evoman91 Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Atari has announced Test Drive Unlimited 2, which developer Eden Studios is looking to expand beyond the borders of the previous game, pushing the envelope with something they've dubbed M.O.O.R.The acronym stands for Massively Open Online Racing, meaning that the online world is a persistent one where players can compete or team-up and share content. Test Drive Unlimited 2's single-player and multiplayer aspects will seamlessly complement one another as according to the press release, TDU2 is "always live," with automatic updates and a narrative mode that's playable in both single and multiplayer. Eden is also promising realistic vehicle performance and dynamics, as well as a damage model, weather effects, a day/night cycle and a completely new island to explore. Expect a slew of licensed cars and a greater level of customisation too, in addition to buying clothes and hot beachside property like before. Test Drive Unlimited 2 will be even more unlimiteder it seems and is due for Autumn 2010, or this Fall, if you like.

deletedxyz Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I CAN'T WAIT! Even four years after the first game released, I am still playing it! The graphics still look amazing. This sequel will offer the persistent, open-world multiplayer racing of its predecessor, while introducing new elements such as vehicle damage, day and night cycles, and weather.The press release promises "the world's most desirable vehicles," but we all know the best part of Test Drive Unlimited was the fancy clothes you could buy for your character. We can't wait to see what exciting fashion lines TDU2 brings to the table. Source: Joystiq Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Markus Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Great, I loved TD:U! Just hope there's more focus on bringing players together and actually make you feel part of a 'society' My major gripe with the first one was how you could drive around and just feel totally lonely, even though there were other online drivers there.. Any hints from Eden/Atari whether they're sticking to Hawaii, or moving it to a different island? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicane-UK Veteran Posted March 3, 2010 Veteran Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) Mmmm, Gumpert Apollo. lol! Just said the exact same thing to a mate over IM ;) The ONE thing they have to get right on this is engine noises.. they just sucked nuts on Test Drive Unlimited. If they can get them as good as they are in Forza 3, I'll be very very happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deletedxyz Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 I would love to see live weather updates, like in Flight Simulator X and better traffic interaction. Intelligent NPC's would be a very good addition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MightyJordan Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I find it hard to believe that it will be coming out in Autumn 2010! Why not? The first one came out in September 2006. The sequel has probably been in the pipeline for a couple of years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Probably would have been out a lot sooner if they hadn't wasted their time with Race Pro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lovell Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 I loved the first one it was just way to buggy, can remember in the beta every time they'd fix a bug they'd end up adding 2 more :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Markus Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 There's some new high resolution renders published by the German gaming magazine PCgames on their website link By the look of this render, the cars will be able to do some type of transformation (?) Interesting... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyJordan Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 By the look of this render, the cars will be able to do some type of transformation (?) Interesting... I was going to suggest that it might have been a really flamboyant car selection screen, but the car the Lambo transforms into retains some of its carbon fibre body parts, so it looks like it does transform. :shiftyninja: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
