Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is Coming & Motorfest Should be Scared… - Here’s Why

[@SaneU_c]

I wouldn’t be surprised if TDU’s launch has more content to offer than TCM has after all these updates..

[@Blockedinsight]

Haha I was thinking that 😂😭

[@robertmoore9736]

Quick question can you play that game on PS5 system

[@Blockedinsight]

@@robertmoore9736 Oh yeah TDUSC will be on the PS5, it’s actually available for Pre order now in the store if you wanted to check the Editions

[@zaiyaiyai]

More information and details on the game, its content and its future coming Monday morning with Alain Jarniou 👀 Can't wait to find out more. TDUSC HYPE!!

[@Blockedinsight]

Let’s gooo!!!

[@ld9387]

More racing games means more competition which means more innovation. It's a win for everyone

[@Blockedinsight]

100% facts, plus it can makes the other games and all step it up!!

[@kevinsmith4362]

Need some more info to be released re Crossplay, is it fully integrated as in FH5? Don't like the bit about PvP focus and level reset if you change Clans, why buy the Gold Ed which includes cars from both Clans if your level gets reset? More info on progression required. I know we still have 3 months to wait for this and info will filter out, but i'm holding out on pre order until a few more details are released. Graphics look awesome though in the latest gameplay shown

[@Blockedinsight]

Understandable on that, I’m planning on way more content on with information as well on this!! I’ve also seen that the events will fill up with AI and if there’s not many in your lobby the entire event will be AI too

[@bojansosa9779]

I'm definitely buying it, but not pre-ordering. PvP focus is still kind of bothers me. I heard you gain experience while racing for a clan. And if you want to change clans your level gets reset. You know what is funny? Cars are level locked. Now it could mean nothing. But if there are cars that are also clan specific I'm going to explode! 😂

[@Blockedinsight]

😂😂 That could be interesting and understandable, I really hope that have races where you can just go against AI if you want

[@MrQuicheProductions]

Level and reputation is not the same thing, we already know that we have a level and that reputation is not linked to this and the cars being locked is only for progression purposes so you don't start the game with a Ford GT because you pre-ordered it. But yes your reputation is reset if you leave a clan and join back and that makes sense

[@stijnVDA1994]

Honestly if test drive has vehicle customisation and restoration i'm going to get the collectors edition..

[@Blockedinsight]

I’m excited to see what they add for customization…

[@stijnVDA1994]

@@Blockedinsight i just googled it. There is customisation, but it's reputation locked so it's gonna be quite annoying to upgrade the car unless you get rep really easily(source the test drive unlimited website on the solar crown organisation)

[@jabulanimpele4360]

It's the second time you made this video? Or am I halusinating

[@Blockedinsight]

Oh no I haven’t done it twice, I did compare a while back though but after more stuff on it has dropped

[@valdis6088]

Dont excpect much, same thing happend with MF that FH5 should be scared. TDUSC is gonna be a hype for couple months then it will be a let down like MF

[@Blockedinsight]

It’s a possibility for sure but Motorfest hasn’t been handled well at all though, TDUSC doesn’t have to do that much more to be better unfortunately… I have high hopes for it because a new racing game sounds great at this point

[@nfsiiihp]

But FH5 SHOULD be scared especially with that degoratory rally DLC that has a location that looks like something cut from Mexico map and don't get me started on them adding a new intro just to find out it's only about the track creating items

[@bobmarley6306]

The map is a scale recreation of Hong Kong Island so from this we know the size (I think)

[@Blockedinsight]

The fact they’re doing a 1:1 Scale is awesome too, I can’t wait to explore it!!

[@criss5764]

Especially with FH6 coming soon and Test drive inlimited solar crown will not be everyones cup of tea 🤷🏼. I'm hyped for solar crown since the first ever reveal was 4 years ago!!! Development on this game has got to be on point and optimization is key. There needs to be an offline mode where you can race AI. That would be so sick through the city streets and the hills and forests of hong kong island 🔥🔥. All i got to say is LETTTSSSS GOOOOOOO 💯

[@Blockedinsight]

Definitely!! I think they will end up adding AI to the events so people at least will have the option

[@benn87]

THERE IS NO OFFLINE MODE!!!

[@J.Easterday]

Hong Kong much smaller than Hawaii so hopefully they can do more with it then Ubisoft has done with mf so far. Hyped for sc tho and can't wait

[@Blockedinsight]

Same here and I think they will, I was expecting more from Ubisoft with Hawaii tbh

[@drippyyello7413]

This hard🔥🔥🔥

[@Blockedinsight]

So hyped 🔥🔥

[@KingdomTwelve]

I CANNOT WAIT!! Are you going streets or sharps?? We need to cruise around 👌

[@Blockedinsight]

Yooo same here!!! And I’m thinking of going towards Sharps for more of the Sophistication part of it, but then again Streets are aiming towards the Wild side 🤔 Which one are you planning on getting picking??

[@KingdomTwelve]

@@Blockedinsight Sharps all the wayyyyyy

[@Blockedinsight]

@@KingdomTwelve Let’s gooo!! I’m thinking more towards that one as well, definitely down to cruise and race too 💯

[@dmitrijolejnitsch3313]

I played in the colsed beta, driving is really very nice - car, speed feel and handling is very good, even than in FH5.

[@Blockedinsight]

I know we can’t talk about the Playtest and all but I have to agree!! I really enjoyed it, the final game will probably be 10x better too

[@CrunchTime_]

Rip motorfest

[@Blockedinsight]

It’s looking like that 😭

[@dgxxtreme]

These 2 gamed should be scared for WRECKREATION!!! 💀😎🔥💯

[@Blockedinsight]

That could be great too!!

[@skyraiser9]

I hate to say it, but if it is primarily PvP-focused this will be a pass for me. I never do PvP in Forza or Motorfest and I would not enjoy the game if PvP is really all that it offers, but I do like the idea of additional competition in the Genre.

[@Blockedinsight]

Yeah I do hope they actually add Ai to the events, that would be awesome

[@nfsiiihp]

Just look at those creeps playing Unbound recording everything and waiting for ANYONE to make a mistake to make a public "gotcha" moment... I don't want this in TDUSC

[@KingdomTwelve]

@@Blockedinsight They do have AI in the game. I do know that when they did a playtest, the servers exploded and everyone was playing solo and racing AI. Not sure if it'll be an option but it's possible.

[@Blockedinsight]

@@KingdomTwelve I do remember that from the Playtest and thought “They definitely need to do this” 😂

[@scapegoat_0001]

​​@@Blockedinsight They've already confirmed that races will be an online lobby with AI autofill all the way back in mid-2023 before the Playtests began. In a Gamescom article by THEGAMER, it was said that depending on the amount of players in your freeroam lobby, you might not even have a real player opponent due to the size size and density of the map.

[@davidm113]

They’ve already showed gameplay. Already. Test Drive is back. And Testdrive fans, will support it.

[@Blockedinsight]

Very excited for it, I think it will be great too!!

[@shaqplays2222]

These last couple of weeks for me been straight nfs unbound, picked up gt7 the other day too n I’m hooked😭🔥🔥, screw motorfest until they get their sh8t together

[@shaqplays2222]

Ion even give the current car summit my all this week cuz like y even bother

[@Blockedinsight]

Haha I don’t blame you on that, I’ve been playing NFS a lot too!! Motorfest definitely needs to get it together..

[@shaqplays2222]

@@Blockedinsight don’t know much about the test drive franchise n never played one before, but it looks really good, hopefully it is🔥🔥 would be more heat in the racing game genre I’m all for it bro💙

[@nfsiiihp]

No screw Unbound too!!

[@nfsiiihp]

No screw Unbound too!!

[@benn87]

You are funny. None of the competitors need to be scared. With all the missing features, the always online, the probably much smaller car list, the game won't be able to hold players for long. Horizon players in particular are expecting tonnes of cars thrown at them. Firstly there will be a lot less cars in the game, and 2ndly there will be a real slow old school progression. Both things the average Horizon player doesn't want.

[@Blockedinsight]

I mean you aren’t wrong, I’m looking at it as a different experience because there’s not much when it comes to competition at the moment!! Less cars and all isn’t necessarily a bad thing, example is the 600+ Cars in Motorfest but nothing to do with them…

[@td8827]

so where do u pre-order the gold edition its not on microsofts site

[@Blockedinsight]

On the PlayStation store it had the Gold Edition, did you check it on steam??

all these racing games needs more classic cars trucks alway everything loaded with hyper cars ect

[@Blockedinsight]

I would also like to see to this, crazy how many do focus hyper cars like I understand as well but more Off-road based trucks and all would be sweet

[@nfsiiihp]

But hyper/supercars ARE the reason why I want tdusc, I don't want neons and christmas tree looking VW Polo anymore

[@danielmaytie]

There’s a video that was made on the new TDU game during a KZbinr testing event and the game looked awful, really hoping it looks as good as motorfest or even forza

[@Blockedinsight]

Ohhh yeah that awhile back I believe Blackpanthaa was in that and I could then it probably needed finishing touches, the amount of detail it will have if it’s even close to Forza or Motorfest that will be really impressive

[@davidhebson1262]

I really hope the game is good. If they give us plenty of content, motorfest will be dead. Unless ubisoft/ IVT get there finger out and address many of the issues. I guess time will tell.

[@Blockedinsight]

I agree 100%, I’m also hoping TDUSC will be good!! Motorfest really does need help too, crazy how it’s been handled so far

[@Chris2007_x]

No hon kong never been in a video game from what i know of and definitely going to be bigger with a 1.1 scale of the actual hon kong island as we discussed in depth on PlayStation it’s well needed the competition as it might wake the people at ivory tower up 100% agree on the rewards sucking

[@Blockedinsight]

Okay that’s what I was thinking, makes me more hyped to have a new location!! More competition is definitely needed too, maybe that will help Motorfest!!

[@Chris2007_x]

@@Blockedinsight fingers crossed it does because the game dropped off hard am hopeful for it to improve just with what they did in the crew 2 update wise and all the devs working on motorfest now think crew 2 held them back having both run side by side

[@Blockedinsight]

@@Chris2007_x Yeah I’m thinking that as well, I was also looking at it like Motorfest probably shouldn’t come out when it did… Maybe waiting another year would of been better, The Crew 2 was thriving so they probably could of kept it alive longer then built upon Motorfest

[@Chris2007_x]

Honestly I think it started with the overall concept playlists don’t really work cause if we knew prior it was gonna be that way we know it be boring quickly they was to focused copying the forza horizon festival route instead of sticking to what was great wouldn’t mind this island it’s nothing the size the test drive one it’s a huge fundamental issue from the get go crew 2 didn’t help but am giving them benefit of the doubt for now as they had both going now they have to deliver!

[@Blockedinsight]

@@Chris2007_x I 100% agree, the Playlists design wasn’t the best idea as you mentioned trying to copy the festival thing like Forza!! I’m also being optimistic that maybe they turn it around a release some big updates later this year

[@polcompanystrilla5825]

TDUSC!!!

[@Blockedinsight]

Hype is building 🗣️🗣️

[@td8827]

i did pre-order on one for the ford gt but i seen a vid.. that there are gold or so edition i dont see that on pre-order and if they update with dlc like other games it be great if not no need to even think of buying it

[@Blockedinsight]

That’s true!! I’m probably going to get the Gold Edition, I’m also wondering if DLC’s will be included afterwards but even if they add one for like 20$ down the road I’m happy with that

[@dragon44789]

What about cops??

[@Blockedinsight]

I’m thinking they probably won’t be in the game but who knows they they wkk

[@orlandovega6384]

Motorfest was a waste of money the car handling is absolute trash i hate it

[@Blockedinsight]

I can’t really argue that, the handling can be odd at times

[@KweavSports]

Test drive PVP looking awesome!!

[@Blockedinsight]

I think it will be good!! Glad they’re doing an approach with having AI too!!

[@dylanmijer2890]

I’m not going to pre-order but I will get the game, the options aren’t worth the extra pay, TDU is an amazing racing game that added the element of the racing life that most other racing games don’t have, the crew 2 tried but ditched it in TCM, and the latest F1 game has it but with limited mobility and it’s more so a simulation racing game, to me those games tend to be not as fun, but adding the elements of having your own home and displaying your cars plus being able to decorate your interior set’s TDU ahead of the pack, TCM not having a home to display your cars is the reason why I didn’t buy the game, the F1 game is cool but it’s not for me, still want to play just for that Ft, TDU is the best racing game, outside of TDU2 handling, hopefully TDUSC fixed that.

[@Blockedinsight]

All great points, it’s crazy because you’re right about The Crew 2 was getting somewhere then TCM kind of took it away!! I’m excited to Play TDUSC because it really does seem different with what it offers, the Garage thing and all will be sweet!! Also that Viper in your profile pic is 🔥🔥

[@CarlRaven91]

After 13 years, we finally get a new TDU game! And a new Test Drive game after 12 years, the last one was Ferrari Racing Legends. I have hope as some of the devs from KT Racing were formerly from Eden Games, the studio behind the first two TDU games.

[@Blockedinsight]

I’m really excited for this as well!! I think it will be really good
