PS2 and PSP versions...

** It is time to take a taxi again and to go back to ATARI's sudio in order to test, this time, the PS2 and PSP versions ! A return delayed by traffic jam.
Fortunately the fast taxi driver brought us back to good port without losing too much time. We entered the building, decorated for celebrations of the end of year with beautiful blue lights. After having passed two doors, which works only with one master key, we arrived in the part reserved to Atari. A large room fills of offices, a little to the manner of the scene of Matrix (the first) where Neo is guided by telephone thanks to Morpheus.

** A small staircase carries out us in a room with a large LCD screen. In front of it, a coffee table where two PS2 and not less than 8 controllers, were waiting. Two PSP are also installed for a small game in networks. A room envisaged at the origin, to test the game and to find the possible issues.
It is time to speak about these two versions…

PS2 and PSP versions…

** It should already be known that these two versions were not envisaged when they started the project of TDU, and a few attentions were carried to them. However it seems that the devs located in Australia, did an impressive work, seen the low power of its two consoles. Indeed the PS2 is near 32 times less powerful than the xbox360, whereas the PSP is of 64 times. A hard challenge was announced.

Graphics…

** The details are set to the maximum which can be tolerated by the consoles, at least for the PS2 which is used to the maximum. The PSP can surely do better... But the result obtained, imposes the respect.

** The island has been entirely preserved for the two consoles, and any time of loading won’t come to disturb your trip. What can appear an obligation for all, isn’t however also obvious ! Indeed, streaming is a thing which had never been seen on PSP and never also exploited on PS2. The common interest of the developers was to find the quality of the vehicles of the PC and Xbox360 versions. And the result confirms their success.
A small detail on the PS2, but which is importance, is the reflections of the decorations on the body of the vehicles. No game, according to us and devs (we’re not sure but in the doubt) has never used real reflections ! Usually the movements of light and shade on the cars are false, here, the decoration is really reflected on the body.

Drive feelings...

** More voluntarily arcade it will touch the most of the public on these two consoles.
--- For the PS2 version :
** Indeed, the “real” arcade changes to the 360 or PC version. The pleasure therefore isn’t wasted, and in spite of a more obvious facility, the driving errors won’t be forgiven ! Beautiful hours of game will fill, it is sure, the owners of this version !
--- For the PSP version :
** The physical engine is the same, so the feelings seems to be very closed to PS2 version. The difference being in the small joystick which is so particular on the PSP (I am not particularly fan of it but, after a time of adaptation, it must be better appreciable). Only the owners of this console could judge...

Modifications…

** The network won’t be as developed on PS2 and PSP than the 360 and PC versions. A new system of points was set up, they are accumulated during the game, by making drifts, or using drafting. These points will enable you to increase your statistics. The change of luminous environment (day, to lay down sun...) won’t be done in real time but will change when you go in the houses or all other buildings. The system of personalization of the character (clothes...) wasn’t preserved for these two versions. Having noted that it was not very much used by the players, the devs preferred to work on other points.
** The motor bikes will also not be present in these two versions for technical reasons. Too much of works to obtain a satisfying result and the certainty that it shouldn’t be possible to respect the deadline. Ferrari refused to see its cars in these two versions... in spite of negotiations it seems that they won’t be present. On the other hand all the cars contained in DLC will be directly integrated into the set of its versions. Finally the interior view wasn’t preserved in version PSP.

** The only issue we met, because it was beta versions, is the absence of reflection on certain models of car on version PS2. Nothing which can’t be largely corrected before it is released.

** We didn’t finish yet joining together the videos PS2 and PSP. They will be put on the website during this week.

** To conclude, after an afternoon which increases the knowledge about Test Drive Unlimited, but also about secrets of realization of a video game, it shows us that the work to make it is impressive ! Only for that, I don’t understand how people can insult, with the slightest mistake, those who give so much in order to make this game one of the best, if it isn’t the best ! The team shares me their incomprehension face to that kind of reaction.
** Our community was congratulated and it is undoubtedly in party thanks to this good agreement that they accorded so many time to us.

** Last once, thanks a lot to the whole team of EDEN GAMES and ATARI !
(I wasn’t paid by ATARI for saying good things about the game, but I’ve seen the hard working to make it, and I don’t see myself saying bad things about it... first at all it would be necessary to me to have negatives thoughts and personally I don’t have one at all !

Wow, au muncit mult oamenii astia si la versiunile ptr console mai vechi si...cred ca rezultatul va fi fantastic. Prevad un succes major pe toate platformele :-D

.
Asta e, cand pui suflet si multa munca intr-un joc, si chiar si idei originale, iese jocul bun, unlike the latest games in the N.F.S series :-P

.
De-abia astept sa il joc pe PS2 ptr ca pe PC :whistle:

...

P.S:Presupun ca va avea si Split-screen(PS2), nu doar Online, am dreptate?

Din pacate TDU pe psp e cam dezamagire, are teribil de numeroase buguri da se pot ierta pt ca gameplay ul este foarte real, pe putin spus cel mai tare joc de psp la ora acutuala.
Inca nu am reusit sa joc online (probabil de la ISP) pt ca pe pc mia mers BETA ul 3 zile dupa nu ma mai puteam conecta imi dadea time out.
Controlul este suficient de greu da iti da o senzatie inredibila parca esti in masina, in momentul cand franezi parca simti masina, este extraordinar.
Poate se mai rezolva bugurile ca ar fi super.
nota 10 la gameplay

Enjoy The Pics!

Poate voi posta si eu niste poze pentru PS2. Oricum, este de departe cel mai bun racing pentru PS2.

Am inceput cu un Mustang, apoi am continuat cu un Shelby catigat, le-am vandut pentru unGallardo Spyder, dupa care am vandut si mi-am luat un Murcielago, upgradat la maxim. Super tare.
Sunt presedinte pe la vreo patru clubri, si cam pe la 20% din joc (il am de o saptamana, dar joc incontinuu)
