Ubisoft's "The Crew" next-gen defining new open world game: Estimated 1.5+ hours to drive from Miami - Polidicks

[QUOTE=JeanLuc761;41015940]It's difficult enough to do in real life; driving cross-country is a grueling experience once you run out of interesting things to look at.[/QUOTE] Seattle to Southern California is amazing

I never thought I would leave E3 with a racing game as my most anticipated title.

Between this and The Division, I really think Ubisoft nailed it. I'm not so big on this online stuff, but I can see more purpose coming out of it gameplay wise now than before. God damn though, this seems awesome from it's breakdown of the cars and varied types of driving to just being able to drive the better part of the US in a super car

I hope the sheer size of the map means they haven't skipped detail. I loved how big FUEL's map.

I don't get it, It's a racing mmo, so on this huge map, everyone can be connected at once and see each other, or do you first have to make a "Party" of people and only then you will be able to see people? other than that, the game looks amazing :D

Bigger maps are making me more and more excited for Just Cause 3

I hope we don't actually have to drive to each and every city and that there's some sort of fast travel system. As awesome as it is I'd like to get into the races and stuff.

Ubisoft has been doing a fantastic job lately with all the new IP's they're creating, I've pretty much forgotten about the always-on DRM shit they pulled years back thanks to their creativity and innovation they've been making

[QUOTE=EcksDee;41016291]I would periodically play 99 lap races with my dad in this old nascar game I had. [editline]13th June 2013[/editline] Smaller "The size of the game's environment is the first asset that smacks players in the gob; apparently around 5,000sq km in size, The Crew's map features full open-world cities" FUEL was bigger at 5560 square [B]miles[/B].[/QUOTE] That's still more than 20 times the size of Chernarus, and driving across it in Arma 2 took quite a long time. (Though the vehicles were slow and the roads were winding.)

[QUOTE=God of Ashes;41015902]that pretty impressive i guess. though not really real. takes 30 hours to drive nonstop from chicago to LA[/QUOTE] It's a larger version of the USA than European Truck Sim 2 is of Europe. Imagine driving from North UK to Italy in that game. 20, 25 minutes, at 55km/h. And this is pretty impressive in scale 1.5ish HOURS doing 150mph+ the entire time to cross the USA? That's fucking HUGE [editline]13th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=gbtygfvyg;41017503]I hope we don't actually have to drive to each and every city and that there's some sort of fast travel system. As awesome as it is I'd like to get into the races and stuff.[/QUOTE] If the game has a sort of hard core handling mode, where it feels closer to Gran Turismo or Forza, or even GTA4's handling physics weren't bad, and I can get a wheel and pedals, I'll more than be happy to just cruise around and do nothing else in exotic cars. It's all I did in TDU. The only problem with TDU is the driving characteristics were kind of... meh, even with HC mode

Oh wow. Is this coming to PC or is it exclusive?

It's like UbiSoft looked at the genre and said "well if we can't innovate we sure as hell can make THE ultimate driving game" I mean you can - customize your cars down to individual hardware parts (in addition to optics) - different car types are in fact required for different terrains and mission objectives - tons of challenges across a massive, massive open world - you can compete against your friend while playing two very different challenges - able to play singleplayer/offline - able to partake in an MMO world - 4 player-co-op and -versus I mean dayum, what else could they add? Spintires' mud mechanics and hovercars? [QUOTE=MoarFunz;41017819]Oh wow. Is this coming to PC or is it exclusive?[/QUOTE] consoles only if I recall correctly.

Spintires went a little overkill with the mud, it's more like quicksand. :v: This looks pretty awesome though, might actually have to get one of the new consoles. To Forza or to not Forza...

[QUOTE=Marik Bentusi;41017890] consoles only if I recall correctly.[/QUOTE] Nope it's coming to PC, Microsoft is just making it so they only put Xbone in the trailers to make it seem like it's an exclusive because they are dicks. [url]http://www.joystiq.com/2013/06/10/the-crew-announced-e3/[/url]

[QUOTE=God of Ashes;41015902]that pretty impressive i guess. though not really real. takes 30 hours to drive nonstop from chicago to LA[/QUOTE] It's an open world racing game, not USA Truck Simulator

[QUOTE=God of Ashes;41015902]that pretty impressive i guess. though not really real. takes 30 hours to drive nonstop from chicago to LA[/QUOTE] Never really thought that the scale of the US was that big. I'd love to go on a road trip in the US. Road trips here are like 6-10 hours and you're done.

[QUOTE=booster;41018473]Never really thought that the scale of the US was that big. I'd love to go on a road trip in the US. Road trips here are like 6-10 hours and you're done.[/QUOTE] well if long road trips are what you fancy, there is a very large and spacious country right next to finland

My lord, I want this game. Hoping for cross-compatibility.

According to jeuxvideo.com(a french website about video games), the map measure approx. 9600 km². (3707mi²)

Holy FUCKING SHIT this is the game I have been WAITING FOR.

[QUOTE=Mr. Tripp;41018700]Holy FUCKING SHIT this is the game I have been WAITING FOR.[/QUOTE] It's weird how all the open-world games we ever wanted are actually becoming reality.

[QUOTE=Chrille;41018495]well if long road trips are what you fancy, there is a very large and spacious country right next to finland[/QUOTE] We do not enter the country of enemies!!! + Russia is basically like a colder more boring version of Finland anyway.

If only it had the customization of say APB/Trackmania

[QUOTE=Lukeo;41018822]If only it had the customization of say APB/Trackmania[/QUOTE] APB on console. Man i would pay buckets for that, however i was playing before the terrible "reboot" so i am not sure how it is now..

While this is impressive I rather have small, but detailed worlds.

[QUOTE=Desuh;41018883]While this is impressive I rather have small, but detailed worlds.[/QUOTE] I don't know but the cities and countryside they drove looked pretty detailed.

OH man, it's games like that that make me happy to have bought a triple monitor setup. I just need to get a wheel and some pedals.
