TDU2 taking names for beta

Atari/Namco Bandai has started taking names for the Test Drive Unlimited 2 online beta.

Head over to the official website to put your name down. You'll need to register.

There's no signposting, but we assume this roll call is for PC gamers. We'd expect console participation to be handled through PSN or Xbox Live Marketplace.

Test Drive Unlimited 2 brings free-roaming island racing in sporty cars - and with girls wearing sporty bras - back with bows on. Eurogamer's recent TDU2 preview greases the axle.

    It asks what format you want to test in the beta sign up form.

  • wizlon #2 2 years ago

    YAY! This sounds really good so wouldn't mind a bit of the beta.

  • Adman #3 2 years ago

    I think a beta test for this is a great idea... especially if I'm in it.

  • 8bitMofo #4 2 years ago

    In before "can I has beta key".

    I really don't get this test something for nothing idea. Fux off and do your own testing. Honestly you'd think it was testing the word of virgins not friggin games software

    Sometimes people want a chance to play games before they're out. Sometimes you can provide feedback to make them better.

    What the hell are you on about, banjo? I'm quite excited about getting an early look at a game I'm looking forward to. I get some free gaming, they get some free testing. How is this anything other than mutually beneficial?

    @Banjo21

    The idea of a beta is so the developers can have a large controlled sample size to see how a game runs and if there are any issues, especially online.

    They'll get a better idea of how it's running even if it's a sample of 1000 players - I don't think many deveolpers could do closed doors testing of more than a couple of hundred poeple - it just wouldn't be practical or cost effective.

    It's a good way to show customers what it's like - but not neccessarily as well built as a demo.

    It' win-win.

    Was I the only one that laughed at 'Eden Primed'?

  • Liam64 #10 2 years ago

    Nope, made me giggle too. I think Rob is vying for a spot as a tabloid headline writer.

    (That was genuinely meant as a compliment :p I think those guys are geniuses)

    I've signed up! I really hope I get picked for it!
