonger, if there are more double-decker bus, and other public transport, it gives more realistic atmosphere of HK. building a very unique game up from Forza Horizon & Need for Speed.

You say that but if you ever played crew two there's loads of traffic on the roads as well as npcs walking up and down the path

[@vladislavmatiusenco1089]

I'm a big TDU and TDU2 fan, spent countless hours in TDU2 and love it. But I won't even think about buying it if it has that "drift at every corner handling". There are enough games with that handling: nfs, forza, the crew, you name it. If i wanted this handling i would've played those games long ago, but i dont want to. I prefer TDU2 handling model. So i hope it has a decent grip handling.

The game is not consistent in terms of framerate, for a game that is delayed like a few times and its online only is disappointing imo, and to add fuel to the fire, they are missing a lot of features that should be there in the beginning, they should fix the framerate and some issues before releasing this game.

This has massive potential to be the best modern racing game. They've came long way from the early alpha shots and TDUConnect footage. Glad they havent rushed with this game. My only grope is the steering wheel rotation in cockpit. It reminds too much of The Crew 2. Hope theyll still improve this aspect.

[@carlover4249]

Modern? But doesn't have cross play. This game won't last at all. Look at the crew motorfest it didn't have cross play and is why sales were Soo low when it first came out and also player count is decreasing ridiculously. I won the game and it's Soo dead now.

Test drive is back. And If Test drive fans support this game , then, forza horizon and the crewmotorfest has a real problem on their hands because my childhood has returned with vengeance.

[@benn87]

You know what? I support the game if it's worth it. For me, however, the warning signals are unfortunately getting louder and louder with every new piece of information. I'm certainly not going to buy the game just because it says Test Drive Unlimited on the box. For me, it has to have Test Drive Unlimited in it. And I have my doubts about that...

Cars look floaty and more like boats with wheels. They dont actually exist on the road where the wheels create contact with the ground and give you feedback with friction. instead it looks just like any other racing game in which they spend all their time on reflections and the world but miss the vital ingredient that makes a racing game worth playing Car physics

[@Kortex_Racing]

It's because there are no fake shadows under the car like forza

[@DV-ou1yu]

​@Kortex_Racing Forza has good controller feedback and feels like tires are fighting for grip. Now Motorfest fits the "bad physics" feel

[@kak8895]

You can't be expecting an arcade game to have realistic physics

[@kak8895]

​@@Kortex_RacingThere's nothing fake about soft shadows, ambient occlusion or just high resolution shadows under a vehicle. You clowns always look for small things to complain about Forza that makes you sound dumb.

I won’t lie, when you dont have things like pedestrians walking around and the most up to date versions of cars (I.e. 2009 GTR instead of 2017+, F150 Raptor Eco Boost instead of the new Raptor R V8 Supercharged) I can let it slide bc I know you put crazy effort into the cars n features you did include in the game. First thing I looked for was a more fuller operational gauge cluster. It’s still early so maybe that’s in the works, but I would’ve expected the Boost gauges to work in cars. I can’t imagine you added the gauge then said “let’s pretend it works.” Some cars have G-Force meters, power meters (hp and tq) and what not. Some have navigation in the gauge cluster. Will we have operational “TDU” style navigation screens in the cars?? Bc I LOVED that about TDU2.

[@_blankface]

Man it looks fucking great!

[@SceneArtisan]

I'd be interested in this if: The world is bigger than The Crew 2. The (world) map has LOTS of races each with different difficulties. Speed traps. Full car improvement. Full race/lap editor/customisation. Fully custom liveries. Off-road rallying. Jumps. Drifting. Destructive street furniture. Day/night cycle. Inclement weather (wind to make driving a challenge), heavy rain, prolonged thunderstorms, thick fog, snow, ice, dust-storms etc. Some aircraft would be good too. Motorbikes, bikes with side-cars. Wildlife running across the road. High-altitude driving, mountains etc. Rally-raid.

[@Madso48]

Go play the crew so

[@Monaco377]

Aircraft? This isn't the crew. Even the first crew didn't have that nonsense. Also, no, the world isn't bigger than the crew. This game started development with a 40 head count at the time. Considering that, they did a great job.
