If the map was 10x larger I'd say the graphics are decent. 10 minutes to cross the map is a small map. The Crew had cross-map races that took 20-30 minutes.
It was probably developed for the Playstation 4 in mind.. they milk those old Consoles like crazy. Games like Hogwarts Legacy also had to run on those old Consoles. And with them using such old Hardware we never gonna get new and better Graphics and Visuals. I cant say it enough but Consoles are killing the Gaming market.

I used to love the original Test Drive Unlimited. It was pretty much the reason I bought an Xbox 360. I even bought my first steering wheel for that console too. Used to spend hours just cruising round Hawaii listening to tunes. Good times. Sadly it doesn't look like this game has progressed at all from that game. If anything, it's gone backwards!
Driving on wheel is actually very good on this. Also the car sounds are some of the I've heard in a game. It still has that old test drive explore progression to, to add to the fun drive. Im on pc and use wheel and maxed out the graphics are actually pretty decent.
As did I. My favorite missions were the "delivery" missions where you got a massive bonus for driving the car to the destination & taking absolutely no damage. It was always fun to see how fast you could push it while never making a mistake. I barely even remember races in that game. It was largely the side content, roaming, and getting into places you weren't supposed to be able to get to that was so much fun
Especially after what happened with the Crew, many of the very same audience they were trying to sell this new game to right after the other was killed off and the SKG movement started 😂 The TDUSC devs not only keeping but also defending always online DRM of this game was nothing short of complete buffoonery and a massive red flag. As a TDU 1 and 2 fan, I'm really glad I didn't waste my money on this.
They literally dealt with this same exact issue with the older games but were actually smart enough to make a offline story mode in case the online went wrong because of their inexperienced with a mmorpg and fast forward history repeats itself but this time they didn’t give it a offline storyline at all
Reviewers repeatedly praising the driving dynamics and thrashing everything else must be quite redeeming for certain departments/individuals inside the studio lmao
I just don't understand how you could possibly play this when something like Horizon exists. Like I know it's not the best racing game out there but compared to this it's miles better
I mean I bet everyone who would play this already plays Horizon. I was really hoping it would be like the older TDUs and put Horizon in its place by having a more immersive experience and better driving missions, but alas. Honestly if Forza just added house interiors, dealerships, and delivery missions it would be 90% of the way to an actually decent modern TDU.
Yes it is. On wheel the game feels very good, better then motorfest. Motorfest ihave 15h played on and plat trophy, tdu iam on 140h now and almost plat trophy, if i have plat on tdu i will still be playing it where iam not with motorfest
A bit of polish, an offline mode, and it might actually be quite fun! Rework the shaders a bit, add real estate, fix the economy, do some rebalancing on the cars - and REMOVE THE ALWAYS ONLINE REQUIREMENT. I might pick it up on sale, but not without a promise for an EoL offline update.

Hope your feeling better Steve! Love the new upload
the very first test drive unlimited was a milestone back then. realy enjoyed playing it, but when i see this crap.... no thanks
good to see you back Steve :D
Soulless, unoptimised, always online, little to no interesting side activities, the map is uninspired, animations and characters are stiff, graphics are subpar, yeah this is not really gonna blow us out of the water. Can’t believe the industry standards have been so low that this is deemed an acceptable product at launch by the devs.
hitting stuff slows you down... YEAH!
why does it look likes its from 1996
I see Nissan is still making the same car in the future lmao. They retconned the 400z lmao
More like Testical Drive Limited: Swollen Crown
Good to see you back Steve! Hope your feeling better 🙏
Nearly did a spit take at the 6th place finish in the first race lol

Mate 😂😂😂 This video is hilarious
Steve went to the Shadow Realm and lived to tell the tale, truly the GOAT
The avatar looks like a Star Trek: TNG 1st season villian/alien that you never see again in the entire 7 season run of the show.
