Because the only good social hangout in Tdu2 atm is Casino lobby and Poker.
Yes, good point; being able to leave your car there to begin with.

Might also be a good spot to hook up for cruises or multiplayer events. In TDU2 the only social spots were the CRC, player homes, the Clubs and the Casino. Maybe the last was strangely enough the best place to meet new friends :lol:

One thing I'd like a TDU game to have is a repair button. On PS3 if you held the circle button your car would reset to the last road its tires touched, I always thought the developers could've added the option to fix your car as well when doin' that or then fix it if you held some other button. :think:

One thing that I've noticed when I cruise is that when my car is in pristine condition I tend to take more care not to damage it but once I notice it has some scratches I start to stop carin' about it and go drive recklessly always tryin' to reach max speed and not really carin' if I'm gonna be able to make a certain turn at the speed I am at or not.

+1 to everything said.

It just hope have the save kind of carlist verity that TDU2 and The Crew have, but improve on the massive mistake The Crew made but not including Audi, but i really like the differences of rides, but they need to get the right kind of manufactures on to the list. And they give us the same epic dealership experience when buying a new car or just test driving one.

But such a list could be over 100 cars easily.

I would also to see more classes like Hyper, Super, Sports, Hatches, SUV, 5 sedans, classics / hotrods, and tons a wide range of cars too.

I just think that no game really puts the hot sedans up against each other, Merc, Audi, BMW, Jag and Alfa all make cars that is the epic cruisers and lets face it TDU isn't about just blowing around the map at mach1 speeds, nah it about cruising with friends and taking in the experience, so we need a wide range of cars to fill that kind of needs.

And then we also need locations with quality racetracks and cars for the track like the club specials from TDU2.

Also i think the TDU3 team should remake the AI track avoidens behavior where they sometimes run themselves of the road to avoid hitting you. It is something The Crew failed at as the AI just spawns to slow you down and never ever run of the road to avoid oncoming cars.

I looking back i have hard time figuring out how we could race sometimes 3 side on the tiny roads and still avoid AI traffic, but i guess the AI spawning was better in TDU2 than The Crew.

Also i hope TDU3 settles on a better night time darkness as The Crew darkness is pointless as you to turn on brightness to be able to see a thing.

So many thing i want to see but way way to early to air them all. :mrgreen:

Some gameplay features should be expanded. Follow the leader for example. There can be another level of it with Free FTL or class specific and limited FTL.

And different driving leagues from more restricted Circuit racing to "Outlaw" scrapheap survival races and everything in between. Different leagues different attitudes, different skill set.

I would like TDU3 to focus more on race cars and get at least 1 Le Mans Prototype and 1 classic F1 car. Image

As much as I love this kind of stuff, I don't feel like it fits the tone of TDU. It has never really been a motorsport franchise, just a street car franchise. But maybe they'll add stuff like that.

What I really want is dedicated lobbies for car shows. A lot of pre-race lobbies just turned into car shows, so having dedicated regions that would allow people to show off could be really cool.

I doubt it, i think the Zonda R or a Radical would be the closest, and as stated before it Le Mans cars doesn't fit in line with the nature of TDU as it is all about street cars and they they also have a few track toys, but i doubt they'll add a fullblown Le Man's prototype into the mix.

I think Agera R, P1, LA Ferrari, 918 would be about the highest car tier.

Hey, wasn't TDU2 supposed to actually have some Ferrari Formula One car? Someone mentioned something about an F1 bein' in the game files ages ago, and that's where I got the idea we could get at least one F1 or Le Mans car added into the mix.

Yes

F1 Mclaren and Ferrari i think. Not finished though. Maybe linked to the Dubai extension and track there.
Also a real top fuel dragster and Group B Rallye cars Audi Sport Quattro and Lancia Delta S4. Last two had working physics.
Not to forget a DTM Audi and Mercedes.

TDU has always been about racing, both on roads and track. All kinds of racing. Legal and illegal.
And mimic the high life life style. Living the fast lane.

But being able to show off you cars is just as important.

My idea was to use Lisas parking lot as gathering place to show the cars, organize cruises and events, or just hang out. I once had a complete game plan worked out for TDU. If you combine elements from old TDU, TDU2, FH, Crew, NFS, Flatout and many more you got about 10% covered from what i had planned.

But lets see first what BigBen cooks up. It might be good. ;)

Okay, so there's a lot of stuff I'd really like to see in a future TDU title, some of which will probably go in and some which won't.

First off, I'd like a really diverse car list. That may seem like a "no-s**t" statement, but look at it this way. When TDU2 came out, the options for car lists were very limited. Porsche was EA's, and manufacturers like Rolls-Royce and Honda refused to appear in racing games (or street racers in Honda's case). Now, Porsche is up for grabs by anybody, Rolls-Royce is in the Forza franchise, and Hondas are back into road racing games. The opportunity to make a really diverse and compelling car list is greater now than ever. I'd also like to see a lot of exotic protoypes, luxury sedans/suv's, normal everyday sedans/hatchbacks, and hell, maybe even some American Diesel Trucks. I've been playing a lot of GTA Online in the past year and a half, and R* does a great job of not only including hypercars and tuners, but also luxury sedans/GT cars, U.S trucks, Classic European cars, and normal everyday sedans. Granted, all of it's unlicensed, but like I said earlier, it's a lot easier to get some of these cars now than before. I'd love to be to go into a dealership, spec a RR Phantom, ME-412, Ram 2500, or Honda Accord, and then go out and cruise with my friends. I've also hooked my PS2 back up and have been playing a lot of Gran Turismo 4, and one of the coolest things about that game was the Used Car Dealer. Granted, the selection was pretty heavily skewed towrads Japanese cars, but the idea of going to pick up a earlier generation model and saving some money for upgrades and stuff was a really cool and ingenious concept. I know they had Jude's in TDU2, but that was more of a "discount tuned cars" thing and not really what I had in mind. I'd also like to see some more car customization. It doesn't have to be on the level of NFS or The Crew, but it would be nice to have some high end and off-road rims to choose from. I'd also like for 3rd party tuners to be included in the game. Basically, you would buy a car and then drive it to the tuner of the brand you want. So I could take my Mercedes and go turn it into a Brabus or Mansory, or be able to take my Dodge Ram and give it a lift kit.

I'd also like to see them expand upon the lifestyle features introduced in TDU2. The Casino was a really great idea IMO because it gave you something to do besides racing. Some of my fondest memories in TDU have been playing poker or roulette with friends and just casually small talking as we played. I'd actually like to see this part expanded upon though. Give us bars where we can "drink" and play bar games like Pool and Darts, a Country Club where we can sit in the lobby or play golf and tennis, Lisa's diner where we can eat diner food and have car shows in the parking lot where we can enter eachother's cars (much like in the TDU multiplayer lobbies), Nightclubs where we can drink and request songs for the DJ to play, or even an expanded clubhouse where we can do a combination of all of the aforementioned with our own customized interior, plus a garage!. Another great thing the TDU games had was the customizeable avatars, and, in particular, clothes. I'd also like the new TDU to take after GTA a bit in this aspect too. TDU has historically had high-end clothes and some sportswear, or, in TDU1's case, some middle class clothing shops like Ben Sherman. However, in GTA, we can buy discount-no name clothing like plain t-shirts and jeans, swimsuits, and also more niche clothing like biker leathers, vests, boots, and also racing suits! I know the last 2 were heavily requested in TDU2's heyday, especially considering how both of the biker outfits offered in TDU made you look like a tool on the Harley. Another good point of the TDU series was the houses, which my dream TDU game would also expand upon. I'm sure anyone reading this will have gotten sick of the GTA references at this point, but I'd really like our houses to be more interactive. In TDU1 and 2, the houses were more of a "look but don't touch" affair. We could customize our walls, floors, and furniture, which was really cool, but we couldn't sit on our sofas, sleep on our beds, or sit in our pristine hot tubs. There were also a lot of inaccessible rooms where there could have been bedrooms or offices/studies. However, in GTA, just about every room in our houses/apartments are accessible, from the Office to the Bathroom. We can also do a lot more with our apartments and houses in GTA. We can sit down in our sofas, sleep in our beds, shower in our showers, lounge in our Yacht's Jacuzzi, and watch satirical TV shows or watch other players on our TV's. Also expanding on the TV concept, I've also been playing a game called Tower Unite recently that lets you play Youtube videos on your apartment's TV. You can even play shows and movies you've purchased on Google Play on them, since they use YouTube for streaming. Imagine coming home after a long day of racing and crusing and watching your friend race in a club tournament, or having a pool party at your top-dollar mansion! Also, the Clubs system in TDU was ingenious in the way that they actually meant something and weren't just a way for friends to group together (though they could do that too). You could upgrade the Clubhouse from a small hovel to a huge meeting place, complete with a garage. Speaking of the garage, I don't think there should be club-exclusive cars. I think the Club Garage should instead be used to showcase member's unique cars. I know people like Dpuff and Grooks would love a place to show off their designs, and the new clubhouse garage would do just that.

As far as the world goes, TDU2 added a new island, and I think TDU3 should follow suit while still keeping the original 2. I wouldn't like Dubai, primarily because it wouldn't be true to the 1 to 1 scales that TDU has become known for. Instead, I'd prefer they go with a fantasy location, since that would give them the creative freedom to make it whatever they want. I also want the map to be more detailed, as Honolulu especially has looked like s**t in both TDU games, primarily because it's the exact same buildings spammed on every block. It doesn't have to be perfect, but please make it better than the previous 2. I also really liked what The Crew did with the landmarks. TDU2 had the photo competition, and I feel like a combination of the 2 would be really cool.

That's about it. I don't expect them to implement any of this stuff, but even if 1/4 makes it in I'll be set for years. I'll update this if anything new comes to me.
