Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown Gameplay Walkthrough Part 1 - What A Mess...

This is the PS5 version of TDUSC to start, I have since switched to PC as the performance mode is a bit of a joke. Ignoring the server issues... can't say I didn't warn them!

[flavioa]

I’ll buy the game in a year when there is houses and garages

[brizzblue]

notice how theo more happy that his character look 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝓼𝓱 than the whole game

[FranquitoMV]

Test Drive Limited, where you cant drive at all

[doomshead]

2:17 ferrari going at 144 kph in neutral, GOTY confirmed....

[cementbox]

I don’t buy games day one because I’m Cheap AF, but the issues getting fixed later is a bonus. Balanced mode is all I choose.

[jamesfreir]

absolute shambles, spent my hard earned money to play the game early only to spend hours not getting in the game and then when i got in and somehow finally completed a race it disconnects after the race so i get no money for it, brilliant just what i wanted.

I can see why many are nostalgic about the 1990s and 2000s in terms of gaming, as developers needed to make a quality game at launch date as the technology to update games, especially on early game consoles, was quite limited. So you essentially need to have a quality game right from the get go, or it will be a sales flop. Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown is an example of how the gaming industry is right now. Launch a game that is full of bugs, issues, and missing content, and then patch it later with online updates. The fact that it is online only is also a disappointment, especially if the servers eventually shut down like The Crew.

Tbh I would rather to play the TDU 2 with the World mod, which adds new cars, changes the physics and basically modernizes the game, Theo you should play it and compare both of them.

"Congratulations!"
*CONNECTION ERROR

The timing was perfect.

Currently I am in a queue of 526 waiting to log in to a game I paid £74 to play early. Shocking.. whoever decided for always online what a bad decision it was.

[roberts]

You're telling me I've spent £80 on the gold edition just to be greeted with "failed to log in to platform" with a waiting queue up to 5k people? I get down to the last 9 and I'm greeted with a communication error? Embarrassing.

[ROLLINGFANATICS]

On steam, many of us can’t even download the Gold edition 😂😂

[JackFoxtrotEDM]

Y'all still bought it and complained it has issues. That's why I didn't buy it. The industry has been like this for a decade, everything's either rushed or borderline unplayable. Continuing to spend vast amounts of money, especially on preorders and deluxe editions, and then being somehow surprised that it wasn't what you expected, it's kind of self-inflicted at this point. I miss the days of buying a game on release and having minimal to no issues with it. Especially back in the day of the Xbox and PS2, you didn't have day one patches. You HAD to have a great game on release, because if you had anything game breaking, then you basically just printed hundreds of thousands of useless discs.

And even "indie developers" and "small studios" excuses can only go so far, too.

No thanks, I'll stick to the original Horizon 1 and 2 and TDU 1 and 2, and definitely The Crew 1 when that becomes playable again. I have no interest in anything that came out after that era. I'm fine with "missing out", because I know all of my older games continuously give me a rich, fulfilling, and polished experience through and through. I don't need the latest and greatest to experience that.

[Billi-rkjh]

Why are games constantly being treated like this it’s like developers are making their games soulless on purpose

[AALIENZZ_RACER]

They just need better optimization for both PC and consoles, that's the first thing they should fix! 30~50fps is unacceptable in 2024...

[generalshakewell]

I would buy this if they made a commitment to release an offline patch at end of life.

[flawedandnotperfect]

From Anna of Forza Horizon to Cara of Crews Motorfest now we got Alyssa of Solar Crown Unlimited

[williamjr]

Always online killed it for me. If it had an offline mode and then you can have the option of being online like the original game.

[ld]

This was supposed to be the game that pulls me away from Forza Horizon 😭..come on Nacon. Where is the soul?

[teddypelzl]

That opening race with the orange hurucan is taking me back straight to Forza Horizon 2's opening race and I'm all for it, amidst all the issues with the game right now
