In the Crew You can Drive from New York to Los Angeles in one shot. The trips takes you hours to do. You can also Drive from NYC to Florida as well. Also if you're only every car in the game is an actual person.

been looking forward to this game since announcement

"Also if you're only every car in the game is an actual person."

That's incorrect. There are AI civilian drivers in the online game. They were even shown in the E3 demo.

No, I meant if you're "Online" not "Only". Yes it is true every car in the game is an actually person when playing online. Watch the interview. That was E3 this was done after E3 in Late July in NYC. Information has changed since.

I was blown away by The Crew when I saw it's first gameplay trailer, it looks amazing!

This and DriveClub will be my next gen racers.

porkChop3917d ago

I know you meant playing online, and I did watch the interview. You must be deaf. He clearly says:

"So those other cars next to you? Those could be AI but they could be other players."

He's saying that there are BOTH AI and players online. In the online demos they've shown you can clearly see lots AI civillian cars driving throughout the cities.

I agree... The crew is looking great and more like the NFS we have been demanding for years. Thanks Ubisoft.

BLACKBIBLE3917d ago

Also if you have an Tablet you can customize your cars offline then upload them later. Watch the interview.

Redinfamy3917d ago

A cool racing game MMO which is huge , literally.

XboxFun3917d ago

Yea, this game looked really awesome. Definitely have to keep my eye out for it when it drops.

SkullBlade1693917d ago

I haven't really liked NFS since NFS: Underground. All this extra cut-scene stuff and police chases spoil it for me.

I really just want to race...

MWong3917d ago

I am ok with the police chases, the thing that spoils it for me is the lack of customization. When I play a racing game I want to be able to customize my ride.

Wait. I don't get it. I reported on something that I recently noticed. I did mention in my article that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't gone to play The Division 2. That said, if this was nearly a week ago, I wouldn't know, as NO ONE REPORTED ON IT! Not IGN. Not Gamespot. Not Kotaku. No one.

You got people here complaining that there are any real gaming journalists and game journalism sucks, but when someone is acting, doing something to make something known to the public about what a company is doing. What do you do? You poke fun at it. What is it that people want? Do you want to complain for the sake of it? Or do you actually want people to do something to make those who aren't in the know aware of the shady stuff that's happening and to sound the alarm?

It's the "oh well" setting in on digital users. They don't care they don't own their stuff for some odd reason. 🤷🏽.

FullmetalRoyale31d ago

Good for you! People sometimes just feel the need to show how little they actually have to say. Very respectful dressing down, btw, which is another thing we need more of.

fan_of_gaming31d ago

I appreciate your article,
- "If this isn’t considered both a “WTF” moment and setting a dangerous precedent, I don’t know what else it would be"
- "it could also signal other publishers that removing games from our accounts would be okay"
- "Maybe those firmly against this digital future have a point after all"
- "This. Is. Fucked. Up."

As someone against an only-digital/streaming future for entertainment content (movies/TV shows/games/books), it feels like talking into a void about the points above on this website, or on Twitter, or with my friends, etc. People don't get it. I'm strongly contemplating whether this will be my last generation of PlayStation & Xbox consoles (I'm confident enough that Nintendo's next system will still support physical media and that their 1st-party games won't have online-required installation or usage restrictions).

Chocoburger31d ago

He is one of the long running trolls of this site, he never says anything positive. Every single one of his posts are either incorrect or flat out stupid. Pay him no mind.

OtterX30d ago

Thank you @shadowhaxor, we appreciate you.

Yet people will sit here and still say that digital is better 🙃

TheSenorCheese31d ago

Welcome to the era where you no longer own your games.

gvrd001931d ago (Edited 31d ago )

I'm so done with Ubisoft, removing games one paid for is a new low...
Bye Ubisoft,
You've done f#c*ed it up !

Chocoburger31d ago

This was me 9 years ago, when I realized all they wanted to make were filler boring games that are packed with micro-trash-actions.

Snooze! Moving on from Ubi-junk!

vTuro2431d ago

I see they're trying their best to surpass Activision Blizzard for being the most hated gaming company. Keep at it, Ubisoft, I believe!
