      The developers had 13 years, didn't even manage to deliver a decent beta and you already know what they want to bring as an expansion? Then no servers that can handle the onslaught! Even with a 4090 the game runs terribly poorly, it's a shame to deliver something like that. In 4K you have 40fps with a 4090, which is unacceptable!

      Based on what I played it has much more soul than Forza horizon 5. At least the cars are fun to drive around HK island in this one, and there is some progression.

The only reason you defend the indefensible is because like many modern gamers your standards have been conditioned to rock bottom levels. Because if you were truly a fan of the TDU franchise, you would be disgusted that they've pissed on it by turning it into a live-service, with content deliberately left out to charge extra for later, barely any concept cars, and constant lies about the beta and demo not being the final edition. A game worse that its predecessor 20 years before it.

    My 10 hour experience with TDU SC in PC, I just got to level 20. This is where the ranked races, Aberdeen and Grand Tourer (G) class races appear. The SLS AMG is a beauty. My current verdict is that while the Steering wheel FFB is pretty basic, what they got right is the map. It's a lot more engaging to race in Hong Kong than any open world simcades. Not only that, doing races earns you money and rep even on repeat, which means if you manage to invite a friend in to play and you'd race together, you also earn the benefits to your own account while they make progression. It's going to be a grind from this point on, but I'm happy to say it's quite a fascinating world to drive and explore, and I'll come back for more, hopefully worthy as a daily driving game.

      It could be worse tbh. In many ways this is better than TDU2. Physics are way better and car sounds are great. The map is way more detailed and it's just fun to cruise around because it feels more realistic. The feeling of owning a car and buying it from a dealership is still there.
      However, I feel like that's it. They got the core of it, but it's littered with performance issues, graphics bugs, other bugs, servers not working, always online. And features missing like houses, clubs, whatever. I guess we have the streets and sharps thing, but not sure if I like it or not.
      Anyway, because the core gameplay is so good, I have faith that they can turn this around into a great game by fixing those bugs and adding missing features. But they shouldn't be charging $50 - 100 for this unfinished game. I feel bad for the developers, I'm sure they could've nailed this if they had even just 6 months more time. But somehow Nacon had to rush it. But maybe they wanted to get it out before GTA 6. But that game will also be delayed for sure, because Rockstar won't release an unfinished game like this.

    Those are PS4 Pro graphics at best, and for those to run at 30 fps when maxed on a PS5 means to me that they completely maxed out their old PS4 era engine for this game. Yeah, in any other genre that would've been fine if the gameplay rocks, but racing games are graphics benchmarks, always have been, so that's an era where they have to shine the most on release. A lot of other reviewers share that sentiment, even casual guys just playing the game for fun instantly realize the subpar graphics. So you are not alone in this.

    Next gen yeh right ! Very few game devs have the financial muscle to develop a good game for multi platform yet they build up the hype and expectations that then fails to deliver. They call that misrepresentation and legally you can get your money back with any other product. I found out some years ago that the reason that doesn't apply to console video games is because the devs promise to fix issues by way of updates that in reality can't change a poor looking game into a good one, it's just the way it has been made. This is the reason i haven't bought into next gen gaming . Overall it isn't worth the expense !

The game is full of problems sure, and it's wild they're charging full price. But to me it looks like a perfect cruising game and the demo already convinced me that, despite its issues.
      I don't really understand what people expected if they looked at the beta or researched the game at all before buying, because you can see how the game looks and what features it has from those materials. I do understand that the actual trailers for the game try to create way too much hype so I'm some ways it's their own fault. Maybe they should've spent the money that they spent on marketing on the actual game.
      Im just happy this game exists. But I'm not buying it yet, I'll wait for the servers to be fixed at least.

    Yes, it has some issues especially with traffic AI and a certain "money imbalance", but it´s not all that bad and I really don´t mind the AI voice acting, it´s good enough. It runs on ultra on my RX 6600 @1080p, looks gorgeous too
    and the map is just plain better in comparison and you can see they really put alot of effort in it. It is not pvp focused, it´s playable offline, you don´t have progress through another of these stupid season passes etc etc etc... Solar Crown, I hate to say that, is NOT "the comeback of TDU" I had wished for.
