If it plays half as good as it looks....

[jonamok]

Blimey.

Just...wow.

[simms]

I like the idea of cruising around an island looking for people to race online but I'm not sure how this will be done without being an MMORPG type thing.

I do hope this is good. I have fond memories of Test Drive 3: The Passion on PC.

Only 3 cars, and no texture mapping, but it was still jaw dropping at the time.

I remember the original, I think I had it on the MegaDrive or Amiga. It was good at the time, but it wasn't exactly groundbreaking. Let's hope Unlimited is though!

[MotiVater]

Yes.

Racing around Oahu should be fabulous, especially around the North Shore

I hired a car for a few days while there and the scenery potential for this game goes off the scale.

Please get the handling right.

Please.......?

Why are all the cars made out of mirrors?

[Sloth]

I'm seeing quite a bit of pop up in that video.

That'll need sorting to convince me.

[Robbo]

That's what a well waxed, clean car looks like. Take a look at one closely in a showroom, you'll be amazed at how clear the image is in the bodywork.

I know what you mean though, dynamic car dirtying should be part of any racing game.

What format is that vid from?

[Rayn]

X360

[timgp]

Shame there's no revolutionary input device to control it with.

[squirtle]

It's by Eden Studios isn't it? After three ropey V-Rally's, I'm not holding out much hope for the handling. 2/1 odds on the fact that we have another Auto Modellista on our hands. Looks great! Drives horribly.

[Rayn]

A game about "No Aim" must be hard to get right, eh?

[Fry Crayola]

I hate racing games. But I want this just to drive around and listen to music playing from the 360 dashboard. I'd even buy a steering wheel just for that.

[Bojangle]

Looks like it could be a whole lot of fun online.

Fingers crossed they get it right.

[Meh]

The proper in-game videos of this that were floating around a while back were hideous. Reminded me of Body Harvest for some reason.

[vamecum]

not too impressed really.

mirror car. how exciting.

[metallicfrodo]

mirror car. how exciting.

Do people not actually look at cars in real life? They are amazingly reflective even when not showroom polished!

[Vemsie]

Those comments come from people who are too poor to buy a Xbox 360 so they just slag it off instead

[Stroker Ace]

Why are all the cars made out of mirrors?

Because everything on the 360 HAS to be shiny. Even a fucking gravel path or a tree.

Mirror car!

[Dr. Bastard]

I never understood the whole "underground"racing culture although I like racing games. The video looks realy slick, but I doubt that the actual game graphics will look that good, just like every teenage girl wearing a studded belt and fishnets, it's just a pricktease.

Why would they do that? I have a X360 AND a very nice HDTV but I'm still not overly impressed by Test Drive Unlimited.

Game's not "underground" in the slightest. Very much the opposite. For grimy chavved-up street racing, read luxurious open-topped cruising with the windows down.

Look who failed to spot the winky

To be honest, I don't really care about this either. It looks pretty nice, but most stuff does on my HDTV.

"Nah man! Big up tha Oahu massive!"

An Oahu Massive.

[Sigourney Beaver]

Apart from that pop up, PGR3 looks pwnd already.

[Peter]

Is that video 5fps for everyone or is that just me?
