Pretty much an open-world racer with Forza simulation physics and mechanics.

I'M EXCITED.

Would be like TDU with proper physics.

Made in association with Playground Games.

E3 Demonstration (watch this for what the games about. (gameplay starts 12:00. first few minutes could probably be skipped).

I love the FM as well. This is an off shoot. I for one am excited for this providing they do what they say when say they are using forzas physics engine.

I love the idea of an open world simulator. I'm hoping this is it

Regardless... why does there need to be a newer version already? unless Forza is going down the Need for Speed route and releasing newer versions per year with a 'twist'... eh!

Its like the constant fkn release of Call of Duties... nerds cant hold onto their cash with this bullshit! :woot:

It's fixing the one thing that I think Forza lacks - open world driving FTW. TDU is an awesome concept, with Forza physics and development behind the concept, I'm looking forward to it for a bit of variety!

I can see this being the one thing I wanted from the other Forza games, a way to drive the cars that I spend so much time tuning and fiddling with without the limits of a couple of tracks. If it carries the same feel and features of the previous Forza games I can see myself playing the heck out of it, finding awesome bits of road and messing around with mates for giggles.

Yes... if it is true Forza physics in a GTA-type open environment... pure win. Traffic, cop chases (was it mentioned at all?).

Oh and i know it would never make it - but a Carmageddon unlock! hahaha

I have a feeling its gonna be fairly limited.

ie;

  • No cop chases (bad image for the car scene)
  • No traffic
  • Little/No modifying (mainly boring supercars, R34 makes an appearance in trailer)
  • A percentage of the cars we're used to seeing on Forza (see above point)

I hope I'm wrong.

But that doesn't happen often.

I'd have thought if it follows the Forza formula that mods would be a plenty. N what's the point of open world environment without traffic?

That short made it slightly seem like a cannonball run scenario to me... But not. Eh.

Wait and see... I'll hire like always before I decide to buy :)

theres no mention of cops. so im not sure (guessing not)

there is traffic.

id imagine that tuning and modifying would be the same as Forza.

and they mentioned that they took cars that people would want to take to an automotive festival. no one's gonna be proud of their Chevy Pinto/many of Forza's E class cars.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
