Kylotonn (= KT Racing, but the same company) and Nacon won’t offer a ton of cars in the new part of the upcoming Test Drive Unlimited, but according to them, not all cars will look the same on the track.
Forza Horizon has taken the place of Test Drive Unlimited, released in 2006, because we can now cite this game as a prime example when it comes to open world car racing, but we could also cite Ubisoft’s The Crew. But the “unlimited driving test” wants to take back the throne, and the creative director of the game Alain Jarniou in a new interview spoke.
For example, he mentioned why the range of cars will be lower than, for example, in Forza Horizon 5: “In Forza Horizon, if you spin the wheel (Wheelspin), you will get two cars or you will have another if you complete one. mission. You have a lot of cars in your garage, but you don’t work for them. There are fewer cars in Test Drive Unlimited, but choose those cars. Here you have a stronger connection with your garage than in any other game. You have to earn money to buy the cars of your dreams. You spend time with your car, develop it, drive it and show it to other players, “said Jarniou.
But then he also explained why the green offering was downsized: “The idea is that the game will be much more like a simulation of The Crew or Forza Horizon, which are quite arcade. Part of the fun of driving is that the game it’s realistic, but not too simulative. We want to give players the freedom to adjust the driving aids to be closer to the simulation if they want to. I want that feeling (of driving the right cars with the right sensations) to be stronger in Test Drive Unlimited than in Forza Horizon. This will not be a racing simulation, but a driving simulator. If you are in a Ferrari [Volkswagen] Sitting in a bug isn’t the same experience. You will feel it. This is important if you love cars – you want to feel the difference between them, ”added Jarniou.
Test Drive Unlimited Solar Crown’s Hong Kong will be much smaller (30 square kilometers) than the island of Oahu seen in the first part (600 square kilometers), but on the other hand it will be denser and geographically more variable. The game will arrive on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series and PC in 2023.
