TDU 2 : not just a racing game, it's about the lifestyle of owning a dream car
The progression in Test Drive Unlimited 1 and 2 was really well done. Every car and house really felt like a reward, like you honestly earned it. I loved it.
With the current state of forza, I do believe tdu sc and the crew 3 will caught up with the franchise
Definitely, the devs and producers behind those games seem really passionate which Forza are lacking
@@YuwanThayakaran I can't understand how is it possible for such a game like TDU to die? I haven't played it, but it seems like an incredible game with features that were ahead of it's time. Features that even now after 12 years are still missing. Even the map is kind of this things. Very sad..
@@1ybr Sure, because there should be some big downside, otherwise it will be extremely strange if this game isn't popular.
The crew games are so irrelevant
@@xgamez5698 tdu died because its owner atari went bankrupt. After many years the tdu franchise got sold to the developer who is now working on tdu sc
Be able to adjust seats in TDU just blown my mind. It's the only game I know that had that feature. Very often in interior view I feel like I'm sitting too high, or to close, and in TDU you can sit and see as you want, amazing stuff
I’m sure you could put down the windows aswell 😂 just little details like that felt so cool
@@mrapexlegend8397 Yep, those details are crazy :D
Yep that was a gamechanger - Unfortunately that feature wasn't seen in TDU2 but fingers crossed it returns in Solar Crown
@@YuwanThayakaran I hope other games will get that feature too, ! Oh and looking around in Fh4 was annoying because if I look too far left, right or back it changes to exterior camera. The Crew did it better
@@lopez11711 yep. That’s for sure. You probably know this already, but The Crew even put a hidden thing where if you lightly pull the stick down, you can look DOWN inside the cockpit, so you could see more of the interior. Brilliant stuff
I was raised on TDU and TDU2. I'm praying for devs to make TDUSC as best as they can, bringing back all those beloved features from TDU games.
ja tak samo wychowany na obu częściach pozdro
@@Y0unglingsSl4y3r ❤️
Can’t wait for TDU:SC. TDU2 was my entire childhood 🔥
Mine too, even though I was too young to understand what I had to do. I remember when I came home and my father had a surprise for me in the living room. When I got there, there was a disc of TDU 2 next to our PlayStation. I loved this game!
@@brainnotfound239 Thats funny thats a very similar situation to mine. My dad bought me TDU2 for my 10th birthday when it first came out
TDU 1 foe me 👋
Uh no because it’s already going to fail similar to Cyberpunk 2077.
😂 u actually believe that it’s coming out.
In TDU, when in cockpit view, you could look down inside the car, look at the whole interior, look at yourself changing gears etc etc.. it was so nice. So immersive. In Forza horizon, it doesn’t exist and it always pissed me off
Indeed
I’ll never forget the feeling of joy I got in tdu 2 when I bought my first Ferrari it felt earned after grinding for it, I was so hyped I called my mum to come and have a look 😂 (I got called a time waster) and she didn’t care but to me it was such a proud moment, now in Forza I am almost numb to higher end cars cos they are spoon fed to us from the beginning of the game
This game made me fall in love with Ferrari California and Impreza (Hawkeye wasn't that much of a favourite for me before), but I am also a Ford guy so the GT was a must buy
It's mind-blowing how ahead of it's time TDU2 is
I remember doing 100mph wheelies down the highways with my friends in tdu2, those were moments I wish I could have back
100mph felt INSANE in TDU2 - In Forza it feels like the speed limit 😅
Swear to God bro 😢
@@YuwanThayakaran loved the sense of speed in TDU. And particularly the motion blur. It was like a tropical painting gone blurry lol. I used to accelerate and look to the side as long as I dared without crashing, because the motion blur was so satisfying
as a huge tdu fan as well, imo it absolutely deserves backwards compatibility. i would love to play it all over again in 60fps. ik they don't care about the older games anymore but still it would be almost perfect. tdu2 actually had a fair bit of challenge and that's a lot of what we're missing in today's gaming.
You could even go to the car wash in tdu 1 & 2 ❤❤ I love TDU2. Played it for 7 years straight.
Childhood. Played it all day and still play it from time to time. A song that was in the radio became my favourite and I‘m going to a concert of that band in June. I absolutely love that game and it will be always my favourite.
You did great justice to an unsung legend!! Well done!! I love TDU2!!
TDU2 is the reason why I recently stopped playing Forza Horizon 5 and went back to TDU2 and that's because the reasons you just mentioned in the video and I have forgotten why I love TDU2 so much
Precisely the reason I did the very same. If I could keep the game from crashing it'd be awesome.
The last time I saw a video from this channel was 3 years ago, I forgot it's name and just found this video
Gotta love the FH car choices in this vid, even down to the liveries 😩😩😩 and bless up for the features
Really looking forward to the Crew3 with the Hawaii map, I think this was the same map as TDU2 (and 1). This brings back some good memories and I'm wondering if I still know the way around the island. Also Solar Crown is hopefully going to be epic.
Houses and dealerships lol
Tdu2 was the greatest car game by a mile. And I absolutely loves the Hawaii map and houses
TDU 1 and 2 were my absolute dream games, especially the first. The devs don’t know how happy I was as a kid being able to drive a Gallardo on Hawaii, enhancing the games with my own imagination
Hi Yuwan love your videos and keep up the good work
I loved this game, even more when they brought out the casino update with a save point outside so you could never loose. I played the death out of the roulette tables using the martingale betting system (Just reloaded my save if I had bad luck) got to a point when I had everything in the game, Map was massive, and going over to Ibiza was a big map too. Cars didn't have the best handling but it was good enough for an open world arcade game.
Never played TDU2, but I was a massive fan of the original. It was groundbreaking, very much ahead of its time, and while everyone thinks Forza Horizon created the CaRPG, it was actually TDU. They had actually called it that right on the box. It also had live online player traffic way before Forza Horizon did, making the world feel more alive.
Hey, thanks for the cool video! Nice to see TDU2! I think I will try it some time in the near future thanks to your vid! Back in the day in 2006 I played TDU when it was released and it was so good! It is interesting how many good features yet there were in the first game. Especially the transport challenges stuck in my head where you have no time limit, just carefully getting the car from A to B without taking damage. Pure driving! I still remember when I bought the Add-On (yeah, a time when there were no DLCs but Add-Ons) just to have the opportunity to get the Ferrari Testarossa and the F40. I say opportunity, because like in TDU2 you had to earn the cars and that felt really special. To "earn" the F40 in Forza Horizon 4 didnt' felt that intense in comparison. (cool though to paint it in prideflag-colours) Just like many comments said: TDU/TDU2 were games about the excitement of driving and collecting cars in really interesting and cool ways! FH is not bad nonetheless, but it doesn't care that much about the sensation of getting in these awesome supercars. Just wrecking things and getting points for everything, even losing... I mean in TDU you can literally do a test drive with the car before you buy it! I hope Solar Crown lives up to the standards that these games set over decade before! But my beloved KT-Racing and Nacon that gave me Isle of Man TT and WRC behind TDUSC? Seems in good hands!
I really love your channel I check it everyday. It’s so entertaining. (I’m planning to get tdu2 on my ps3)
I still remember getting my R8 spyder from the casino in tdu2. Metallic brown with a tan soft top (old man spec😅) I loved it.
Can't wait to see TDU Solar Crown.
hello yuwan, i watched all of your videos i watched you since you used the robot voice lol love the videos keep it up your one of my favourite ytbers
Wow you're a real OG - Appreciate it, thanks for sticking by! :D
Is the game on Xbox one if not it’s ok bc I will be getting my brothers gaming laptop in about 3-4 months
Dude just become a tdu channel 🔥🔥🔥
I only ever played TDU 1 on the ps2 but man it was great. I loved the realism in it.
its scary how 12 years game is so much better..... scary
If you want to drive on a map like Forza Horizon 2 you need to buy Forza Horizon 2. Wow, that is truly ground breaking. Amazing content 😂😂🙏
what i also liked very much in TDU2 is that when you bought a new car and drove it, you made kilometers/miles with the car. in Forza it always shows you a random new number. I remember checking all my cars, how long I've been driving them
TDU 2 just gives me so much nostalgia
Awesome vid !!.. I do believe the devs of TDU 1 and 2 are the same devs behind The Crew 1 and 2 ..
This brings back so many memories, even though I stopped playing TDU2 a year ago because I lost the disc for my PS3. Now I just stick to Forza horizon 2,3,4, and 5, and of course The Crew 2 Edit: I found the TDU2 disc!
Ah yes, the Crew 2 with its shockingly bad physics engine
@@DrBarbequeSauce I know, I was just being sarcastic
Omg I’ve not seen your vids in time used to watch every single one
I really enjoyed TDU games a lot! TDU1 on PS2! OMG amazing memories! ✌️❤️
TDU1 and TDU2 were my childhood. i wish i had my xbox360 and tdu2 i miss that game so much
TDU2 wasn't just a game for me. It was a vibe on its own. The sunset, the town beside the sea, the perfect balance of city, beaches, forests, and open roads. And the houses (and the yacht). Oh God how I loved them. Thankfully there's still a server that's still up and running made by fans, for the fans. Unfortunately Solar Crown doesn't give me much to look forward to. Granted, I've only seen the trailer so far, but it was so.. city-ish. So much alike to NFS: Heat, which I.. mostly tolerated. I doubt any racing games in the modern day can give me that feeling TDU2 gave me back in the day. I've played Forza 4 and 5. Both are great in their own ways, but they're not at TDU2's level.
I can't wait for TDUSC, TDU1 is still my absolute favourite open world racing game. I just had everything.
I can’t wait for TDU SC, I’ll play for straight 24 hours on release
THEY DONT MAKE IT THE SAME NO MORE
RACING GAMES WERE GOATED BACK IN THE DAY
Imagine combination of games like Forza Horizon 5 (with huge car list), Assetto Corsa, BeamNG and car mechanic simulator in one big game. I know it seems impossible now. In the past we didn't think games would look that awesome as they look today. Technology will get there. I just hope i'm gonna be alive to witness that. I imagine that game to have it's own economy system (like EVE online). Slowed down progression. That way you can bond with one car instead of owning 50+ cars like in forza (no satisfaction, bored easily). You can have multiple cars but in the game is some king of grinding system and it would be very hard to own multiple cars. Maybe later in game progression. Car mechanic shops own by players. Players can own part shops (engine parts, body kits, wheels, steering wheels etc...) You can also buy parts online and work on your own car in your garage. Maybe put purchasing mechanical tools for repairing or building cars. Customization has to be unprecedented (every detail possible). Music customization. (Like NFS Underground) RPG elements (like no pixel server in GTA 5). City doesn't have to be huge, rather packed with a lot of content. Car meets where you can get out of the car and examine other people's car engines, body work and interiors. Not the mention a good story. I don't understand why racing games should not have great stories, i don't know, like GTA 5 or RDR2 just because it's a racing game. Put some „surviving“ elements like gas and car maintenance (oil change, car wash etc...) Implement some kind of gambling system. Let's say you wanna race with another person. Both of you can place a bet (amount). So you can race for money or car (pink slips). Implement social network system (like GTA 5 RP) for posting pictures of progress of your car when you working in your garage or for car meets. Build your network of people. Car clubs - You decide what are the terms for getting in your car club. There would be some kind of club wars to see witch club is the best in the city. That way you can build reputation (live online with other players). Put way more barn finds and junk jards where you can find some rare gems. Car detailing. Show contest, as well music, style and tuning contest. Each server can represent one continent with up to 150 players or more (3 servers - USA, Europe, Asia) In, for example, USA server you can se more muscle cars. In Europe more BMW's, Audi, Volvo etc. You can travel between servers and we need somehow blend that transition with some kind of animation. For example, if the server is full, AI worker won't let you pass the border. On the start of the game where player can't afford they own house yet, we provide public garages. Avatars must be fully customizable (clothes, accessories etc...) Houses can be customizable (like Hogwards Legacy) If players don't have enough money to race among each other, put some all time available races so players can grind money. Players can own car wash house. Players can own towing car companies. Players can own delivery businesses (for car parts, tires, wheels etc...) Players can own taxi business. Players can own paint shops (store and workshop) All businesses can have social media page or internet page. Open communication all the time. Besides car meet places, put some restaurants where players can gather, eat and socialize (players can own those restaurants). Restaurants can be customizable to in some racing fashion.
That's Exactly why TDU has always be my favourite 👌
I feel like you should show more TDU2 footage
I was 9 when the game came out and have barely played it. But I watched my dad play it and I loved it
I loved this game. The physics were not great but just about everything else was. Excited for SC.
I like it when you have to grind for cars in games, The Crew 2 for example makes you grind a bit for a good car, in forza they just throw cars at you
No perfect game but one of the best of the last years!
you forgot about being able to put the roof down too that option was one of my favourites and it hasn't really being in games since it even did it before gta did
i remember on first TDU my car became really hard to drive it was drifting always and took me year to find out it had driving modes which turned off traction control 🤣
honestly when newer games are made they get worse like forza 3 is so much better then forza 5
and with the platinum mod, this game gets even better
When people talk about remastering certain games, this game is one that DEFINITELY needs a remaster! 😍🔥
Can't wait for the new expansion for turbo lag
It's sad we need an expansion for a feature that should've been in the game already
Bro, Test Drive Unlimited brought a lot of good features that will make me play it even more. I am happy to see the cops going aggressively stopping the players. I know A9 has cops that will go aggressive towards the player but the base AI cars are a bit broken, but I don’t mind.
Thats why I actually dont believe in FH devs anymore. TDU2 is my favorite arcade racing game from all times because it was so realistic with the "tiny" features that even NOW Forza cant put on their games... that says a lot. I really hope TDU SC is good enough as it was TDU2 but I dont wanna get hyped and receive a thing like FH5 xD. Nice video! I love them, keep it going!
Bro could you pls try to lower the High sound of your mic those „s“ are to hard and r hurting in the ear. But still love your vids. Just wanted to say that❤️
my personal favourite car game ever is fh3 or fh2 fh3 more just cause i love australia and i had amazing memories in fh3
test drive makes you feel rich while forza reminds you you are playing a video game.
Tdu2, midnight club LA and the crew are my favorite games
bro talking about TDU but showing Forza Gameplay at the background whole time.
Forza is fun for new players, but for the "old" players, it's kind of dead
They've been putting soo much time into solar crown. Its been worked on longer than GTA 6 and I dont doubt it'd be the crown holder of car games.
I remember playing tdu1 when i was 6 or smth, i would instantly drive to the Koenigsegg dealership to test drive the cars
Tdu 2 is basically gta without guns
Honestly thought I was the only one who knew about that gem
I miss playing TDU 2
yyour the best car you tuber
That’s why Microsoft never make TDU franchise backwards-compatible
❗️Actually, that makes sense and I wondered why I couldn't play them...
Your custom music also worked on the radio
With this video, I realize I have never played TDU2....HOW?! The first was amazing! I guess I just checked it off in my head as PLAYED.
These are all the reasons, why i love the decade old TDU2 a lot more than FH5 to this day
I’ve actually never finished this game 😂 I think I beat the first championship where the pay out was like a million dollars and then started flipping cars and houses
You can tell that this guy loves TDU 2 just by looking at intro Ford Fastback Look. He turned into Miami Harris.
Does TDU 2 have wheel support? I didn't have a chance to play it
I do hope we have a proper working PS3 emulator for Android and iOS so that we can play TDU2 everywhere. Also KT must remaster TDU2 as a preview to TDUSC. 😅
Tdu 2 is a nightmare to get working on pc these days Also if you never bought it on steam before getting delisted be prepared to pay over $100 for a physical copy
it's very sad, i never completed the game originally, and, as it seems, i will never be able. also, do you have the notorious map freeze glitch?
@@beautiful_ground yeah figured it out how to do it game hasnt crashed in several weeks and is fully playable the fix is on steam discussion page.
For me TDU2 seems like more of a car person game but FH5 is a bit more cash grabby. I mean in TDU2 all convertible cars actually converted, whereas in FH5 they made a big thing out like 5 cars doing it and that was it l, it's such a half arsed feature. While I haven't played TDU2 in a long time, back when I did the modding community was thriving, constantly bringing out new cars and sound files; it has so much more replayability
I’ll never not be let down by Horizon’s Goliath races being like 10 minutes long. TDU1 took like 40 minutes racing around Ohahu in 2006. You still can’t even roll down windows in Horizon to cruise in cockpit view.
Common Yuwan W
You can flip cars in forza too!?
TDU 2 is the best racing game ever made along with Gran Turismo 5/6
I just wish FH5 had more passion and soul put into it. I was hype when it was announced, but when I beat it, I was left wanting more, yet the devs refused to deliver. Sure the Hot Wheels Dlc was nice and had some progression, but after you beat it, you're left high and dry. No wonder most of the old team left.
Will we get a new video on the recent news we got on TDU solar crown.
I hope they could remastered test drive and test drive 2 and mixed them together for Xbox series X
How Do You Get Tdu2 Because i cant Find it on steam
its such a fun game but unfortunately i cant get it anywhere :(
Yeah ever since the original company is no more, people are playing this game by downloading a "backup copy" of the game in the internet archive and then playing it on a private server.
I have around a 150h in Forza Horizon 5 and about 450 cars. I did not know that clubs existed and i have no clue what they are for.... I hate that i have so many cars, i drive about 5 off them "regulary" mostly one or two. I think I bought 3 or 4 off the over 400 cars that i own. They just keep getting gifted to me through wheelspins and i never drive them.
Is that a TDU Mustang livery at the start?
Gimme tdu2!
PRESS THE LIKE BUTTON !
nissan vtc review ?
I always wanted to ride bikes among the car guys. Don't care about cars myself anymore, and just want to ride with other players. Unfortunately triple A developers are absolutely hopeless with bike handling and physics and I will probably never be able to have that fun.
bro where to download tdu 2 from?
Took me a month to understand what were you saying
soo hang on , where's your gameplay of TDU 2 if its so amazing then ? 🙈
