just wondering... is there any evedince seggesting that it will be made for pc also? i hope it is because i have missed it not being for pc since testdrive 6:( Chardrc 01:42, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
It's been confimed now that the game is under development for PC (release date expected Fall 2006) as well as XBox 360 (June 2006). AFAIK There is no confirmation of development for the PS2 or PSP, those versions are just speculation. 24.83.111.251 05:18, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
PS2, PSP and PC have been confirmed.
I've also removed reference to the Tomahawk, since it was just a fan preference and not an actual vehicle slated for the game. What good is a list of cars intended to be in the game if people cluttered it as a wishlist instead? Rogdor 05:07, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Maybe if I might be able to tell them to release on the Playstation 2 as well, it could be a tie. They may look the same versions, except the Controler Configuration. Let's hope they release on the Playstation 2 version as well (I hear that it will not come out on the Playstation 3 since they told Xbox 360 to give them a head start lead, while they figure out the problems). I'm a Playstation 2 fan and I hope this game will come out also on the Playstation 2. Anything Else (a.k.a.) David 11:40, 10 April 2006
I need to tell you something. I might say that when the game comes out, I'll say that the Ferrari cars will have a huge numbers of Ferrari cars like the Japanese cars from Gran Turismo 4. Anything Else (a.k.a.) David 4:40 17 April 2006
I found another cars from this game. This game needs to add choppers (not like the helicopter name), and I need someone to find those names of choppers such as Harley Davidson, West Coast Choppers and HotMatch. Anything Else (a.k.a.) David 4:24 19 April 2006
Can anybody give me some sources on where the cars are from? -- Thorpe | talk 10:50, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
Street Legal Races? You have got to be kidding me. What if they have cops to bust you and impound your ride? and here is some advice: Stay away from the volcanic areas. Best gamer 25 July 2006
The producers have confirmed that there will be no rain effect, volcanic effect or night in the game. Also, they have confirmed it is coming out for XBOX 360, PC, PS2, and PSP. Not sure about PS3 yet..
ITEM DELETED
The "what is MOOR" section was quite badly written, so I changed it a little. This was done recently, so I'm asking you to help and check out any errors.
I heard about the $39 price tag too, but I never saw it being confirmed. Can someone cite the source of the price tag?
the source? the Executive producer of TDU, I IM him from time to time and he has confirmed it. Supra guy 07:18, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
I heard that the cars in the game will have the same price tags as the real cars. Anyone know if this is true?
Yes it's true ;) Supra guy 21:56, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
It sucks that the Pagani car will be the Pagani Zonda C12S 7.3 instead of the Pagani Zonda "F" which is faster, more powerful, and more desirable.
I want the Japanese guy to upgrade the PS2 to PlayStation 2 Hi-Definition! I want him to fight back Xbox 360 and my PS2 version will never give up! This game may or may not be the best, but we may have to find out. Best gamer 29 July 2006
This one is new. Add it to the Carlist.
I just did a huge cleanup (the article really needed it). Among the major things I did was remove a walk through of the demo (first you select a player, then you select a house, then you select a car) and remove the car list. See WP:NOT for rational ("Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate list of information - game guide, instruction manual, etc"). Please do not add content back immediately, discuss it here first. Thanks! + Fin - 08:12, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
"A sequel, Test Drive Unlimited 2, was released on February 8, 2011." Oh yes!!! Somebody here got a timemachine finally! Could I borrow it for a second please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.120.163.120 ( talk) 20:02, 1 February 2011 (UTC)
Can anyone tell me if you can use indicators on this game?
-I think they do. I'm NOT sure.. But look through the forums on the official TDU page.. They talk a lot about stuff like this.. You'll find a lot of info.. Also, there's this dude that's a journalist and he has the official game release (not demo) and he's answering lots of questions..
Assuminig by indicators you mean turn signals, no, they are not useable in the game. However you can flash your headlights and honk the horn, as well as rolling up or down your windows. THis is about the extent of the non driving-related control you have of your car. Bigbcraig 23:31, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
Are the 'Civilian Traffic' cars licecned?
Can anyone tell me if the legendary bugatti veyron will be available to drive on the game?
yes it will. You can ask me more questions if you like on my talk page beacause I talk to the Executive producer regularely on YIM. Supra guy 06:16, 7 September 2006 (UTC)
-AWESOME!!!!
yea it is kind of awesome :D Supra guy 07:19, 27 September 2006 (UTC)
Can't wait! :D Ahh....I wonder though, would the Veyron be faster than the CCR?
Where's all the information about the game? Does the person who did that have a reason for deleting it?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.146.137.174 ( talk • contribs)
Ok I updated the USA PC realise date, but I'm not sure about the european one, anyone know? If not I'll just ask the EP.

Many sites have it, plus the EP of TDU. Yes I'd heard 10/24/06 up until recentely, just look at a site such as amazon or any site that sells games. Supra guy 06:29, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
The EU relese of the PC version is supposed to be 16th of february (amazon.co.uk), but on the atari international/uk forums the moderators who are linked to atari are still saying the dates are TBC (to be confirmed). The same goes for PS2 and PSP.
The release date in Australia for pc, ps2 and PSP has been delayed till March 26th 2007. Check official site and I asked at local EB stores so I believe it has been delayed
I made a fair few changes. Hope I haven't trod on anyone's toes! I felt that some of the gameplay needed describing... We still need to describe the different classes of car, the voice chat system, how car upgrades work (not quite as you might think), etc, etc. Cpc464 14:44, 19 October 2006 (UTC)
i'm going to delete the list because i find it VERY, VERY hard to believe that the processor needs to be above 3.8 Ghz.. someone needs to cite the source, then we can leave it on there.. (good luck finding it)
Well according to this thread here: http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=932277&topic=30449424 . He claims it came leaked from Atari. so I am reverting back.
on the atari international or USA forums there is/was a post from eden developer that said the specs for the PC version will be close to the ones in the The_Elder_Scrolls_IV:_Oblivion. Thany7 13:11, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Since the game is in Beta I found the possible Real Requirements for the Beta version here at http://boards.gamefaqs.com/gfaqs/genmessage.php?board=932277&topic=32278692 . They are
Processor: Processor 1GHz or higher
Memory: 256 MB RAM
Hard Disk Space: 7.65 GB free
Operating systems: Windows 2000/XP
DVD-ROM Drive: 4X speed or faster
Video: 64MB Hardware T&L-compatible video card
Sound: DirectX version 9.0c-compatible sound card
DirectX: DirectX version 9.0c (included) or higher Supported
Since this is only for the beta and this was the only source of it I wont post it on the main page like the last one. Anyway The real requirments of the full game might be higher or it might be lower you just never know. Sawblade05 09:28, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I didn't see the aprocessor sppeed above it is 1GHZ or higher. Sawblade05 03:57, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Why don't they have an XBox version of this game?!? They have PS2, PSP, PC, XBox 360. WHERE'S XBOX???
here's my theory: MS and atari singed a contract for a timed exclusivity for the xbox 360 version of the game and probably somewhere in that contract it says no Xbox version. Why did they do that? Well the PS3 relese is here and they are trying/tried to get as many of the 360's out before the PS3. Ive seen a lot of people buying 360's just to play this game so it looks like it worked. Thany7 07:47, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
There needs to be a reference for the PC requirements, which should then be included only in the infobox per the layout suggested by WP:CVG. The trivia section was poorly written and speculative, there is no need for it. ˉˉ anetode ╦╩ 01:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
I added some stuff here that was on my talk page about this so I will post it here as it was:
See Talk:Test Drive Unlimited, this is not vandalism. ˉˉ anetode ╦╩ 01:37, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
The stuff above was on my talk about this and it should be analogized. Sawblade05 02:45, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Just a note that there is a PC beta test running at the moment. It is an Open Test but much like the Battlefield 2142 one, it is for FilePlanet subscribers only. TheGreatZorko 10:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)
Now the beta is closed nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. High-functioning autism.
The official release dates for the PSP versions are:

Informations out-of-date.
Release Region: North America.

Actually, it says that all vesions ( PS2, PSP, PC) will be released on March 20, 2007. Why they keep pushing the release dates out; I.D.C.!!! They said October something before, then for sure February up until now, but I know something's going on.
JustN5:12 00:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
they are waiting for the PC version to get finished. PS2 and PSP version have been done since december but i guess atari wants to relese the games simultaneously.
Checked official site and asked at game stores around Australia, PC, PSP, PS2 wersions have all been delayed untill March 26th. Changed the PC date on the article
Just wondering if anyone knows whether the PC version of the game will require a subscription fee to play (considering it's an MMO and XBox360 users had to sign up with XBox Live)? -- Rambutaan 01:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
There will be no subscription fee. Thany7 07:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Just letting know, the upcoming TDU pack that will be released at the end of the month is already revealing cars, via an Atari representative on the European forums. So far, there has been 2 cars revealed.
I will be updating this list every day, as the Atari representative will be revealing 1 car a day. So here's the list.
People who notice a new car revealed are welcome to update the list here. I decided not to put this on the main article, as the cars haven't been released, they'll be revealed throughout the week.
Here is where you can find the revealed car list.
Thanks. The Helper S 20:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah, I also made a car table for all the cars in TDU currently available based on Nahallac Silverwinds' Forza Motorsport car table. It can be found here.
I was just comparing this article to the F-Zero article (which is deemed a GA) and this one isn't too bad. What can be improved though IMHO (and I might start working on these myself when I get the time):
-- Rambutaan 21:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone confirm the Aussie release date? AFAIK, Atari Australia (the publisher) lists April the 16th IIRC as the release date (or sometime in April) rather than March. Although I have seen places where they quote the March release date (so I'm confused). -- Rambutaan 22:52, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed that this has been mentioned a couple of times in the article... what exactly is it? Perhaps that could be mentioned in the article somewhere... -- Rambutaan 00:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
In the article it has a title saying Sony Playstation 2 version differences, then the text beneath it says that there are some differences in the PS2 AND PSP versions - i was just wondering if they mean both or if PSP just got mixed in by mistake because i dont like the sound of no motorbikes in the psp version :( S-m-r-t 10:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Someone should look to clean up the PS2 Versions differences part of the article, as it is unclear. I would, but I do not have the information on hand.
Gta95 22:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
Here's the so-called "requirements" for Test Drive Unlimited on PC:
Now, here's what I have:
Would either of what I have listed be compatible at all with Test Drive Unlimited on PC? Also, if not, can you have anything higher or better performing than what the requirements lists, providing that it come from the same companies? Everything else I pretty much have, and will have a DVD player installed with more than 8x speed. JustN5:12 22:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
hey wassup? I want to buy this game, but i dunno if my PC can run it, this is what i have
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 at 2.40Ghz
2GB DDR2 RAM
nVidia GeForce 7300GT 512MB DDR2 128bit
Windows Vista Ultimate 32 bits (I also have the XP media center installation disk, if i hate vista i´ll change it lol)
can my system run this game at 1024 x 768?? Big butt gangsta 00:16, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Any reasons why they have to cut out MT to the PS2 and the PSP? Professional Gamer 02:59, 17 June 2007 (UTC)
I think description for DLCs should, but it will makes large change so I test re-editting style of DLC info.

Do you have anything suggestion?-- ja: Pia Carrot 13:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
I am a main contributor of information regarding the upcoming Patch #1 for the PC version of the game. I can say 'main contributor' safely, because I was the person who added most of the current information to this section, as well as adding references/ footnotes. I would like to propose a semi-major change to the article: information regarding the PC Patch should be given its own section, instead of being 'tacked on' to the end of 'Downloadable Content'. Thank you for your time (lol). Bolmedias 12:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Contrary to what's stated in the article, the 'leaked' 1.66A patch from the Atari Australia website is identical to the one officially released on July 17th. 80.137.161.69 17:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
This section requires cleanup- not all of the cars listed under it are buyable- some are unlockable. Bolmedias 09:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey guys, i have noticed that there is no song list on this article, as there is on other racing games articles, like the one u made for need for speed carbon and stuff like that. Can anyone add the soundtrack list please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.192.140.65 ( talk)
And here i show u:
And u say it's against the wikipedia rules?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.92.118.82 ( talk) 19:32, 2 August 2007
Someone has added a soundtrack, but they do not specify which version of the game it's for - it certainly doesn't match my version. If a soundtrack list is included (personally I think it looks out of place) then there should be one for all versions, with information specifying which version each one refers to. 82.26.68.179 ( talk) 21:37, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Car lists are considered game guide material, and are not allowed on wikipedia. Please do not re-add it. DurinsBane87 00:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I removed this because it wasn't verifiable (nor matches most people's experience). The reference for the original section was to a user posted review made before the patch and quite possibly simply the result of a problem with the users own computer configuration. It was not a professional review and niether was the sentiment reflected (or even mentioned) in the majority of other reviews.
On the topic of connectivity and PC servers, the general consensus among users of the official game forums seems to be that actually the majority of problems with connectivity are related to the local computer, and there are steps one can take to rectify the situation such as opening up the correct ports. There was a well documented server outage recently, which affected several platforms simultaniously. However this lasted less than 24 hours. BetaTesterDLA ( talk) 11:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Could people discuss here if they want to continue adding unverifiable criticism of this game. Fan reaction has already been written about using the average user score from metacritic. Linking a thread where an insignificant proportion of users complain about the game is not a verifiable source. If you don't agree then discuss it! BetaTesterDLA ( talk) 17:06, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I've never played this game, but the article is contradictary. It both states that the PS2 version does not include NPCs, and then mentions special NPCs in the PS2 version. Can someone who knows the game fix this, thanks. IDX ( talk) 11:21, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Quote: "The 64-bit platform invariably creates conflicts despite the 4gb video memory that most users have (as recommended by the Atari manufacturer of TDU) as the game tends to draw from the users ram as opposed to dedicated video card memory." This information doesn't seem to be correct, I'm not even sure what that meant. Maybe virtual memory, but I'm not sure. As of now, it's plainly not true and requires editing.

Since this is only for the beta and this was the only source of it I wont post it on the main page like the last one. Anyway The real requirments of the full game might be higher or it might be lower you just never know. Sawblade05 09:28, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
I didn't see the aprocessor sppeed above it is 1GHZ or higher. Sawblade05 03:57, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
Why don't they have an XBox version of this game?!? They have PS2, PSP, PC, XBox 360. WHERE'S XBOX???
here's my theory: MS and atari singed a contract for a timed exclusivity for the xbox 360 version of the game and probably somewhere in that contract it says no Xbox version. Why did they do that? Well the PS3 relese is here and they are trying/tried to get as many of the 360's out before the PS3. Ive seen a lot of people buying 360's just to play this game so it looks like it worked.

There needs to be a reference for the PC requirements, which should then be included only in the infobox per the layout suggested by WP:CVG. The trivia section was poorly written and speculative, there is no need for it. ˉˉ anetode ╦╩ 01:35, 6 November 2006 (UTC)

Just a note that there is a PC beta test running at the moment. It is an Open Test but much like the Battlefield 2142 one, it is for FilePlanet subscribers only. TheGreatZorko 10:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Actually, it says that all vesions ( PS2, PSP, PC) will be released on March 20, 2007. Why they keep pushing the release dates out; I.D.C.!!! They said October something before, then for sure February up until now, but I know something's going on.
JustN5:12 00:13, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
they are waiting for the PC version to get finished. PS2 and PSP version have been done since december but i guess atari wants to relese the games simultaneously.
Checked official site and asked at game stores around Australia, PC, PSP, PS2 wersions have all been delayed untill March 26th. Changed the PC date on the article
Just wondering if anyone knows whether the PC version of the game will require a subscription fee to play (considering it's an MMO and XBox360 users had to sign up with XBox Live)? -- Rambutaan 01:40, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
There will be no subscription fee. Thany7 07:04, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
Just letting know, the upcoming TDU pack that will be released at the end of the month is already revealing cars, via an Atari representative on the European forums. So far, there has been 2 cars revealed.
I will be updating this list every day, as the Atari representative will be revealing 1 car a day. So here's the list.
People who notice a new car revealed are welcome to update the list here. I decided not to put this on the main article, as the cars haven't been released, they'll be revealed throughout the week.
Here is where you can find the revealed car list.
Thanks. The Helper S 20:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Oh yeah, I also made a car table for all the cars in TDU currently available based on Nahallac Silverwinds' Forza Motorsport car table. It can be found here.
I was just comparing this article to the F-Zero article (which is deemed a GA) and this one isn't too bad. What can be improved though IMHO (and I might start working on these myself when I get the time):
-- Rambutaan 21:54, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
Can anyone confirm the Aussie release date? AFAIK, Atari Australia (the publisher) lists April the 16th IIRC as the release date (or sometime in April) rather than March. Although I have seen places where they quote the March release date (so I'm confused). -- Rambutaan 22:52, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
I've noticed that this has been mentioned a couple of times in the article... what exactly is it? Perhaps that could be mentioned in the article somewhere... -- Rambutaan 00:52, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
In the article it has a title saying Sony Playstation 2 version differences, then the text beneath it says that there are some differences in the PS2 AND PSP versions - i was just wondering if they mean both or if PSP just got mixed in by mistake because i dont like the sound of no motorbikes in the psp version :( S-m-r-t 10:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
Someone should look to clean up the PS2 Versions differences part of the article, as it is unclear. I would, but I do not have the information on hand.

Here's the so-called "requirements" for Test Drive Unlimited on PC:
Now, here's what I have:
Would either of what I have listed be compatible at all with Test Drive Unlimited on PC? Also, if not, can you have anything higher or better performing than what the requirements lists, providing that it come from the same companies? Everything else I pretty much have, and will have a DVD player installed with more than 8x speed. JustN5:12 22:20, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Do you have anything suggestion?-- ja: Pia Carrot 13:44, 28 June 2007 (UTC)
I am a main contributor of information regarding the upcoming Patch #1 for the PC version of the game. I can say 'main contributor' safely, because I was the person who added most of the current information to this section, as well as adding references/ footnotes. I would like to propose a semi-major change to the article: information regarding the PC Patch should be given its own section, instead of being 'tacked on' to the end of 'Downloadable Content'. Thank you for your time (lol). Bolmedias 12:35, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Contrary to what's stated in the article, the 'leaked' 1.66A patch from the Atari Australia website is identical to the one officially released on July 17th. 80.137.161.69 17:50, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
This section requires cleanup- not all of the cars listed under it are buyable- some are unlockable. Bolmedias 09:55, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
Hey guys, i have noticed that there is no song list on this article, as there is on other racing games articles, like the one u made for need for speed carbon and stuff like that. Can anyone add the soundtrack list please? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.192.140.65 ( talk)
And here i show u:
And u say it's against the wikipedia rules?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.92.118.82 ( talk) 19:32, 2 August 2007
Someone has added a soundtrack, but they do not specify which version of the game it's for - it certainly doesn't match my version. If a soundtrack list is included (personally I think it looks out of place) then there should be one for all versions, with information specifying which version each one refers to. 82.26.68.179 ( talk) 21:37, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Car lists are considered game guide material, and are not allowed on wikipedia. Please do not re-add it. DurinsBane87 00:58, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
I removed this because it wasn't verifiable (nor matches most people's experience). The reference for the original section was to a user posted review made before the patch and quite possibly simply the result of a problem with the users own computer configuration. It was not a professional review and niether was the sentiment reflected (or even mentioned) in the majority of other reviews.
On the topic of connectivity and PC servers, the general consensus among users of the official game forums seems to be that actually the majority of problems with connectivity are related to the local computer, and there are steps one can take to rectify the situation such as opening up the correct ports. There was a well documented server outage recently, which affected several platforms simultaniously. However this lasted less than 24 hours. BetaTesterDLA ( talk) 11:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Could people discuss here if they want to continue adding unverifiable criticism of this game. Fan reaction has already been written about using the average user score from metacritic. Linking a thread where an insignificant proportion of users complain about the game is not a verifiable source. If you don't agree then discuss it! BetaTesterDLA ( talk) 17:06, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
I've never played this game, but the article is contradictary. It both states that the PS2 version does not include NPCs, and then mentions special NPCs in the PS2 version. Can someone who knows the game fix this, thanks. IDX ( talk) 11:21, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
Quote: "The 64-bit platform invariably creates conflicts despite the 4gb video memory that most users have (as recommended by the Atari manufacturer of TDU) as the game tends to draw from the users ram as opposed to dedicated video card memory." This information doesn't seem to be correct, I'm not even sure what that meant. Maybe virtual memory, but I'm not sure. As of now, it's plainly not true and requires editing.
