Hello Scott, I'll comment about the game and your gameplay. Ok, first impressions: the graphics are cool. This is a demo, so I have a feeling the full game will be better. The cars don't really feel planted on the road, and the drift physics need to be addressed. They also need to add supercharger upgrades which will be useful for the muscle cars. Now on to your gameplay. Yes, the taxi actually disappeared. 😂 Nice driving, and I love the fact that you use the cockpit camera view from time to time for every car you drive. Keep it up! However, you have made a mistake which you made in Need For Speed Unbound and Forza Motorsport 8 by choosing a muscle car as your starter car. Always choose a Japanese or European car as your starter car and only choose an American car if they're the only starter cars you can choose from. Also avoid touching the AI difficulty to get a feeling for the physics while winning your first events (something that you MISSED in NFS Unbound with the Crown Vic). Keep up the great work!!!!!

They have an additional 3 months to continue polishing the game and this being a smaller version/demo it’s bound to have some issues. I can’t wait and think this looks way more fun than any other “racing” game released within the last few years
@@MagicAyrtonforever I was basing my comments on the multiple gameplays I’ve watched so far. Looks amazing to me and I’m staying positive that it will be incredibly fun nonetheless
This attempt at Hong Kong is pretty soulless, it hardly captures the vibe of the actual place even if it’s meant to be a somewhat fictional version of the real place. As someone who drives there irl it’s quite disappointing
Well handling in muscle cars are always on the difficult side, but that is what makes it a muscle, high speed, high acceleration, low handling, but yeah this game looks somewhat promising,
I entered the car/racing game genre since the start of the original crew. As great as that game was it had problems, too arcade-y being the proprietary one. Quite quickly got Forza and the physics in that game were unmatched hence ruining the arcade racing games for me. I was hoping for solar crown to be more simulation aimed than arcade-y ie more like Forza than the crew 2 and NFS.
@@kak8895 In the sense that when you are driving a RWD car, you clearly feel that the power goes to the rear wheels. And you feel the torque steer in a FWD car when you launch. Traction control has a noticeable effect. If you are in a car that’s supercharged or turbocharged you notice how that affects power delivery (admittedly the turbo noises are somewhat too over the top). With games from The Crew franchise or indeed NFS you don’t get these distinct attributes. I would like to reiterate that I played the original crew when it first came out and I loved that game (very upset with what they’ve done to it). But the driving physics are more realistic in Forza Horizon games and not arcade like as is the case with Crew and NFS.
An almost mirror clone of The Crew 1. 12:40. The roads are empty and very clean, as if polished. Puddles are just textures. I don't see anything new in it, except more or less unusual and interesting controls. I don't even understand where performance is being poured into it now, with any modern game you can say about it, “It was made 10 years ago.”
Tried it myself and ended up uninstalling. Keep getting server errors since it’s always online and couldn’t get it to look good in ultra settings while using an ultrawide. The handling is okay but it’s impossible to use true manual gearing. It’s always semi automatic with the car shifting when you want, often leading to double shifts when the car and I do it at the same time. It’s just not up to scratch. And that’s before you start talking about how most of the cars are 8-10 years old. They’ve got nothing new. But disappointment.
For the manual gearing, it's not in the option menu, but in the difficulty settings on the main menu. It gives you the choice between semi automatic (default), automatic and manual.
The real world location of the Italian cars dealership (or near it) actually has a number of car dealerships around it. Had, not sure if it still does.
Downloading now but not sure how well it will run on my old computer. Would be better if I could download demo on my PS5 instead which is where I will be purchasing it. Anyhow, if I'll just get some feel for the game at least then it's a good thing. More devs should do it like this and start adding demos again because it helps both the player and the devs right back through feedback. It's a win win.
People who complain about graphics are 10yo or younger. Ya’ll didn’t grow up playing NFS 2 and it shows…..this will be great on 244hz monitors and the map looks promising!
@@Issam-od4pg The last tdu was released 13 years ago. Surely we have advanced in game development since then. The fact theres literally 0 customization is dissapointing.
@@Supraifyification You know what came out around the same time as tdu 1? Need for speed underground 2. A game with a ton of customization. And how much of that did tdu 1 have? None. I loved it and i bet you did too because the game was never about the cars themselves it was about the lifestyle and the experience of exploring an enormous map online with other players.
@@Issam-od4pg Ironically enough this has literally zero "lifestyle" elements nor does it have an enormous map. This game literally has less things to do than the original almost 20 year old game. Everything is in one single hotel lobby and the map is miniscule.
@@Issam-od4pg You are wrong, TDU was about the cars. And the lifestyle. Besides, more customization doesnt mean neons, or big spoiler or anything like that. How about optioning carbon ceramics on certain cars? Or choose if you want a manual or automatic, and the car interior changing depending on your choice. Or how about selecting sports seats in certain models? Not to mention the numerous car tuning manufacturers catered towards rich people and their cars, like Gemballa, TechArt, Mansory or Novitec.
Looks like an og Ps4 game. Looks like The Crew the Steering is very bad for 2024 game overall i think i just might skip even if its a Demo. What they all need to change before the release its just not gone happen unless they delay it witch would sound better then releasing this tbh. We have Unreal Engine 5 rn this is what we are getting a 2020 game that looks just overall bad.
The engine sounds are better than Forza. But other than that, not sure, not havIng houses is a big mistake. Will finish the demo and then we ll see if it s a revisit later or not worth it at all.
I played a few hours of the beta, and I really hope the full game isn't like this when it releases. There were cars driving the wrong way into traffic, the steering animations were lacking and the game optimization was horrible. We waited 4 years for this?…
Im going for the Alpine as first car. Please do a review of gameplay with the steering wheel, really want to know if its any good and if you can change the settings like 360 and stuff. Thanks
So you can race AI and without online sinc we could have much denser traffic. Why not make a Play Solo mode? PvP should be an option. This will only hurt the game.
the demo has definitely let me down, back in my childhood days, demos were like a chunk of a final game. TDU SC isnt really a demo in my opinion, its more like a very early stage beta test.
I want this game to be good and to find its audience, but I'm getting a bad feeling about this. Handling, gearing, and engine noises all seem "off" somehow, like the physics of the car aren't translating to what my eyes and ears are perceiving. Idk man... time will tell... 1:1 Hong Kong Island is a nice hook so maybe that setting keeps things interesting. But this isn't getting my anticipation up tbh. Also, where are the Chinese native residents? Why does everyone sound like the most neutral sounding English? If this is Hong Kong, it should feel like stepping into HK culture. I'll cross my fingers nonetheless. Competition in the open world racing genre is always good, I just hope they bring something memorable and different from the Horizon / The Crew blueprint.
the story is The Solar Crown hired out the entire island for their series. but yeah it is a bit weird and a missed opportunity to incorporate hong kong culture
The graphics aren't ideal, but they are not bad. If this game offers a more true to life experience for wheel users, and nails all the other aspect of the TDU franchise then it will be a great product, but I don't have faith. And wont defend it if it fails.
They NEED to add idle sounds. It’s sooo deathly quiet. Also 360 wheel rotation animation
most cars are deathly quiet on idle even fast cars
The mustang has an idle sound. Headphones works best
rotation should depend on cars instead of 360 for everything

Quite quickly got Forza and the physics in that game were unmatched hence ruining the arcade racing games for me. I was hoping for solar crown to be more simulation aimed than arcade-y ie more like Forza than the crew 2 and NFS.
Same
What you mean? Horizon is also an arcade game.
@@kak8895 In the sense that when you are driving a RWD car, you clearly feel that the power goes to the rear wheels. And you feel the torque steer in a FWD car when you launch. Traction control has a noticeable effect. If you are in a car that’s supercharged or turbocharged you notice how that affects power delivery (admittedly the turbo noises are somewhat too over the top). With games from The Crew franchise or indeed NFS you don’t get these distinct attributes. I would like to reiterate that I played the original crew when it first came out and I loved that game (very upset with what they’ve done to it). But the driving physics are more realistic in Forza Horizon games and not arcade like as is the case with Crew and NFS.
An almost mirror clone of The Crew 1. 12:40. The roads are empty and very clean, as if polished. Puddles are just textures. I don't see anything new in it, except more or less unusual and interesting controls. I don't even understand where performance is being poured into it now, with any modern game you can say about it, “It was made 10 years ago.”
Pretty stoked for it. Can't wait to see everything & cruise around with the A team
watching Scott put a responsive turbo on a mustang that already got high torque instead of better shocks and brakes is crazy
it’s a scripted demo moment
Tbf it is the only thing you can do at that point 😂shocks and brakes unlock at level 10 as mentioned in the video
No pedestrians🤨 the map looks so dead
all of the starter cars are to modern for me.
I want a sh** box as a starter car….
hard to license shitbox cars for these sort of games because manufacturers don’t want their car to be the shitbox one
@@michaeljamesm haha true
Wtf have they been doing the last 4 years
4? Its been 13 years since TDU2 my guy...
@@corybucher6821 the game hasn’t been in development for 13 years use ur brain. Brain rot comment

@Michael27Romero13 years feels like eternity due to how long the time between these 2 TDU games.
Even the graphics of buildings in Forza Horzion 2 (xbox one) are better than this.
Tried it myself and ended up uninstalling. Keep getting server errors since it’s always online and couldn’t get it to look good in ultra settings while using an ultrawide.
The handling is okay but it’s impossible to use true manual gearing. It’s always semi automatic with the car shifting when you want, often leading to double shifts when the car and I do it at the same time.
It’s just not up to scratch. And that’s before you start talking about how most of the cars are 8-10 years old. They’ve got nothing new. But disappointment.
For the manual gearing, it's not in the option menu, but in the difficulty settings on the main menu. It gives you the choice between semi automatic (default), automatic and manual.
The real world location of the Italian cars dealership (or near it) actually has a number of car dealerships around it. Had, not sure if it still does.
Downloading now but not sure how well it will run on my old computer. Would be better if I could download demo on my PS5 instead which is where I will be purchasing it.
Anyhow, if I'll just get some feel for the game at least then it's a good thing. More devs should do it like this and start adding demos again because it helps both the player and the devs right back through feedback. It's a win win.
People who complain about graphics are 10yo or younger. Ya’ll didn’t grow up playing NFS 2 and it shows…..this will be great on 244hz monitors and the map looks promising!
demo or not it looks like a major let down!
Even though it might not be a top-tier racing game, I'm eager to get it solely for the relaxation and social hub it provides.
Can't wait for this game to come out
It’s online only ?
welcome to 2024
Not going to get it unless it goes on sale or they fix some stuff
why always freeroaming racing games has no people in the town only cars and cars
Looks a lot like an early ps4 game right now but I won't loose hope. I have waited about 12 years for it after all
Forza Horizon: how have you NOT added the "blinker/windows/wipers" ability yet??? lol get with the times man! TDU, LET'S GO!
This game better be a sim racer cmonnn who wants arcade in this day and AGE
It's not a sim unfortunately
Arcade is king m8
@@f.o.8547 if ur on controller m8, once you have a wheel theres no going back from sim
Reflections in the rearview mirror look like in the nfs most wanted 2005.
So we're in 2024 but game seems it came out in 2012?
Hardly test drive vibe..
So there’s only 3 cosmetic options you can change???
Just like every other tdu why so surprised
@@Issam-od4pg The last tdu was released 13 years ago. Surely we have advanced in game development since then. The fact theres literally 0 customization is dissapointing.
@@Supraifyification You know what came out around the same time as tdu 1? Need for speed underground 2. A game with a ton of customization. And how much of that did tdu 1 have? None. I loved it and i bet you did too because the game was never about the cars themselves it was about the lifestyle and the experience of exploring an enormous map online with other players.
@@Issam-od4pg Ironically enough this has literally zero "lifestyle" elements nor does it have an enormous map. This game literally has less things to do than the original almost 20 year old game. Everything is in one single hotel lobby and the map is miniscule.
@@Issam-od4pg You are wrong, TDU was about the cars. And the lifestyle. Besides, more customization doesnt mean neons, or big spoiler or anything like that. How about optioning carbon ceramics on certain cars? Or choose if you want a manual or automatic, and the car interior changing depending on your choice. Or how about selecting sports seats in certain models?
Not to mention the numerous car tuning manufacturers catered towards rich people and their cars, like Gemballa, TechArt, Mansory or Novitec.
There's no exterior customization (body kits etc.) 😢 also, the cars look like they're floating..
And it's always online?? No thanks.
Looks like an og Ps4 game. Looks like The Crew the Steering is very bad for 2024 game overall i think i just might skip even if its a Demo. What they all need to change before the release its just not gone happen unless they delay it witch would sound better then releasing this tbh. We have Unreal Engine 5 rn this is what we are getting a 2020 game that looks just overall bad.
The steering wheel should be on the right in Hong Kong, which would be great!
The engine sounds are better than Forza. But other than that, not sure, not havIng houses is a big mistake. Will finish the demo and then we ll see if it s a revisit later or not worth it at all.
Why does Vivian look like Miami Harris
Clicks a link, goes back to 1999 - and not in a good way.
Aww yeah. Let's go 🎉👏
They say we must not compare it to Forza but how can we not when it looks and feels so similar.
TDU SOLAR CROWN DEMO looks like Asphalt 8 but on PS5.
I played a few hours of the beta, and I really hope the full game isn't like this when it releases. There were cars driving the wrong way into traffic, the steering animations were lacking and the game optimization was horrible. We waited 4 years for this?…
Please do search for a wreck part. I'd really like to know what some of the wrecks are
Im going for the Alpine as first car. Please do a review of gameplay with the steering wheel, really want to know if its any good and if you can change the settings like 360 and stuff. Thanks
Damn, they did it! TDU 2 looks a lot more fun... how is that possible?
Passion...
THEY NEED TO MAKE IT OFFLINE. REMOVE THE ONLINE ONLY REQUIREMENT
it’s gonna be offline once support gets dropped in a year or two.
This game Is also played single player with a stable internet connection?
Looks like tdu2 mod 😅
Plays like it too. I give up with all hope gone..
I can't understand why the reflections aren't in real time.. TDU 2 from 2011 was..
So you can race AI and without online sinc we could have much denser traffic. Why not make a Play Solo mode? PvP should be an option. This will only hurt the game.
the demo has definitely let me down, back in my childhood days, demos were like a chunk of a final game. TDU SC isnt really a demo in my opinion, its more like a very early stage beta test.
Npcs are too scarce. They beed to increase them significantly
A game about driving stock cars with no customization but the cars spit flames?
The mustang idling sound is 🤌
This game needs at least few more years to be worked on a lot stuff to do here and fix
Outdated engine. Nfs heat looks better.
I hope you feel better soon Scott video awesome
This is not Test Drive.. This is Need for Speed: The Forza Crew
How does steering wheel feel? FFB? Thank you
looks like a game that came out 15 years too late.
I want this game to be good and to find its audience, but I'm getting a bad feeling about this. Handling, gearing, and engine noises all seem "off" somehow, like the physics of the car aren't translating to what my eyes and ears are perceiving. Idk man... time will tell... 1:1 Hong Kong Island is a nice hook so maybe that setting keeps things interesting. But this isn't getting my anticipation up tbh. Also, where are the Chinese native residents? Why does everyone sound like the most neutral sounding English? If this is Hong Kong, it should feel like stepping into HK culture. I'll cross my fingers nonetheless. Competition in the open world racing genre is always good, I just hope they bring something memorable and different from the Horizon / The Crew blueprint.
the story is The Solar Crown hired out the entire island for their series.
but yeah it is a bit weird and a missed opportunity to incorporate hong kong culture
The graphics aren't ideal, but they are not bad. If this game offers a more true to life experience for wheel users, and nails all the other aspect of the TDU franchise then it will be a great product, but I don't have faith. And wont defend it if it fails.
Why am i most curious about them "parking lane" neon sign things?
Nothing happens when you park there
Hopefully they polish a load of things before launch
