Default Test Drive Unlimited 2 - Early Concept Art/Ingame Screens (not Official) [!UPDATE #5 2009-07-18]

[UPDATE #5 :: 2009-07-18]

So seeing some of the work was removed from the sites I found last time I went on another little hunt for TDU2 stuff and unbelievably I found some more, I know I know I'm just that good.

Wahey! What do we have here, an update? Yeah but only a small one but a good one all the same. Nothing really knew as such, basically along the same lines as that below but bigger and clearer. Oh yes!

A much larger image of the concept artwork from before. I'm guessing this is the 3D Artist who did the car this time and the artwork itself was done by the artist before.


Now here's some interesting tests.






Render Animation showing the above in action

HQ version

And save the best for last? A render of what looks appears to be a Lamborghini Murcielago LP640.
This render looks like it makes up some of the Murcielago R-GT lookalike from the concept art above and below.

The image was a personal render by the artist.
- image removed -

[UPDATE #4 Part 2 :: 2009-06-25]

Image slice showing some car controls that may make it into the game

Possible explanation for each below (clockwise from Top)
Left: Headlights Fullbeam, Right Indicator/Blinker, Dipped Headlights (Driving Lights?), Left Indicator/Blinker
Middle: Park Car, Wipers On/Off, Windows Up/Down, Roof Up/Down
Right: Radio/Music, Driving Aids?, GPS zoom?, Chronopack

Like Who brilliantly mentioned, perhaps you will be able to assign your favourites to the D-pad also.

Sorry I forgot to post this link of a 3D Artist showing some ingame screens (some we've seen) including night!

Concept Renders and Artwork for Racing School (part hidden due to what it contains)


This Looks Fun!


[UPDATE #4 :: 2009-06-25]
Yesterday I went on a hunt for TDU2 info and came up with so much stuff that it would be wrong for me to post all that I found, so as strange as it sounds I'm not going to be doing that. What I am going to do you can see below.

Now remember none of this is official, it's completely been found out and about on the internet, nothing said or shown is official or can be confirmed as being in TDU2 or even confirming TDU2's release as such. Yes it may very well be and of course we all hope it is in Production but don't forget what you see below is in no way official. So please don't get too excited as things could change.

The key information I found said a lot about the game and what it would contain but it is my feeling that if I were to post it up that it would in fact spoil the game should it arrive especially if you were to see the scenarios and features that were discussed. So please enjoy what you have for now as anything is better than nothing, right?

Ok let's get on with the show!

Concept Artwork - (the car renders are not by the artist)





More Custom Offroad Artwork




Ford Mustang in the Rain


Some Tunnels


Customary Waterfalls!



I might post some more later, need to look at the images and see what can be shown without spoiling too much.

===========================================

Thanks to BADNED!! (yes you know him guys)

Test Drive Unlimited 2, sequel to the award winning Test Drive Unlimited, will see probably its official unveiling sometime later this year and I'm going to share with you guys. Are you ready? Good, now feast your eyes on some early media. From concept art to some early ingame material with some game related info thrown in between, so you can get an idea of what to expect from the sequel.

But keep in mind that all the media is at least one to two years old, in case of ingame material showing an very early build, and it is possible that in the end not everything will be in the final game.

Will update the thread in the next two or three days with some more stuff.

Lets start with some early concept art. The biggest new thing in TDU2 will be off-road racing, featuring various new classes of vehicles including SUV's, Buggy's, Motocross and ATV's.

Click images below to view larger size.

Concept Art: SUV's/4x4's driving through wetlands


Concept Art: Ducati vs. Hummer


It is planned to have at least one new location besides Hawaii.

Concept Art: A Buggy race


The following concept art was originally done for TDU but now updated showing the other new element in TDU2, rain! Yes, this time it won't be only sunshine, the weather will change dynamically to cloudy/foggy, rain up to heavy tropical thunder storms, all which will influence both your maneouverability as well as your visibility.



[UPDATE #1 :: 2009-02-24]
Sorry that I'm a bit late but now let's continue with part #2.

Lets start with an artwork that shows the new theme of TDU2. It is possible that this art will be used for promotional stuff and even in some form find its way on the cover.

TDU2 Artwork: A New Direction


TDU2 Concept Art: A Tough Battle



It is planned to actually have a story this time around told through cutscenes and dialogues. The player will meet both friends and foes throughout the career while starting with nothing somewhere in nowhere. Your ingame avatar will have more tuning options then before, more clothes, more accessories, tattoos and body piercing. There will be hairstylists and barber shops where you can get a cut or a completely new hairstyle. You have problems with the police or some enemies and you don't want that they recognize you anymore, no problem, go to the clinic and undertake a plastic surgery on your face or any other cosmetic treatment.
Here is an early ingame look on the updated avatar.

TDU2: InGame Avatar


The following is an early ingame shader test image but you might notice something new in there, exactly, a fuel gauge!!. Yes, this time you will have to keep an eye on it while cruising and fill it up at the nearest gas station or you will end up stranded on the street.

TDU2: InGame Shader Test


Everyone say thank you to BADNED

[UPDATE #2 :: 2009-02-25]

Let's continue with some more exclusive teasing. As always keep in mind, these are early concepts, ideas or stuff in development and might in that form not be featured in the final game.

In case you wondered what happened to all the normal cars and bikes after you heard all that off-road stuff, don't worry, nearly all, if not all your favorite makes from TDU will be back including some new ones. But since this is something where licenses are involved, nothing can be confirmed nor denied at the moment until the deals are fix, and as you may know from the past, licensing issues like to appear at the very last moment.

In case of cars, you will have this time a bit more control, not just the windows or the radio, this time you will be able to turn on, turn off the windshield wipers, thanks to the rain, or in case you are driving an convertibel, open/close the roof, just to name a few.

The world is planned to be more richer in detail, to have more life, thanks to that that the people in the game will actually talk this time around, there will be a story, you will have to fight your way up to the top, not just switching from one task to another like in TDU.

An early ingame look at the expanded world, new ways, new places, new adventures.



You know who to thank!

[UPDATE #3 :: 2009-02-26]

Here we go with the final bit of teasing.

Races and tournaments on actual closed racing circuits are planned to play a bigger role this time. Also a full 24 hour night and day cycle is planned to finally find its way into the game. Will be of importance cause some missions and races will be only accessible at a certain time.

TDU2: An early look at the Main Menu


Following is an early look at the map screen, you may notice the clock at the top in the middle, below it the display for the current weather and below that a graph going from dawn till dusk, all of importance for the player.

TDU2: An early look at the Map


Another new thing which you probably noticed in the screen before will be racing schools respectively driving schools. Those will be necessary for the player not only to learn to drive all the vehicle classes in the game but also mastering a license will open up the vehicles from the corresponding vehicle class for the player at the various dealers and also give him access to new missions, races and tournaments which were previously closed.

TDU2: An early look at a Racing School


TDU2: An early look at the Car Dealers


TDU2: An early look at a Checkpoint Race


Ohh and before I forget it the team from Pink Whale's CAR WASH service is more then happy to serve their customers this time around.

That's it. Hope you all enjoyed that little teasing, now it's up to eden to finally finish it. An official unveiling of the game at this years E3 is possible but not fixed at the moment so fingers crossed for the best.

Over and out!

Cheers B!!

The time-of-day and lighting quality are Crysis-level in the first pic. I really hope that makes it into the full game! Along with increased field of view.

Dynamic weather would be fantastic, as well.

Can't wait for TDU2, if/when it comes out.

Waoh I'm exicted! I just hope its not just all of road racing I'd love the style of TDU combined with the art work above to be TDU2. That way we can offroad and still cruise like rich people in our Lambos. Anyway when I looked at the first pic i thought are those flying dinosaurs? lol Ferrari T-rex lol I'm exicted and can't wait for the release. To sum up what I jsut said lets hope they combine the "Rich Life"(TDU) and off road and put it together and make TDU2(hopefully DLCS will come out to!) I'd also like to point out that in the last pic with the rain in it, You can tell its for TDU2 because the originalk done for TDU has the Countach,Camaro and 2 other muscle cars in it, the one above has an Exige, and a GT.
so is this our possible list so far?:
Lamborghini LP640
Hummer H2
Ducati dirtbike?
Dunebuggies
Chevy Camaro Z28
Lamborghini Countach
Lotus Exige
Ford GT

Not especially exited about off road racing, hopefully road racing won't suffer because of the new feature in game.
Hawaii - Oahu again? Or maybe big Hawaii island? More suitable for off road

Test Drive has always been fast road cars though, I think this is branching a bit far out, especially with dune buggies.

Why not? The movie was filmed in Kaua'i Hawaii, so the scenery suits...
