The Crew

So next month the Crew is finally coming out.

An MMO racing game where you can make teams with up to 4 people, you can race together, help each other out on missions and skill challenges.
The cars also have at least 5 different types for tuning, though not every car has all types:
Full Stock - the way your car is right when you buy it.
Street - Your car is tuned for street racing, only slight aesthetic modifications.
Performance - Combination between handling and grip. Something like the old NFS Carbon style.
Circuit - Illegal on the streets, specially made for track racing.
Dirt - for heavy drifting, more agressive driving and, ofcourse, dirt racing.
Raid - with Raid you turn your car into the biggest baddest meanest machine in the game, not the fastest however.

The game's map is larger, and has more variety than GTA V's map, featuring 12 major cities of the USA: Chicago, Los Angeles, New York, Detroit, Miami, and many more. I'd personally be slightly disturbed if they forgot Las Vegas... :x
Between the cities you can drive throuh all states, though they haven't modeled all of the cities in between the major cities or anything.
But there's even a snow landscape!

There's also a lot of places to go sightseeing, though they're not modeled exactly as they are in the real world. The Statue of Liberty, for example, is modeled closer to the city.
Others are the Washington Monument, Mount Rushmore, and many others!

GTA style notoriety, if you ram a police car, or get spotted driving a street illegal car (I assume this one though), they'll start chasing you. And it can get pretty heavy I guess, as even Corvette police cars can chase you.

You'll even be able to create a fully custom hot rod if you find all parts to make it.

Upgrades are both for the body and mechanical available:
  • Kits;
  • Colors;
  • ECU;
  • Engine;
  • Fuel Injection;
  • Exhaust system;
  • Supercharger/Turbo;
  • Chassis;
  • Differential;
  • Tires;
  • Shocks & Springs;
  • Brakes;
There's one more, but not sure which.

The cars featured are from street tuners to classic cars to outright hypercars. Even the H1 is included!

I'll just leave these here...



Rest in Peace, Need for Speed?
Let's discuss.
 
If only this was available on Steam in the UK :(

They've got some kind of stupid exclusive deal with retailers... so I can buy it through uPlay, or from a real store (of course, none of which near me actually have it).

I have the same with TERA... if only that was available on Steam in countries other than just the UK, Germany and France... :(

I've been playing tourist in The Crew, sort of... so I'll see if I can post some screenies. It's just breathtaking on ultra settings. The only downside sofar is the driving model for RWD cars, but once I have my Bentley Continental GT I don't have such worries anymore.

All in all this game definitely beats GTA V and its online counterpart to me. By far.
