Offline Mode?

[(OKU) Paradox]

I asked this question before, and since it's been a while I figured I'd ask it again. Is there an offline mode yet like both Test Drive Unlimited 1 and Test Drive Unlimited 2?

There is no offline mode for TDUSC as of yet.

Sadly, I don't think TDU 1 ever got an offline mode.

TDU 1 did. It can actively be played right now with no hassle on PC, as well as its Xbox 360, PS3, PS2 and PSP versions.

To my knowledge Solar Crown is the only game of the trilogy that refuses to add an offline mode, which means its older siblings from over a decade ago continue to surpass its long-term functionality.

And it wont ever get an offline mode either. These guys can't be bothered to listen to the requests and demands of the people that support them. Going to be real interesting to see how they recover from this.

There actually is. TDUSC has no offline mode because of lazy business decisions by both Nacon and KT Racing. And even if it did, the game is long considered a lost cause, and its not even a year old.

The developers have mentioned in the past that they want to ensure that the game is preserved after the end of the game's life and that they are considering solutions for this. This means that we cannot expect an offline patch in the near future. It sounds more like they may bring one before they shut down the servers. Personally, that's not enough for me. Either they make the game playable offline or they will never see any money from me.

They will never make the game playable offline, so they will never see any money from you.

They added a garbage anti-cheat. What would even be the point of bringing this game offline anymore?

I have heard about the anti-cheat as well. Once again, they've shot themselves in the foot.
They made a game always online which nobody wanted, they advertised the game as competitive multiplayer which nobody wanted and now the silly anti-cheat. They're at least 5 to 10 years behind the curve with all these things.

No need for anti-cheat. They can do a zoom meeting and brief the players about the guidelines...

UbiSoft haven't implemented anything, anywhere yet... just promises.

If developers plan to only "rent" you a game to play, and never let you "own" it or play it "offline", the simple solution is to offer the game for say, $.3.50 US and charge only for added content.

At the $3.50 game purchase price point (gppp) you have the value of about what the game is worth.

As another company who values the customer above all else I wish you an exciting future.

Solar Crown is still a new game. But have to wait to enter End of Life in the future, it must depend on the developer. (If he doesn't add an offline mode, it will be Stop Killing Games like The Crew 1.)

How do you even play this game online? There seem to be races that require at least one other player to be online but I can never do them because no one ever joins the lobby. Why ad an anti cheat to a game no one plays online?
