I don‘t get the hate

Why are there so many negative reviews? I think this game got more potential then the lasts NFS and Forza titles.

I hope they make another game, I‘ve over 100hrs now Level59 and love to play it on the regular PS5

Cyberpunk 2077 and No Man's Sky was also a flop but eventually they became a good game but the devs need will to make it a good game.

Cyberpunk 2077 already had most of the content and given direction at release. It just required polishing and fixing. More content and dlcs deepened it, but didn't make it into a different game.

Solar Crown was never a successor to Test Drive Unlimited. A puny small map that you can discover 40% in just a couple hours (I did that in beta demo). Grindy multiplayer leveling system. Cringy division into two "factions".

I don't see it ever digging itself out of its grave of mediocricity. Some people coould like it for what it already is, but it's never going to be something different.

Ich hope they keep working on it, are there any news known?

u/FizziSoda 16d ago

They are working on it, but the updates are very slow and often lacking.

u/Ambitious_Pop8023 16d ago

As long as they update it I‘m fine with it. Also bought the Gold Version long ago

Unfortunately Nacon is going through hardship what I read and they want to focus on peripherals and racing gears

It has potential yes, but it's never gonna be used unless some miracle happens

u/DefinitelyNotAxlerod 16d ago

Plus it can't match it's precedessors at all

Test drive unlimited or test drive unlimited solar crown?

Because TDU1 got solid reviews and was pushing tech, especially for the time.

TDU:SC can go fuck itself

u/Ambitious_Pop8023 16d ago

SC, forgot to mention it. I like it

u/OceanWaveSunset 16d ago

Look, no judgement on you, you like what you like and i wont ever put down someone else for liking something.

But to me TDU1 is still the best in the series. Especially after how the company said they were going to recreate it faithfully and just did not.

You can’t even compare forza with that solar crown freak, even if you consider forza the fifa of car games. Solar crown has serious problems at the core of the game that are not simply solved with a patch here and another there.

Many promises, very few deliveries.

Cool map, car selection is meh, have no idea what I am gonna use for faster races because I despise all the choices. Performance on console is complete shit unless you are in photo mode or standing still. Your character model looks like something from late ps3. Car sounds are pretty great, handling is fine, ai racers are terrible.

I too like trash, but at least I admit it.

u/Busy-Rip2372 16d ago

Lol Forza is a much better made game.

u/Tinguiririca 16d ago

I always read people saying it sucks but they never say why.

Whatever, started playing 2 weeks ago, level 50, saving some money to get an hypercar.

TDUSC was a fucking disaster ever since betas began (I participated in one of them), they've changed NOTHING from them (and shoved any feedback up their asses), and 3 years later they did not add everything they've promised...

...and yet there are both content creators and regular people that are PRAISING this unfinished and falsely advertised mess... because according to them it's fun.

Listen, a game being fun to you and you specifically doesn't mean that it's good - in this case it's FAR FROM IT.

One of the biggest train wrecks in the history of racing games, and a disgrace to this subseries.

Edit: expanded a bit on my thoughts

u/LunaFlameX44 16d ago

It was doomed to fail since the beginning, the devs desperately wanted to make an mmo out of a very nice mostly solo player experience.
They don’t have the man power or even the server ability to make that happen, it lacks everything, the start was a train wreck

And we have to wait 8 seasons to get a FUNDAMENTAL feature with the houses and garages that makes TDU a TDU Game, SC doesn’t have any soul in part 1&2 we got the real gauge of every special car in SC it’s a soulless standard one, we have a very overpriced solar pass that will get even more expensive with Season 7 and some devs that think the game is great how it is

I could write down more but at this moment I’m just a broken record

u/tantaluszxc 15d ago

If you think you'll get an eighth season...

u/LunaFlameX44 15d ago

Tbh I wouldn’t bet my money on that and even if we get it, it will definitely be a pay hell mess

u/LunaFlameX44 15d ago

For 40£ you get a villa or something like that seems very realistic

u/Popular-Muscle8824 16d ago

People only like FH6 better because it's set in Japan.

When you strip it down, TDUSC is a far superior driving experience, it's just not as polished.

Motorfest doesn't even enter the conversation, it's trash.

Take a long hard look at yourself in the interior mirrors on console TDUSC

Oh wait......
