TDU Solar Crown vs Foza Horizon 5

[VTG]

1. Graphics
Car details, paint reflection, environments detail, sky in the day or night, weather effect FH5 much better then TDU. But in interior details TDU SC are better,
TDU have bug blurry image in driver view

2. Handling
TDU look good, I think little better then FH5. But in transmission with clutch I feel FH5 are better then TDU

3. Sound
TDU sound too small, I think it's bug.

4. NPC Traffic
I saw much bug in TDU traffic, this ruined my games. NPC car turh left or right sharply, this ruined in highway. I never saw AI Traffic like this in FH5.

5. Features
TDU the winner, the first time racing games can turn down or up the window, turn on or off car lamp, use high beam, use hazard and turn left or right lamp. I love this features, this make going realistic

6. Map Size
FH5 win, FH5 have longest highway, bigger map then TDU, I feel small TDU map in Hong Kong, and shortest highway in TDU.

7. Map Environments
TDU have much variation, have modern city, street and more. I like Hong Kong map and more Asia map.

8. Car List
I don't think TDU will have same like FH5 update every month for new car. The Crew Motorfest are poor car list this make me surrender to play Motorfest, I'm not sport car fan. FH5 have much variation car and today FH5 have China car brand this very good. I hope TDU will like FH5, not only add sport car or super car, but SUV, JEEP, Truck, EV and more.

9. Performance
TDU SC many frame drop in some area in range 50-60fps with frame generation, DLSS quality on 1440p. And some area I can get 70-120fps. When I turn off frame generation games running in 45-60fps.
in FH5 without frame generation I can get 7-80fps, with frame generation I get 100-165fps.
TDU SC have much bug in performance. This will be terrible in 4K for 4080 or 4090.

10. Photo Mode
TDU photo mode very bad, poor features, you can't change the weather, time or day, mud in car and more. I love play FH5 because photo mode.

Not available in TDU, disappointment

you are not seriously comparing a 3 year old finished game with a 2 days old demo, are you ?

12. solar little studio (i imagine 50 employee i dont know the real number) versus FH5 microsoft big studio ( i imagine 500 employee i dont know the real number)... so not the same working force.... wrc are great, but for a open world (their first one) seem not enought....

at this point im very sad that microsoft didnt bought the TDU license... and in the same time microsoft own the license of the best space opera EVER (freelancer) and didnt make a sequel...

KT Racing.... 148 employees. Nacon... 430 employees). We have no clue how many Nacon employees help KT Racing with the game.

Playground Games... 378 employees

Playground Games is indeed larger, but KT Racing sure isn't small. For team of 148 this game is below par.

no like i agree, right now TDU looks pretty good compared to fh5, but the game isn't even out, we have like 10-15 cars avaliable, the game is not in a state where it can be compared to another game, doesn't matter if it's better or worse. i just feel like we need to compare TDU at it's release, not now

You're not serious, are you. Solar Crown looks like PS4 era game and runs EVEN worse. How can such obsolete looking game be unable to generate 100FPS on a 3080 Ti on 1080p even? How can DX12 game released in 2024 year NOT SUPPORT HYPERTHREADING? FXAA is non-functional and aliasing makes the game completely unreadable, but FSR/DLSS make the game look like 480p, like what is this even https://i.imgur.com/J8GcobG.png.

I agree with many points, but comparing established title, which has been polished for over decade to studio which never done multiplayer open world game like this and basically built this game from scratch.
Ofc it could have been better at this stage and there is plenty of room for improvement as well, not to mention they've limited amount of content (its pretty much what was available during the closed beta), so its still pre-release build.

This comparison cannot be taken seriously, you are comparing a baby who is months away from coming out of the womb against a university student who is doing graduate school to get a degree in the world of work... Did you want fight betwen both games? Well no, it's impossible, KT has no experience, and Microsoft studios have a lifetime making the same game every time. so be mature and coherent.

By the other side, you are comparing a DEMO, is incomplete and with a lack of content, and hundreds of bugs, tYou comparson has non sence, at least wait until the game be released...

[JDumbz]

Dogwater comparison tbh.

[★BigShot★]

TDU has been in development for many years now so its no baby, One thing you learn over many years of gaming is that you should never judge a game based on it's potential. It is an extremely rare event to see such a game ever come to realize it.

[tnord1113]

You have got to be kidding right?...

There is very little comparison.... FH5 is 10/10 and TDU is 3/10 at best.

They are not even in the same ballpark.

TDU is like a kids game in quality & game presentation... not to mention the ridiculous amount of grinding that will likely be required to earn $ for cars & parts. Seriously who the hell has time for this?

I tried it with rtx 4090. TDU demo was a total waste of time at this point. Can't believe the devs released the demo in this condition. Glad I didn't waste $. Call me when FH6 comes out.

Honestly, I can't believe how many youtubers are going nuts over this game; obviously click bat at this point.

I am not trying to offend anyone here... this is my 1st exposure to the TDU series. Maybe back in the day this was acceptable... but not in 2024.

Even if they get the technical issues resolved... which is highly unlikely given only 3 months to release, it will not be worth top $ and should not be considered in the same ballpark as the Forza series.

The launch date is 3 months from now. The demo shows like 99% of how the game will launch. And it's in a very bad state, it's been released probably to collect Nacon accounts in order to rebounce the incoming loss from data selling.

You clearly like progression in forza, by that I mean getting few hundreds cars without much of an effort and for me this was main reason I've stopped at FH4. I've been coming to TDU 1 for long years, same with TDU 2 - for me it was all about cruising and getting those cars u rly wanted and it took some time and effort.

If u never played TDU then I would assume u just have this mindset of Forza always being the greatest, while 1st TDU came out long before FH series and to this day there is not a game which came out and been anywhere close to that title, based on what I want from these games.

I dont mind them having any issues right now as long as the feedback can help get most of them solved. It definitely feels like open beta, not like a demo in a way it was used back in a day.

[SirHawk]

Man, you're coping hard or are one of the devs drones to counter critique. Locking stuff behind progression system is trash, in TDU1 you had everything available from the get-go as well, you just had to race a bit. Guess what you need to do in Forza? Oh right - just race and launch wheelspins. This game feels like late alpha.
