Multiplat The Crew

[Balony_pony16]

To be honest this game was never on my wishlist. I always thought Drive club would be the standout next Gen drive game. But wow this game looks like fun.

I can see a BigFooty crew like in GTA V

Is this the one where you have to pay real money for fast travel?

Dont know... But you can race from city to city which can take up to 3-4 hours. Epic race!!!!

Probably is. It's a full priced retail game with micro transactions. Pet hate of mine but I'll probably still get this game providing the game's still good without micro transactions.

 

[TheHoneyBadger]

As long as I can get the full value out of it without paying microtransactions even if I have to spend more time, I'll get it.

"We can confirm that performance parts can be unlocked through progression as well as microtransactions," a Ubisoft representative told VideoGamer. "All content can be unlocked through progression, but for busy gamers who want to save some time, they will have the opportunity to buy some items in-game."

What's the point of this game?

 

[boydsno1]

MMO driving game. Looks interesting i guess.

What's the point of this game?

I think the gimmick is just how big the world is and how much of America is represented in this game. It's probably enough to get me to buy it.

From what I've heard, literally just on this thread about being open world America is seems interesting.

But how do you play? Just racing?

 

[Magma]

interested by the concept, it sounds huge from what i've read.

That's the second beta, the first one finished a few weeks ago.
Seems like it will be an enjoyable game going by the comments of those that played the beta.

So I'm playing the beta.... Is this legitimately capped at 30fps or is that just for the beta?

 

[JordanWCE]

Forgot about this, got my key a month ago and didn't use it, Ubisoft must be desperate because they sent me a reminder that I haven't played yet.

Well, this is Ubisoft. I wouldn't be surprised.

 

[sacka]

You can sign up for the console beta atm.

Actually seems like quite a decent game, but locking a game (a racing game at that) at 30 is beyond dumb. It's effectively punishing PC players to vindicate their decision to keep the consoles at 1080/30...
Ah well, there'll be a workaround.

Cheers I never really get into racing games but this one looks interesting.

[mickelboy182]

Super dumb, though as I said will take all of 2 minutes for a workaround.
Really disingenuous though of devs to try and claim it as an intended feature and not a compromise. You can still have an optimal experience for all players without gimping those who have superior equipment.

 

[silverscope]

Downloading the beta now. Will see what all the fuss is about later.

About the whole 30FPS part I'm sure modders will get it right for us like the did Watch Dogs on PC. Mind you the Dev's should be the ones doing that in the first place.


But free beta is free so let's see how it goes.

is the beta for consoles available too? i signed up for that
