Thank you for a fair review I personally want this game to be good and hope to buy within the first month of it releasing Just the standard though I feel like with updates this game can just get better
Thank you very much. I am with you, if I hadn't been given the copy I'd buy the standard and enjoy it casually while the updates dropped. I did really enjoy it, I hope you do
I own an a110 GT in real life and interior bothers me with some limitations of the game : oil temp is fix only at 79 C , while indicator is in the red zone. Sporty driving it should be always above 100 and change depending on the driving load. Nm and Hp indication is not moving , showing like only 10 hp even if you redline the car . .. should change dynamically in real time. Driving at night , the Alpine dashboard show stars behind the black background, not straight black. During daytime it is straight black. I know it's not a sim and i am nitpicking :) I hope the update it also with the more hardcore versions A110 s and R

Nice review. You videogame racing career sounds very similar to me, but I didn't go down the sim racing route. I loved games like Toca, Test Drive, Need for speed, GRID: Race Driver, Colin McRae and Project Gotham Racing. And I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on this game now. Thank you again for your insight, and perhaps I'll see you on the streets of Hong Kong.
It looks tops but I expected the characters to look next gen to match the graphics. They still look pre gen. It's focused more on young kids than adults. Some of the scenes are cheesy😂
Hopefully the planned updates they’ve promised over time keep this progressing! 🤞 physics updates would make it for me personally, as the sounds seems pretty great! Not sure if it’s the lighting but both the car and driver during the ‘cheesy race win animation’ look super imposed onto the background and not real 😂 perhaps built more for night racing?
@@TyrannoCyrusRex glad that it wasn’t just me! 😂👍 I’m currently replaying through Forza Horizon 2 and 3 and they both still feel great so curious to see how they compare to test drive SC!
Played for about 3 hours yesterday. Absolutely loved it. Servers are bad af right now, a lot of logging out of lobbies after races, takes a few minutes to manage to actually log into the game. But if they fix these servers I’m all over it. Loved it. Day 1 early access and people are refunding, chill out 😂
The KT engine is very old but I just have to think about wrc generation and TT Isle of Man to know that the level design of KT Racing is top notch. The map is a simply a masterpiece imo. They’re a small, but great passionate team and we have to support them.
first i must say, for a very first try on it you did very, very good. keep it on! if i could suggest a small improvement is the delivery is a bit too flat the whole thing, but you will definetly get better with it and id add that the video could use a bit of background sound sometimes. voice and game levels were great but imho it missed a bit of background music. or during the chapters, to break a bit of the flatness. But very good job ma man. i will keep an eye out for your stuff! ... but the game, you passed me it could be fun. but as you very well put it during the video... the graphics are really outdated on this ps5. maybe i could get used to it but watching the video here it really took me out of the exoerience since we have some lookers. And i love cars that look amazing in games, i will wait a bit on this one.
I'm loving it ! The person who will like this game just like racing games period. They have spent a life logging hours in racing sims, ALSO enjoy simcade GT7, Forza, also enjoy arcade nfs, motorcrew and yes hot wheels unleashed. Willing to look past current build assuming early patch, overall you just enjoy GOOD racing experience. (great physics, handling and challenging)
Fun max? Maybe I'll have to look into this game more. I am kind of on the fence still but with some friends I could see this being a lot of fun. Thanks for the review Cyrus. 😁😁
THIS GAME IS SHIT!!!!! Dont pay for this gamers..... If you have Forza Horizon, play that. Its still the king open world driving games. I know its not a AAA game, but damn ..... This is unacceptable in 2024
I was hoping this game would turn out well. Motorfest was a bit of a letdown for me and this one seems to carry on TDU's spirit much better. Not only we have the lifestyle features (well, at least some of them), but also traveling between maps??? If they really put Ibiza in there as promised, Jesus, TDU will be ressurected in my eyes.
Never. Never. Never. I loved TDU but this? Never. Why the devs flushed what was great about TDU and went ahead with something that is an inferior product to similar games that already exist should be a mystery but I know why. It’s less of a game, more of a way of milking players. They are in the market of taking more than they’ll ever give. Never. Excellent review though, subbed and thanks
We're going gambling boys, that casino is about to take my entire car collection and properties 🤠 Also, how the character actually looks like you😂, what I'm missing here
This is why im buying it. For the physics and the roads look great for cruizing. Looking forward to the updates too. I just watched gameranx review and what a clown that guy is. I have motorfest but dont like the crew physics engine in it. Be nice to have a drive club 2.
@TyrannoCyrusRex I *think* they put it on PS+. If they did I'll reinstall it and play the campaign with you, it's more fun when there's a friend in the race because single player the AI is kind of trash
The physics engine is far superior to motorfest. I had to stop playing because it's just horrible. Solar crown feels like a true old school arcade open world without the drift to turn shit that has taken over the past decade.
Can’t even fathom how people say the crew has better physics than this. This game fixed my #1 issue with the crew being the physics. They’re not perfect but the cars has so much distinction and character here.
@@fizzisoda7113 Must be, I’ve had seat time in multiple performance cars and this game captures the behavior and feel of them pretty well, much better than the crew. To me the crew physics play more like a well sorted mobile game, absolutely no feel to those cars. I think when they iron out the bugs, this game will have the best arcade physics model I’ve played since the black box NFS games, just needs some extra refinement.
The race graphics are really underwhelming, especially since I main GT 7, but it didn't end up ruining the fun for me. I am an old man who played since the 90s, though, so I'm easy to please

After what they did with wrc generations I knew they would make test drive fun
Do you have your race players or can you just race AI?
I don't actually know, sorry!

Yeah, but does it have a roulette system that hands out prizes so minimal that it's almost insulting?
Lmao the devs could still learn a thing or two 🤣
Gran Turismo and crew have a love child. I prefer real handling.
So far I've only seen cars as left hand drive.....the location it's set in, they drive on the left so right hand drive cars.....
