I dropped timecodes in the description and in this comment below for everything in this video in case you're interested, but here is basically my full breakdown and feedback on Season 2 for TDU SC! What do y'all think of the update so far? Timecodes: 0:00 - Evissa Map & Thoughts 2:40 - Race Gameplay 5:14 - The TDU DNA Is Ibiza? 6:35 - Selene Hub 6:51 - Proximity Chat 7:37 - Car Dealership 8:36 - New Clothing Stores! 11:06 - Races In-Depth 12:13 - Steering Animation 15:13 - Fixed Transmission Sounds 18:14 - Xbox Delayed & More 21:06 - Patch Notes 26:20 - Live Event 28:06 - Solar Pass 28:43 - Ranked Reward Car 29:09 - Pininfarina Battista Gameplay 32:34 - HKI Map Improvements 33:35 - Parking Lane Hologram Removed! 34:26 - Vehicle Balancing 34:57 - Final Thoughts
It’s more of the same but with a different take on it, the biggest change is the presentation like the main hq with the dealership actually looks like a interior you would find in tdu 1 and 2 and Ibiza has a colour palette that definitely gives it the tdu vibe Hong Kong island is missing. My biggest complaint is how the clothing stores don’t have interiors and still 90% of the stuff we had in Tdu2 is still missing. It is small step into the right direction I’m exited to see what they’ll do for season 3 if they don’t go bankrupt before that day arrives.
They should make it their top priority and hurry up because Motorfest is set to expand each year, Assetto Corsa Evo's TDU-sized open world map (which will borrow many ideas from TDU) is set to be available in the summer of '25, and Forza Horizon 6 is expected not too long after that. The only way for SC to survive the competition is to offer something none of their competitor does: a large mediterranean map and then, quickly, lifestyle elements (player homes, stores, tuner shops, paint shops, etc...).
I really hope they add the rest of the Ibiza map throughout the coming seasons, drove around the map earlier and it really feels like an actual test drive game. Need houses and offline mode too!
Alex7 you know I have been one of your biggest critic, you have hit the sweet spot with this video. I played this update using ps5 pro, I agree the Ibiza is a breath of fresh air. 1) beautiful graphics 2) Ibiza Costa radio station music very enjoyable 3) toned down Ai that doesn’t require me to be sweaty in a relaxing game. Alex, It now feels satisfying to just cruise around in my favorite fancy car and enjoy the scenery of Ibiza. I just wish there was a lot more to explore.
That dealership is perfectly sized, I hate how in the base game all of the dealerships are just huge empty cave to give it that “futuristic” look, even in Ibiza it’s way to futuristic however definitely better than the ones in the base game
Steering wheel animations is good. Feel like just clan races for Ibiza is abit light. They should have balanced out some cars instead of completely killing them and I’ve noticed performance issues on my pro that weren’t there before. But now this is out the way and season 3 is cancelled they can now focus on improving the game and hopefully listen to your and the community’s input
@gogofapo01 😂😂 What I mean is it should sound like a flat plane V8 not a cross plane V8, think more of a Ferrari 458 sound with a slightly different pitch
Alex I'm currently emailing kt racing paris about a noticeable fault come up in hong kong island. To fix the wipers in car view not wiping off pouring rain on windscreen it's no longer visible for driving or racing in heavy rain.
Ibiza map is amazing! Along with steering animation it's a top notch! It even forced my friend to play with me and we had a proper cruise, like in old TDU1-2 times! Before S2 he refused to play. I like new sound of R8 Spider and the fact money does not decrease after 4 races. New radio stations are amazing as well. The vibe is there! Ibiza map needs to be expanded for sure. Still there is a disappointment bcz they didn't fix misaligned steering wheels in more than 35 cars. MC20, Mito, Old GT40 have the worst examples. How was this ignored while they implemented steering animation... M4 sounded more realistic before the patch 2(not S2 but the patch). Now it sounds dull and too silent. Alpine A110 1973 and Merc AMG 65 are still a "silent hill" and can be barely heard when driving from the cockpit. SVJ sound is downgraded as well. Automatic hazard lights are still here - tons of feedback regarding this just ignored. Input lag is still here - if you hit keyboard button the steering wheel and pedals stops to respond and it takes few attempts pressing its buttons/pedals to make the game to see it again.
"tons of feedback regarding this just ignored." it isn't ignored, I personally sent all of that myself, because you mentioned and DM'd me, and these things take more time than you'd think with a dev size. The animation artist doesn't fix the vehicle artists work for example on the wheel alignment. You can't fix everything in 1 patch, but over time you'll see these things fixed/improved.
@@TheAlexVII I clearly understand how development works as I have some experience. Ofc things aren't gonna be fixed instantly. But Auto Hazard lights issue being ignored since the 1 beta, they had plenty of time to just change one line of the code from true to false.
I still think this is a rushed and a LAZY tdu game.. I mean the game miss alot of cutscenes for example, the only cutscene you get is down the elevator and when you buy a car. In tdu 2 when you traveled you got a cutscene you could actually walk in the airport and shit. This game only give you loading screens, there is no cutscenes when you drive out of your garage wich is sad that shows you how lazy the devs are the game lacks alot of cars and the textures are very old. They really need to update the graphics. I would call the console version a total scam thr fact that we still playing a racing game in 1080p is a joke every other tdu game was ahead of its time and brought something new to the table but this game does not and it is even missing alot from the other games. Season 2 is a good start in the right direction and the ibiza map makes hong kong look disgusting honestly. I wish hong kong was the dlc and ibiza was the main map
Season 2 is a good start but it’s too little too late. The main complaints people had are still In the game and unfortunately I think this game is at the point of being shut down very soon. Hopefully an offline mode comes before though
Lots of steps in the right direction! I really like the fact that there was an emphasis on immersion here (parking lanes gone woohoo!), but there's still quite a hike to go to make it feel like a true TDU game! The things that could make me buy it though would be : - Offline mode - Bigger and more interactive map (AC Evo should not be the one to lead in this area) - More PC optimisation - AI rework It has a lot of potential imo, great handling, fantastic sounds, good visuals in some scenarios, a general atmosphere that isn't 1000% cringe like other arcade racing games... but there are issues that just can't be overlooked sadly.
I can’t stand how much people love to hate on this game despite the developers really trying to make an effort to bring tdu back to what it was. the ibiza map is beautiful and i hope they expand it in the future
They need to bring the entire map asap. This generation has the technologies & AI to help them. We dont need ultra rendered houses..just bring back open roads, open "big" maps.
@@BA-so3mx AI in development isn't a good idea because of how non reliable it is. Also, Ibiza outside of the city isn't as interesting as HKI or so. And giving the entire map "ASAP" is probably the worst because it will be rushed and in very bad quality
@@gogofapo01 ASAP means as soon as possible in a good looking way, not trashed. And i fully disagree, no one cares driving in a big city, we want nature, big stretched roads exactly like TDU 1 & 2, i played both for over 3000 hours its been an amazing experience, i just dont get why they dont follow the DNA & route both games were taking. Thats why the game is failing now, the true players didnt come back and bought it because its just not "it". I'm one of them, if they fix that then ok
Probably the only person who feels this way but I'm quite pissed off that the gear whine has been removed. For the logical thinker, the final tier parts would likely be race level equipment ie the gearbox. So the sound makes actual sense. Thanks, I enjoy my near 3k 918 sounding muffled now and my 2k veyron sounds ehh. The option should be here instead of forcing things on people.
The issue is that stock cars that don’t have straight cut gears, have transmission whine, which makes 0 sense because why would there be a straight cut gear transmission in the many stock cars in the game. As I said in the video, with parts upgraded it should be there yes.
@TheAlexVII this is true, but could you relay to them to bring it back for the later tier of parts? I would hate for the turbo sounds to be nerfed next because it's not realistic 🤫. Good video and I'm just nitpicking, thanks for the response 👍🏾.
@@theprophet2011 of course, thats why I said it should still be there for the Apollo IE and other stock cars or if you upgrade your vehicle! :) turbos are safe, I promise haha
@@theSmolniy it should be applied to upgrades I agree, but there's no reason I should hear straight cut gears in a stock vehicle MC20 lmao. If I upgrade it? Yes of course I wanna hear it
The Apollo ie needs that high-pitched Ferrari sound like irl considering that it has a derived Ferrari f12 v12. Hopefully, that'll be fixed next update, and maybe get Pagani and the Lexus lfa 🤞
Before everyone rushes to configure 900 degree steering in game, you might want to double check the rotation limit in your real car. My Audi is around 540 degrees. I just hope they get the speed sensitive steering accurate for doing 3 point turns vs a simple 90 turn into a side street.
Back in 2007 when TDU was released on the PC I found a list of many cars, modern and old, with characteristics including steering wheel rotation. I have long since lost it, but iirc it came from the Road & Track magazine. Maybe that data can still be found on their website and compiled into a doc file.
My slow ass never bought a 812 Stupidfast, literally the only reason I would have bought one was for that hilarious power figure. At least now it seems like I can just buy the cars I want to race
Just for those on ps5 pro. Although there are no specific pro settings (performance HDR mode). There are some really Forbidden west level graphics in this Ibiza update.
Alex do you know if they have changed something in graphics? Because in Ps5 I have seen a big difference than before. Cars, trees all seem great. In tunnel cars coming from the opposite direction have different flashing lights. Moreover it’s easier now to reach FRIM lvl 10, because cars have stopped respawn in front of you, or change lanes all the time. The handling also feel a little different, especially in Taycan which is a bit slower now.
I know how hard it is to do the entire world, but they should try to do the entire world for one of their new games. I know how many terabytes it will take up, but what if you can actually shorten the size without reducing quality
Can anyone confirm how many districts are currently there in Eivissa? When entering a new district, I swore it said any number/10, but I can only highlight 5 or 6 districts. Maybe the map will be expanded a little later? The play area barriers are a little weird.
Hi Alex, I wanted to play on my moza r5 url, but I had a problem, I can’t set the degree value to more than 360, for some reason this item is not available for change. Have you encountered such a problem?
had a bit of fun cruising around it, it looks really nice as well. definitely prefer the mediterranean vibes to those of hong kong, i do hope they expand the map as we can see and drive a little bit outside of the playable area so i don’t see a reason not to, however there is a good chunk there. i’m trying to avoid putting it on my C drive though lol as i don’t have any space for it nor do i want to move anything on there to other drives. it’s on an external SSD though but still runs a bit choppy at times
Hi i want to ask something. Im playing from ps5 with g29 steering wheel does the clutch work for you on the gear shift in manual cars with clutch? (for example VW Beatle).
I feel like this game won’t be fully ready until like year 2-3 hopefully by that time people are still interested. If you compare to games like the crew 2 when it first came out it wasn’t fully polished it wasn’t until more people played the game and as it grew that’s when it all came together from graphics to car physics etc. once they add houses plus garage space it will get better. IMO
my ffb stopped working after the last update. I'm hoping season 2 fixed it I was in a que for over a hour last night before I didn't feel like driving anymore. try again today
Ibiza should’ve been the map from day 1 and they could’ve added Hong Kong as a dlc map but why go away from the TDU original roots is crazy. They also need to update graphics and get more modern day cars from over the last 5 years as well. If the wanna compete with other games. Like add Ferrari spider f8 or sf90 or Porsche gtr etc and make the pricing of the cars more obtainable I seen that a lambo for 6mil is crazy lol
not gonna lie i came here to talk shxt! but the small things like hearing the other players radio while passing is looking fire and real and new map hub is looking very fire!
Am i tripping or are you driving on the right hand side of the road in Ibiza AND HONG KONG?? Please tell me we're nonlonger forced to drive on left hand side .... i was waiting for steering wheel fix and they fixed more than that i love it
It should be there for upgraded vehicles and cars that have straight cut gears, but a stock m4 should not have that sound or any car that doesn’t have straight cut gears stock
The game is functional, but some things are unfinished or poorly implemented. Steering Wheel Animation: - Re-centering the steering is overly stiff and unnatural. I think it makes the whole thing look odd. - Driving straight animation feels too rigid and doesn’t reflect road imperfections. - When one hand hovers over the wheel instead of gripping it, it looks bad. Controller Vibration: - Lacks engine vibration feedback when near the rev limit. - Minimal tire feedback while cornering unless drifting. BUT I think I'm getting used to it now. Graphics and Performance Issues: - Sometimes fails to detect the 4060 as a 4000 series card, affecting frame generation toggling. - Shadows look terrible, and reflections are rendered as large blurry pixels. Cut Scenes: - The first cut scene and main menu appears stretched on a 32:9 super ultrawide display. - Other cut scenes display correctly. Nissan 370z driving Issue: - Experiences rev hang at 4000 RPM for a few seconds in 2nd and 3rd gears. Behaves as if the clutch is slipping, likely not an intended design. Networking : - The other players appear to jitter when driving, I think this is due to missing packets but maybe they need to calibrate the refresh of other players and to have wider margins in case of packet loss. Positives: - Overall handling is so much fun. - The map, even HK island is just amazing.
We Really Need more street cars Like some old and new Bmw model, Audi,Mercedes maybe. More classic Jdm car R35 sounds great but we need Those R32 R33 r34 that game as potential and they need to open server crossplay... Please TdU Sc Dont Die ...
Everybody should have gotten the purina furina with how messed up the game has been! As far as the new solar pass is concerned you have to get 900,000 xp to get the lambo and that is crazy!
Looks great! Good video Alex. The new island and the update kinda redeemed their project and I still have hope it will get better in the next updates! Totally agree with you I still have not gotten the game until they make it a true TDU!
The gameplay and quality of life aspects of the game can definitely be improved over time, but I'm still refraining from buying this game unless/until they sort out their server structure with its harsh region locking and empty lobbies.
I don't understand why the game gets so much flak like i get how much of the dna is missing but what most of these reviewers besides alex id say is thats its being made by a AA studio that made nothing but rally games for the past few years honestly for the jump they did im impressed yeah its got issues but i expected that given their history
That's a stupid excuse. Small studio or not. If you buy a well-known IP, you have to deal with the expectations of the fans. Nobody wanted this stupid PVP competitive system except the developers. The criticism is justified.
@benn87 perfectly said. They meat ride this game in hopes it'll become good but it was built wrong so it's near impossible to fix everything wrong. It's a corporate shill of a game compared to the previous games.
Im aware of that honestly them using the tdu branding was definitely a bad idea but u guys are acting like the games never gonna get fixed it will u want a good example go look at cyberpunk b4 and after im gonna try to give it a few years to see if they pull it off of course most of the negativity is just gonna be like nah fuck that and jump ship thats fine
Ppl not even giving the game a chance and ditching is what causes problems, and u saying that is basically saying nah these devs are trash and this game should have never existed that's why xdefiant died
Stock cars had a straight cut gears transmission whine which makes no sense. Cars like the stock Apollo IE and Vulcan have it, but a stock BMW M4 and other vehicles should not
To be honest the time to test drive a car to see if its good or worth it. Is still too short, should be like 5-10 minutes drive so you can test all different sort of roads. Compared to real life, 2 minutes is nothing.
I think they stuck to 2 minutes because that's the same as the previous games. But I definitely agree I often find myself going for 2 test drives because 2 minutes you can't really find out much
Really enjoying SZN 2 and excited for more going forward. I and my friends notice quality of life improvements and thats what we need each season. Patiently waiting for many more cars, For example more variants of 911, 08 BMW M3, 08 Gallardo etc etc. More customization, rim and tire size options, bodykits, exhaust systems etc. Just a few pointers but all in all im satisfied from the jump from SZN 1 to SZN 2, KT and Nacon are listening. P.S Expand Ibazi map in the future and crank up the volume for cockpit view for the cars. The hellcat, Pista and GTR for example are extremely low with engine sound in cockpit view. They should SCREAM
Bro the fact some of yall are still defending these people is wild! They gave us "compensation" and it's literally the worst car in the game and they made it worse because it's cc! The solar pass has the same exact paint as last season! All the good cars are nerfed! They raised the sp xp and lowered the xp from wins! Most of all they said we were getting Ibiza, we got 1/16th of Ibiza and we got what 2 new cars? The other cars are still trash!!! 😂 oh yeah they still have exclusive pvp cars when pvp isn't even close to working, and they also canceled season 3 so 100 days of nothing! These devs have ruined test drive! This game isn't gonna be playable or fun anytime soon! Who wants stickers!!!
I feel like the masses have moved on from this game. So it's basically 'dead' in terms of people buying and playing it. Even if it slowly gets better, i just dont see people coming back. Leaving just the niche tdu fans playing the game
If they keep adding more maps to the one game they have a decent chance of a comeback I think because nobody else is doing that, it’s a big bearer of FH Crew etc when you lose a good map in the next game for a lot of people
Ibiza should’ve been the map from day 1 and they could’ve added Hong Kong as a dlc map but why go away from the TDU original roots is crazy.

i love how small and quaint the ibiza dealership is....instead of a giant empty space...feels way more tdu based
I think they should add more parts to ibiza throughout the seasons till we get the full map because having ibiza feels much more like tdu
I don’t think they will add parts seasonally but I think a yearly expansion would be possible
Ibiza give me the tdu vibe 👍🏼
They should make it their top priority and hurry up because Motorfest is set to expand each year, Assetto Corsa Evo's TDU-sized open world map (which will borrow many ideas from TDU) is set to be available in the summer of '25, and Forza Horizon 6 is expected not too long after that.
The only way for SC to survive the competition is to offer something none of their competitor does: a large mediterranean map and then, quickly, lifestyle elements (player homes, stores, tuner shops, paint shops, etc...).
During maintenance, let us freeroam in any car with no time limits, then you turn maintenance into something players look forward to.
I really hope they add the rest of the Ibiza map throughout the coming seasons, drove around the map earlier and it really feels like an actual test drive game. Need houses and offline mode too!
Exactly, since the launch of this game, this is the first time I really feel like I was playing TDU

This game needs crazy taxi style missions.
Wish they would update the Porsche 918 sound so it doesn't sound like a Mustang 😂
If your Mustang sounds like the current 918, your Mustang got issues lol
@gogofapo01 😂😂 What I mean is it should sound like a flat plane V8 not a cross plane V8, think more of a Ferrari 458 sound with a slightly different pitch
@SupercarVideosHD Yeah dw I got what you mean ahah, must be higher pitch indeed

I can now drive on the right lane😍

Alex do you know if they have changed something in graphics? Because in Ps5 I have seen a big difference than before. Cars, trees all seem great. In tunnel cars coming from the opposite direction have different flashing lights. Moreover it’s easier now to reach FRIM lvl 10, because cars have stopped respawn in front of you, or change lanes all the time. The handling also feel a little different, especially in Taycan which is a bit slower now.
Really glad to see them fixing the transmission noise, did they fix the sound for the 918?
Not yet unfortunately
Release an unfinished game, I will buy it when it's finished
The Lotus Exige cup 380 no longer sounds like a hairdryer btw
Alex I've emailed tdusc kt racing they've fast replied they're onto fixing the windscreen rain issue
I know how hard it is to do the entire world, but they should try to do the entire world for one of their new games. I know how many terabytes it will take up, but what if you can actually shorten the size without reducing quality
I fucks with the game now idk what they did but I’m finally winning races and it’s nice to drive on the right side of the road
They should add a aeroplane cut scene between islands like tdu 2
Can anyone confirm how many districts are currently there in Eivissa? When entering a new district, I swore it said any number/10, but I can only highlight 5 or 6 districts. Maybe the map will be expanded a little later? The play area barriers are a little weird.
Hi Alex, I wanted to play on my moza r5 url, but I had a problem, I can’t set the degree value to more than 360, for some reason this item is not available for change. Have you encountered such a problem?
had a bit of fun cruising around it, it looks really nice as well. definitely prefer the mediterranean vibes to those of hong kong, i do hope they expand the map as we can see and drive a little bit outside of the playable area so i don’t see a reason not to, however there is a good chunk there. i’m trying to avoid putting it on my C drive though lol as i don’t have any space for it nor do i want to move anything on there to other drives. it’s on an external SSD though but still runs a bit choppy at times
What is the best car now? Evija?
Ranked races to be fixed is a must
When u racing the svj with TC on 3:40 😂 actually love the new engine sounds
Do you play it on 30 or 60 fps?
neither, I play at nearly 100
if they do cross platform and let u walk out to the stores and outside... it will be gta 6 before gta 6 and the will get more sales on game
Hi i want to ask something. Im playing from ps5 with g29 steering wheel does the clutch work for you on the gear shift in manual cars with clutch? (for example VW Beatle).
so jealous of that R8 Spyder...
I wanted to try this but got stuck in a que that was moving wayyy to slow!
idem 😢
Parking lane Holo is gone!!!! RIIICEEE
Damn, this game is pretty when you don't have to run it at all-low settings to get a playable framerate.
I was mad to see auto hazard lights still a thing.
I feel like this game won’t be fully ready until like year 2-3 hopefully by that time people are still interested. If you compare to games like the crew 2 when it first came out it wasn’t fully polished it wasn’t until more people played the game and as it grew that’s when it all came together from graphics to car physics etc. once they add houses plus garage space it will get better. IMO
Did they removed the difficulty levels or it's a bug ?? When I do races only the names appears not the difficulty levels. That's weird.
my ffb stopped working after the last update. I'm hoping season 2 fixed it
I was in a que for over a hour last night before I didn't feel like driving anymore. try again today
Yoooo does anyone else's mirrors not work on PS5 wtf happened it got worse
Listen to the video :)
Ibiza should’ve been the map from day 1 and they could’ve added Hong Kong as a dlc map but why go away from the TDU original roots is crazy. They also need to update graphics and get more modern day cars from over the last 5 years as well. If the wanna compete with other games. Like add Ferrari spider f8 or sf90 or Porsche gtr etc and make the pricing of the cars more obtainable I seen that a lambo for 6mil is crazy lol
The steering animation happens after the car starts to turn, which is un sync, very weird
The R8 hp was 1300+ now it 700+
not gonna lie i came here to talk shxt! but the small things like hearing the other players radio while passing is looking fire and real and new map hub is looking very fire!
i think im gonna pull the trigger and buy....
Alex please tell kt to make the roof removable on the aventador xago
Although small, but they have made improvements. It really seems they tried to listen to the complaints and criticism of this game.
the battista will be purchasable in the future?
Yeah in Season 3
You earned my subscribe, great freaking video, bro.
Thank you!
Btw you should buy the 911R that thing is a rocket fully maxed out and it sounds goood
I still can't change paint colors, always gives a lobby error on PC still. Was hoping this update would fix it. Does anybody have solution?
Ibiza looks way better and got that TDU feeling more
I might buy the Abarth Selene edition. Saw it has RWD and it drifts pretty good stock
As soon as you upgrade it, better say goodbye to being able to drive in a straight line.
@ that sound fun!
I think they must add people on races
They should do the United States in its entirety, one to one ratio
I missed driving on the right side Hong Kong map is too tight
Am i tripping or are you driving on the right hand side of the road in Ibiza AND HONG KONG?? Please tell me we're nonlonger forced to drive on left hand side .... i was waiting for steering wheel fix and they fixed more than that i love it
Lmaooo no it’s still different
Haven't played this game in at least 2 months
I love how they say fixed to some of the cars, but they nerfed the shit out of some of them lol….
anyone else’s 918 now 1400 HP? has it been nerfed?
Need to fix frame rates for ps5 mirrors in cock pit view makes it unplayable in cock pit view
Ima lowkey miss the transmission whine 😢
It should be there for upgraded vehicles and cars that have straight cut gears, but a stock m4 should not have that sound or any car that doesn’t have straight cut gears stock
Trying to see what’s wrong with a game that gives so much freedom with the cars in a car game
Why does Alex game look so smooth
He has a very good PC. A 4090 I believe
Did they fix the reflections?
I noticed cubemaps have improved a little, but not entirely, so I won’t fill say they have been fixed
I’m on Xbox Series X and since yesterday’s update i can’t play the game. It won’t log in on the start screen. Does anyone have the same problem?!
The game is functional, but some things are unfinished or poorly implemented.
Steering Wheel Animation:
- Re-centering the steering is overly stiff and unnatural. I think it makes the whole thing look odd.
- Driving straight animation feels too rigid and doesn’t reflect road imperfections.
- When one hand hovers over the wheel instead of gripping it, it looks bad.
Controller Vibration:
- Lacks engine vibration feedback when near the rev limit.
- Minimal tire feedback while cornering unless drifting.
BUT I think I'm getting used to it now.
Graphics and Performance Issues:
- Sometimes fails to detect the 4060 as a 4000 series card, affecting frame generation toggling.
- Shadows look terrible, and reflections are rendered as large blurry pixels.
Cut Scenes:
- The first cut scene and main menu appears stretched on a 32:9 super ultrawide display.
- Other cut scenes display correctly.
Nissan 370z driving Issue:
- Experiences rev hang at 4000 RPM for a few seconds in 2nd and 3rd gears. Behaves as if the clutch is slipping, likely not an intended design.
Networking :
- The other players appear to jitter when driving, I think this is due to missing packets but maybe they need to calibrate the refresh of other players and to have wider margins in case of packet loss.
Positives:
- Overall handling is so much fun.
- The map, even HK island is just amazing.
We Really Need more street cars Like some old and new Bmw model, Audi,Mercedes maybe. More classic Jdm car R35 sounds great but we need Those R32 R33 r34 that game as potential and they need to open server crossplay... Please TdU Sc Dont Die ...
Everybody should have gotten the purina furina with how messed up the game has been! As far as the new solar pass is concerned you have to get 900,000 xp to get the lambo and that is crazy!
Looks great! Good video Alex. The new island and the update kinda redeemed their project and I still have hope it will get better in the next updates! Totally agree with you I still have not gotten the game until they make it a true TDU!
The gameplay and quality of life aspects of the game can definitely be improved over time, but I'm still refraining from buying this game unless/until they sort out their server structure with its harsh region locking and empty lobbies.
I loved Ibiza because as it is a smaller map you can see more players roaming around and it feels so good
Yeah I don’t think I’ve ever had more than 3 people in a race and it’s generally one other if lucky
I don't understand why the game gets so much flak like i get how much of the dna is missing but what most of these reviewers besides alex id say is thats its being made by a AA studio that made nothing but rally games for the past few years honestly for the jump they did im impressed yeah its got issues but i expected that given their history
That's a stupid excuse. Small studio or not. If you buy a well-known IP, you have to deal with the expectations of the fans. Nobody wanted this stupid PVP competitive system except the developers. The criticism is justified.
@benn87 perfectly said. They meat ride this game in hopes it'll become good but it was built wrong so it's near impossible to fix everything wrong. It's a corporate shill of a game compared to the previous games.
Im aware of that honestly them using the tdu branding was definitely a bad idea but u guys are acting like the games never gonna get fixed it will u want a good example go look at cyberpunk b4 and after im gonna try to give it a few years to see if they pull it off of course most of the negativity is just gonna be like nah fuck that and jump ship thats fine
Ppl not even giving the game a chance and ditching is what causes problems, and u saying that is basically saying nah these devs are trash and this game should have never existed that's why xdefiant died
Clothing just another screw up how about they charge it to realistic prices what a joke of a game
3rd person reminds me of Assetto corsa :O
Overall I am Loving it 8/10
Does it still
Look crap on ps5?
No Harrrrrriba radio yet?
Ibiza is much better than Hong Kong island . It’s sad the map is so small
I literally dont know about which "transmission whine" are you talking about lol
Stock cars had a straight cut gears transmission whine which makes no sense. Cars like the stock Apollo IE and Vulcan have it, but a stock BMW M4 and other vehicles should not
Maui is what we want ;)
To be honest the time to test drive a car to see if its good or worth it. Is still too short, should be like 5-10 minutes drive so you can test all different sort of roads. Compared to real life, 2 minutes is nothing.
I think they stuck to 2 minutes because that's the same as the previous games. But I definitely agree I often find myself going for 2 test drives because 2 minutes you can't really find out much
Really enjoying SZN 2 and excited for more going forward. I and my friends notice quality of life improvements and thats what we need each season. Patiently waiting for many more cars,
For example more variants of 911, 08 BMW M3, 08 Gallardo etc etc. More customization, rim and tire size options, bodykits, exhaust systems etc. Just a few pointers but all in all im satisfied from the jump from SZN 1 to SZN 2, KT and Nacon are listening.
P.S Expand Ibazi map in the future and crank up the volume for cockpit view for the cars. The hellcat, Pista and GTR for example are extremely low with engine sound in cockpit view. They should SCREAM
Bro the fact some of yall are still defending these people is wild! They gave us "compensation" and it's literally the worst car in the game and they made it worse because it's cc! The solar pass has the same exact paint as last season! All the good cars are nerfed! They raised the sp xp and lowered the xp from wins! Most of all they said we were getting Ibiza, we got 1/16th of Ibiza and we got what 2 new cars? The other cars are still trash!!! 😂 oh yeah they still have exclusive pvp cars when pvp isn't even close to working, and they also canceled season 3 so 100 days of nothing! These devs have ruined test drive! This game isn't gonna be playable or fun anytime soon! Who wants stickers!!!
The compensation car is actually quite competitive
This whole game free yet?...
Please stop supporting these pre alpha games released as full-fledged games, it makes more and more devices do the same
Can you at least buy houses? Or naaaa
only a hotel with 4 rooms at the moment, you get upgrades as you progress. house update is y2
I feel like the masses have moved on from this game. So it's basically 'dead' in terms of people buying and playing it. Even if it slowly gets better, i just dont see people coming back. Leaving just the niche tdu fans playing the game
If they keep adding more maps to the one game they have a decent chance of a comeback I think because nobody else is doing that, it’s a big bearer of FH Crew etc when you lose a good map in the next game for a lot of people
Still a. Boring game
Ibiza should’ve been the map from day 1 and they could’ve added Hong Kong as a dlc map but why go away from the TDU original roots is crazy. They also need to update graphics and get more modern day cars from over the last 5 years as well. If the wanna compete with other games.
