Welcome to Dank Swank, the classiest cavern on the worldwide web.
About that Solar Crown Demo...
With the console beta of Solar Crown up and running, I figured I'd finally share my thoughts on the pre-release builds of the latest game in the Test Drive Unlimited series. How bad are the bugs? Does it really look like a PS2 game? What issues are likely to be fixed by launch and which will haunt the game until its death?

Forza Motorsport 7 is simultaneously a good and a bad game, and while this appraisal of a forgotten 6-year-old racing sim may be coming out well after the game's final curtain call, it remains an important moment for the franchise as a whole. Forza 7 is not only instructive regarding how Forza got to where it is at the end of 2023, bu...

I had more fun with this game than forza horizon 5 even with the bugs and stuff
welp back to AC nohesi I go
After playing the Solar Crown demo I don't think the game will able to compete with a free to play Midnight Racing Tokyo
Im sorry ur video 😂😂😂 yall should just leave test drive alone period frfr stick to playing forza the crew Motorfest or whatever it is yall play bc this ain't for yall spoiled kids 😂😂😂 crying abt its loneliness when at launch the top 3. open world games was fucked up and unplayable but yall clowning this hell how forza been out over 4 yrs and we still in a location nobody ever heard of but its mexico 😂😂😂 and its still empty asf yall praising them bc the game looks good 🤦🏾 its not even a city in forza but I'm sure it's some in Mexico irl 🤷🏾 yall still getting the same bs but to justify they give a bunch of cars u really don't have to work for every 3 months 😂most definitely cant wait for horizon 6 so yall can be British in a japan loction that probably won't look nothing like it😂😂😂 but yall will give it praise bc its FORZA now if u do a fucking side by side game play with Motorfest its not much of a difference Motorfest is AAA so how does TDSC looks more detailed its not cartoonish nor does it have festival stuff all over the map 😂😂😂 like Forza i mean like Motorfest copy and paste.. the only thing Motorfest has that's great is the hand animations/steering that's it should have been a dlc and again that game is lonely and empty asf somehow yall give that shii praise u can't do nothing special with those cars to make it feel like yours 😂😂😂 they did away with the 2 hotels and civilians still got the crap rims, spoilers, etc etc pretty sure you have played it but no matter or how many things they add even with the new map coming its still bs bc its Ubisoft also if yall dk the ppl that worked on tdu1 and 2 are the same ppl that work on the crew hence why the crew 1 was so close to feeling like test drive but look where it has gone😂😂😂 smh again man u should go look at alex7 videos bc yall bashing a old build how do i know it's a old build bc its feels the same as the PC beta when it dropped but they did do small updates so ofc you dk what your talking abt 😂😂😂😂 nor anybody else that haven't played the PC beta... its just funny are yall willing to make apology videos on how wrong yall were abt this game when it comes out?
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I agree. I remember when they first announced this game i immediately went sceptical about the name because it sounds like a spin off of TDU where the lifestyle isn't a priority focus and when they decided to set it in china where that place has no beaches and relaxing atmosphere, i had a feeling that solar crown was going to be shit and i was right
one their promotional screenshots a while back we're literally looked like they're being photoshopped and I'd rather save my laughs for the last when this game already has all the woes within the modern gaming in it's demo state alone, including but not limited to always online, missing content from it's predecessors & locking away demo to those who pre ordered the most expensive editions
What's the song at 7:28 ?
It’s the home space music from Forza Motorsport 6
This was really good. I think you captured most of our thoughts perfectly. The demo made me actually install TDU2 again, as that is a mainstay for me, and I realized that this will not be changing with the release of this title
Where is ur proof it's not changing?
I didn't know it was online only...
Sorry I had to be the one to tell you. If it's any consolation, I'm not exactly happy about it, either...
and it was just insane especially for smaller company like whoever these guys I doubt this game is gonna lived that long in the forseeable future considering their budget, before inevitably become a lost media by that time
Yeah I was thinking about this game for a while and this may be a deal breaker for me. If this is even close to how the game is going to look on release, I’m not buying it.
The physics suck
Always online games feel like almost anything you can "buy" in real life nowadays, you dont buy it, you are just renting (apartment,car etc) until someone/something takes that away from you, games were used to escape reality, yet here we are
Reviewing a game based on its beta demo? 😂😂😂😂😂
Given that THIS is what they put out to advertise the game to its audience, I’d say it’s fair to use this to judge Solar Crown, especially given that a lot of the issues here are just not gonna be fixed by release and that “it’s just a beta” is increasingly becoming little more than a shield from any and all criticism. As Maya Angelou once famously said, “When someone shows you who they are, believe them”
Your analysis of the Demo is spot on and @AlexVII had already proved the more recent version of the game he interacted with, has been improved. We don't currently know how old the demo build is vs the launch version or how much has changed for better or worse, and precisely what touted features are in at launch. TDU2 launch was blighted by dodgy servers and a bug ridden game with missing features from TDU. On top of that players complained about the handling, so it kind of makes sense they may focus on physics and servers first. The story behind TDU2 not fulfilling it's potential is an interesting read and the fault rests firmly at Atari's feet. This story and KT being a small developer, may help people understand the current direction of TDUsc.
@@SyeJenPlus4 Isn't it rather sad that we still don't know what the finished game will contain just a few weeks before release? KT's marketing and communication is just awful. I can't understand how anyone can pre-order a game with so little information in good conscience these days.
@@benn8793 your not wrong, but isn't that the case with a lot of games these days. It seems the harder they try to banish the TDU2 launch problems the more they are creating it's own launch issues. Remember that one of TDU2's problems was it was well ahead of its time and these now industry standards were being set by Eden Games, a small developer. KT will have had a set budget as they are not funded by a Billion dollar company will bottomless CASH. A.J. and a coupe of others were heavily involved in TDU2 and TDU so it's in safe hands, however they have stated they will listen to the community and maybe add improve things based on feedback. They had no plans for houses/garages and due to the feedback that is likely to change.
IMO, tdu solar crown feels soulless and lifeless. It feels like the game was made by robots, not humans or even ai. It feels so nothing if that makes sense
Hey I left a comment in your last tdusc video asking you if you saw a few comments directed to you that vanished shortly after, and you never told me if you did. So please tell me if you saw them.
I never did; RUclips will sometimes automatically delete comments for some unknown reason (even when you tell them not to), so I’m assuming that’s what happened.
ok, thank you for clearing that up
yeah it's bad and disappointing, i would've never thought the game that i was waiting for since 2021 will end up like this unoptimized and unfinished pos.
Did someone complain about the lack of traffic jams in a racing game? Trolls always expose themselves. 🤣🤣🤣
I shouldn’t be driving for half a mile on a highway without seeing ONE OTHER CAR
I play just about all racing games. This one's an open world game. It should have things in the world, else it might as well be in closed race tracks. There are enough of those already. Sometimes I even wish Horizon had more traffic, but in contrast this game looks like it follows an apocalypse.
This is about to become the Cyberpunk of racing games. It will be a miracle if this game even makes a comeback.
Cyberpunk at least had next-gen graphics and lighting. TDU-SC has nothing going for it.
No idea how you can compare this game to Cyberpunk.
As someone whos put 1000+hrs into TDU1 and over 2000+hrs in TDU2 When i booted up the SC demo i was almost in tears at how nothing was good.
The demo feels like a mobile game to me
At least The Crew 1 shut down servers well after the second game was released, offering most of the features and content of the original. TDUSC, I feel, will die like 2 did, quickly and unceremoniously, and with no offline mode it'll just become 100% lost media.
For many players, The Crew 1 was the best game in the series. The two successors can't even begin to keep up. That's why they are not an acceptable replacement...
no wonder why 1 youtuber got pissed off i commented what i commented about this game lol, looks mad fake tbh, GTA 4 looks better then solar crown
7:18 DO A FLIP!!!
I am unfamiliar with Test Drive Unlimited as a franchise and despite hearing others complaining that this borrows too much from Forza Horizon, which I definitely dont mind, this so far is panning out to be the meme "We want Forza Horizon, We have Forza Horizon at home"/looks at TDUSC. I played the PC Demo and I do not have a top of the line PC but I dont have a slouch either and it struggled to play on Medium settings, which is concerning considering I can play Motorfest on High and FH5 on Ultra with no issues. The visuals of this game just do no warrant that kind of resource draw. I was planning on pre-ordering the Gold Edition but after the Demo, I have not pre-ordered anything. They need to have a Free Demo of a FINISHED product and need to stop hiding behind "Not a finished Product, Gameplay not reminiscent of the finished product", we need to see that finished product. I want this game to do well, because I want an Open World Racer for my PS5 other than Motorfest, but from what I played and have seen, this isn't it. The trailers they showed last year to hype the release of this game looked great and then we got the PC demo and it felt like we got the TEMU version of what we were shown. I will still wait and watch to see what happens and make my call after it releases. Who knows, mabye we might have the No Man's Sky of open world racers happening, mabye when the final product is released, it will shut down all of the criticism, but I do not know how optimistic of that happening I am.
This game needs more work at least another year or two.
fix your deadzones to fix responsiveness
His video looked the same as every other I've seen. Dead zones aren't going to limit the steering rotation to 45 degrees either.
cant get over how miserably lifeless the map is, how are you going to have hong kong but empty and desolate😂 and its not a processing power limit cos sleeping dogs on the ps3 nailed it with pedestrians technical streets and traffic and just lifelike feeling
For a game that’s based in Japan you’ll expect more lights and a vibrant atmosphere, and especially an engaging car scene 🤨 I got the gold pre order, the full game better be better! I did immediately think the crew motorfest graphically looks way better, I thought I was just thinking things but it’s true 🤦♂️🤦♂️
*Hong Kong what's with some people whose ability to differenate between Japan & Hongkong we're as adept as modern gaming journalists when it comes to actually playing games?
Why is the map so lifeless? Los Angeles in MCLA on ps3 and xbox 360 had more life than this, Almost 0 traffic, no pedestrian. Like compare TDU SC Hong Kong map to sleeping dogs and holy shit, this looks like a lifeless piece of crap😂
I hope to god it launches like no mans Considering how many updates it kept adding to this day
yeah, but that is also assuming it lasts long enough to get those updates, I am amazed at the Pheonix-like rise that NMS had, but that is an exceptional example, nothing has come back from the fire like NMS has.
@@skyraiser9 nms was and still is insane , they havent even begun drying up
@@JJARCHIE I know and it is insane, I just got back into the game after not playing for over a year and it is mind-blowing how much the game has improved since its launch
@@skyraiser9 " hey we have money , take it " " No. Heres 20 more free major updates "
@@JJARCHIE yeah, i dont get how they can afford to keep doing that. Heck, I bought No Man's Sky twice, I have it on Playstation and on PC. It is one of the few games that I can get lost in playing and next thing I know, its several hours later before realizing it.
Your dealership comment hit home. I was hoping they’d revamp with the ability to be more personal. Brake calipers, maybe even actual packages like weissach from Porsche, etc. You’ve made a well grounded and fair video. I’m disappointed they couldn’t at least update the beta further, but sure, I guess the manpower isn’t available to do it. On that note, they SHOULD offer a free trial once the games out (with progress able to carry over), especially as I assume even the next beta will be the same build lol. However that being said, there are still things ‘missing’ and needing improvements. I do hope KT and Nacon and prove over the time after the game launches that they can make this game into something that can make the conversion of ‘is this a true TDU game?’ become obsolete. Hoping for the best man; I mean I’ve always been optimistic anyway hahaha
I thought the characters and character animation looked better in TDU2.
7:18 Traffic car doing tricks lol
Test Crew Horizon: Always Drive Alone
😂😂😢😢
subbed in 30 seconds now to see if that was worth it
I loved TDU 1 and 2. I was very excited when TDU SC was announced. But as time went on, we discovered more and more flaws. And I'm not talking about the graphics. I couldn't care less about the graphics. There's just not enough TDU in this TDU for me. Plain and simple. Offline mode, houses, licence tests, all the little side missions from the old games... And before someone comes along again and says that these things will come at some point. That's exactly why gaming is in such a pathetic state these days. Sell today, fix later. And so many people fall for it. And if the game doesn't even have any of the features of its 13-year-old predecessor, you can hardly say that expectations are too high, can you?
Thanks for the video. Very well made. It's such a shame, I've been looking forward to "TDU3" for so long, and now that it's here I have very little hype for it.
😂😂 we won't miss u
I didn’t waste my time with this game, it looks like a less good The Crew 2
Since this game is heavily focused on Always Online, what pisses me off the most is that it requires an PS plus subscription just to play TDUSC! This game is a hard pass and i don't give 2 sh*ts of the fan base who are defending this buffoonery!
Need to pay 100$ to rent a game and then 10$ every month after 💀
even with any arguments related to The Crew and video game preservation in general being thrown out of the window, getting disconnected in the middle of the race, or having your eyes being greeted with prompt screen after prompt screen related to faulty internet after doing literally anything doesn't sound like fun to me and (probably) everyone else either
So u didn't play The Crew ? Stop ur fucking crying abt online play when there's 30+ games that's always online did you go complain to them? If no stfu bc the going with the flow of shii I swear this generation is weak asf cry abt everything 😂😂
sinceramente te voy a ser claro, tan claro que te voy a hablar en español, el juego te avisa 3 veces que esta en constante trabajo y es UNA BETA, comparar test drive con juegos AAA es medio tonto, comenzando con the crew motorfest, los colores y texturas son opacas y lo que biene siendo vida natural es horrible comparada con test drive, aparte el sistema de dinero es tan dificil de conseguir que el propio juego quiere que gastes tu dinero dentro del juego haciendolo como un pay to win medio descarado (aparte que ubisoft mato el primet the crew y probablemente este tmb), forza horizon 5, el juego de los niños, lleno de cheaters, bugs, crasheos y mas que nada, fisicas de plastilina y con un sistema de audio de autos horrible, por favor no me vuelvas a comparar este juego que actualizaron hasta la demo de pc y arreglaron las fisicas, bugs, crasheos, carreras para que los usuarios de consola puedan disfrutarlo y testearlo mas, es una empresa AA, no esperes mas, no es ATARI, es uno de sus primeros juegos a esta escala, y vas y los comparas con fh5 y tcm, UNA BETA, hablaste sin informacion nueva y mal, hay que ser pesimista, a y recuerda, es un arcade/sim-cade, solo digo que a la proxima directamente hablando asi de mal, sigas jugando fh5 o otros juegos sobre valorados 👍
It is compared to Forza Horizon and The Crew because that is the competition, that is what is it literally competing with. The only pay things in Motorfest is vanities, they do not help you win, there is no pay to win here. And the "You cant blame the game because this is a BETA" argument is old and tired. BETA, DEMO, Shareware, ETC does not matter, it is the first interaction that most players will have with the product, so you want to put your best foot forward and intended or not, the poor outing of those is turning alot of ppl off. It is the cold hard truth. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, you liking the game does not invalidate other opinions.
The "this is a work in progress" defense is little more than a rhetorical shield from criticism at this point, especially considering that several recent games with far greater resources at their disposal have released in a similarly broken states barely improved from their beta builds. With this in mind, it's hardly silly to compare Solar Crown to "AAA" games like Forza and The Crew, especially considering that Solar Crown's own game director did exactly that, literally stating "We are competitors with GTA6, Forza, and The Crew". I'm pessimistic with good reason; this industry is one in which a company is directly incentivized to put their best foot forward in presenting a game, and given that THIS is the best they could do in the leadup to release, it certainly doesn't bode well. I'm sure that a lot has been improved in the game since this build, but it's safe to say there is a LOT left to fix and that most of it is likely to remain at launch, especially since most of what is wrong with this game is in the form of missing features and foundational issues synonymous with its status as a live service. Also, if you really feel like I'm some Horizon 5 fanboy, I implore you to watch my in-depth review of the game where I am certainly critical -> ruclips.net/video/7XgNOZyE0wE/видео.html
This dude didn't watch the video and only focus on the dumb "work in progress" excuse 🤡. Fanboys are worst
the original tdu inspired many titles like forza horizon and the crew, tdusc looks like the devs tried to copy fh and crew instead of trying something new.
The Crew not only was inspired by TDU, most of the team behind the game worked on TDU previously.
@@Soxynos yes thats true
I wonder how old the console demo is compared to the PC demo....
the settings show 50Hz but the video on RUclips is 60fps... (and RUclips support both, so.... stuttering?)
Forgot to get a screenshot after adjusting the settings (I did eventually get it to 60 but I can assure you the gameplay experience was still pretty stuttery and choppy)
Great video
I will say, if somebody who really enjoyed the beta, I do agree with you that it would be nice to see them expand on the personalization available to the players in the dealership menu. It would be nice to be able to spec out the cars like you were able to in real life, like carbon, ceramic breaks transmission options, as well as other factory or OEM plus parts that you can order from the dealership would be a nice addition
Absolutely!
Main killer for me is that they are not adding houses
Can careless about a house... I want part customization like nfs payback.
@@dgxxtreme Why not just play NFS Payback then?
@@dgxxtreme oh nah not yo ass dont think anyone forgot
@@dgxxtremeTDU is not about visual customization Why do you people want TDUSC to be like every other open world racer on the market?
@@dgxxtremeI'm more concerned with the fact that it's always online, and you'd think smaller company like KT/Nacon could afford to keep the servers alive in the long run, much less for them to be able to brought up the promised offline mode at the end of the game's lifespan
This is so sad. So, so sad.
Well articulated crticism. The demo was atleast a 6 month old build, so Im sure much of what you mentioned are improved or known of.
I'm sure a lot if it is improved, but taxis are still doing kickflips in the beta atm 🛹
@dankswank9088 beta is still on build v1.0.43.1, which is almost the same build as the pc demo. Thus build is atleast 6 months old. The release build and demo build are separate branches.
I have heard someone say that the PC Beta was at least a year old build. I am not sure of where they heard that, I am vaguely remembering that they said the Dev had said that in a blog post.
@Kortex_Racing I don't understand what they don't get abt that but then again they didn't play the PC beta so Hyder like the guy woke made this video is clueless to the difference 😂😂
@@dankswank9088u really should do more research and go watch alex7 videos frfr
This is what I waited for
Sorry you had to wait so long (brief explanation on the latest community post if you're interested)
What's more hilarious is people defending the game saying that the demo was on an older build, but that's the same bs excuse every bad game dev uses, and when their game releases, it's always the same result.
Did you see Alex’s new vid? 😅😅
2 weeks after the demo ended alex7 got access to a build that had noticeably better handling and plenty of other bug fixes. Pretty “hilarious”.
Saw Alex's new vid?
@@Kortex_Racing y'know I haven't watched his or any other video on the console beta yet because I wanted to share my actual thoughts on the game without inadvertently parroting something I heard someone else say on another video. Knowing his content, I'm sure it's going to take a far more positive stance on this whole situation (highlighting all the bugs that have been fixed and how much smoother it runs, etc), but I'll give it a look regardless.
@@milkyy4168 Honestly it is kinda funny (and tragic) that a better version of the game was just shy of being available when the demo came out given what a sour impression the demo left in our collective mouths. The entire experience of this game, from its vague cgi announcement in 2020 to its botched gameplay reveal in 2023 to the announcement that it would be an always online live service has played like a checklist of everything NOT to do when making and advertising an open world racer; as a lifelong fan of the franchise, this entire experience has been painful to watch.
My biggest issues going into the PC version of the demo were the lack of an offline single-player career mode, which the previous two Test Drive Unlimited games had, and the small size of the map. (I don't care if the TDU version of Oahu was mostly empty with just a few dozen repeating buildings outside of a handful of unique locations and the houses, it was still a joy to drive around the vast map.) I still enjoyed exploring the parts of the TDU:SC map, especially the hills, but I miss the rural long straights. My biggest problem, though, was that if I was driving fast on the few stretches of highway that let you get up to the higher end of the speedometer, sometimes the game would freeze for a few seconds while textures and buildings in the next area were loading. Granted, I'm only playing on an NVidia GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card from 2016 but this was happening even on lower settings at lower resolutions and this is a graphics card that can handle Forza Horizon 4 without any issues. I'm already not inclined to buy a game with forced multiplayer (I didn't bother with the actual racing in the demo since I'm not interested in multiplayer) but, even if I still decide to buy it, I'm going to wait a while until whatever issues there might be in the release version are ironed out.
I'm just amazed that you managed to get it running at all on a non-RTX card lol! Well-articulated points made tho; online-only is (save for the very real abuse individual developers suffer in the game industry) the worst problem facing gaming today
Already refunded it’s a shame that they are using the test drive unlimited legacy name
I also have a GTX 1080 OC, I managed to achieve 28 fps on medium settings during the beta on PC...
@@Kultowy-97 I didn't have a problem with the framerate at lower settings, just the freezing when the next part of the map was being loaded in, which mostly happened on the highway.
@@abbasaltimimi5001its not the same company how yall not getting that atleast they keeping some of it features and added some 🤷🏾
