I hope they keep the houses, those fancy houses with a garage full of cars, give the game a special touch, that extra bit of immersion, and it would be nice if you could invite friends over to your house, I don't remember if It was possible to do this on TDU2.
Nop, it's so sad but the private houses will be replaced by rooms in the Solar tower, a huge hotel in Hong Kong. I hope they keep at least the car dealers, otherwise it would become a copy of The crew or Forza horizon. The "life simulation" aspect was the part that i liked most in the previous games of TDU...
The first TDU blew my mind when I began playing it way back in 2008. The size of the map is incredible, even by 2021 standards. A lot of other open world racers could learn a lesson or two from the developers at Eden.
I would have to disagree with you given that TDU didn't sell too good and the 2nd one was the final nail in the coffin for the devs so the creators out here now should steer clear of anything those games did and stick to what they know how to do that said I do have to agree that the map for TDU is insane and I hope that capture that with Solar Crown but I wouldn't get your hopes up with this game being a massive hit given racing games have been on a massive decline since the end of the PS2 days
Ngl this game was ahead of its time. Even for TDU2, the experience is unforgettable. With moving windows, working indicators, and such the details was amazing. Cannot wait for this one 😭
A few things that should be kept from TDU2: 1. The car classes (A4, C3, B4, A1, etc) 2. Community Racing Center (and weekly player challenges) and Challenge Editor 3. The car wash. 4. Licenses, and the championship style 5. Dealerships, tune shops, houses, clothes shops, and just the amount of lifestyle realism in general.
30sq miles is Tiny! Forza Horizon 4 is twice as big. Even GTAV is bigger. Cruising in TDU's 600sq mile map always felt fresh. It was all about exploration and cruising. A map this small will KILL TDU... This dude is Oblivious!
@@ScorpionF1RE_USA GTA4: 16.14km^2 ( or 6 Miles^2 ) FH4: 71km^2 ( or 27Miles^2) GTA5: 75.84km^2 (or 28 Miles^2) FH5: Aprox. 107km^2 (or 41 Miles^2) (Not confirmed/reported) TDU1: 1,545km^2 (or 596 Miles^2) TDU2: Aprox 2,000km^2 (700 Miles^2) The Crew 2: Aprox. 7,000km^2 (or 2,702 Miles^2) Video claims its a 1:1 scale with actual Hong Kong. The city itself is 78km^2 or roughly 30 Miles^2 IF they add the mainland like the video also teases (we have no idea) The map jumps up to aprox. 125km^2 or 48 Miles^2 which would make it slightly larger than FH5. But its already, with just Hong Kong city limits, would be larger than all of GTA5 Furthermore- FH4 and FH5 do not try to pretend their maps are on a 1:1 scale with anything. FH4 looks only remotely similar to actual Edinburgh and its significantly less city. Edinburgh in real life is 101Miles^2 , so just the city itself would engulf the entire map of FH4. Needless to say, FH4 did VERY well for itself despite not having a nearly as large of a map as say, The Crew 1 and 2.
The main reason TDU was so popular was its massive open world, cruising around in unique cars also. why on earth would you want to take away its main differentiator too other racing games??
@@ScorpionF1RE_USA imo its not just the tiny map, but nothing is more horrendous than city driving. I hate cities, theyre the worst thing ever and driving in them is just pure endless suffering.
@@lilyusi glad you asked, the fact that it will launch on a lot of consoles means that the game will be bottlenecked in order to cater to the less powerful machines
@@moe5346 that’s a good idea, but let’s say driving model (ima sim racing nerd) you can’t have two different tyre models for the two different consoles. that goes with the map, you can’t have two different versions for let’s say the switch or the pc. sure you can’t bump down the quality but there’s only so much you can do with that
@@spiyder we are talkin about tdu not assetto corsa… I am a sim racer myself bu this is more of a FH and The Crew type game so no need for ultra realistic calculations and stuff. It’s also not aiming for that so idk maybe you won’t like the game with those things in mind ?
I remember playing Test Drive on my PSP so much and I barely touch my Need for Speed games. I’m so ready to reignite my nostalgic by playing this on the Switch. Racing on the go just like my childhood.
Im in agreement with a few people here. It doesn't make sense to have a "before you buy" for a game that isn't releasing anytime soon. All we have is a teaser trailer and some scattered info. Maybe a more appropriate title would have been "reasons we are excited for Test Drive Solar Crown"
Yeah, sadly FH5 is for Xbox. TDU SC sounds amazing but we have no idea what it looks like, so I’m nervous. FH5 should be good if SC doesn’t hit he mark.
@BigShiftD FH5, aside from PC which I don’t play these games on, is an Xbox exclusive. Therefore, I can’t play FH5 on PlayStation when I get TDU: SC on the PS4
I agree. I'm waiting patiently for Gran Turismo 7. Yes, its track racing. But back in 2013 when Gran Turismo 6 came out you had public lobbys of drag race, drifting, car show, and roll racing...and so much more. I have hated and loved the Horizon series...Open world is nice and all but Forza always made it way too easy to get cars and money. Literally you could play for hours and literally get everything handed to you. You would get so many cars and be able to upgrade them to max out. I like a challenge. Think of NFS Underground 2. Or even Midnight Club Los Angeles. I want to work for my cars, money, and parts. That is what makes a good game. Maybe its me though?
@@Baker3939 , I honestly like it being easy to get money and vehicles. Gran Turismo is an overrated series and Enthusia Professional Racing, which, by the way, is a VERY underrated PS2 game, ironically did the one thing that Gran Turismo was supposed to do, which is make cars handle as they do in real life. Moreover, EPR also made the cars sound more like their real life counterparts, and they also had a MUCH better license earning system than Gran Turismo. Someone needs to combine the best aspects of the Midnight Club, Need for Speed, Burnout, Gran Turismo, Forza Horizon/Motorsport, and Test Drive Unlimited games and make them into one all new game.
I find it odd they chose Hong Kong for the location but I'll happily be surprised. I always wanted to see a game where you could race in Japan, maybe one day.
@tanked warthog, did you save every single vehicle on there, including the DLC ones? I would LOVE to get a copy of that game and someone that can share those things with me on my Xbox 360, please. Thanks.
@@paxhumana2015 I did have every car but the last dlc pack that came out corrupted my save file and it was unfortunately unrecoverable. I had the game 100% completed at the time when that pack came out 😪
is there any reference of the existence of more than one maps? is there going to be a damage model? how many cars (and/or bikes) are going to be included? visual upgrades?
I'm super excited to try out this game! 🔥 I'm liking the concept of this game although I never played a test drive game...but i wanna give this one a shot. I'm begging for them to add the Lamborghini Veneno.
this might look good actually! But also can get quite boring quick - Hong Kong island isn´t that big compared to Ibiza or Oahu... I wish they at least add a feature like previous game - flight from one island to another - aka make Oahu and Ibiza into the new installment next to the Hong Kong island...
Please universe, let this game be good. The sim arcade genre DESPERATELY needs this to be good. Somebody needs to give the Forza Horizon titles some competition. We are ready for it. We need this.
Its gonna be sick... I can't believe we have had to wait all this time just for something that even slightly resembles tdu2 the crew 2 was similar-ish but just left out all of the good things that made tdu2 like being able to use your indicators and winding your windows down not to mention the casino and the character and house customization, realistic open world driving games are pretty much all I want to play but are literally none existant in the gaming world its all full of rubbish and games copying each other or just re-skins of previous games so thank you to these guys for bringing it back and hopefully it doesn't disappoint. I can't wait.
I will get this and probably the gold edtion and hopfully on a PS5 they really should think about giving us a collection of the series from back in the day to the current ones and the same can be said for the out run series which should also try to make a comeback can’t wait for more info
If that happens, then all of the PC Platinum mods need to be redone so that they are legitimate added content to the game, and then apply all of the cars that are in Test Drive Unlimited 1 and 2 to Test Drive Unlimited (3): Solar Crown, plus leave room for more DLC vehicles, along with their interiors, and other things.
A dope open world racing game called classic legendary features every iconic legendary classic car with a massive open world like tdu would be the shit! Somebody make this please!
Forza Horizon was inspired by this game its so funny to see someone say “hopefully this game can keep up” when Forza Horizon took direct inspiration from this game. Some of the people that made this game worked on both the Crew and Crew 2 and GTA online took direct inspiration from Test Drive Unlimited. TDU was the first to have a real open world racing sim online with houses, cars and character customization in a video game. They even had police and swat team chase you like how GTA does like when you get a wanted level. TDU was the first game to do all this stuff in a open world setting it’s just that in 2006 the technology was no where near as powerful as it is now with PCs and consoles. PCs and Consoles now are able to support Ray tracing dynamic lighting and up 120fps or more this game was the originator of open world sim racing games
@@redhunnid5142 bro all of that is the past, tdu will have trouble keeping up with horizon especially since its available for pc now. being unbiased and realistic here, horizon is the bigger franchise atm
Tdu2 was THE game that got me into cars. I got tdu2 when I was 7 I’m 15 now and I was just playing it the other night on the old ps3 this game has the biggest place in my heart for video games and to see they’re making a new one after I thought the franchise ended I literally screamed i so cannot wait for this game
I bought a new PC just for the TDU first game and got the big map inside the box. The time when you needed to have CD-Rom and disc inside to play the game. I didnt buy the TDU 2 as it felt like DLC a new small island added to the game. As the first game DLC was pretty much rip off with few cars only and you needed to bay 10 bucks for it. Also what was annoying was that the DLC wasn't released world wide and was US release first and then they complained that dont buy the DLC from US cause it can make issues or something. Same with The Crew that i bought the first game as i tough and still think it's Test Drive game with just a new name i bought the first game and were upset with the expansions that cost too much for what they offered and especially as i bought gold edition of the game and DLC was pretty much nothing. So basically i didnt buy the second Crew game cause again it was dumb with overhaul the same map while added planes and boats to the game. The 2 things i am not looking from the racing games ever are the boats and planes. I hopte this Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will have visual tuning on the cars and there would be a lot of it. If they dont have it then i dont care for the game. I basically like the Forza Horizon 4 and 5 cause there are visual customization where you can change body parts to make unique car.
@@mister.dynamite the earlier games (or the Test Drive series for that matter) don't have that sort of vehicle customization you'd expect from NFS, Midnight Club, Forza, or The Crew so I've just warned ya to save yourselves from immeasurable dissapointment
Omg, you guys make a video for anything. You don't know anything about this game! There has been 1 teaser trailer! You know nothing! You're literally showing other games because you have nothing! Click Bait with zero information!
Quando vai estar desponivel o jogo TDU3? Aqui no brasil e quanto vai custar? Vai ser em mídia física? Ou digital? Quem vai fornecer esse jogo aqui no Brasil? Se alguém poder me ajudar nas respostas acima eu agradeço!! Obrigado
Pra mim o TDU2 foi o melhor jogo que eu ja joguei na minha vida e pra mim é o melhor jogo ja lançado em mundo aberto do mundo!!! Eu espero que agora com a chegada desse novo jogo o TDU3 possa vir a me mostrar algo mais realista e magnífico pois o TDU2 eu jogo ele no meu Notebook!! E o acho um jogo magnífico!! Ancioso pra o jogar!! Kkkk
É o meu jogo favorito também. Joguei muito. Todas as possibilidades e enredo do jogo são maravilhosas. Na época do lançamento eu não tinha nenhum console, então foi mais de um ano assistindo vídeos no TH-cam e de vez em quando jogava na lan-house. Até comprar o meu em 2013 e jogar pra caramba. Esse jogo me marcou e eu tenho muito carinho com ele hahaha. Tenho até hoje guardado, embora tenha vendido o PS3, quero ter a mídia sempre pra me lembrar da época. Esse novo me deixou muito entusiasmado porque o único que chega perto mas não chega a altura é o Forza Horizon. Espero que seja tão bom quanto o anterior. Abraços!
@SCORPION FIRE, TDU1 was also spread out over a MUCH more rural area (for the most part, anyway) than Hong Kong, plus there are also other factors to consider, such as the engine that the newest Test Drive is made in, the fact that there are a lot more polygons for bigger buildings in a city (which, by the way, have a lot of data in them), and the fact that this franchise has been dead for around 10 years. Moreover, that game was also made, what, in 2005? Let me also remind you that, outside of ESPN NFL 2K5, and the Classic Doom and Wolfenstein 3D games, Test Drive Unlimited (1) gets more mods on the PC scene than practically any other game besides those games, and only Test Drive Unlimited 2 and The Crew 2 have bigger racing maps than Test Drive Unlimited (1).
TDU 1 had an absolutely massive map, and even though much of it did not consist of driveable roads (I spent many hours forcing cars through forests and up mountains on TDU), it all added to the sense of scale. The maps nowadays might have crammed more roads into their smaller space, but the downside is they've lost that feeling of being dropped into a massive world where you genuinely feel like you could get lost.
not sure how they are going to release a game this big on a nintendo switch but I really hope they don't drop support for ps4 during the making of this game
Why do you never show or even mention wether or not it will have a cockpit view. Many of us only play those racers. It’s important. I would totally ignore the game if it didn’t offer the reality of a cockpit view like the other Test Drives
I literally watch the trailer everyday man. Cannot wait for this game to come out. I'm sick and tired of the recycled garbage Horizon games have become. They're just not the same vibe anymore, meant for 12 year old to socialize on more than a free roam game. I cannot wait for the new TDU, the environment and vibes feel more mature.
Really hoping this gen games are immersive with better graphics obviously but better sound and physics. Bored of the same old driving like the new grid and typical need for speed, forza horizon etc. Need more like drive club and FM7 etc. Needs to feel realistic for me..same with shooters we need more like insurgency but better, like 6 days in falluja. Games are becoming boring because devs cba. TDU i have a soft spot for so really hoping it's as good as the others
Why they make games with left hand driving is beyond me, 99% of the world drives on the right and it is annoying to play a game that is just the opposite. God Bless
jee wiz next year huh ? wonder how many times it will get pushed back ect god im so done with this gen there are no games to play and all the ones that are interesting are a year away if not longer. what a mess this gen has been
I love the Horizon games, but their maps are always quite small. It takes less than 20 minutes to do a lap of the map in Horizon 4 - in the first TDU, which was released 15 years ago, you can drive a McLaren F1 at full speed around the map, and it takes over 45 minutes.
Only OGs used to remember how much of a masterpiece this game is and still better than most games now

Nop, it's so sad but the private houses will be replaced by rooms in the Solar tower, a huge hotel in Hong Kong. I hope they keep at least the car dealers, otherwise it would become a copy of The crew or Forza horizon. The "life simulation" aspect was the part that i liked most in the previous games of TDU...
@@FedFerr Knowing this has taken away some of my hype for the game, I hope it makes up for it in other ways.
We don’t know that yet. They could still add houses
@@FedFerr , why not allow for houses, penthouses in other skyscrapers, AND rooms in the Solar Tower?
@@terrelltaylor7263 I hope, there is only rumours spreading saying house like the old games won't be in the game
The first TDU blew my mind when I began playing it way back in 2008. The size of the map is incredible, even by 2021 standards. A lot of other open world racers could learn a lesson or two from the developers at Eden.
I would have to disagree with you given that TDU didn't sell too good and the 2nd one was the final nail in the coffin for the devs so the creators out here now should steer clear of anything those games did and stick to what they know how to do

2. Community Racing Center (and weekly player challenges) and Challenge Editor
3. The car wash.
4. Licenses, and the championship style
5. Dealerships, tune shops, houses, clothes shops, and just the amount of lifestyle realism in general.
Maybe alow us to go back to old maps
Great timing releasing a "Before You Buy" a year before the game is released, I'll surely remember everything by then.
It’s not a “before you buy” it’s a “9 things you need to know”….lol
I friggan loved TDU2.... I hope this is a great entry to continue the series
I absolutely love the idea of using a smaller relevant location like Hong Kong as a true 1:1 map. Incredible forward thinking by devs.
It really seems like something I don't like because I always like the big open world of tdu but I hope it will still be something nice.

*"new details you need to know:"*
i also dont know, only time will tell
yeah i was going to comment the same thing
I bought a new PC just for the TDU first game and got the big map inside the box. The time when you needed to have CD-Rom and disc inside to play the game. I didnt buy the TDU 2 as it felt like DLC a new small island added to the game. As the first game DLC was pretty much rip off with few cars only and you needed to bay 10 bucks for it. Also what was annoying was that the DLC wasn't released world wide and was US release first and then they complained that dont buy the DLC from US cause it can make issues or something.
Same with The Crew that i bought the first game as i tough and still think it's Test Drive game with just a new name i bought the first game and were upset with the expansions that cost too much for what they offered and especially as i bought gold edition of the game and DLC was pretty much nothing. So basically i didnt buy the second Crew game cause again it was dumb with overhaul the same map while added planes and boats to the game. The 2 things i am not looking from the racing games ever are the boats and planes.
I hopte this Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will have visual tuning on the cars and there would be a lot of it. If they dont have it then i dont care for the game. I basically like the Forza Horizon 4 and 5 cause there are visual customization where you can change body parts to make unique car.
It is curious if this will be a true next generation racer in 2022.
It's gonna be on switch there's your answer
Hong Kong! Love it!
What about vehicle customisation?
if the first two games we're any indication, you'd better off quoting ol' Kratos by now
@@adlibbed2138 What does that mean?
@@mister.dynamite the earlier games (or the Test Drive series for that matter) don't have that sort of vehicle customization you'd expect from NFS, Midnight Club, Forza, or The Crew so I've just warned ya to save yourselves from immeasurable dissapointment
@@adlibbed2138 *Thank you kind sir! 👍 I guess its a miss for me then.*
You guys are all invited to my house when this comes out! Lol
Who misses the indicators 😳
Omg, you guys make a video for anything. You don't know anything about this game! There has been 1 teaser trailer! You know nothing! You're literally showing other games because you have nothing! Click Bait with zero information!
This game will be set in Hong Kong? TAKE MY MONEY!
i hope we can still walk around in the clothing stores
houses and condos
they should also bring back plastic surgery
Quando vai estar desponivel o jogo TDU3? Aqui no brasil e quanto vai custar? Vai ser em mídia física? Ou digital? Quem vai fornecer esse jogo aqui no Brasil? Se alguém poder me ajudar nas respostas acima eu agradeço!! Obrigado
Any bikes?
Pra mim o TDU2 foi o melhor jogo que eu ja joguei na minha vida e pra mim é o melhor jogo ja lançado em mundo aberto do mundo!!! Eu espero que agora com a chegada desse novo jogo o TDU3 possa vir a me mostrar algo mais realista e magnífico pois o TDU2 eu jogo ele no meu Notebook!! E o acho um jogo magnífico!! Ancioso pra o jogar!! Kkkk
É o meu jogo favorito também. Joguei muito. Todas as possibilidades e enredo do jogo são maravilhosas. Na época do lançamento eu não tinha nenhum console, então foi mais de um ano assistindo vídeos no TH-cam e de vez em quando jogava na lan-house. Até comprar o meu em 2013 e jogar pra caramba. Esse jogo me marcou e eu tenho muito carinho com ele hahaha. Tenho até hoje guardado, embora tenha vendido o PS3, quero ter a mídia sempre pra me lembrar da época. Esse novo me deixou muito entusiasmado porque o único que chega perto mas não chega a altura é o Forza Horizon. Espero que seja tão bom quanto o anterior. Abraços!
'Preciate the info video, fool.
There better be jdm cars
Will this compete with Forza Horizon 5?
Still waiting for a new driver game
man if i ever make it rich ill get the servers back up online no matter what.
Tbh i was hoping itll be just for new gen. Seems u cant push graphics and all whule making the game accessible for last gen
4:22 the container is coming down whats the point of drifting there its a car not Nathan Drake sliding under a door lol
I loved tdu 2 I drove on every road in Hawaii and Ibiza and loved gambling at the casino it was fun and I'm a fuckin nerd but so what
TDU1 was 600sq miles. 30sq miles is Tiny! Even Forza Horizon 4 is twice as big. A map that small is a HUGE mistake.
@SCORPION FIRE, TDU1 was also spread out over a MUCH more rural area (for the most part, anyway) than Hong Kong, plus there are also other factors to consider, such as the engine that the newest Test Drive is made in, the fact that there are a lot more polygons for bigger buildings in a city (which, by the way, have a lot of data in them), and the fact that this franchise has been dead for around 10 years. Moreover, that game was also made, what, in 2005? Let me also remind you that, outside of ESPN NFL 2K5, and the Classic Doom and Wolfenstein 3D games, Test Drive Unlimited (1) gets more mods on the PC scene than practically any other game besides those games, and only Test Drive Unlimited 2 and The Crew 2 have bigger racing maps than Test Drive Unlimited (1).
TDU 1 had an absolutely massive map, and even though much of it did not consist of driveable roads (I spent many hours forcing cars through forests and up mountains on TDU), it all added to the sense of scale. The maps nowadays might have crammed more roads into their smaller space, but the downside is they've lost that feeling of being dropped into a massive world where you genuinely feel like you could get lost.
Too bad it’s coming to the lesser consoles. That means the version we get on ps5 and xsx will not be all they could’ve been.
not sure how they are going to release a game this big on a nintendo switch but I really hope they don't drop support for ps4 during the making of this game
TDU1 featured a bigger island and was released on PSP - even more remarkable if you ask me.
I will just patiently wait another 2-3 years for GranTurismo
think role playing elements will make it different from forza
Before you buy.... A year before its on sale
I love race
Wanna see what they have done after many years. Still no gameplay.
Why do you never show or even mention wether or not it will have a cockpit view. Many of us only play those racers. It’s important. I would totally ignore the game if it didn’t offer the reality of a cockpit view like the other Test Drives
I literally watch the trailer everyday man. Cannot wait for this game to come out. I'm sick and tired of the recycled garbage Horizon games have become. They're just not the same vibe anymore, meant for 12 year old to socialize on more than a free roam game. I cannot wait for the new TDU, the environment and vibes feel more mature.
Really hoping this gen games are immersive with better graphics obviously but better sound and physics. Bored of the same old driving like the new grid and typical need for speed, forza horizon etc. Need more like drive club and FM7 etc. Needs to feel realistic for me..same with shooters we need more like insurgency but better, like 6 days in falluja. Games are becoming boring because devs cba. TDU i have a soft spot for so really hoping it's as good as the others
Im getting this game
Why they make games with left hand driving is beyond me, 99% of the world drives on the right and it is annoying to play a game that is just the opposite.
God Bless
Anybody here played the WRC games? That gameplay got me skeptical because that looked like shit
Especially with a steering wheel and in cockpit view it's really solid
@@svennevs1996 ill look into it
I love wrc its very weighty and realistic one mistake and your run is ruined
so, it's a rip-off of NEED 4 SPEED HOT PURSUIT & GRAN TORISMO? I really don't like open world stuff. is there a single player mode?
This looks cool but I don't see it hanging with Horizon or Gran Turismo
another word for solar crown = corona ;)
Switch !!!
finally!
Hong Kong sucks why can't we just go to nice location like Switzerland
Someone is salty that they have to drive on the left side
jee wiz next year huh ? wonder how many times it will get pushed back ect god im so done with this gen there are no games to play and all the ones that are interesting are a year away if not longer. what a mess this gen has been
Wrc8’s handling is downright awful
NONE of these are new details!
Driving on the left is a thorn on my side! Im not going to buy TDU3 solar crown! Thanks a lot stupid devs you ruined the game
Ha! Yeah, that is annoying.
Yeah, literally unplayable. Game that'll release 8 months later is obviously going to be trash
No Bikes? I'll pass.... When the fuck will there be a decent open world bike game
It’s not as good as Forza horizon 5 just yet
This is just cgi
i did not like the video
Forza Horizon 5 will be better this game just looks boring.
Forza is for the babies
@@geert574 Wow if that comeback was actually funny I'd be laughing, but since it wasn't guess your babie.
@@rexskirmisher4040 This game is the only reason Forza Horizons exists.
@@jay6274 Yeah sure it is I don't believe that for as second.
I love the Horizon games, but their maps are always quite small. It takes less than 20 minutes to do a lap of the map in Horizon 4 - in the first TDU, which was released 15 years ago, you can drive a McLaren F1 at full speed around the map, and it takes over 45 minutes.
Love TD spent most time on Ps1 then Dreamcast lol
