Can't complain about free DLC.

ATiElite4804d ago

DLC on the PC was most likely free anyway. Games are launched with bugs but being launched almost unplayable is total crap development.

This lack of quality should be remembered the next time Atari tries to charge more than $40 for one of their games.

Redempteur4804d ago

good but quite LATE.. it just feel like teh game hasn't been tested prior release

bumnut4804d ago (Edited 4804d ago )

It feels like the game hasn't been finished prior to release to me.

TheBrit4804d ago

What bothers me is that a few wrecks to discover that unlocks A car was going to be premium content?? Seriously they were expecting people to pay for just that?

FordGTGuy4804d ago

Wrecks:
- Jaguar D-Type
- Buggy V8
- Citreon 2CV
- Shelby Cobra 427
- Shelby Daytona Coupe
- Volkswagen Beetle

DLC
- Lancia Stratos (Rally Variant)
- 1969 Dodge Charger

How are they exactly releasing DLC that are wrecks?

TheBrit4803d ago

You obviously did NOT read my message clearly. I said they were going to release PREMIUM content that has you discover a few wrecks that will unlock a car (I thought it was one car not 2)

So we would have had the option (yes OPTION) to spend real money to find 6 wrecks that you cannot do anything with just to unlock 2 real cars to drive that again, don't really do much for you do they.

That should be free content, not something with $$ attached to it.

A new mini part of an island to discover with challenges to accept etc is what premium content should be, not 2 cars that don't do anything different than the rest of the cars accept for speed.

FordGTGuy4801d ago (Edited 4801d ago )

Clearly? Your original comment was incoherent.

1) Wrecked cars are free once found.
2) It gives people something to do, like me as I have already beat the game.

These cars are not already in the game, artard, These are new cars but they are just making them wrecked cars...

lugia 40004804d ago

2 cars for 2 weeks on a broken game?

captain-obvious4804d ago (Edited 4804d ago )

Atari should just close doors and quit the whole thing
their time is long gone
and i don't see them doing any good now a days
so by doing that they'll maintaining the picture that they once had

and so far they are not doing that

Looking back to 2011 and the Botched Launch of Test Drive Unlimited 2

Richard writes: "The series may have a cult following, but ten years on Test Drive Unlimited 2 still upsets me. It was one of my most anticipated games ever, with a concept years ahead of what Forza Horizon could achieve. But it remains one of the buggiest launches of a game I can remember, completely tarnishing my memory of it."

Such an underrated game, the only problem I had with it was the car physics on anything more powerful the a Golf GTI. But to me this was the original Forza Horizon

Cult Classics – Test Drive Unlimited 2

Game Informer - It's hard to imagine what to do in a car game except race other cars, and yet with Test Drive Unlimited 2, developer Eden Games found a way to expand the genre's horizons enough to offer an experience that's slightly different from your average racer. Eden's ambition came with a cost, but Test Drive Unlimited 2 is a game that I remember fondly and appreciate for the chances it takes.

This game gets a bad rap, but I enjoy it still. The idea was great, I think that if the devs were just better supported it could have been something truly epic.

Would love to see something like this again, especially on a next gen console.

wallis3977d ago

Dear gameinformer,

look up the fucking definition of cult classic,

sincerely,

anyone who knows what "cult" or "classic" means.
