Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown Comes With a Big Catch
03.03.2024 - 00:33 / gamerant.com / Brett Byll
Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown looks promising, but it comes with a downside that may turn away interested players, and that's an always-online requirement. Solar Crown is anupcoming racing game with a focus on its multiplayer sandbox. Slated for a 2024 release, the game leans into its branding not only as a racer but as a lifestyle experience, allowing players to explore the lush nature of Hong Kong Island, complete with offroad driving, at 1:1 scale to the real-world location.
The game focuses on a shadowy organization named Radiant, known for enjoying «prestige, cars, and competition,» sponsoring a racing competition called the Solar Crown. It seems like the vision for the game is to offer an expansive campaign that spans the island, utilizing the open-world format to its benefit to highlight the speed and variety of cars at the player's disposal. The game also features a multiplayer component, and Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown's Explorer trailer delivers the notion that a race could start at any minute because there could be anyone driving around the next road, patch of dirt, or line of trees. Though the idea is ambitious, games like Death Stranding have accomplished similar feats in different genres, suggesting it could work.
Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown's online connection is required not just to access the online features, but to work in general. This aspect of the game is a red flag to some, as there are some people who have current-gen systems but do not necessarily have consistent or quality online access. Because of this one requirement, some would-be players may choose to spend money on a different racer.
An online requirement has become a trend with newer games, with a noteworthy example being Arkane's Redfall, a game where the developer ultimately began to work on enabling an offline single-player mode after enough outcry from fans. Solar Crown's developer KT Racing has quality on the mind at the moment, as the studio stated in a press release that it is focusing on ironing out the game's performance and stability before giving out a release date, but it will be interesting to see if the developer acknowledges concerns from fans about Solar Crown's always-online nature.
Despite these concerns, gaming has been entering a new status quo for some time now. With so many devices that rely on the internet, and better internet being more easily accessible in most areas, it is a certainty that some games will use that reliance to their advantage.

Every Item In Call Of Duty's New Clothing Line Comes With An In-Game Bonus
Call of Duty Warzone doesn't exactly lend itself to skins in the same way Fortnite does. Sure, Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg have been added as operators, but you can't truly customize your in-game self to look just the way you want as doing so would scupper your attempts to remain hidden from enemies. That doesn't mean you can't look good while you play in real life though, and now you can do so by wearing some official Call of Duty merch courtesy of Boohooman.
