Looking forward to this game. I'm hoping they don't just ditch the great map of United States they've created and remastered though. Hawaii is a lot smaller, so surely that means a smaller game world on their new game. Hopefully, similar to TDU2 there is an airport system to go back and forth between US & Hawaii. Think you've missed the points of the boats and planes though. Yes, cars are by far the focus, and planes and boats are an after thought, but the point is, they're there. Offers freedom to still do what you want in the game. Chill on a boat, fly over mountains, race down roads etc. That's what the crew is about. Planes and boats may not be "great" but they're really not bad.

Got in the closed beta, so interested to see how it goes. Thanks for your input!

I was hoping for planes to come back so I'm glad to see they're returning. I really enjoyed TC2 so I'll be trying this one out as well

I'm a racing nut and spent an immeasurable about of time into the Crew 2, at level 2300~, I'm absolutely excited to experience Hawai'i after Test Drive Unlimted. One thing i wish we could have is the ability to purchase property and custmize that like old TDU, considering the new TDU Solar Crown only gives you a hotel.

I’m super curious about this game for several reasons. I use to live in Oahu and I’m curious how well they replicated the island. I also love Forza Horizon 5 and have hundreds of hours into it. This looks to be a straight up copy, but the formula is fun. It all boils down to how it feels to drive the cars and how they dole out the currency and rewards.

planes and boats were a thing in The Crew 2 since launch, but have always been a background vehicles

3:10 If you’re driving a plane, that might be your problem. Should try flying it

I do agree that the planes and boats in this the crew specifically aren’t needed but you gotta give credit for at least having the option in a mainly car based racing game.

The way they stack the difficulty is each car has a performance level that you need to upgrade with better parts to tune up your ride so if you go into a hard race with a basic car the other AI cars with suped up cars with faster top speeds and horse power etc will smoke you

Just glancing at the screen this could easily be mistaken for Forza Horizon. The environment, the UI, the festival elements like banners along the track.. Not saying that’s a bad thing, it just would have been nice if they went for more of a unique look.

I mean I own The Crew 2 and have around 100+ hrs in it. I can't just unsee how this game was more than likely a dlc for TC 2. From the handling of the vehicles, to the way gravity works (cars feel heavy) and just the game engine as a whole + the UI thrown on top of it.

In my opinion after 10 hours with the closed beta, I can say one thing, it’s a good game, not quality game, unbound is a good and quality game, forza is a good and quality game, the problem with crew is just that the physics are trying to be all things but simcade, arcade or simulator if that makes sense, there’s inconsistencies with the physics, the drift never feels good or satisfying you will try and try and but the physics are still limited, here’s the thing I was right about this game, the physics are like crew 2 but more understeer to stop the Cars from being twitchy or feel janky, in terms of gameplay forza horizon 5 wins, story need for speed unbound wins and for sounds and variety crew motorfest wins, it’s nothing new from crew 2 it’s in many cases a more of a down grade

​@carlosmartinez3020 the crew just have more variety and bigger open world. NFS obviously has the best drifts and feels faster. Forza is more authentic, has more cars, more modes, way better graphics, and mechanics are better. Forza problem is the open world and punishment it gives for crashing or knowledge about road temperature to those who don't like that. NFS speed can be a fast and furious clone to hipster title. If you want a consistent story like game to be the same for the sequel will leave you disappointed. However, NFS I'm most proud when it comes to trying new things but it's biggest disappointments imo is the lack of new contents/updates post launch. The Crew is like an all around good game. Has more replayability but like any Ubi game you can't help the post launch updates are too repetitive. All in all the crew should focus on having more players play together online at the same time than the general 4 player coop or 8 player open world pvp.

The Crew 2 and this one would seem great if they only made the world of classic linear tracks that are fictionally made, Adventure Racing or Crusin racing games with cars boats and planes around volcanos or a oil rig during a thunder storm with crashing waves.

The flight looks like you're sliding around on the air

Honestly the Crew is incredibly underwhelming now. The old story in the original game was amazing to me, with a pretty interesting storyline and a natural progression of unlocks, but was completely abandoned for this weird Forza/GranTurismo-like “story” of Crew 2 which is almost nonexistent. It’s more of a “turn your brain off and play” type of racing game. Not taking place in Continental America feels wrong for the series at this point. It feels like another time I’m going to shake my head after launch thinking it’s another series and IP that Ubisoft doesn’t deserve

Looks pretty neat!

I play racing games as a cool off from comp games or grindy single players so I’m not that great but I’m not going to lie.. I think it’s just a skill issue and not the ai. Tho I didn’t play the game so I have no room to speak.

I played the living hell out of the first Crew-I put 400 hours into that game, making it one of my most played ever. I was very disappointed in The Crew 2 because one, the story was a massive downgrade from the first (it was virtually non-existent) and two, they didn’t have MP on release and said it’d be another SIX MONTHS before they added it. I wasn’t going to wait that long so I sold the game and moved on. I may get this one though because I really miss The Crew and the new TDU is looking kind of rough…

It will be forgotten very fast after release. I really respect you being honest instead of over hyping the game like 99% of people talking about this game.

Ubisoft seriously needs to do something about the nature graphics in their games. They are nauseatingly flat. They also reflect the light in very weird ways, and lack proper shadowing.

Can you not pick a car of your choosing for a race? I keep hearing you're forced to drive a pre selected car, and the one you upgrade, is just for open world driving.

Some of your game stream got really choppy at times, was that how it really performed? I'd imagine Ubisoft would have ensured that the PC's being streamed from could handle the game. Otherwise, they would have been better off streaming it off of a PS5 or Xbox Series X where the game performs at a perfect 60fps.

Recently picked up The Crew 2 on sale. For what it is, arcade racer, I have fun while playing it. I already have my picks of sim racers I play. What surprised me with The Crew 2 is how enjoyable it is just to pick a car or bike and just drive around the map. I find it calming, hehe. But, the planes and boats, I don't know, they are just too "arcady". I feel like there is no depth as to how you use them to navigate the world. I was hoping that they fixed how boats and planes handle in Motorfest, but judging from your comment it doesn't seem so, shame.
