Yep just noticed that GT7 says 'online play optional' and this says 'online play required'.
Let's be honest. This game has a definite expiration date, and that date is whenever Forza Horizon 6 is officially announced.Nothing from what I’ve seen so far, clips and all, has convinced me that Nacon will support this game beyond a couple of years at the most. That quote from the Belgium article claiming a decade’s worth of support a la GTAO is ridiculous.
Emmm no? I like Forza Horizon don’t get me wrong but first of all, not everyone likes festive atmosphere of Horizon and secondly if FH6 isn’t going to be multiplatform release (PS5 included) the TDU still has a great chance.Let's be honest.

Unless I’m completely misunderstanding the previews it says the races are all vs other players - the only AI opponents are to fill in unused spots in those - so they would require PS Plus. The only solo activities seem to be exploration/finding collectable parts, etc.I haven't done much research about this game because I'm going to want for a big discount before I consider buying (or whatever the term is if the game will eventually become unplayable) it, but I have played The Crew 2 some without Playstation + and while it always requires an online connection, the ps+ is only needed to race other players. Other players still show in free roam, on leaderboards and the AI can still be raced against.
TDU has no chance, not just against Forza but The Crew as well. The festival atmosphere isn't for everyone but I think everyone would rather take that than PVP online only. Horizon is a system seller.Emmm no?

Probably not, because the game has a system that fills the free spaces with AIs on every race, perhaps with that they can make it so that PS+ or Xbox Gold is not necessary to play the game and it could be played completely alone as if it were like a Crew game.Hang on so to play it on playstation you need a ps plus subscription?
Xbox sales figures would suggest otherwiseHorizon is a system seller.
He still has a point. I bought a XBone only for Horizon 3. After 4 years without touching any game. Same with Gran Turismo. Players are willing to buy an Xbox or PlayStation just for those games. I would probably never buy a console for any other racing game. Ok, maybe PGR.Xbox sales figures would suggest otherwise
Think how bad they would have been without it then.😉Xbox sales figures would suggest otherwise
There is a lot of informtation crusing around internet about Xbox going full multiplatform. Next Horizon on PS5 isn't totally unrealistic, lets wait untill everything clears out.Think how bad they would have been without it then.😉
Which would be the death knell for TDU. If it ever gets going.There is a lot of informtation crusing around internet about Xbox going full multiplatform. Next Horizon on PS5 isn't totally unrealistic, lets wait untill everything clears out.
Yes. If this happens then yes.Which would be the death knell for TDU. If it ever gets going.
Well yeah, but only on PS5 and even then it won't make any waves to worry Forza anyway.Yes. If this happens then yes.
But if it remains xbox only, there is a chance for TDU on PS5
4K ULTRA-REALISTIC RTX 4090 GRAPHICS OVERHAULNot to mention most of the gameplay I’ve seen seems to have perpetually wet roads like it’s one of those horribly oversaturated GTA 5 Raytracing shader packs
It runs pretty poorly.Any demo impressions?
Very interesting of KT to shadow drop a demo. Cool though, wish more games would do this prior to release. Hoping for a console demo/beta too please!
Are the racing events playable vs. AI? I mean I know it's an MMO but I love being able to practice.It runs pretty poorly.
1080p high with dlss quality cannot hit 60 (roughly 50, dips to 30) on a Ryzen 5 5600 + Nvidia RTX 2070 Super with 24 GB of ram running from a SATA SSD which should be close to the performance of a PS5.
collisions with destructible objects like fences and lampposts are wildly inconsistent, sometimes not slowing you down, sometimes bouncing and sometimes flipping the car
The handling model is quite decent, and consistent compared to NFS Unbound and Motorfest. Cars that start spinning usually cannot be recovered. Traction control at 50% or above is recommended. It is definitely simcade, but not as cohesive, consistent and natural feeling as any forza horizon.
The feed back on an XSX controller only happens when you car has almost spun out, or you are hitting a curb or going offroad. Not enough of it is there to tell you whether you are about to slide.
The driver cam is not great as animations for steering are abrupt and limited to 45 degrees either side.
Curbs are mighty dangerous and act like Monza's sausages at times.
AI is either rubberbanding hard or is desynced a lot with the servers. Not sure which.
traffic density is as low as horizon which is odd for a city based Map (dont expect any pedestrians)
Map is genuinely great through and through. The city actually feels like a real city (because it is). It's a shame that graphics let that the graphics are maybe slightly better than the first crew. The reflections are definitely broken. The game looks better with them on low.
There doesn't seem to be much to do other than circuit, sprint and domination races. Haven't tried domination yet. There are speed traps sprinkled about the map. FRIM lets you make small amounts of money by driving fast, drifting and near misses etc.
The showrooms kinda feel very generic and more like some sort of art installation. Kind of expected them to be more properly themed around the type of cars they sell.
The currency is not hard to come by. A simple 2-3 min race nets you about 20k.
However the cars are pretty inflated in price. A mustang GT 2018 is somewhere close to 150k. A Taycan CrossTurismo is 1.4 million. An M4 Competition is 750k. The new A110 is about 100k.
Lot of loading screens between race. Not very long, but they are not hidden. They are black screens with the solar crown logo at the centre.
Dont expect much in terms of external customization. Its basically only rims. The interior customization is nice with different color choices, but not close to what motorfest offers.
The car list is weird because a lot of cars are also in TDU2, mixed with a few brand new ones. So you have a 370z and an Abarth 500 racing against 2018 mustangs and Alpine A110.
The car sounds are pretty good.
Test drove an R35 Gt-R (2008) and it had horrendous body roll (not unlike a taxi in GTA 4). The 370Z starter, seemed fine on the other hand.
Have to say that there a lot of real buildings are replaced with generic ones.
I don't see much depth to this game so far. The map is pretty much the only reason to keep playing. But will play it as much as i can till the end of the demo, just to see whether everything else grows on me.
This is a nitpick but the radio is pretty much all English. Have not heard anything resembling local so far.
Seems like people playing alone are having trouble starting races (as it cannot find other players for whatever reason). I don't think there is any option to start a race purely against ai.Are the racing events playable vs. AI? I mean I know it's an MMO but I love being able to practice.
