Atari confirmed in his latest financial report that the Test Drive Unlimited developer Eden Games is no more and the studio has been closed.
One year ago today in North America, Eden Games took what was once a mobile game, and made it into a console port, just for the Nintendo Switch and next month, they’re releasing its sequel! To celebrate the release, this is our Gear.Club Unlimited 2 interview!
Will keep an eye to see how this turns out considering they've developed it properly for Switch and this one isnt just a mobile port. Could be good.
I didn't get the first one since there was no online play and for racing games and for its longevity I feel a game like this needs some multiplayer. It sounds like there will be in the sequel so I might just buy this. I look forward to seeing the reviews, hopefully positive.
GS: "Gear.Club Unlimited, developed by Eden Games and published by Microïds, is to be released on December 1st on Nintendo Switch."
Maybe it's just me, but there's a certainly flatness/blandness to the design and graphics that makes this look like a mobile game. Eden's done good work in the past, loved Test Drive Unlimited, but there's a certain low quality feel to this that I just can't shake.
Eh, we'll see how it goes when it's released.
It literally is a mobile game. It's a free android game but this is an enhanced port with added stuff.
NE: "Microïds today published a new trailer for Gear.Club Unlimited, its racer lined up for Switch. The video reconfirms a launch window of Q4 2017. Microïds says Gear.Club Unlimited is “a genuinely realistic racing experience where you take the most incredible cars through breath-taking environments."
Looks pretty dry and generic to me. Also, graphics are hardly anything to write home about despite what other commentors may think. Cars are pretty standard quality and the environment I saw looked a bit "cartoonish".
Seems like a typical, "Our console needs that semi-serious racing game STAT!" type of game.
It's actually a really good game on mobile. It just needed physical controls, which it's getting on the Switch. Graphics aren't bad on mobile, but the Switch version will likely be touched up.
Oh wow so it's a mobile game? I guess it's fitting considering the Switches hardware.
It is mobile, but it's still a good game. It's made by Eden Games who made the Test Drive Unlimited games. gear.club has some of the best driving physics on mobile, more in line with what Eden has done on consoles.

Not easy to survive these days
Good riddance. Their games had the worst handling this gen. Let Playground Games show them how to make an open-world racer (Forza Horizon).
That sucks for Atari but they have nothing left now apart from a few mobile games
I know TDU2 was technically a dissappointment, but me and a friend are car lovers and clocked up over 100hours each on that game. I would love a good sequel.
I hope Forza Horizon can deliver a similar, yet far better experience.
