The Crew opens console beta

Link

I hope i get in, been looking forward to this game. Looks good imho

Beta signups are now open for upcoming racer The Crew, publisher Ubisoft announced today.

Punch the nitrous and plow across open fields in [the] upcoming console beta.

The beta will get into gear later this month on both Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

The Crew is set for release November 11 on PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360

@The_Last_Ride: I had high hopes for this game, but it lacks polish compared to racing games coming out months ahead of it smh. People have complained about the grind it takes to purchase new cars. At this point, I just want to view the national landmarks and thats about it.

I played it on PC, the car handling is terribad.

It's fine with a wheel. Not the best handling in racing games, but I didn't run into any problems once with them. The FFB surprised me positively actually

i have to see what it's all about before i make any judgment

Was in the closed PC beta, it's a fun game and fairly reminiscent of TDU though i lost interest when i hit the cap and wasn't arsed grinding pennies to get better cars.

Was it just me, or did it look pretty bad aswell? I had everything maxed out.

There were some ugly parts for sure, but I think the game could look quite nice at times too. It's a bit inconsistent, but that's understandable considering the vast size of the map.

What mostly bothered me about the graphics was the lack of transparency AA, even with TXAAx4 there were a lot of jaggies. Forcing Sparse Grid Supersampling helped with it, but the performance impact was too much for my taste. I hope they natively support better AA in the release version.

I've read an interview about this game and they mentioned that their current build already looks better than the beta and it will be improved by then.

Interestingly they also said the cockpit view mirrors are non functional at this moment because of the current gen consoles, and their trouble to hit 30 fps.

This reminiscence is no surprise seeing as the devs, Ivory Tower consist of former TDU devs. The game feels like a true sucessor to TDU to me and i'll definitely buy it.

@Ben-Buja Completely agree.

Aside from me being fussy with the graphics, the concept they have going is what's keeping me interested. It reminds me a lot of TDU, which I loved.

Runs at a smooth 30 fps on PS4. Guess how many on PC?

It's gotten a lot of praise on Steam from arcade racer fans. I'm surprised because Ubisoft is hated among PC gamers right now.

This game looked like a definitive POS from the first announcement trailer. 6/10 on GS callin it

I hope you enjoy this game while you wait for those RDR and Destiny ports.

It's quite fun actually, maybe just not your cup of tea.

Calling a 7-9 on GS

While the publisher is Ubisoft, the devs are Ivory Tower and have nothing to do with the Watch Dogs team (Ubisoft Montreal)

Is this while you wait for Ethan Carter, EQNext, TESO, Planetside2 + waited for D3 and MineCraft?

BTW whose gonna have dat' best version of all these games?

Nobody is waiting for that ahahaha. We had to wait for Diablo 3 to hit console for the game to get an actual combat system because we have higher standards, you're right about that. Minecraft has been on console for a while now, great game to let the kids play after we're done playing our GOTY/GOTG titles.

No Man's Sky went from being PC exclusive to delayed port from PS4 in an instant. The devs know where the money is at. Cry more.

Nah, you're waiting for all that stuff and continued waiting.

There's a reason PC has more aaa/aa games every year than playstation. Maybe if you combine enough consoles you might stand a chance. Dat' sudden faction change into a cowsheeplemming hybrid when PC is brought up.

And lol 30 fps on low.

Haha you aren't even debating my points, you're shooting blanks my man. GG you lose. Repost to drive the point home:

Funny how you can claim the benefits of a top end PC running every game 4k 120fps at the same time you criticize me. I actually own all the consoles, you have to wait for mommy to get you a new GPU so you can enable AA.
