You shouldn't even need to ask that.

I've actually put more hours into TDU2 than I did GT5
GT5 hasn't been played since release week.. I should probably pick it up again at some point
pick it up and go and trade it in?
That's what I should do as I've barely touched it either.
Pick it up from my pile of games and use the PS3 for something other than a BluRay player

I think if you're a real petrol head Forza 3 still holds the crown. It's the closest thing there is to the real thing (debatable, maybe). Same applies to GT5, if you ignore the snot worthy controller support.
If you're comparing the TD series to either of these games, you're off to a sour start before you even completed the first licence. TD is basically just a bit of fun, and the more you progress the more fun there is to be had.
The reason there aren't many reviews yet is because the game is very much focused around it's MP factor, and to review it before there are any real number of people playing it would be unfair.
Yes, the handling is diabolical - I wouldn't even call it arcade. At least with arcade there is the whiff of an attempt to mimic real life. However, other aspects of the game excel hugely. In the first sequence with the California, the engine and the noise on up-shift instantly reminded me of when I drove the car last year. All of the cars sound just like their real life counterparts - and the same can be said visually
A lot of people in this thread seem to think the graphics really aren't up to much, which I cannot understand for the life of me - they look amazing! Especially the environments and weather effects, which help the game to give of a proper sense of 'driving'. Something which a lot of games fail to capture (GT5 in particular)
I don't think I'll ever pick up a driving game and play it to the same level that I did Forza 3. There is simply nothing which will come close to the geometry/realism which the game reeks of, but TD is still a great game IMO and those who don't appreciate it were probably expecting too much. What with the 5 or 6 years it took to develop GT5 (which is already catching dust on my shelf) it doesn't seem so shabby!

+1 mines doing this

Guys mine was doing this yesterday. Think there is a bug. Take out your internet connection so it can't connect to xbox live and try again.
Mine started doing it after I got d/c from xbox live and when logged back in it went to home screen of TDU and has done it since.

I don't know why people are moaning about the handling. I chose the one with no assists and I think it's quite good. I think the only problem it has is misrepresentation of speed. You go round a corner at 70 but it feels like 40 so you don't slow down enough.
The only problem with handling is brakes, I think they seem to be either on hard or off. Sometimes you brake going into a corner and you've stop much earlier than you expected.
I think like how you feel the bumps of the road.

Don't think anybody is, and I don't think TDU2 has ever been portrayed as a a racing sim?
exactly my point, forza has been mentioned a few times in this thread.
Fiesta ST-2
Is anybody else not being able to load their game on the 360? Doing my nut in, can't even play the game

Its a pointless comparison. Physics aside I'm enjoying this game more than Forza.
One gripe is that some of the engine sounds are very poor on TDU2.

+ 1 for engine sounds. the intro bit where you r in the Ferrari in the garage, then you go out side for a spin, both sound completely different.
but all in all, not every game can be completely perfect.

This cannot be compared to Forza. This game is more about letting you drive you favourite cars down those country lanes you enjoy so much in real life. It's not about getting there in the fastest time, it's about enjoying the journey. The steering is different but is by no means rubbish. I like the engine sounds.
I don't like the no xbox live bug.

Anyone managed to go online on this yet?

Sounds like you guys have done loads already. I keep ending up driving down roads I haven't been down for the fun of it.
Anyone want to meet up online tonight?
