I noticed that Test Drive Unlimited (TDU) doesn't yet have a page in the Wiki/list. I did a search in the forums, and there are 3 threads (not counting this one) about the game. All of these either state, or at least imply, that TDU supports widescreen natively, and the support seems to be Hor+. One of the threads even has several multimonitor, surround-display screenshots. It appears that the HUD (and possibly other parts of the game interface) are stretched, but the in-game visuals (cars, road, scenery, etc) look just fine. I've read on the Atari forums that a LOT of people have complaints about bugs in the game, and continual delays of the latest patch. However, it seems widescreen support has been there, even as early as the beta releases of TDU. Game Information Publisher: Atari Developer: Eden Games Genre: Racing ("Massively Open Online Racing" according to Atari.com) Release Date: March (20 or 28) 2007 Players: 1 (Massively Multiplayer) Version: Retail (from Atari.com) With the ability for thousands of gamers to play simultaneously, Test Drive® Unlimited is M.O.O.R.: Massively Open Online Racing. This is a truly unprecedented experience for racing gamers and is the ultimate automotive experience for car and bike enthusiasts alike. Once in the game, players can visit the most sophisticated car and bike dealers to purchase new vehicles or simply take them for a spin. Gamers can then participate in 8 player races or take vehicles for a drive on over 1000 miles of diverse Hawaiian roads and pass by thousands of other real players. Players can also collect and trade rare performance parts and customize vehicles. Finally, gamers win races, challenges, missions and tournaments to earn credits and purchase new cars, bikes, rare performance parts, clothes, apparel, homes and garages.

I just added TDU to the MGL. But if you want it to say "Hor +," you have to provide some screenshots, one at a 4:3 resolution, another at a 16:10 resolution. Further detail requires a detailed report. |

As I don't have the game myself, I won't be able to provide said screenshots, as yet. However, there is a screenshot of the game in both standard and widescreen in this thread, by MAXLD. Additionally, there are even some surround screenshots over here, by Paddy the Wak. **edit** Oh, and from MAXLD's screens (first link), it looks like the interface (HUD) is actually NOT stretched at standard widescreen ratios (16:9, 16:10), but only at multimonitor, surround resolutions. |
