the steering in cockpit is kinda dissapointing but overall looks and sounds good

Please let demo's make a comeback

FunFact:It will not have Microtransactions!

I have played TDU 1 & 2 for a long time, and I am very hyped for this game. Unfortunately, I don't get the same feeling. Where are the driving schools, no houses, no need to explore to find clothing stores and hairdressers because everything is in the hotell and no side quest picking up people on the side of the road. I know it is early and all of this can be added. But it doesn't feel lika a TDU game yet.

they do need the fix that steering wheel framerate and gameplay. it needs to turn way better

One thing I’m noticing is, the wheel isn’t turning full well is it?! It only seems to be turning about 30-45 degrees!! Sure they can change that in the final game right?! 🤔

That fixed camera gives me nightmares 🥲

To me, it looks like an upscaled mobile game, especially when driving around the 370z in the daytime....💀

Wish the demo was on Xbox and PS aswell

I really hope they fix the steering animations to be more like crew motorfest. And add more traffic to the game

The starter cars should've been cars like a suzuki swift, polo and a fiesta. These are way too expensive for starter cars cmon.

The npc's still look funky haha just like the old days, but im very curious to see not going to pre-order just yet. Still hoping for motorcycles aswell.

Notice the brake lights softly turning on and off where there are halogen bulbs. These are the sort of details that make the visuals smooth and believable for me and really shows they cared

Game needs proper offline story mode

I don't say this often but I hope they improve the character models because my God...

I can't stress enough how imperative, How crucial And? How extremely important it is that these developers add houses and the option to buy real estate in this long awaited sequel. Not only was this THEE staple of the original test drive Unlimited titles but, it seperated Unlimited from the other racers. Even today its the onky game series like it and set the bar for how an open world racer could be. It's a feature that's decades old and should have been implemented and fully included in a Solar Crown in 2024 but, instead they opted for a Hotel. Nothing feels cooler than pulling up to the real estate office in your car, talking to the agent and looking through homes, taking a virtual tour, finally buying one and then LITERALLY DRIVING to your mansion that you saved up to buy, parking in the garage ( garage space and size depending on size of house) and going inside to redecorate and vibe out. Even Club houses were dope for you and your fellow car enthusiasts. Honestly this "Solar hotel" should be a temp location until houses are added. If they never get added its a huge L for the future of TDU.

0:49 - her voice sounds like the one from TDU1 dealerships voice too. Maybe the same person?

Solar Crown is coming.

holy s**t i love these devs already you almost never see demos in this day and age and this early too? edit: nvm game kinda mid and no way is it going to be finished in september

Literally mostly menus in this video with 1 minute of racing

they call it a "demo" when it reality its basically a public playtest lol. i wonder if the abysmal performance issues have been fixed though

15:39 i like how that truck just dissapeared

19:12 - anyone just gonna ignore the AI driving across the road in the wrong direction💀

What made the TDU games so unique was the car collecting and customizations, along with the social aspects. I wonder if they will bring back the casino like in TDU 2?

Please tell me I'm not the only one concerned about that floaty/hovering feeling handling. I dont wanna nitpick, but it is the main point which makes racing games, well, racing games.

A TDU video without an elgato malfunction???? We've made it 😖✊

Can we all appreciate the fact that we can see old Mustang Fastback, Lancia Delta Integrale and others we could met in the beginning of TDU 2?

I can't believe it's finally coming out! I'm a long time fan of the series. and this looks good!

Theo before the game launches can you please ask the devs to change the rotation to the in car steering wheel because the current one is horrible.

I hope there is more movement with the 3rd person chase cam

Cannot believe this is the steering wheel animation, wtf. Should be 900° animation, like Motorfest.

What's the customization like in your penthouse? One of the things that made TDU so unique was how much you could customize your house.

The map looks great

Gonna have to get used to driving on the left side of the road, Theo. It's Hong Kong lol.

finally i can stop racing in Sleeping Dogs just for the Hong Kong feeling.

I really hope they lean even more into the social-hub mechanics what other racing games miss. They already have a lot of those features, which is very reassuring! We really need this game in the racing genre, can't wait to get a hold of the full game!

Game is DOA. Barely anyone can even launch the game properly, and those that can are constantly getting booted from the server. We cant have anything in this genre can we?

I know the game isn't finished but it really has that Free to Play Chinese game look to it. Maybe or hopefully this is a very old build and we'll see a massive improvement in performance and visuals on the release

Anyone else noticed that the corvette has paddle shifters and is stick at the same time😂. Still can’t wait for this game to come out though, love tdu!

Here after watching Theo play TDU demo in live stream!! Let's gooo!

So, at this rate it seems that the Epic Games edition is forgotten for an full Steam approach on PC. It shouldn't, but it puts an smile on my face.

Alright I was wrong last time around!!! I'm sold and that Corvette sounds absolutely monstrous. Take my money

Omg the first ego perspective with arms and driver-window (sorry don’t know if theres an special word) where your eyes arent IN your wrists!!! Mindblowing 🎉and you can see if someones head to head with you 👍🏻

The map looks pretty legit! The Convention & Exhibition Centre looks clean, just missing a bit of constant construction for realism lmao

i Saw the Field of view in the sitting,Great video

is it just me or does the steering wheel lock-in to the neurtal position while turning the wheel to the other side

🎉It looks really good and Wow those Interior shots are A plus

Everyone: This is COOL ! An open world racing game in Hong Kong? About time... Me: ..... *I'm Wei Shen, Mutha Fucka !*

People whining about the graphics and steering wheel are not real gamers, for a 50€ game it looks pretty good already and they are probably gonna update the hell out of it

TDU IS BACK BABY!!! Holy shit this looks good🔥🔥🔥

Ngl it kinda makes sense for them to make it only available on steam rn. They know this game is highly anticipated and most streamers use a pc setup. So they are most likely taking notes of streamers playing this game. Bigger audience

Gotta say, when Theo got to play this first time around I was kinda worried of how it will come out because it didn't look as good and the handling was definitely missing (yeah yeah I know it was Alpha but still) but now I can honestly say this is a proper Test Drive Unlimited game. They done proper job introducing us to the true TDU world, and I hope we get to see maybe few easter eggs to older games? So far this looks awesome!

Is this the final build or will the game look a little bit better at launch?

Was excited for this one leading up to this demo, glad I decided to give it a try early cause the game is honestly pretty meh. Driving physics are terrible and visually it is far from good. I know its a demo but I don't see much changing in 3 months. Feels more like a passion project from fans making a driving game for the very first time rather than quality AAA driving game.

They really need to make the idle sound louder🤦‍♀️ after the car starts up it sounds like an electric car

Ridicolous game

Please show more footage of the dynamic camera option. This static one makes my eyes bleed lol

are there pickup missions? like in tdu 1

I love this game for its amount of work you have to do to even unlock a car for me. Usually it would be super easy to unlock it you'd like. Need a million or something but here it's actually going to take 200 hours which is actually pretty big but still pretty realistic and when you get that car you always want it. I think it's going to feel so rewarding and I'm quite excited to see what this game can do when it comes out on Xbox. It may or may not, but I hope it does

This is sucha good racing game preferably and should be playable offline. The game like other past test drive has so much to offer and explore. I love the series and gladly they still stick up what Test drive actually is. Shame it is ONLINE only. 😕

AY AY lets get it bro BP the money power respect

Sad to see the performance hasn't improved at all. Gonna try it with a more average pc.

BP my man, you looked right past the FOV slider at the bottom of the same screen where you were adjusting the 'depth' slider.

What would be cool is if they allow you to use pics from the game to be used as wall art in your place. Just a little something to make each room different.

The elephant in the room: The game looks horrible and not anything like something that is releasing in 3 months.

Is there any police in the game?

Looks pretty good so far, hopefully they add pedestrians n full cockpit view steering wheel rotation n fov slider. No racing should release without full wheel rotation after motorfest set the tone n did it so nicely‼️

Just a good ol' fashioned game. As Michael Rosen said: "And everything was lovely once again!"

Downloading it right now

This game looks so damn good man :)

15:41 you forgot to look at the wreck nearby

Disappointed that theres no cosmetic customization, would love to see body kits and such

This looks amazing

Definitely won’t buying this on release day

Getting flash backs to Sleeping Dogs driving around HK 🙏🙏🙏😮‍💨😮‍💨😮‍💨

“Test drive and pick one of 3 starter cars that are available” *Drives ZR1*

Game ran like ass in the alphas. Game ran like ass in the betas. Game still runs like ass in the demo. The city is dull compared to the other test drives. Always online is garbage. The car sounds are fantastic though. That's it.

The Graphics is Similar to GTA 6 but cartoony..

15:37 truck: *a d i o s*

Looks awesome! But they put so much effort to make a model of HK, but all the cars are LHD?!?!

the lack of console gameplay is concerning:( - I don’t have the money for a PC right now, and even if I did, I have much more important things to spend the money on, like rent… lol

Its always online so I'll pass

i think this is why games stopped doing demos, In the comments everyone is complaining about stuff and that they wont buy the game because something they dont like f.ex the traffic isnt versatile enough. They arent showing a final game, theyre doing demos to get feedback to improve the game.

Kinda late to see this, but damn thanks, now it's time to Test Drive the Demo.

Looks like a moblie game bro

The graphics is horrible

At least they made a demo to let you know what you're signing up for

It looks like crap

why does the graphic look like a 2014 game? it doesn’t look like the trailer at all 😑

So I was just reading how people are angry that beta not being included with steam pre-order unlike PS5 pre-order, and here we are, we have it now and we have it for free. Thank you, Nacon!

The map screen looks BEAUTIFUL... I feel like a lot of this game looks pretty janky and dated graphics and everything but it looks like it could be really fun so I will give it a shot when the full game drops

Fire!

What do you guys think about visual customization? Would you like more options? Do you think it's perfect like just that? Maybe it will change in the final game, who knows What do you guys think?👇

So hype for this game, we need no hesi on console and this seems like that and so much more

After playing the steam demo version, I summarized few serious problems, I hope you can report/tell the Test Drive Unlimited Official to fix/improve these issues before publishing the game because it is a memorable game for all of us, we all hope to have playful and enjoyable game experiences for tdusc 1. I use gtx1650 to play mid graphic quality, the graphic performance is very poor but I still experience frequently game crashes, I don’t know why 2. The frame is very low even at lowest graphic quality , the game is seem like stuck and un-fluent. 3. There is no option for buying property, club, casino, and clothing stores which I am very disappointed because these are my favorite features from tdu2. 3. The racing experience is weird, like there are some small materials in front of the vehicle then it would automatically spin and lose control.

One thing I hate in this demo that I really hope they fix is they force me to wait 40 SECONDS before a race looking for other players. I don't want to wait 40 seconds and also it NEVER finds another player for the race so just let me skip the wait!

For everyone that is a bit confused with the steering wheel animation: Yes, the 900° turn is not tyere yet. But i did go into the controller binding and just set the steering keft and right afain and the sensitivity changed from 2 to 0 with a deadzone to 0.1, which really should have been that way in the first place. Anyway, it showes then, that the animation is working fine, just missing the 900° rotation.

Can you tell me if you know please since everywhere i look also on wiki page thw switch release says TBA means it stills on for release sometime.hope its still on 🙏i think it would be delightful

A video showing some uncommon cars like the alpine would be cool, Mustangs, Corvettes and 350 you see it all the time in racing game, but it's really nice when the devs go out of their way to bring different cars from the norm, it would be interesting to see them and how they handle.

10:20 Could u possibly do a segment in a video covering the different settings, for the graphics and showing which ones are necessary and unnecessary options.
