15:36 At the risk of repeating myself, do not harass any of the content creators or developers mentioned in this video. It's one thing to express criticism on your own channel; it's another entirely to bully someone on theirs.
Finally common sense
Tdu 2006 for me all the way. Just hearing the menu music brings back the beach vibes of Oahu.
This has got to stop! We pay for a game , It's ours till we sell it,Online is acceptable but not Necessary for playing the Basic game....Fix this Ivory Tower,10 and EA....😮🎉❤
man this content is great. God bless you man. I hope your Bible reading it going well.
This is who I was waiting for. Let's fucking Go👄👁👄🔥🔥🔥
🚀🚀🚀
the issue now is i am talking just open world racing games…no one wants to grind anymore. there was an interview online from alain jarniou saying that he didn’t like forza horizon’s wheelspin because how easy it is to win a supercar after buying the game. this video was very informative and i was unaware that nacon/KT are considering microtransactions for different aspects.
for gaming in general, i stopped focusing on gaming after seeing the popularity of fortnite where everyone has this status symbol online they don’t have in real life through microtransactions (purchasing skins or weapons). it was at the point i remember in school years ago that everyone was addicted and purchasing real money just to have some type of approval.
i thought tdusc was going to convince me but i will rather spend my money on something more reasonable. sorry for the long reasoning.
Alain was right about those wheelspins tho, after FH2 the wheelspins were literal crap just like FH4 and DBD themselves.
I’m truly disappointed that Test drive is going to be like this. I was planning on getting it on the switch but I’m not so sure 😢
Honestly, assuming that it won't be canceled, we would suggest you avoid the Switch version if you have the option of a current-gen console or PC to play it on (or are willing to wait until that option is affordable). Unless KT racing (or whatever third-party company Nacon decides to hire for porting the game) manages to achieve the most impressive Switch conversion in history, it's probably going to be a pretty crappy version of the game.
criminally underrated channel
Yep, give this lad 100k subs
Awesome vid people ,yea it’s sad how every racer nowadays is always online ,makes me appreciate Driveclub /nfs heat and the original TDU games more
Thoughts on Alex VII latest video about the crew shutting down and about TDUSC online only?
I never know what to think when it comes to Alex. He didn't seem to have a problem with always online and online only until then. So I'm not sure whether he really understood the problem or whether he just wants to ride a wave...
That final monologue was a CLASS ACT. Respect. Hope Alex V gets the message.
Probably not, you can’t talk sense into that guy. Dude will go down with tdu sc if he has to. If he actually wanted what’s best for the game he’d accept criticism and not dismiss everyone who had something negative to say about the game. He was literally deleting comments on Reddit that said anything remotely bad about tdu sc
@@Midnightvq He posted a comment and I responded. I admit I might have been a bit snarky at times, but I hope he can see past that to understand why I said what I said and better understand both the rift within this community and the issues with the game that are (at least partially) its underlying cause.
@@dankswank9088 i could see why you would get like that though. He dismisses anyone who has anything bad to say about the game. All his counter arguments seem like excuses. He tells us he has played the game running 4K 60fps, my question is why tf wouldnt they show that over the embarrassment they presented to us. Also that excuse of the room was too hot is such bs. He should be the first one to bring up these problems not sit there lying to us doing KT racing’s damage control for them
@@Midnightvq I never heard the "room too hot" defense lmao please post the link that's hilarious
@@dankswank9088 ruclips.net/user/livefi6cJ9i3pNo?feature=share this is his tdu connect livestream I’m not sure what exact minute it was but he kept stating the reason for the bad frame drops was that the room was too hot
The amount of damage control (especially) by Alex on the subreddit is disgusting. Anything that is a valid concern or criticism is met with anger and reasoning of "just an alpha bro," "they aren't a big studio, they don't have the budget," "you're a FH fanboy," or as Alex has told me personally, "you just don't know about the game, I can't say anything but you're wrong." I have been a fan of Test Drive since clamshell PS1, and it's sad to see what we were shown. It may not be the final version, it may be an alpha, but it isn't far off from the final product we will get. And to those who think we will get houses after launch, I can't express to them how silly it is. Maybe sometime far into the future. Maybe.
THANK YOU for being truthful and calling out the BS surrounding what was to be a promising game.
Before I even engage in this conversation. You qoute me saying 'Alex has told me personally, "you just don't know about the game, I can't say anything but you're wrong."'. So hold on, where was this even from? LMAO I never said anything like that. I also leave a lot of posts that have constructive criticism. Why guys just like to make shit up because my opinion isn't like yours, and it never will be. When you all end up wrong, I cant't wait to get the apology I'll never get
@@TheAlexVIIdude you were literally on stream deleting comments that said anything remotely bad about tdusc. Also I’ve heard from someone who has played it and they told me the highest fps he managed to get was 15fps. Unacceptable.
@@Midnightvqthat’s messed up as heck.
@@Midnightvq It'll get ironed out by launch (I hope) 😬😬😬
@@dankswank9088it's only beta, we still have months till launch!!!/cope
how is this video back up? (not that I’m complaining)
Great video, hope alex responds. But then again I’ve already tried getting it through to him that the game needs a lot more work than he wants to admit
GOOD NEWS: He responded
BAD NEWS: He responded
@@dankswank9088 where did he respond?
@@Midnightvq It's visible when sorted by newest first; I just finished my response to his comment (I know you already know this but please avoid replying to him unless you can be civil)
@@dankswank9088 yea I’ll chill out I don’t have anything against him. I’m more mad at the devs who had an extra year to present this game to us and now even more if the game isn’t completely canceled.
@@Midnightvq TBH if anyone is to blame, it's probably Nacon; KT seems like they genuinely want to make a great game but are constantly thrown under the bus by a publisher that pushes unrealistic deadlines and unwanted "features" like microtransactions and live service requirements.
Update!
Someone posted this video in the TDU3 Sub. It lasted 41 minutes before Alex removed it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Surprised it wasn't taken down immediately tbh
Me too, I just saw it a few minutes ago and now it's gone. There were comments about "I'm not watching that clickbait," and "not this again we already went through this." And the always favorite "I'm waiting til this game comes out, it's not going to be bad." :)
I didn't remove it, automoderator did due to spam. Maybe if people didn't report the post, and the title and the body would have been better, automoderator wouldn't have picked it up. But see you lot run to say I hide stuff. Love it!
@@Jambalaya1337 sounds about right for a gaming subreddit
Bro what is this weird drama going on there? Is it just a glue sniffing lead drinking asbestos breathing reddit thing, or is the community for this not yet released game already cancer?
Finally someone being honest with dignity and have the balls to speak to this truth. ✊
What I find ironic about the issue of driving games is playing the demo of The Crew Motorsport. A game I had NO hope of being anything close to what I want to test cars out with my expensive driving wheel and computer. But when I drove my AC Cobra into some deep sand it got stuck. I couldn't believe someone actually made a open world driving simulator that simulated real world physics. I still have my fears that they'll somehow mess it up before launch, or WW3 will happen. It still gave me hope. P.S. You can turn down the tire grip levels in The Crew. Which makes it that much more realistic, and may have accounted for my sports car not driving like an off-road buggy.
TBH I don't need realism, and Motorfest pandered to FH stans way too much tbh
Is The Crew Motorfest is online only too?
@@vovazagach1781 Beta of Motorfest was normally playable to me when my Live Gold ended so at least Beta was
Anyway, they were just pandering to FH stans who are unsatisfied with anything
@@vovazagach1781yeah it is
It’s sad to see a game that was once so ahead of its time have graphics that are sub par at best, and that’s not even the worst part the physics also look extremely simplified and too arcade like. But the developers also seem to lack understanding in what players want, like not showing a single dealership or character role play options in the trailer
Personally, I didn't have a problem with the visuals; sure when you look at some of the buildings they look like cardboard boxes with textures plastered to them, but given how many graphical improvements can occur between the alpha and launch builds, it's safe to say the finished game will look much nicer (compare the sea of thieves gameplay demo from E3 2016 to the final version of the game to see what I mean). As for the handling, it does look floaty and weird a lot of the time, but I once again feel like this is a product of the alpha state of the game and is almost certain to be drastically improved by KT Racing before launch (they did make the WRC games, so they clearly have a deep understanding of driving physics). That said, I agree with you that it is worth mentioning these issues with the current build of the game to ensure that they are addressed, especially given how Nacon seems determined to rush the game out the door before it is finished.
I would also say Nacon is a large part of the reason the game feels a bit off in terms of being a "true" TDU game; the devs probably do know to a large degree what the players want in Solar Crown, but a lot of their ability to implement those features are at the mercy of the publisher's own desires (desires that often conflict with those of both the developer and the players).
@@dankswank9088 Cardboard boxes with textures plastered to them. LMAO!
@@pktrsho6055 they do tho lol
@@dankswank9088 yeah you are probably right about launch improvements but I really don’t think they will be drastic as in it won’t look as good as forza… probably not really close to it either. But I think what you mentioned about how they are rushing things is more concerning, like no houses at launch is a massive shortcut and a very important feature so if they are willing to take that shortcut just to get the game out that is really not promising
TBH I'd play an Arcade game
RUclips has far too many embellishers and cheerleaders these days. They are so desperate for likes and views that you just cannot trust what they say anymore. And that is exactly why I have been waiting for Swank to drop some Dank on these fools. You, as far as I'm concerned, are a national treasure in this ever more silly world of creators shilling and nut hanging instead of telling the truth.
Looks like you've missed Saints Row and FH playerbases on YT it's ten times worse
It's not just RUclips. People for some reason love online only while it literally means the devs pirate the game from you when they will turn of the servers in a few years.
Bro if this is online only I'm gonna get so mad. It's too easy to make the next tdu game good. Basically tdu paradise with getter looks, even more cars and a better map would make everyone happy.
agree with every opinion in this video
It's great to hear we aren't alone! Thank you!
If this is how this game will be released, it will flop big time. Nobody will play it anymore, might be poppular for a couple of months, a year if they're lucky, but after that, players will get fed up with it, & move on to another game. This is just sad. Such a great game with such potential, only to fall flat on its face for pure greed, just to please abunch of suit wearing shareholders. I'll be watching this game when it releases, & i cant wait to see it flop upon release with negative reviews.
Still relevant.
Yes you have to think about investors and share holders too but. YOU JUST CANT FORGET AND NOT LISTEN TO A COMMUNITY THAT GIVES U THAT SHARE HOLDERS AND INVESTORS.
exactly
(looking at Playground Games and Rockstar)
Balanced video. I'd subscribe if your content was more focused on racing games.
bruh that's like half of our content let us have some Resident Evil as a treat 😭
@@dankswank9088 What can I say I'm a connoisseur lol
MICROTRANSACTIONS... they went the same way as DBD/Payback and crappy FH5 "hidden cars behind a paywall" bs.
There's still time for them to correct course but the situation is pretty bleak at the moment 😓
@@dankswank9088 If FH car passes are still a thing and DBD stilll relies on paid skins about RE series they don't even know I don't even see that
Forza got flack for small maps and this one's projected to be smaller. This one not going to have houses at launch which means it's all a plan of microtransactions with cars. Always online DRM and heavy PVP focus means FOMO will be the order of the day. PVP focus for an open world arcade racing game with no penalty or rating system means a ramming fest that could mess up experience when earning cars/money. Lack of customization means NFS and Horizon fanbase wouldn't be enticed to try it. Most of the cars being old and fewer than competition makes it less enticing for those fanbases to switch. This is destined to flop. Never seen a better written script.
also virtually no traffic, ghost racing unlimited
Hyped for this game, and i try to defend it as much as possible - i was actually even more hyped after seeing the gameplay. But i can only agree their communications has been very subpar. I will still purchase the game to support it and hope the live support will make the game good just like The Crew 2. That game was also subpar on launch and people didn't like it at first but now many people love it.
Oh feel free to be hyped, my man! It's the first TDU in over a decade so I can't blame you; I just think we need to temper that hype with healthy criticism. While The Crew 2 has grown significantly since launch, a lot of the underlying problems (microtransactions and drm specifically) persist to this day, problems that are uncomfortably likely to be in Solar Crown. Besides, with games like Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky normalizing the practice of rushing an incomplete game out the door and finishing it later, it would be nice if this game was an example of a new game that was a finished product at the point of purchase instead of what so many live service games are (ie finished months or years after launch after several updates and paid season/battle passes).
I understand we upset for not having a proper tdu3 but i will better have something over nothing. These critical videos are totally meaningless.
Meaningless is choosing to accept anything with the name Test Drive Unlimited slapped onto it instead of pushing Nacon to publish something worthy of being called Test Drive Unlimited
So we have to accept that we can have another Test Drive Overdrive flop? I agree that people cancel-culture ANYTHING that isn't a festival game series but hello, this is serious. Microtransactions in a TEST DRIVE GAME??
Nothing is better than online only. It will give you the same gameplay (literally nothing) but you'll still have your money.
@@tilburg8683 No we won't? TC2 literally had to be paid yet IT WAS ONLINE
@@tilburg8683 Also if online-only game gets delisted and the servers get shut down even if the game's successful, game owner couldn't be even be able to BOOT UP the game and when I buy a game I want to able to play it FOREVER
Love how Alex hides in the the replies but won't comment 😹
I wouldn't say he's hiding; the algorithm works in mysterious ways and he has in fact posted an actual comment that's been buried under all the others (I already responded to it so nobody needs to rush to my defense or anything)
There's no need to wait for the official lunch, with this always online bullshit - this game is already DEAD.
As a person who preferred The Crew 2 over Horizon I hated how people defended TC dilogy being online-only - the servers can go down anytime even when people play it and if I buy a game I want to be able to play it FOREVER
If not already dead, it is already doomed to die, and I can think of no greater indictment of this industry (aside from worker abuse) than how carelessly publishers discard the legacy afforded by long-term preservation in favor of the increasingly unlikely short-term financial gains.
@@dankswank9088 It'll be dead quicker than FH4, shame
@@dankswank90889088 They have become assimilated into the "planned obsolescence" industrial group think. Either lacking any imagination of their own, or any faith of their own to see their creation live long and prosper. They drink the bitter brew of the rich elites that support their endeavors. "We're all going to die so why leave any legacy?" Long is dead the small team of software developers that worked for the love of their project. Like the creators of GTR.
@@nfsiiihp If this thing releases on steam it's not surpassing Forza Horizon 5, BeamNG and Assetto Corsa in player numbers 🤣
