As Atari's CEO resigns, the company has announced it is withdrawing from the development business to refocus purely on publishing and distribution, licensing its Test Drive franchise to parent company Infogrames.
Its creator eliminated components that were not essential to speed up its development, such as the Bluetooth of the controls.

As a kid i had some heart attacks playing this game. The soundtrack right on point with those close calls. I love this game.
Agreed. I still love it and play it often. Still sucks that Disney was like, nah... this game didn't do well, when it did well against other racers and reviewed well.
Split/Second was one of the game I enjoyed playing. In fact it's still the most popular video on my YouTube channel. It's a gameplay of Split/Second posted 15 years ago. This past month 25 people viewed it. Split/Second is a favourite amongst racing gamers worldwide.
This game was super awesome and hella fun playing split-screen with the homie. Trashing your friend’s car during split-screen competition using one of those QuickTime events was so funny haha
From the mid-1980s to the early part of the 2000s, light gun rail shooters were a staple in both arcade and home system gaming. Arguably, the genre started to really hit its stride in the mid-1990s. While games like Time Crisis, Virtual Cop, and House of the Dead, among others, dominated both the home system and arcade space, some one relegated to only home game systems. Today, we’ll be talking about a little-known cult game published by Sony called Project: Horned Owl. This game was developed by Alfa Systems, and all in all, this is a fun game.
test drive was awsome, hope they come out with a sequal and just add a few more touches to the open world side then it would be one hell of a game
never played the first but heard nothing but good things. i hope this one is as good
Was a disaster of epic proportions.
Test Drive Unlimited was, and is, completely brilliant. Ive given it about 80% of my playtime since i bought the game, which is about 14 months ago now. Its a breath of fresh air in a genre that is all about going as fast as possible around an enclosed circuit. Considering its age, TDU is still has a massively populated online community, when you compare it to games of similar age, such as prey. Looking on the map you will still see thousands of players around the game, compared to the 4 i saw last time i let prey see the light of day.
That said, TDU offline is dire, you really do need to connect to the web for the game to become the shiner it is :)
anyway, enough of my TDU ramblings, anything that makes the future of TDU safer, has got to be a really good thing :D
Test drive unlimited is the only game i enjoyed on Xbox 360 (before i sold the console)
Im looking forward to see it coming on PS3.
