The Crew 2 Official Game Discussion Thread

[RodSk8Dude]

It dont need constant connection since release, what a you talking about?

In comparison with the previous one.

 

[Nick Skyline]

So yesterday, a mini-series of what's going on with this game started: Behind the Wheel, hosted by The Crew 2's Community Developer James Rees.

I figured to share it here since it might interest some of us, myself included. This episode's just a look into what Ivory Tower's been doing, how much effort they'be been putting into this game over such a brief period of time (if you call 3-4 months brief), and their plans for the next few months. (I'm particularly looking forward to the open Beta.)

I have also been following this game. I enjoyed the Crew1 (It took quite a while and a few attempts to get in to it ) alongside Drive Club but it was fun and lots to do. The map is huge and I still have areas not driven in to.

I will more than likely pick this up and hopefully enjoy the beta of this. (Also OnRush and their beta is due about the same time) ..It is good to see all these racing games keep arriving


It is hard to tell from the videos but I wonder if the PS4 Pro/Xbox X graphics will be a big jump or just an improvement over the original as the map is so huge and the excellent photo mode will be there again. I am starting to really like Ubisoft games they seem to be making some wonderful games/graphics lately.

Bonus 3, and by extension the last car of the reward program, has finally been revealed

Spoiler: It's actually kind of underwhelming

The white car in the background of the first picture looks like a SA22C RX-7, nice.

 

[inCloud]

The white car

Its the same Drift spec RX-7 as in tC1

Actually, there was only one new Df car - 370z Nismo, which you can see at photo in my previous post.

Is it?

The side profile's pretty similar to the background white car, and the a-pillar isn't as white as it would be on an FD, granted that one might be because of the aliasing/blurring on the picture.
EDIT: The rear of the background car does make me doubt though, seems a bit longer than on the SA22C

I think it's the same one as TC1 but because it's further away it's a lower LOD model which is hiding some of the detail to make it easier to identify. Like you said, the rear end doesn't match the SA22C, which is a shame as it'd be cool to have both in the game. You never know though .

 

[inCloud]

You never know though

You shouldnt expect something not-so-much-known from old cars division, while they keep adding some interesting and unique modern cars to the game. Its not Forza where almost all cult and popular sport cars already in the game.

Bleh. Thanks for the heads up to curb my expectations.

One car I hope they didn't blow the opportunity to get is an old 911 Turbo with the Porsche license. Any BMW older than the E60 5-series would also be a plus.

I mean...

The one they've picked is not the oldest
[bit of a spoiler but hiding a sentence instead of a picture is a cop out, and IGCD is notoriously bad for third-party images]

old 911 Turbo

season pass content

 

[wolfsburgraz]

Have they done away with the floating squiggly GPS line in the sky?

 

[GTvsForza]

You could just turn it off like in TC1. That's what I did.

 

[Elitekilla29]

I wanna go ahead and preorder the game but we don't know anything yet still and the game releases a month and a half from now. They keep letting us know what specs and vehicles are gonna be in and I know that's the main point of the game of course but what about details for online, damage, the story node, customization, the AI, the little things, and what's been fixed? When you go on their website it's nothing about that stuff. I would've thought by now that we'll have info about that stuff. I'm hearing a lot of rumors about stuff like, a full blown livery editor, being able to purchase houses/garages and other things and I just wanna find out out if this stuff is true. I'm still looking forward to the game but real curious.

 

[inCloud]

anything yet still

CBT in May, after it will be more info. If you not sure about buying, wait till beta(i am sure there will be OBT in June).

specs and vehicles are gonna be in

You can search last revision of my carlist here, there wouldnt be any major changes.

details for online

PvP modes isnt revealed, PvE you can see in videos from E3

damage

same

story node

Forza Horizon 1 style with NFSMW'12 psychedelic vibes.

customization

same, but some specs merged into one and this have some effects on it + thing that not revealed yet, but you know what i am talking about

the AI

rubberbanding, tied to you vehicle level

being able to purchase

Its speculations, nothing actually revealed yet. But I already post video with walking through garage, so we know that its actually a thing. Also, we know that character customization is a thing since preorder revealed.

There are two big things that you dont mention - expanded weather and performance details for vehicle. First thing was already shown in IGN video where you can clearly see dynamic snow weather in LA. About second i can talk, but its evolution of system in first game and this time they do it right.

I don't even think they been sent out yet.

Not in beta

still alpha build, they test some neat new feature right now. Thing that you may expect from sim, cause openworld Anyway, its looks super cool in something mad like tC2

 

[inCloud]

BTW, there is some clues about Season pass. Looks like it will be more like one in R6S and For Honor than an The Crew/Division/FarCry SP(while one release day thing stay the same). All other monetization stuff looks almost the same as in tC1.
