Test Drive Unlimited ROCKS

DevenK · Post by **DevenK** » 28 Mar 2007, 12:09

O ok, suppose so. Will be checking it out in the future then. But I'm happy with my PC for now

Although I don't really like wireless controllers to be honest, batteries are irritating

Test Drive Unlimited is an awesome game, best racing game I have come across in a long time, NFS will have to do alot to better this.

This graphics detail and the car control is awesome, much better than the NFS series.

you can also store pics and stuff on it... there is software that you can buy that allows you to use your xbox as a PVR as well.

If your question is between the core and premium... just go for th premium... even if it takes a little longer - wireless controllers are awesome.

Worms HD FTW!!!

I'm running 720P on my 32" LCD and there is just no way I can go back to playing on a 74cm TV...It's almost like playing blind

I played testdrive unlimited on a xbox360 and it doesn't look a bit different to what I am playing on my PC.

I'm pretty happy not having a console, as long as they release the games for PC.

I'm also happy with my pc, but not getting games like Forza 2 and gears of war is not cool.

The xbox release also has more cars than the PC release and they have DLC with hasn't been activated for the PC version yet

You might be able to use the same models and textures for the Xbox version, if you can get them.

DevenK · Post by **DevenK** » 28 Mar 2007, 15:21

Yip, suppose you could...

Waiting for someone to do it and put it up on a torrent, then I'll be getting me some new cars

jPm · Post by **jPm** » 28 Mar 2007, 15:43

I was looking at the dealerships and there seems to be no BMWs. Are there any in the DLC?

Was hoping for maybe the m6 or m5 or even the new 2007 m3 v8

viceroy · Post by **viceroy** » 28 Mar 2007, 15:44

No.

Play PGR3 if you want to play BMW's

Went looking for the requirements to play the game and then read that Test Drive is one of the longest running game franchises and I am like 8O then it hit me... a 386 with pc speaker sound and Test Drive... Man, thinking that far back makes my head hurt....

viceroy · Post by **viceroy** » 28 Mar 2007, 17:04

Dude...I remember having the very first Test Drive where you could only choose out of about 2 cars (one was a testarossa) and something like one track which was along a cliff.

This was on a XT...In Monochrome

The one I played (could have been a later version) there was a Ferrari Pininfarina which was slower but looked stunning inside (ok, as stunning as the graphics could make something look those days)... if memory serves the biggest problem was the cops chasing you

Do you have internal views, or only external like in NFS?
