I remember Alex saying he thought the driving felt pretty crappy. Hope that's what they've been focused on improving.

It was decent, but not great when I played it at PAX last year, so I guess that's an improvement over crappy?

Forced parity and micro-transactions ahoy!

Will be skipping this one for sure.

Kinda?

EDIT: Ok, this looks pretty awesome somehow. When that charger drifts into the lane on two wheels it somehow got me super excited.

Everything about this looks like the fun parts of driving around with friends in GTA5 Online, except a lot cooler.

@nags: They also have that always online bullshit that will kick you out the to title screen if you lose connection, even in solo mode. I hadn't seen much of The Crew before today, but it seriously took me about less than an hour to go from "ooo a trailer? maybe this will be good" to "yeah all these things I just read about this game made me not interested in it at all anymore."

Everytime either The Crew or Drive Club is mentioned, I successfully manage to mix the two of them up. You're welcome?

1. 30fps on PS4/XB1

2. Microtransactions (Pay2Win)

3. The Crew developer: "so it's something that’s important to us not to branch out and not do individual things for individual platforms"

4. Loss of net connection = back to title screen, even in solo mode

5. The Crew on PC will require uPlay, even on Steam

Dunno that this is the game for me.

Judging from this trailer i can tell you two things about this game.
1. it has cars in it.
2. it has motion blur.

I really got hooked when it zoomed out and revealed that there were a bunch of people playing. I think they're on to something here.

You couldn't discern that it's always-online?

Yea, I remember The Crew, why wouldn't I, it was less than a year ago when they released the first info, not that strange to me that a game, that is on new hardware is delayed, come back in 2016 and say the same thing, maybe then I've forgot the game.

@arcn: Well this game will bomb pretty hard anyway. I haven't seen one person hyped about it.

@atomicedge: Wrong way round, the track is Le Perv by Carpenter Brut. Possibly why you can't find anything else by them.

Are the members of this crew apart of some sort of drive club?

Crossing my fingers that Reflections can polish Eden's (now Ivory Tower) turd.

TDU was decent for a launch title, but TDU2 was pretty assy from top to bottom.

Having Reflections assist on stuff like Watch_Dogs and The Crew instead of making another Driver is a bummer.

People really love hating on games before they play them, don't they.
I for one am looking forward to at least checking this out. The new consoles need more racing games.

I thought the headline was "Hey remember The Crow" and was baffled as to why someone would be making a new crow video game.

I like the idea of it, but the driving looked really shitty from all the video I've seen. I can't describe it, but it seems... off. I hope it's good. It could be super interesting.

Wait, did they say there would be microtransactions? I assumed "Crew Credits" were just the regular in-game money.

Was it in question that it was coming out? It was just introduced last year at E3 wasn't it? Can never tell when Alex is being serious...

Buying performance in an always online game in particular seems sketchy to me. Why can't peoples' wallets agree with their online whining?
