This looks like it has potential, just curious about the gameplay aspects.  And please no Deadmau5 in my soundtrack...

I don't mean it in a competitive way, more like a Pavlovian response of "hey I loved Forza and this looks similar, maybe I need another racing game."

I'm excited for this, I think as a game it doesn't come off that well. But if you love to drive in real life, I think it feels very close sometimes to what the reality is. Reality isn't always the best mind you. 
 
I just hope they put in more progression in this time.

Will probably get this. I loved the first one despite it being fairly buggy. And as for Forza market confusion, I don't even think it's exactly the same font. This is also only a racing game if you want it to be.

@efbiaye: Yeah, if a poor man could afford a life of luxury and a buttload of hot cars! 
 
But seriously, this game is looking pretty sweet. Can't say no to more car porn.

@girdz:  It's weird only if you actually like Gran Turismo, if not then it's completely understandable.

Not exactly considering how TDU is more about ownership of cars rather actually driving them. In my case I'm really enjoying GT5 but I'm also going to pick this up 'cause hey, I like cars in whatever form.

this is a racing game.  but I think the other stuff like with your character walking around is for meeting up with friends before a race, but I have no idea.  it's on my Steam wish list

I'm digging the whole luxury playboy lifestyle thing, but I hope the actual driving is good as well. Kind of reminds me of DoA Xtreme 2, but with cars instead of volleyball. Hope this is a better game.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this game. The concept is very cool but the driving mechanics in the first title were god awful (felt like you were pivot steering everything) and the online modes were broken balance wise because anyone could enter any event with any car. I really hoped they learned lessons from that one.

I am curious about the driving in this game, having never played the first one (or any of the other Test Drive games). It is more arcade-style, or simulation style?

Looking awesome, I liked the driving in TDU, doing that drive 5000 miles achievement and driving on every road was a meticulous task, but I still enjoyed it. 
 
I see they added weather here too, which is nice.

@Riboflavin: umm these two were alot different from the older ones its more simulation quality but its street racing and more about exploring the world and finding events that are hidden until you drive on the road where they are located

I don't think the word "meticulous" means what you think it means. You probably mean something like "arduous."
