Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown vs Forza Horizon 5 - Physics and Details Comparison

[@kedwyd6535]

For being a small budget game, TDU Solar Crown is getting alot of things right

[@Nobody_PlaysGames]

But getting alot of hate bc of graphics

[@Bullet3Designs]

@@Nobody_PlaysGames the graphics are fabulous, just a few improvements and it already looks better than fh5 because of its scenery

[@mondodimotori]

@@Nobody_PlaysGames It has the problems of open world with real time day/night cycle. The more light sources there are around, the better it looks. That's why it looks flat in the daylight but astounding at night. Of course, this is just a pre release demo, we don't even know when this build was compiled.

[@sandcrakes]

​@@mondodimotoriI thought of the same thing. In day time, Solar Crown looks like a cheap mobile game, but it is fantastic at night

[@schnitzel_enjoyer]

They spent a bit too much hiring KZbin streamers

[@cardinal151515]

FH5 is definitely better in a lot of aspects because its an AAA game. TDU on the other hand looks impressive for a small budget game. It has a lot of potential. They just need to fix the bugs and optimize it better.

[@od13166]

For 3month? not gonna happen

[@caley1942]

@@od13166 I agree with you, 3 months is not much, my hope is that Nacon will delay it by few more months or that this demo was ready to be shipped for some time and it isn't a representation of their most recent version of the game, but just a public stress test for their servers.

[@od13166]

@@caley1942 trailer visual was same as demo at this point

[@LEXZYEDITS]

That's just quite strange that TDU's budget is way smaller, but the price for the pre-order is the exact same to FH5 when it was just released. Really hope the price will be lower when Solar Crown releases completely, cause there's not a lot of people who would agree to pay $59 for that game...

[@mondodimotori]

@@LEXZYEDITS that's because it will probably move less copies than forza horizon. Ps, 70 bucks for a game in 2024 are still little. When you factor in inflation, games on super Nintendo used to be much more expensive than games today

[@mondodimotori]

One thing I've noticed driving around in TDU is that you get actually punished for driving off the asphalt: When you hit curbs or roadside elements not only you get speed penalty, your car also get unbalanced and you risk spinning out, especially without driving helps. I've spun several time in my first hour because I was always putting one or two wheels on the curb when cornering. That's an interesting quirk, because it rewards precise lines when driving. And something I never experienced in any Forza Horizon games, where I can tank through every curb/roadside element with minimal impact on my car and driving. Also I've read lot's of hate towards supposedly "bad optimization". Even if it's a pre release demo (and we don't even now when this build was compiled), the game feels pretty optimized alredy. I'm running it on a Ryzen 3600 and an RX5700, hardware that was considered mid tier alredy in 2019, and it can be even surpassed by current entry level hardware. And yet, at almost all lowest settings/ 1080p native (and max texture/anisotropic filter) I can almost hit consistently 60 FPS, and I'm always GPU limited, not CPU limited. Even the 8GB vram of my GPUs are less of a problem tha I expected. No stuttering, no shader compilation crap. And if I really don't care about FPS, I can cap the game at 30 (via drivers), almost max out the settings, and get rocksolid 30 FPS, still within the 8Gv frame buffer of my GPU. Of course, there it's a matter of preferences. I could even cap the game at 40 fps. The point of contention is: This is an MMO, it's being sold and marketed as an MMO. On STEAM the word MMO is one of the first you read in the game decription. Meaning it's always online. And, like any MMO in history, sooner or later is gonna shut down. Even the past two games, even if they had an offline component, suffered quite some cut contents when their server shut down. That's what's gonna break or make this game: how long will the servers live/eventual offline mode at the end of services. And if the game is not a success, those server may be closed much sooner than expected.

[@DajjalSlayers]

agree . I'd rather lock my game than get high fps but like shit. btw I can run almost game 100+ fps but I prefer lock 60

[@batata4862]

Test drive map isn't just countryside generated map, its a win to tdu, sound is way better in tdu tho, comparing tdu 2 to tdu solar crown its a huge upgrade, but comparing fh3 to fh5 there is barely any great upgrade. I think tdu developers are doing a great job

[@Nobody_PlaysGames]

Exactly I'm in a test drive unlimited solar crown group on FB and 80% of the group is crying

[@horvathr95]

I'm sorry what? TDU SC is a huge upgrade to TDU2? Oh come ooon, dont make me laugh. But ok, lets OBJECTIVELY examine it. No bikes, no police, much, much smaller map, online-only. Lets see the upgrades. Uhmmm, maybe better physics compared to TDU2 (but not to TDU1). Or better sounds? And pretty much thats it. Meanwhile going from FH3 to FH5 we had eliminator, eventlab, more customization, more cars, seasons, bigger map etc.

[@batata4862]

@@horvathr95 I don't care about police, police chases are so shit, why do every racing game has to have it? Tdu 2 had a shit police chase and I don't like it, it's a smaller map like Ibiza, the difference is that they didn't put Hawaii again, bikes was a dlc in tdu 2, maybe it will be a dlc tho, and the physics of the car is the main reason I play racing games

[@Nobody_PlaysGames]

@horvathr95 forza 1-3 was the last greats of forza horizon But f... that u really haven't examine the game have u the racing world needs test drive bc the rest dgaf and has been giving us they ahh too kiss every time the make promises but given us copy and paste shii, SO WHAT we can have all the cars in the world still won't make a game fun too play and FORZA is the prime 400+ cars with a big ahh map with no scenery, no city, bs seasons, the cars feel like remote control simply bc u can't do any no light, no wipers, no windows, no nothing but hey u got a collection of cars that sound the same 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@Kenshin0_4]

FH4 and FH5 are just copy and paste.

[@Nobody_PlaysGames]

One thing i noticed is tdusc traffic be listening to music and the named cars have backfire

[@JEKitchens]

Just a reminder TduSC wont release for another 3 months and the Demo is likely closer to beta test build since it takes lots of time to tidy up code before release

[@Michael27Romero]

"When you are able to go off-road and climb mountains, it's not the same level of simulation like a Formula 1 or WRC game," Jarniou explained. "The idea is to be more simulation than The Crew or Forza Horizon, which are quite arcadey." "Part of the enjoyment of driving is to have something that's realistic but not too simulation. But we want to give players the freedom to tweak driving aids to get something that's closer to simulation if they want." 💀

[@kaiherrmann9481]

When you see this video, you know how good Forza Horizon 5 actually is. I think we should also be grateful for what a great time we live in playing video games.

[@Yakffe]

Forza is an excellent game. Beautiful graphics and good optimization, fun handling physics, a huge car collection (+800 unique cars) and most of them can be modified for different purposes (drift/racing/rally etc..) My biggest criticism of it would be the map. But that’s just me. I prefer modern cities when I’m driving modern cars. The fundamental are done right, just needs some polishing

[@jacobisaac9934]

Comparing a beta to a finished game real nice

[@vitalll84]

TDU is absolutely another game! It’s not for Horizon or Crew fans? Yes, TDU is poorer, cheaper, has less graphics and bad optimization, but Tdu has a completely different approach to car physics, this is due to an experienced developer of rally simulators and the implementation of physx. This is not another Horizon and I am very happy about it.

[@yanis1065]

The TDU games never had a good physics, it always was it being a social racing game, that’s TDU

[@alexj.5207]

things can still change when they release the game

[@Lootward]

Yes, it is.

[@junior_hub7]

The physics of rubber deformation as in the mafia is at the highest level

[@Kazz7420]

I don't understand the graphics criticism for TDU at all. Sure it's buggy and a bit unfinished at times, but it looks great still otherwise?

[@rayfighter]

the criticism is valid but harder to put in words for lay people. It is the architecture and urbanism of the TDUSC world which is not immersive. (remember how in TDU2 the Ferrari dealership was so special compared to some cheap asian brand? Remember the villas on special spots? When did you spot any family house in TDUSC? Everything is just Radiant/SolarCrown. Roads network feel like hot-wheels track. It is just shit, and cannot be easily changed in few months time to the release).

[@julianandresful]

doesnt look great to me tbh, maybe at night its more decent but overall not good looking

[@pan7k]

TDU does not look to me as a “small, low budget game” at all.

[@grigorisbagiaras8065]

[@microthecat]

I like TDU map, Forza map kinda boring for me

[@cptLeviAckerman]

Remember FH5 is AAA and TDU is AA - FH5 map is a complete wasteland and feels boring while TDU map is 1:1 Scale of Hong Kong Island. For me, TDU wins 🏆 ❤

[@sumdued]

@@EvolutionBGEven if it feels dead (which it doesn’t, Forza is way more dead), at least it’s a modern city. FH5’s entire map feels 60 years old

[@rayfighter]

@@sumdued modern cities have people in it. (FH does) modern cities are not all just repeating concrete apartment buildings, they have family houses too. modern cities have memorable places in them with landmarks (FH5 does) Ferrari dealerships look noticably different from cheap asian brand shops in actual world (and in TDU2 world too). FH5 entire map is Mexico, and if it feels dead for some teen Tokyodrift FF fan, sure, but calling TDUSC city vibrant and lively is just ludicrous.

[@sumdued]

@@rayfighter FH5 may have people in its city, but they're hidden in corners to the point where you forget there are actually people. Hong Kong has very few single family homes due to the low availability and high demand of homes. It also has landmarks too like the Bank of China Tower. I never called TDUSC lively and vibrant, just not dead. And there are countless videos of people criticizing FH5's dead map

It's quite nonsensical, as anyone familiar with game development knows that the early playable version of a game, in terms of graphics, details, and many additional visual enhancements, only reaches its full potential upon final release.
