Xbox360 Test Drive Unlimited Demo (E3 Demo)

[ChrisF]

Jerky for me as well...

Seems ok, hoping that graphically it will be tarted up a bit in terms of the jaggies which spoil the look of the cars somewhat. Occasional tearing also. Still, looks to be ok from the go I just had.

[Silvergun X]

Online servers are up.

Edited: so i've been playing this online and it's ****ING SUPERB!

I just kept cruising around, found a fellow racer, flashed my lights at him and away we go.

I set a route for him, and we just burned it there. I completely ignored my GPS, cut across the grass, and overtook him to win.

Absolutely brilliant. More please!

Yeah it looks like quite a bit of work is still needed on the graphics; the jaggies & textures are pretty chronic at the moment tbh. It's currently looking more like an Xbox v1.0 game running in 720p than a 360 game.

Wonder how early a build this is?

[El Leone]

Wouldn't be suprised if its a few months old tbh. It takes quite awhile for develoeprs to iron out a good stable code.

[marcus]

I feel as though if I dont use the interior view Im somehow shortchanging myself from the intended realism of the game, same with PGR3 come to think of it.

[Silvergun X]

Now it just keeps crashing.

You get into an area with too many people in at once and it just either disconnects everyone, or crashes you out.

[Roost]

Aye mine just crashed twice just as i'd actually found some other people lol

[Silvergun X]

I think the servers are just getting completely hammered.

When you start the game, immediately hit your GPS and plant yourself at the orange challenge marker. Get some races going.

Another thing to note - If you get into a duel, and you're wondering why you can't place a marker, it's because you're not placing it far away enough from the starting position.

Races have to last longer than a minute - So if you duel someone, go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off the map and plant it in some far away location.

[Silvergun X]

Oh dear, something's broken.

No games at all are showing up, and nobody's on the road, even though I can apparently connect to the TDU servers fine.

Teething problems? Here's hoping this won't be unavailable at the end of this week.

Hey Silvergun, think you're right, was looking for you on the road, got in one race then it crahsed and crashed a few times after that too
Try again tommorow facy a race on PGR3?

[Silvergun X]

I don't even have PGR3 anymore. I traded it in a while ago - I need to buy it again!

I'm just really, really hoping they sort this out... The few races i've had online have been absolutely sublime. Especially the 1 vs 1 duels you can just engage.

Edited: It's working! And I can see more than 5 people without it crashing!

YES!

[ItsThere]

They are pretty cool, I was bombing down a massive straight at 190 in the Lambo and just started beeping my horn at some players I passed, brilliant and not even a gameplay mode
Then I crashed head on into someone doing about the same speed and got battered by everyone I passed. Good fun indeed.

[Silvergun X]

It's working it's working it's working.

Edit: LMAO, amusing bugs though. I can't get out of neutral and i'm in a race!

Edit Edit: And now it's down again.

[anephric]

I was randomly crashing into doods without realising I was online. I thought they were AI.

Ooops.

I thought, looks-wise, this is fairly smart. It's jaggy as hell, but it runs well enough in 480p.
