this game just drove me crazy. i played all night last night reached level 20 and unlocked all the cars. just for me to log back in today and i have to start the game from the begining it somehow deleted my progress!!!! Annoying AF!!!!. a complete waste of time and money this rubbish
Shiii thank god I didn’t waste my money I was very hesitant on wasting my last $70 a week before to get inside before everyone but gladly I wasn’t ! I’ll maybe wait til it’s on sale ;) the crew is on sale now $30! May as well lol
TDU Solar Crown got a 5/10 from IGN. In perspective, NFS Hot Pursuit Remastered got an 8/10 on IGN. A remastered game from 2010 got a higher rating than TDU Solar Crown. It shows that the developers should have stuck with the core TDU features from the original games and modernized it for current generation consoles. Hong Kong is a beautiful location, it just needs some refinements in graphics, not to mention fix their online servers and add an offline mode.
Only thing keeping me on this game is the driving experience. It feels amazing on my Logitech G Pro. Dirt roads are awesome. Basically wider rally roads. Im content to just daily drive the game to unwind after work and listen to a v8 rev
I see you have used cockpit view with Maserati, Ford GT, so pls take a look to see how misaligned the steering wheel of these cars. Not centered well. This issue for many other cars too. If you can be vocal about it, this would be awesome. I've made a report called "Car models, cockpit mesh - steering wheels not centered, misaligned". Anyone, who care about the quality of the cockpits pls contribute.
7:24 Watching this after getting back from a let’s just say “spirited” drive in my 11th Gen Civic Si and feeling what he meant when you have so much grip you have when just sending it in a front wheel drive, even more in one that as a fancy dancy limited slip differential. I finally understand the driving a slow car fast is more fun than a fast car slow.
@@falcongamer58 the game was delayed for 2 years after the "initial release date" and still turned out to be an absolute shitshow. There is a very small chance they can save the game, but, with this type of communication and progress i honestly think it's near impossible.
@@dylanmijer2890 That I know. It's just that GTA 5 also doesn't have an animation for stepping on the pedals. Hence why I compared the two. I could've said forza, but GTA 5 came to mind first.
Until this game doesn't get an offline patch I don't think it's worth buying for me, not after what they did to the crew, glad I can enjoy watching you play it tho lmao
Man those AI racers in the super car class are something else literally hit corners at 160 mph no problem but god forbid you try to make a turn in a corner at slow speeds cuz u flying off the road😭
Am i the only one that has fun just driving around, the longer i play it the better i find it.. sure theres alot that needs optimizing but im having fun just having a new map to cruise around in
i drive a sonic hatchback and it is by far more fun as a daily than most other cars ive driven. and for the love of all things drive on the correct side of the road that drives me crazy every test drive video so far! lol
The whole thing of locking cars behind levels is ridiculous if there is also money in the game. Levels exist as an abstraction of experience, but only Ferrari prohibits you from buying their cars because of arbitrary limits. As we've seen, you can afford Aston Martins, and they're happy to gift you a presently-useless Maserati and SLS, but you can't use them in races yet, so why prevent people from buying a Caterham if they want and can afford it? But wouldn't it be hilarious if the Ferraris were sealed away behind the real-world Ferrari gatekeeping? "Oh no, we can't possibly even consider selling you a LaFerrari until you've bought and owned at least two other Ferraris for a year each...and you can't paint it pink or alter the logo...now, maybe I can interest sir in a nice new Purosangue to start you off?"
Didn't think that I'd actually play this game as much as I have today. I've enjoyed just driving around, unlocking roads, finding coins and car wrecks. Only done a handful of races and I'm almost level 14 now. The Alpine A110 is my favourite car with all it's DSG fart noises.
this feels like just another racing game witht terrible servers, optimization and a dead map, and definitely not a tdu game. also the player count for the game is very disappointing, i'm sorry but this game cannot wait another 2 weeks for that patch
You need to explore more of the map for each percentage you discover you get xp from it so just from driving around you can get to level 35ish then you will have lots more races available
Iam just glad i dnt pre ordered this was going to but star wars outlaws was getting released a week before tdusc plus ive got motorfeast which is 10 x more playable than solar crown 🙂
I'm playing on ps5 in the UK and I've only been able to play one race since launch! I keep getting server error!! It's a shame because I like the feel of the driving! But 1 race isn't great.
What are you playing the game on? I have the game for my pc & high-end specs & it runs horrible. It is not playable. Constant stuttering & tearing. I've tried 1080, 2k, 4k. And it runs horrible no matter what I do. Your gameplay here looks great. If you're playing on PS5 then I may have to buy it on the PS5 as well. Hope you see this comment please.
He made a video about it before. At the moment you cant own multiple houses and garages. The main building/apartment is what you get if im not mistaken
Honestly, whenever I hear a really "great sounding" car irl, I always think "what an asshole". I think the local Mustang owner removed his muffler. Wait you pay 5000 and only get 1500 for it? Something seriously off about that. Honestly, I fucking despise buy-in fees in virtual racers. I know they're popular, but just let us race, damn it. Irl a sponsor would handle that so I don't have to. And if all the NPCs are expected to buy in, shouldn't all of that make for a much bigger pot? Either it's a legit event with sponsors, or the fees are just a kind of bet in an illegal enterprise, in addition to all side bets. Either way is fine with me, but this here shit is plain nuts. Still getting the game when it comes out. I mean I'm not bonkers. It looks pretty decent.
I love people are still trying to 'enjoy' this game. Lets keep paying the devs money and normalize dogshit game releases. This one is for the trash. If it came out 10 years ago it might be impressive.
I wanna play this game so much but it lags like i have 5fps .and its not my pc cause i have games that are harder to run and run them easily so their servers lag so muuuuuuccchhhh.i cant do this no more .i wanna play this shit game
I hate the graphic look of TDU SC on console (PS5). I had expected a graphical look like it is on PC (4090 videocard) right now. On PS5 the game graphics looks sooo UGLY and brings me back to PS2/PS3. This game is a disappointment in 2024.
the game is absolute trash compared to forza and other games, no depth, shit graphics, server problems (ok forza had it too), no customization, no tdu feeling like part 1 and 2, no houses, even 40% of the sounds are terrible or just doesn't rev as high as in real life, weird handling, even with high end pcs the performance is horrible... so what exactly makes this game better than other titles?
There's absolutely no question that the game had the potential to be better than Forza Horizon if it had stayed true to the formula of the last two games. But that didn't happen.
You’ve been my source of solar crown and I appreciate how honest you’ve been. Thanks man
@BlackPanthaa here's a sugestion: since TDUSC doesn't work properly, how about doing a let's play of the old TDU games? Would love to watch those!
this game just drove me crazy. i played all night last night reached level 20 and unlocked all the cars. just for me to log back in today and i have to start the game from the begining it somehow deleted my progress!!!! Annoying AF!!!!. a complete waste of time and money this rubbish
Damn thats painful, i don't know why game has online DRM if even in progress saving it has this kind of problems, thats ridiculous
Sounds like hell💀

That sucks. Did you play it on another console? I've read that the online save is linked to your consoles IP
Nope I'm on pc. Already uninstalled and waiting for my refund. I'm not going to even bother

Dirt roads are awesome. Basically wider rally roads.
Im content to just daily drive the game to unwind after work and listen to a v8 rev
Not being able to paint the car and having to use the livery editor for 30,000 is crazy
Why oh why don't games where you can buy cars let you configure the car (colour, optional parts) when you buy it?
I glad to hear BP appreciate the absolutely amazing amount of the detail with the sound FX
British Petroleum?
A left-hand-drive Caterham feels wrong 😂

You do know in real life you are off centre to the steering wheel of most cars ever so slightly and some more obvious than others…

As if they'll even be players left when season starts in 2 weeks
i honestly doubt it, it's a sad fate for the game.
The bosses will pocket the money while the devs will be laid off
They just needed to beta test it this summer then delay game one more year to polish and add content. It would be so much better…

I was keeping an eye on the feet in the cockpit view. They're not actually pressing down the pedals. It's GTA 5 all over again.
I’m just happy to see we can see the hands actually shift the old version was only a glance maybe next time the feet will move lol

At level 50 in clan you start getting the good rewards from orange crates just sayin
Man those AI racers in the super car class are something else literally hit corners at 160 mph no problem but god forbid you try to make a turn in a corner at slow speeds cuz u flying off the road😭
Tell me about it i literally made a video on it XD
Hell yea😂 812 going Superfast around them corners🤣🤣
It's just dosnt feel like test drive yet I'm willing to wait but not there yet
Am i the only one that has fun just driving around, the longer i play it the better i find it.. sure theres alot that needs optimizing but im having fun just having a new map to cruise around in
I just now saw I wasn’t subscribed! How silly your videos are amazing been watching since NFS-HEAT🔥
Just get a taycan turismo for your touring car races, I put upgrades into the sls and it just didn't get much better
i drive a sonic hatchback and it is by far more fun as a daily than most other cars ive driven. and for the love of all things drive on the correct side of the road that drives me crazy every test drive video so far! lol
The R8 vert is cracked L.15 upgrade parts bring it to 1060 hp XD
About FWD hatchbacks: My fiat Punto evo easily slides if you want it to
5:40 yeh totally true cos I had a neighbour once who had like a early 90s Ford Fiesta rs turbo n I was so scared to sit in it cos how fast it was
whats the point of the club "streets" without having car customization?
Apparently the developers thought of you when they added the Audi R8 Black Panther 😂

I found quite a few dealerships and petrol stations every night I go on this game. I have to drive to them again. I hope they fix this.

So this is your signature car
So many steps back from the OG Test Drive Unlimited game. Its sad this is where we are in gaming and its 2024....

also the player count for the game is very disappointing, i'm sorry but this game cannot wait another 2 weeks for that patch
Dude is religiously on the wrong side of the road lol
I find the SLS is a bit of a pig in TDU. At least until you get the tire upgrades.
You need to explore more of the map for each percentage you discover you get xp from it so just from driving around you can get to level 35ish then you will have lots more races available
I'm like level 27. Unlocked almost 50% of the roads yet EVERY TIME I LOG BACK IN ALL THE GAS STATIONS, DEALERS, AND WORKSHOPS ARE LOCKED AGAIN. WHY.
Wait - what have I been playing then? O and there is an R34 at the Japanese Dealer at the bottom of the map
If carx goes on console and the crew releases in a new city along with forza this game is absolutely cooked😂😂.
Oh yea GTA is coming too
Bro at 8:38 you literally answered my question about driving on the wrong side 🤣👐
What are the odds..
Same 😂
Panths should have bought the Mini GP, but i guess he didn't!
There is a skyline R 34 is in the game bottom left you have to open up Asian cars
perfect timing
They have an audi named after you 😮
British Cars, RHD Location but lets include LHD variants HMMMMMM
Save some money for when you open the Asian garage to buy a gtr
It’s a waste of money when I guarantee they will add an updated one
@@sneakworldconsidering the devs and the franchise's heavy bias towards European Exotics, I doubt it will be the case

I'm playing on ps5 in the UK and I've only been able to play one race since launch! I keep getting server error!! It's a shame because I like the feel of the driving! But 1 race isn't great.
Plus since you can’t replay a race more than 4 times without it cutting your xp and money it’s probably not even worth it to play anymore.

It runs terrible for some and good for other. I’m one of those for who its also terrible and I don’t enjoy it at all anymore
I got scammed by these guys bought the silver pack and didn’t get any of the bonuses 😂
Look what they did to my boy
are they sure they got the point of a "test drive" game?
I want to buy this game but ite over priced and graphics should of been wayyyyy better
I have the game on PS5 and the graphics hurts my eyes; so damn UGLY you think you're on PS2/PS3...
no offline mode so not buying
The car sounds are lazy the gt mustang and the Shelby gt350 sound identical when they are two separate engines
16:10 That's what happens when you use the worst car, and not upgraded XD
test drive it's not working i Denmark 😒 so I left the game
That’s exactly how that car sounds🤦♂️
I mean its very simple. Just add houses and it would feel like a lifestyle game even with all these races. That and the casino
Houses are the least of this games worries
How about you Test drive unlimit solar crown your bmw 💀
Wait till you get to level 35 then progression gets real boring
How do i get those cars because i got to level 20 and i still dont have it
Buy an Audi TT bro and daily becomes fun.
Do you have a house and a garage like in the old days? Can you buy multiple houses? It would be good if you could shoot what we need to know.
He made a video about it before. At the moment you cant own multiple houses and garages. The main building/apartment is what you get if im not mistaken
Is there something I'm missing because every Car Game UA-camr drives on the wrong side of the road.
