Love 60s F1 racecars. rFactor 2 is pretty awesome and it's only in beta!

I see what you did thereee.

That's not dubstep :(

That's some budget looking box art.

I still need to play some more GT5.That games great.

Formula cars

They told be rally but didnt show me rally.  Also, this looks pretty crap.

Wait. Is the related videos generated with the use of the word 'dubstep'?

Slightly mad studios had a good thing going with Shift, but I assume EA pushed them to do some of the physics a certain way. I'm interested in this, but the Ferrari only license may be a bit limiting. The test drive brand is kind of shit too. Amazon has it at $40 already though

Darn, was hoping for Test Drive Unlimited 3.

Does substep solely consist of just one track?

Same tune, everywhere!

Relevant:

I'm sure we all know how well Ferrari Challenge Trofeo Pirelli did in 2008 when it came out on the PS3, and I'm sure everyone was just bursting at the seems for another Ferrari solo racing game!

I like the Test Drive series and racing games in general, but a simulator for only Ferraris just doesn't interest me (though having these physics in Test Drive Unlimited would be great). Also, I feel like they don't really know who their audience is by putting dubstep in their trailer, but maybe I'm wrong on that one.

Seems okay but part of the fun with Test Drive Unlimited was the open world, nothing against track/rally races but there's quite more competition in other games there but still could be fun.

Dubstep doesn't really fit this trailer

DON'T BUY A RACING WHEEL!

Oh Gawd I love beautiful racing games! It'll be hard to resist but I should probably just stick with Forza 4 considering how much money I've spent on it. Season Pass plus that Porsche add-on that's coming up.

but DO buy a racing dagger.

Stopped watching from the beginning cos' of the shifty music.

Needs TrackIR support

What a mess, the music does not the trailer at all.

Nothing says classic cars like dubstep.

Probably the most generic-sounding dubstep I've heard. I like everything attributed with it less. It was cool ironically for a bit, now it's grown more powerful than I could ever imagine.

Box art reminds me of Test Drive 5 on the PS1 lol

...and nothing makes me want to get behind the wheel of a 458 more than blasting some wub wub .____.

I'm pretty sure that if there is a Ferrari of music, it's probably some kind of prog rock.

Those old cars sure looks nice.

If only they'd do it right this time. So much promise in TDU1 blown by so much BS in TDU2. They finally had a winning formula and decided to produce a sequel on a freshmen-entry-gamble budget. It's Atari - they don't have the intelligence to commit the resources to make a quality game. They bet small, win little and squander the good ideas they do luck into. This will be a second rate, limited scope racer trying to cash in on brand association. Fact. Save your money for something worthwhile.

But who knows, Raven Squad was awesome, right? right?

Racing a F1 car around Spa and Suzuka .... that sounds awesome .... though, I would just buy the Codemasters F1 game instead.

Not really sure this game is needed.

When will people realize that dubstep trailers don't work if it starts after the drop?

Also, I'll just leave this here:

I have to say, this looks surprisingly good! I remember hearing about it, and thinking wow, that sounds dumb! Like the poor man's TOCA Race Driver. But now, here I am, and wow, it really does look great! Hopefully the handeling is true to form. Test Drive looks to be maybe the new TOCA Race Driver? :);)

For all the bugs TDU2 had, I put a ton of time into that game. There is nothing that compares to it. Open world racing, huge locations with exploration and tons of cars. Too bad they focused on all the social stuff instead of patching it up. Once I got the setting dialed in correctly on my G27, the game was a blast.

Which button causes your Ferrari to burst into flames?

man, i TDU 1 it was great, the second one was crap, and now this...

I hate atari as much as the next disappointed TDU fan, but I figure this game is about as far from their hands as can be. Slightly Mad Studios is a proven racing developer with a great engine, and hopefully Atari just outsourced their Test Drive brand name on the box.

It doesn't have the sheer number of tracks and cars that Forza does, but it's also releasing at a $40 price, at least on Amazon.

I can see dirty french house fitting this trailer more than dubstep. oh wells.

Funny the angst shattered expectations can cause...

I put a ton of time into it too - G27 with a RennSport Wheel Stand. Awesome. And they made soooo many great improvements - excellent wheel & shifter support (check), day/night and weather cycle (how sweet were the really huge lightning and thunder storms!), off road (check), damage model (check...well, close enough), new island (check), old island (f-yeah!), licenses (check...not done right, but check) - recipe for success? CHECK.

But then...

• Shoddy small car selection
• Spread too thin through too many classes
• One best car in each class
• = everyone driving the same car
• DLC cars? No. DLC skins for the few cars in the game? Check.
• Took all of the SP races out of the open world...
• ...and wrapped them in stupid (stupid was a side-thing in TDU1, the whole packaging in TDU2)
• And just managed to make a bigger game feel smaller

They had it sooo right and then...arrows to the fecking knee. With a little focus and money into the car selection and just sticking to what worked in TDU1 for race selection it could have been THE game. With a lot more money and focus...just think what Turn10 could do with this concept?

Being so close and disappointed is worse than just being a crap game, if it was just crap I wouldn't care. As it is I hate Atari with the passion of a woman scorned.

Who wants to race the Ferrari F1 car for this season? Oh that's right no one, not even the Ferrari drivers.

Year of the wub rolls on.

It doesn't compare to the legend of Dubstep.

I'm hoping they never make another TDU.

SMS can make a great racing sim. Sadly, as long as EA have them by the balls we won't get one.

I was just about to say the same thing. The game looks beautiful but the box art doesn't help sell the fact.
