Rumour: Test Drive Unlimited 2 To Use CryEngine3

After checking out the new Test Drive Unlimited 2 shots my attention was captivated by some of these images, I quickly realised the similarities between the images shown at the 2009 Game Developers Conference of CryEngine 3. Some of these images shown contain hints that this engine may be used for the development of Test Drive Unlimited 2 such as

 

• Integrated vegetation and terrain cover generation system

 

• Road & river tools

 

• Real time dynamic global illumination

 

• Deferred lighting, Natural lighting and dynamic soft shadows

 

• Volumetric layer & view distance fogging

 

• Dynamic volumetric light beams & light shaft effects

 

These features have all been heavily worked on for CryEngine3, some are even exclusive to this engine and have never been done before. It would be a great to see this game developed with this engine as it would help provide the perfect setting that would be ideal for this sandbox on and off road racer.

dar del idomumo galima pasakyt kad tie concept artai yra tik 2 dienu senumo,taigi visai sviezi,o tie tipo in game yra 106 dienu senumo jau.

na tai kad offrodas,bet manau kurejo mintys yra apie tai kad padaryt open world toki,na kad ir namai butu,ir uzmiescio keliai su purvais ,su misko keliais ir pan dalykais,aisku kurejai visada nori daug taciau turi apsiriboti tuom ka galima padaryt,bet tikimes kad bs geriau nei pirma dalis,ir tas jau gerai,siaip pirma dalis buvo labai gera,tik gal valdymas kiek nevisai buvo toks koks galejo buti,bet aplamai tai buvo pirmas zaidimas mano zaistas ant next gen su pilnu vaizdu is vidaus,ir tai buvo geriausia,garsas buvo labai geras,ypac muscle caru.neabejotinai bus geras zaidimas vien del to kad niekas kitas nekuria tokio tipo zaidimu daugiau

Test Drive 2 Detailed

Atari announced Test Drive 2 a little while back, but whilst we swiftly followed the announcement with the news that the game would be featured on the island of Ibiza, since then it has all gone quiet. Until today, mind, because European magazine GameReactor has a big feature on the open-world racer and a translation has rolled in off the hills.

 

“One of the unique aspects of Test Drive Unlimited,” says the translation, “was the enormous game-world. More than 1500 kilometres of road was available to drive on, located on Oahu in Hawaii. This feels like nothing compared to Test Drive Unlimited 2 which is a whole 2.5 times bigger and is based on the Spanish island of Ibiza, mostly known for its gigantic beach parties.”

 

One of the reasons Ibiza was chosen was the variation in the environment. There will be dense forests, big mountains, ruins and modern cities.

 

“The big news this time is that you this time will be able to compete together with buddies in co-op. One person is the map-reader and will steer the driver through the courses, which will give a massive advantage if you manage to negotiate the road in a good way. Otherwise much is what it used to be, you can cruise along the Ibiza streets and challenge someone to a bit of racing when you wish.”

 

We’re told the multiplayer lobby has been replaced with a system that lets you explore your opponent’s vehicles before the race. The end result, apparently, feels like an online role-playing game, with car clubs competing for kudos but mixed with others just cruising the streets. The game will now feature SUVs, too.

 

“To get anywhere in TDU 2 you need money,” continues the report, “but there is also a system with experience points divided into four sections. If you’re not a rally-ace, maybe you’re better at the social part and get your coveted points that way. So in a nutshell, you can reach success, both by daredevil driving, by being chased by the police or just by staying alive.”

 

“There is not a square centimetre of Ibiza that you can’t drive on.”
