I'm not really sold on this game based on what I've seen so far. I don't see a lot of progression, if any at all which is a bit of a shame because I like the idea of working my way up from my "starter" car. Having all these pre-made playlists doesn't really sit right with me - I want to do the events in an order that I choose and use cars that I actually own. If you're just going to race cars that you don't even own, what's the point of owning ANYTHING at all? I don't mind if it's a seasonal event with limited-time rewards but using that to dictate a "career" mode is stupid. At least you can choose what you want to do in Forza Horizon for the most part. Yes, there are special missions where you have a preset car but they're kind of fun and don't ruin the core experience. The structure adopted for Motorfest seems to lack an objective, making all the experiences seem null and void. Maybe I'm missing the point but I don't want to be tossed into cars that I don't deserve to drive.

The playlist is pretty much Horizon Stories, it comes with its own mini stories with cars pre selected for you to experience with its story.
Your own cars will be used in everything outside of the playlist, like the summit events, grand race and custom mode. It is somewhat similar to Horizon in terms of its structure, it just force you to run through the race routes in a playlist story before letting you take anything you want into it.

Tomorrow with the free trial I will test that.
It's quite simple, the game started development before TC2 will start to have some QoL changes and among them is the fast swap, I suppose that being something quite in demand they will put it in TCM sooner or later.

Interesting, didn't now anything about it. The Hub site is working: https://www.thecrew-hub.com
I would also like to see some app or hopefully the hub will be able to track TCM as well. Currently it is only for TC2.

Hi can anyone confirm if this game can be played with the Fanatec GT DD PRO on PS5? Im reading mixed findings. Cheers. Some people saying only on PC it works.

TC2 had a huge map that was fun to cruise in and go between vastly different regions, but it had large areas that were surely procedurally generated and bare.
This map is much smaller but still on the scale of like a Forza horizon. It’s also more dense and detailed than TC2. Maybe they can bring the US map back in an expansion or something. TC2 is still pretty useful with it importing cars in and how they’re still updating it.

The stories in Forza are more like side quests though. They do not form the core gameplay experience, which is racing what you want where you want. Now, based on what I've seen, the playlists make up the core experience for Motorfest and I don't like that.
Woah now hang on a minute. That's a big call.

Yes it does and IMO works great. There saying that because it says only DD is only supported in ps5 . There the same base besides the Ps5 chip in the GT base from researching. Ig might get shot for saying this but I dare say as good as GT7 feels. Love how good the wheel works. I got mine for Gt7 and other simcade games not Motorfest but Very happy. Here's a starting point. I'm happy with the default in game settings but these in game settings improved it as well as The Crew 2 GT DD Pro settings I'm using helped. I believe you can do a free trial of the game tomorrow.
Is the Gran Turismo DD the same as the CSL DD?
Don't let the name fool you, though — the Pro is mechanically no different to the “regular” CSL DD, even though it's packaged in a slightly different shell. However, the Pro — a Gran Turismo-licensed product — can only be bought in tandem with a GT-branded rim and Fanatec's standard CSL pedals.

Well,
Are more of Crew 1 things. IMO, pre WR those were even better.
In Motorfest its same idea(storydriven racing events), but turned up to twelve. They are more distinctive from each other and better designed. And if you don't like them - shut voices and skip cut scenes, experience would be basically the same as in general Horizon game.
Like there aren't any other strong competitors. Motorfest map is big, has enough different bioms, well designed, dense. Horizon 5 map has horrible design. Unbound is well designed, but underdeveloped. Previous NFS and Horizon games has its own flaws(too small, too closed to be open world, doesn't have enough variety).

Did the devs talk about the new playlist adding frequency? My guess would be 1 per month but I could be wrong.

Looks like I misunderstood them, its one playlist per season(3 months). Next will be Hoonigan themed. IMo, we could expect race creator next season.
