View Full Version : The new TDU demo is out now
Apparently it's 60 minutes of gameplay with some new missions and one of the motorbikes along with new cars, busy at the moment but am desperate to test it out asap, if anyone does it soon please post here what it's like.
Lets pray the gameplay is good, I really want the game! :party:

Yeah I saw it on there a little while when looking for the Just Cause demo.
I'm really not bothered about TDU after playing the first demo.
:)
Same, but it looks good and sounds good so why not give it a go, the physics would've had to be totally revamped from demo #1 if I am to like it as they just sucked.
Now downloading it..
Slow....

In case people are wondering what TDU is? its Test Drive Unlimited.
I tested only the bike could be better but looks pretty good.
not a must buy, only if your friends do it too.

Yeah agree slightly - did enjoy the bike aspects, the handling is still okay but the game looks great in hd

Ive got this on pre-order and im starting to regret it! I think the bike handling is shocking (which i was looking forward to) and ive met nothing but weirdos on there:'( :'( :'( I think perhaps i was a bit hasty in pre-ordering it! As for some reason i just did not like it this time round even though i played the old demo 30 to 40 times:s

It's a improvement (first demo was rather poor) but it's not enough to make me want to get it. ScreenSelect can get this one for me.

Trying to download this but for some reason it's being an arse, I had it at 70% then I started playing Prey (offline) and it just started start and stopping the download every minute, going back to 0% every time.

Unless it's over 2GB then yes.
Pretty sure it's 780 some so I should...
I think it's a problem with Prey, if I was out of space but it got to 70% once it wouldn't just reset and reset, it would reset, go to 70% then reset again.

Well it finally downloaded after I got out of Prey, and I'm loving it no matter how odd the physics are. I've had multiple run ins with people and we've driven around and had some races, it is fun as crap. I also like the fact that after driving for 45 minutes I was still seeing tons of places that I'd never seen before, and that was just the demo.
I can definitely fork out $40 for this too since I haven't bought any games since Chromehounds in mid-July :D

yeah i agree with u
This game is rubbish, the driving physics are so crap and slow it's impossible for me to drive, definately be scrapping this game.
Thing that I'm concerned about with TDU is that it was made by the same people who made Driver 3, I'm sure we can all remember how glitchy that was, and after the first demo, I wasn't impressed.
But I will say, I played the new demo, and I did end up playing it for a quite a while, they have ironed out a few little bugs which were bugging me which is good. :)

Well i did say earlier that i was disappointed with the new demo as ive pre-ordered it. Well ive played it a lot more and its growing on me. I think there is going to be some good gangs of cars and also bike gangs burning around:D so i think thats going to be really cool(Y)

Yeah its growing on me as well. I dont think I will buy it now but maybe a trade on here or maybe get it 2nd hand but I certainly think a lot more of it now than I did when demo 1 was out:)

the people that made DRIVER3 made a mistake doing the game, not just with gameplay but overall.
I dont think the same problem will come up again
Remember people this is going to be a cheap title like table tennis

Woah I didn't realise that.

I heard that before but i thought it was just the U.S
If it's going to be cheaper in the US it WILL be cheaper in the UK. It's has to be as US games are cheaper anyway.
im downlaoding this now, i hope its better than the first demo released as i didnt like that and just thought it was pretty boring tbh

ohh if it's a budget title i might check it out :)
just playing......
no graphical improvement from last demo (not bothered anyways)
dont like the bikes handling
the cars are not bad
i can only see me renting this or borrowing from a mate
