I mean the PSP port was amazing and the whole game just felt unlike any other racing game I had ever played. It was as good as the marketing was making it out to be. Once I had the game it immediately drew me in. Then I saw the PSP version of TDU on Amazon and it just garnered my interest. I got a psp for Christmas 2007 and was looking for some games to play with that thing. TDU2 was fun, but my experience tarnished by the poor launch and poor support Eden put in post-launch. Eden Games (devs) were in dispute with Atari (pubs) and about a year after launch went out of business. I traded it back in to get my money back.Ħ-9 months later I picked it up from the bargain bin to try again, and by then it was stable online and in a better state, but for many gamers the damage was done and they'd moved on to other games. So bad in fact they had to disable all online for the first month. Promoted as being a social online game, race with your friends, cruise the two islands, be part of a club - and the online servers just crashed and burned. TDU2 unfortunately had a disaster of a launch. Now they lead the genre as we wait to see what KT can produce with Solar Crown. Looking back now it is easy to draw parallels with Forza Horizon or The Crew as open world racers, but you have to realise that when TDU was made, none of those other series existed. I enjoyed working my way up through the ranks to Ace, then focused on leaderboard times, eventually setting times on every combination of race and class. My first few days were just exploring the island, driving every road and unlocking the map. I hope the actual development is still alive. 2nd game was a disappointment, but if I could go back in time I would still buy it. It also gave me all the motivation I needed to abandon the consoles and upgrade my Computer. Built a new PC, with a 512mb GPU, to finally run my loved game at a decent quality. Some day, pushing the PC to it's limits trying fallout 3, it burnt out. Played for some time at the lowest settings (19-26fps), but still was so beautiful. All I could buy was a 128mb GPU and some memory ram, which was enough to run TDU when it was released for PC. Well, that made me invest on my old PC (from 2000, probably a Windows Millennium). it was all so amazing.Īfter some time my Xbox showed the 3 red lights of death, and since I imported it from USA I had to send it all the way back there to have the replacement. First person camera, the way rolling windows down changed the engine noise. While saving I wasted hours watching gameplays on YouTube. Took me 1 year saving money to finally have my own Xbox 360 and a TDU1 copy. Two of them drove me crazy: TDU1 and Dead Rising 1. He didn't had any game yet, but had a lot of demos installed. He was busy doing something and told me to enjoy it while. He had a Xbox 360, back then it was brand new and very expensive. It was a long time ago, in a friends house.
