The pearl of Pacific ocean is updated with its topography and outfit to match Ibiza and you don't have to play much before you can already get there. In addition to Oahu, clearly meant for fans, Eden Studios promises to listen to people when it comes to DLC. For example, if the community wants motorcycles, Eden will make motorcycles. New tracks and cars are sure to follow.

The demonstration had a bunch of new features in addition to the polishing
(My note: The sentence refers to cleaning our cars but I wouldn't be 100% sure). Car damage is now in as well as drivability depening on weather and roads. Damage is taken from little scratches in the paint to panels falling of, but you still can't completely trash these envied cars. Damage affecting drivability wasn't still 100% sure. During rain the slippery asphalt gives a challenge to driving around the bends and without four wheel drive, offroading will cause you to spin out and lose your speed.

But still the most important part was that we could test the game behind the wheel of 2 different cars. It was sadly short and limited to only cruising. During it we tested a looser Mustang and a tighter Audi. Where as the fantastic and sharply acting Audi was maybe a bit too easy to drive, the Mustang, which requires more from the driver, felt really different and easily turned into four-wheel slide. Judging by the demonstration, car handlings have big differences, but still it feels more like fun gameplay than precise realism.

Technicallythe game seems really good. Loading times and transistions on the island are quick. Even though the handling will probably be improved, the cars act consistently and the bit shredding psychics engine didn't flip the cars suddenly to the roof or inside walls, which can happen in early versions of the games. The user interface seemed really good.

In addition to the graphical eyecandy, the game is full of small details including city lights that light up when it becomes dark and the ragtops, which automatically rise when it rains (My note: !!! I thought it was manual?!). The car interiors are more detailed than in any other racing game I have played. Even though there is the solid online part, the single player doesn't need constant internet connection like in Ubisofts notorious copy protection.

Filled by enormous islands, countless luxury cars and varied online play, TDU2 jumped high in my racing game wishlist. The demonstration version I played was a bit rough so the handling is still a little bit in the dark, but the unplayable version showed that the balance between fun gameplay and realism is good. We will wait for the test version and its thousands of roads

Par où commencer …
Déjà vous dire que ce que vous avez vu dans le trailer n’est pas du tout représentatif, niveau conduite, de ce qu’est le jeu aujourd’hui. Il s’agissait de cinématiques. Ce trailer était là avant tout pour vous mettre dans l’ambiance du jeu.

Le traffic n'est pas extremement dense. Cela varie en fonction de l'heure et des lieux (route, ville, autoroute, ...). Il a été question au sein de l'équipe d'augmenter cette densité. Après essais, ils ont préférés ne pas trop charger. Cela devenait plus contraignant à la longue. La circulation actuelle est suffisante pour mettre un peu d'animation mais permet de slalomer avec plaisir entre les voitures sans que cela devienne un enfer.

Concernant les animations, les clignotants fonctionnent, la capote superbement animée aussi, appels de phare également. En revenche, mettre les phares n'est pas possible. Ils se déclanchent automatiquement lorsque la nuit tombe ou lorsque vous passez sous un tunnel.

Sachez enfin, meme si ce point sera abordé dans l'autre partie de l'article, que suite à vos réactions concernant la voiture uniquement disponible au sein du club et en un unique exemplaire sera désormait accessible à tous les membres du club en même temps. Pour ceux qui avaient peur, plus besoin de vous battre pour prendre la voiture lors d'un ride

ils ont testé le jeu chez tdu2.fr et ca donne bien envie: http://www.tdu2.fr/

Bonne lecture.

Euh, tu ne le vendais pas il y a peu?? :D
