This is the Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown: The Racer Trailer. This is one game I’m looking forward too. The last Test Drive Unlimited game I played was TDU II, an open world to explore. You start off as a poor scrub, and start making money by racing. In TDU II you could buy apartments, cars, Motorcycles, clothing and travel to the Casino Island (DLC). TDU II was split up into two island (base game). You could race, explore and chill with friends and race with friends.

I’m not sure if Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown will give the experience, in terms of buying property throughout Japan, as well as clothing. I’m not sure if you’re just going to be in an apartment of sort and you’ll be able to upgrade and customize it. There’s very little detail given out so far. I’m just basing my thoughts and opinions on past trailers.

Based on the trailer below, the graphics look beautiful. You can go head to head with anyone, don’t know if any money be be placed as bet. It looks like you can fully customize your car. I don’t know if you’ll be able to buy motorcycles like you were able to in TDU II. TDU Unlimited Solar Crown is an MMO, not sure if the game will have single player component. Either way, I can’t wait for this game drop on Steam.

Test Drive Solar Crown Demo

I have a high end rig and regardless of settings, low or high, I couldn’t get past 40 FPS, with and without VSYNC, when I normally run my games at 165 FPS or higher. with 1080p It’s complicated to complete a race when the game stutters every 5 to 10 seconds regardless of settings. For me, the demo is unplayable which it’s a shame.

The specs are externally high. However, when it worked, it was fun. I like the idea of looking for hidden cars in the map to restore. I love the arcade feel, how the, in this case, the mustang handles. Speaking of which, couldn’t find a setting to change it to full on manual outside of the races. The only option was either automatic or semi-automatic.

What I liked about TDU 2, you started out broke, with a job, living in a trailer where you had the opportunity to race, make tons of money, move out of the trailer into a nice cozy apartment, buy cars, motorcycles, clothing, properties, travel to the Casino Island just to loose your wealth and start over by racing, instead of just living in a nice, fancy hotel. I’m not sure if Clans, The Sharps and The Streets offer a nice pad for you to stay in.

At this stage, I’m not sure if the specs are going to remain as they are of it’s going to change. If it remains, then, for me, the game will be unplayable regardless of settings. If it gets fined tune, then this is a must get for anyone that loves Test Drive Unlimited. It would be a real shame not to be able to buy and play due to the high specs demand. Not everyone owns a graphics cars with 12 VRAM. I understand that’s a “you problem”, Never the less.
