News PlayStation 2

Get out of my way, you squares.

Those of you hanging around Eurogamer TV, wildly attempting to catch a glimpse of tank-topped Johnny Minkley, may well have noticed a new Test Drive Unlimited trailer.

The video shows off the PS2 version, released here on 16th February, stitching together scene-after-scene of law-breaking and reckless driving.

The game itself features over 1000 miles of Hawaiian road to burn-rubber on, either on or offline. With 30+ famous manufacturers included there's a wealth of cars to chose from and personalise, as well as houses and garages available to buy.

Melbourne House will handle the development for PS2 and PSP, and on this initial evidence it looks really rather good.

Catch up with what we thought of the Xbox 360 version when it launched last year.

No doubt it'll be considerably worse than the 360 version,a version which I found rather shit too,although I admit I only tried the two Marketplace demos.
If it did improve greatly from the demo version then the above comment is basically useless.

Oh dear, it looks... er... like an old Need For Speed.

Still, maybe they tweaked the handling model a bit? It was never going to compete with the 360 version, but I would have expected it to compete a bit with PS2 games.

Cap'n - I quite like TDU on 360. The marketplace demos really don't give you much of a feel for it, but when you're making up random races with people, and just exploring the island, its rather fun.

Doesn't look bad for a PS2 game...

So it has less pop-up than the 360 version, runs smoother, runs faster, and has HDR lighting.

If it also has a decent online mode, we should all return our next gen consoles to the shop.

I honestly can't decide which version to get, my late-night only TV access (bloody families, eh?) means I'll probably get more play out of the PSP version, and the online stuff should be more seemless on there too. No bloody slow-poke DNAS stuff.

hahahah now thats funny, seems better than stuttery 360 version. I bet this was done by the same team behind the technical marvel Transformers on the PS2

Disc

I believe Rare are still making games but does that mean if the make a FPS that it will be the Goldeneye team doing so? Of course not, most have left.

Something coming from the same company hardly means the same individuals are automatically involved. But judging by this I would say that they are, or if they are not their PS2 rendering engine certainly is.

I don't know - I read the reviews of the 360 version which tell me that while it is good, there is nothing spectacular about it. I even got a whiff of that missed opportunity smell. That said, the fact that it is available for PS2 at all is commendable.

Although I'd prefer the PC version - any idea how much space that will take?
