Does This Change Everything for Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown? 

I agree

right what happened to paying 60$ for a full fledged game and getting free games w micro transactions?? like rocket league fortnite both worked

cough cough call of buty

Not to mention some even have subs on top of that.

The only reason this business model exists is because of the millions of stupid people that pay into it. If I was a developer I'd do the same thing. Making money off of stupid people is one of the easiest ways to get rich. Don't be mad at the economy that has developed around this practice, be mad at the losers who keep it thriving.

Yup

Gamers need to come together and show some resistance against the always online concept. What recently happened to Helldivers shows the power of the people!

@@fabior.9326 Look up the StopKlllingGames campaign, they are making progress towards stronger ownership laws.

​@@fabior.9326Helldivers 2 despite is a great game is heavily backlashed by gamer community.

😭

shi tryna be like gta

@@BlackPanthaa hehehe weeeee

@@drifzyy truue 😂

​@@BlackPanthaa this is all good news because I'm really looking forward to it when it comes out 😊

Imagine same but without paying extra money

​@@csabazombori9862Would never be free, do you think people just work for free?

@@DeejayJeanPapparently yes😂

@@DeejayJeanP well there are other games where such things can be in basegame

What do you mean "such things"? Expansions? How can expansions be in the base game? ​@@csabazombori9862

Cry quiet! GET TDUSC

GT7 might most likely get an offline patch so at least there's that

​@@christianlenik5307 "Consume Product then get excited for next Product"

yeah, honestly I'm not buying the game unless it gets an offline mode.

The crew was a garbage fuckin game anyway.....lol

The same also to MCLA.

TDU 2 was a great game indeed. So good memories I have! And I can play it now if I want, but I cannot say the same about The Crew 1. Such a shame Ubisoft ignored the players appeal to made an offline mode.

@@nocommentaryjustgaming I agree, open world racing games NEED an offline mode. I have been playing TDU2 today and nothing comes close, I hope Solar Crown is like a TDU2 remaster with newer cars

@@JamieNoid We can have here a great experience, if that simple thing called offline mode comes with the game. Really hope that they don't follow Ubisoft example with The Crew. My physical copy of the game is now a beautiful paperweight 😕

Right? Triple A games are literally the worst offenders for microtransactions lmao

This perspective also exist in the indie scene too. Especially with tactical shooters. Its starting to be a nusance and just killing the otherwise chill vibe of gaming as whole.

You already know it’s going to get compared directly to GTA Online especially when they were the pioneers of what GTA is today its not Rickstar fault they kept innovating their game. TDUSC doesn’t need to be exactly like GTA but it needs to be close because the original games were ahead of GTA. So all they would need to do is bring all the features the original TDU had and add on ideas throughout the years that you couldn’t go back in the old TDU or just do things in the game that is not possible in GTA no matter how small it is like a simple restaurant for social interactions. You can’t do that in GTA 5 you can bring back the barbershops and salons you had in the original one and have it as a real storefront you can go in game. You can add a shopping mall for players to socialize and shop in the game something else GTA doesn’t have for more social interactions. It’s just so many things outside of just driving you can add that are simple like side missions as a paramedic you can make rescue missions for money that contribute towards your rank. They give you special outfits like a Hong Kong paramedic rescue outfit that no one can buy if you do a certain amount of rescue missions and bring them back to the hospital. In the original they had a hospital you can change your characters appearance with a surgeon. You can have a prison in the game where you can actually go to jail or you can do a certain amount of cop missions you can earn a secret outfit that no one can buy Hong Kong police outfit. Just ideas of side activities that they can add that aren’t in other games that will make them stand out as a open world racing game they can have a real estate agency in the game where you if you buy your house you can always sell it for a different house instead of just being stuck with a house. You can have a car auction house in game where you allow players to actually sell their cars live with any special liveries they made. When it’s up for auction players from any session can see it up for sale. If you sell a certain amount of cars you can get a license. That will allow you to sell more cars than a average player that has never sold any cars. Just more ideas they can have a lobby setting for gas station pumps to actually work game or you can have turned off so when you go into a lobby it will be gas only or no gas. Parking lots and parking decks can allow for you to hold car meets that any player can join and it can a place where you can actually get out of your car to view other people cars. It’s so much stuff they can do that’s different from GTA a lot will be similar but it doesn’t matter because GTA literally does everything they’re the standard for real life open world games. All TDUSC needs to is add make it similar to GTA but with out the extreme violence that is the only downside to GTA cars can’t actually enjoy the game in a open lobby with out being blowed up to pieces. This will be a escape from GTA’s chaotic world and you get a similar experience just with no violence it’s more peaceful.

this is what happens when most of the people buying games are kids whove always been around gta 5. its nice to have a game that appeals to the older audience who played tdu 1 and 2

It's pretty upsetting really, not everything makes billions day one and that should be recognised.

Thank you nightfury, thank you. I could not have said it better. 👍 ✌️

Yeah, the statement about small studios having more potential to close rings true nowadays, especially what happened recently.

Midnight Club LA also has the densest traffic of all.

You worked on MCLA?!

@@TheLiamstuff yes, as well as many other games over the past 40 yrs.

@@tonybarnes2920 Gee. Now I'm curious: was the design of the models for the vehicles in MCLA outsourced or done on site at Rockstar San Diego?

@@TheLiamstuff we had an in-house team.

Yea if I pull up to your house my car should be in your driveway

100% agree with you, and for once I have to disagree with Theo's take. $10 doesn't prove anything (especially when these prices aren't official) and is not enough of a difference to justify a difference in expectations. They have to compete against the likes of Forza, NFS and The Crew if they want us to spend time & money playing the game.

It's an mmo

That’s why houses absolutely need to get added all over the map it’s cool idea if your a new broke player but if you get a lot of money you should be able to to buy your own house and change your spawn points the hotel should just be a noob hub

The Day Before of racing games seems more like it given the circumstances

@@adlibbed2138It’s not that bad nothing is that bad lmao

Yet, stupid people continue to buy in to this business practice, hence why it is thriving.

In a game that was announced in 2020 and supposed to be released sept. 2022. That type of thing is unacceptable but will happen most definitely

A lot of our comments are being deleted from this video, interesting dynamic.

@@brettkoski I think RU-vid's spam filter goes extra hard on BlackPanthaa's channel. I've never had my comments shadow-deleted on any other channel.

Yeah these prices don't seem official, so I'm sceptical too.

Hello Quiche? Are you giving out free quiche today?

@@VisitingHawkSadly production has come to a stop, manufacturing issues that prevent it

Those were the old trailers back when it was coming out on the PS4 too then they made the decision to ditch last gen and make it a next gen only game their will be no Nintendo switch

If you get the opportunity, please play the first 2 titles, it will explain all the hype surrounding this latest chapter. They were way ahead of similar games of the time. ✌️

Thank you!

@BlackPanthaa np. The combat is the best part which I think you'll enjoy.

@@jam6236 booba as well (how do i do line on the text)

Another thing that I'd love to see is pedestrians. They really do make the city feel alive.

​@@nouryyespecially when HK is one of the most dense cities in the world

@@BrandonB0314 Sure, if you want to.

Why do people need so many cars in a game, in the end the vast majority plays the meta cars that are the "current" in the moment ones online in games like Forza Horizon, NFS, The Crew etc. etc.. Never understood this, i want 250-300 cars but in the end i only play a handful on the regular. People that have this kind of mindset about a race game have no clue about licensing and the amount of hoops and money a dev has to put into to this, the car industry and music industry are the worst sectors for game devs to get proper permission to use a certain car brand or song for a period of time within a game. How many good songs within the GTA franchises have we lost over the years just because licenses for songs expired...

Why do you need so many cars, it'll RUIN progression

Nacom just doesn’t have the budget and the studio just isn’t big enough to handle those cars. Remember that TDUSC focuses a lot on attention to detail. What other game lets you open a convertible top while driving released in the past decade?

@@JeffreyBos75 I agree with you but I have recently experience fh4 and fh5 . So I got that habit of having a huge car list . I forgot about the licensing problem for a moment but now I think even if the game only has around 150 cars It would be good

@@milkyy4168 forza 5 and gta lmao

Yeah, it is taking so long lol. I can't wait too use turn signals in BMW'S. 😂

@@Jens_Roadster I’d rather hoon around in a mustang and TRY not hitting the pedestrians 😌

@@blackmario903 hahaha, nice one 😆

​@@blackmario903or even cruising around Oahu on Spyker C8 Laviolette.

😂😂😂

Awesome, thanks for the info. I didn’t know that about Amazon, so I’ve just ordered it through them. Thank you 👊

I think there's AI that fill events, but default is to look for players

According to their newsletters, most of the game will be PVP. The only exception is that AI opponents are added when there are not enough players online.

So... I should buy a game that, honestly, does not show many interesting things so far (looks like any generic open world car game), doing very little to give us what we actually want based on a game that is over 10 years old, made with half the time and budget to maybe... just maybe have a better sequel? No, thank you. This game smells like something is wrong, like overpriced dlcs or microtransactions wrong.

@@danilolaurito9923He saying if it’s good if it’s broken then no don’t support it but if it’s good support it

@redhunnid5142 dude, did you read what he wrote? He said to support unless the game is broken even if people dont like the game. There's no mention about the game being good. it looks like he is expecting the game to be bad even.

@@danilolaurito9923 If you can't read beyond the first few sentences of my comment - don't comment on it. Simple.

These days lol

Unfortunately, yes

​@@BlackPanthaaIronically the CEO of sabre interactive said that the 70 dollar model will go the way of the dodo.

@@LamiaLover interesting

Would you rather pay 70 dollars ?

Exactly

There was few leaks.
