the crew The Crew Gameplay Videos & Preview from Gamersyde - [Grand Canyon, Pikes Peak and cold added!]

Eudemon · April 18, 2014

A good few The Crew gameplay videos can be seen in this Preview from the fans' favourite site, Gamersyde. Ivory Tower invited a member of them to come down and try out the game for a few hours and if you didn't know about the site then you should, as they are the place people go to see high-quality uncompressed, direct feed, direct audio and in 60fps videos in all manners of resolutions which can either be streamed for those quick viewer or downloaded for the full-on experience.

They were also big fans of the original Test Drive Unlimited so their impressions should speak to a number of us here too. :cool:

dat detail though

I think this adds a whole new dimension to modding. We could be seeing amazing things in the future.

hassan1995 · April 18, 2014

I need this game NOW !!!

Dare I say this could be the game, the proper successor to tdu :mhmm:

Andreas¹ · April 18, 2014

The more I see of these videos, the more I want this game. The physics look fantastic, as do the graphics, can't wait to get my hands on this. Also showed that there is still work to be done, the digital dash in the Aventador didn't work, but meh. They have a few months to polish these things out. :D Also, do we know anything about these wrecks? I loved that aspect of TDU2. :hmmm:

Eudemon · April 18, 2014

Those wrecks are 5 bonus vehicles you have to collect the parts for in order to recreate them.

What did people think of the sounds? The turbo sound was a bit of a surprise to me!

Luchingador · April 18, 2014

the mini sounded pretty cool indeed, would someone mind to do a proper translation? pls xD

Ozzmcom · April 18, 2014

sounds were nice I thought. Though I noticed the raid ruf is still using tdu's ruf sound.

berindea · April 18, 2014

These latest articles and videos have given me some hope towards the game.I honestly hope they aren't showing MORE because they decided to, not because they can't.Oh well, I suppose we'll see when it comes out, would be nice to cruise around.Sounds are not perfect, but they are nowhere as near as dissapointing as TDU2's were.

The Compensator · April 18, 2014

Oh, this made me to even pre-order it. :eek:

Vehicle sounds won't be (hopefully) much of a problem finally, the Focus RS sounded pretty accurate... Physics look to be nice, too; I spy a bit of Driver SF and TDU mixed up together, which is totally fine! Also, I kind of didn't expect too see different interior trims to choose from like it was in TDU/2! :btup

I hope not to be disappointed. :evil:

hassan1995 · April 18, 2014

I don't think we will be disappointed, it looks pretty good atm and hopefully they will add more cars throughout because from what it looks they're really detailed and pretty awesome so I would imagine they would take ages to make and what not.

T1M · April 18, 2014

Still can hardly believe the map. Looks like the most perfect map ever for a racing game. Last game that got me this excited from the map was TDU :hmmm:

Looks so great. Love the first video with the customisation and such. :panic:

Bozickovic · April 18, 2014

I hope this is the gameplay on consoles...

It looks like poop atm. AA needs to be 8x at least so it can look "neat"

I want to see the full potential of graphics on PC.

RobikV3 · April 18, 2014

I really really like what im seeing from this game awesome cars with proper sounds even better customisation everything placed in big open map with beautiful graphics. Looking forward to it and hope my crappy PC will be enough

ScoobSTi · April 18, 2014

Looks great! Can't wait to drive through their version of NYC. :)

The only thing that bugs me is the upshift sounds. Is the driver not rev matching correctly or is it the game? :hmmm:

Bozickovic · April 18, 2014

I think it's the game mate... it's very annoying tbh.

The landscapes are very nice but it's not "next gen" and the digital gauges are not working... (fear from TDU2)

Paladin Skylark · April 18, 2014

"next gen" isn't going to be possible, when they've been working on it for 6 years.

That means they've been working on it for nearly as long as the 360 and PS3 were out, so it's definitely not going to be the whole "next gen" type of graphics. We won't be seeing true next gen graphics until Destiny, etc. start coming out - games that have been developed SOLELY for next gen consoles.

Eudemon · April 18, 2014

Open world games will always be a bit behind visually, then again check out inFAMOUS Second Son, game looks the nuts! Open-world racers though are again a different matter with the speed you blitz through the game world so some concessions are of course going to be made. As long as it plays well I couldn't care less about how it looks but I know graphics is one of the key areas that make people cream themselves. Especially those on PC. :lol:

Ryzza5 · April 19, 2014

Does anyone else think the roads/lanes are a little on the wide side?

Also in the interview video if you look at the BMW Z4 on the left screen it appears that when you sit idly for a while, the game switches to a showcase camera.

The Compensator · April 19, 2014

The only thing that bugs me is the upshift sounds. Is the driver not rev matching correctly or is it the game? :hmmm:

Game. :(

Ryzza5 · April 19, 2014

'Gear wobble' sounds are more common in raw racing cars. Hopefully those sounds are only present with certain upgrades applied.

DanMcRea · April 19, 2014

Those videos alongside with those great previews got me even more convinced about the game. So far I was worried about driving physics but those small moments with HC and sport mode look pretty good. It's only a shame that they were using a Mini instead of some kind of RWD like Hm... Z4 or something else :).
