The TDU2 BETA has been out for a while and plenty of gameplay clips (sadly most with chase cam)

I've played TDU1 a ton, mostly with the same few cars just cruising about.

---

For those unbeknown to TDU, the original game's roads are satellite replica of the island of O'ahu, Hawaii. You cruise around in kinda of an MMO setting. There is a mix is single and multiplayer in the one game that you play. Driving around the MMO world you randomly come across other players, or teleport to specific players/friends. You have the freedom to cruise more than 1500k worth of roads. Up to 8 players can see each other, which surprisingly makes for more than enough mayhem at 300-400km/h.

The cars are hot, the graphics were nice for their day. And I found the handling of the cars fairly accurate as long as you're using a wheel at least. Having the G25, the game supports H shifter, clutch, and force feedback to the point where you can feel understeer coming on, etc. Set your controls properly and you can use the brake in the manner of a normal car. (Separate axis, so you feather the break during powerskids, etc, harmless but immersive fun.)

You can make your own Point A to Point B races with friends, a race of 1km, or maybe a race of 100km. Buy houses with huge garages, basic car upgrading, custom paint, car clubs, a race track that exists on the island itself, it's all in there.

Once you're cruising a long highway at 250+ for a short time, I feel immersed in the game far more than I do with other various racing games. And there is none of that Need for Speed 200-300km/h around heavy bends either, when you get up to high speeds the car becomes very sensitive as it should.

---

This all being said, TDU2 comes out early next year last time I checked. Since I lost my TDU1 account in a format, and the disc got too scratched, I cbf'd with the original so I'm pumped for this release.

Who else is keen on this? It's one of the only kinds of game in this genre (MMO/Driving/Semi-Sim) and I knew a few people on the original who cruised every night, so if you have a decent setup (or any setup for that matter) I recommend TDU2 for countless hours of breaking the law with friends.

EOF :P

hmmm.. i've got it through steam ( it was released through steam today). and so far there is little wheel support. alot of people are having problems with G25/G27 and MOMO FF wheels not registering and not working properly.

and for those who took part in the beta, the jackets and special items will be restored to your closet by an update. for those wondering.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
