I had no problem so far with handling as I liked it, even if not perfect. I also already felt the big difference between a 370Z street lvl 11 VS lvl 200+, it's easier to drive by far.. but that was the only car I really noticed it. But I imagine that at max lvl 1299, that should change so much the feeling of all cars.. TBH, I was very afraid before trying the PC beta they would have done a NFS like handling... and I'm happy to see you have to tame some cars like the jump in the RUF Raid...if you accelerate at the bad timing, you lose the control... same thing with other cars in turns and even with nitro, you have to be careful, at least a bit (it's not a simulation neither)... no gigantic 300kph drifting without losing speed, or turning without braking...:clap: The only things that annoyed me, were for the slow or realistic cruises: the little arcadish things like the car braking itself at low speed, even in descent,... (with the big camera movement at low speed... both make drive in traffic unpleasant) Also, the automatic race car style "roar" when you shift the (very slow) gears,... It is a bit weird when you cruise slowly and change manually gears at low-normal RPM and you hear a rumble... even Ferrari's IRL have a normal drive mode, so you don't sound like an *** when you drive in city :lol: In any other game this wouldn't matter as you are constantly pedal to the metal racing, but this is The Crew we're talking about... slow cruise is also part :) So I really hope a "no assisstance at all mode", or "hardcore +" that would be sweeeeeeeeet, for the challenge lovers :happyroll:

I get how you could be mistaken, I do agree they have some similarities with that kind of low res glance :)

Yep, Jeep Grand Cherokee 2011-13 (at least not the last 2014-15 model), and as the exhausts screams it, certainly not fullstock indeed :lol:

:lol:

Yes in part it's about that: DLC/collector that makes you rush the start and ruins it... like giving a super sword in a RPG at a level 1 player and too much cash etc... But as I'm a little bit extremist, I add also that I'd prefer that also those DLC had more challenge and not just unlock the car and go, even in later progression in the game... I don't mean they should be as hard to buy as will probably be the laFerrari, but you know, I'd mind to have to make a couple of races to unlock a DLC car, or to have enough money to buy them... a happy medium then... It's just a matter of "not to receive everything at the same time without effort"... nothing in life is that good if you always get what you want fast...

Yeah Eagle was also obvious for me, but I had a lil doubt with bears... but I'm more taking after a Teddy Bear than a ferocious Grizzli lol

Thanks for clearing this up as this can sometimes be confusing. :) Besides, I'm surprised by the last answer: I know that lot of people will be pleased with the fact that DLC cars are directly unlocked so they can play directly, but I don't... (nagger mode ON :happyroll: ) For me, unlocking cars is part of the fun and giving it free is a bit like crippling the game... The rush that comes that push you to work your way to get the new content gives a real pleasure when you unlock it. In addition, you'll get bored quicker when you are directly granted access to everything at the same time and without any effort...this is like a cheat code... not everybody like to use them There aren't many cars in game... so if lots of them aren't worth a challenge to get them, that's less game... (3 preorders+viper+DLC cars...)... I know lot of players complaint having to buy with ingame cash a car/DLC they bought with IRL money, and I respect this point, but i wish devs just gave the choice to the players :cry: A simple way is to do like I saw with the "accelerator pack" in Forza Horizon collector box. It was on a separate code... I never used it... so DLC could go with 2 codes :1 for the content and another to unlock it and everybody is happy... :nuts: EDIT: just to put some water in my wine: there are still the kits to buy (i suppose), and so many thing to do after having unlocking the car... I know, but well my point stand not only for The Crew, but for the fact that many bonuses/dlc/preorder stuff tend to ruin gaming experience by giving to much powerful stuff/free access to "compensate" with the money invested by DLC buyers...

And Viper 2013 -> speed pack / Alfa 4c -> Extreme? yeah me too very surprised about the SL EDIT: beside we can see a mustang 2015 at the very start... don't tell me it's DLC, right?

Thanks for the info :)

Hi here are 2 Lives from Gamersyde 1 in English The Crew - Live EN - Stream haute qualité - Gamersyde and another in French The Crew - Live FR - Stream haute qualité - Gamersyde Both are with the journalist + 2 devs from Ivory Tower rem: 1 sentence from Fergus in the French Version about the rain : "This will be a big feature that you will have, but not now, the game is ready we have to release it"

In my country too it's still on the 2nd of december on my ubi account/ubishop (also checked on steam)... That's really weird :confused: Edit: Besides if they do that, they'll have to schedule another DLC /post release calendar whereas they just issued it a few days ago

TDU Students developpers at work :hd:

Ok, no problem, I just didn't dare to create one, without knowing if the article deserved it :) I was surprised too, I thought TDU forest where proceduraly programmed lol ... no no... the old way... a man in a shed, a bunch of trees, a "place" function and a "rotate" function lol, that was TDU's way :lol:

I add here an interesting new article about the way Ivory dealt with their challenges to develop the game. Enjoy :) Executive producer of The Crew talks about the tools of the trade | Develop

Well if you ask me, Ivory Tower rang another bell 1st time i heard it... the old British TV comedy "Fawlty Towers"... :) And agree for the name that sound wrong... that's sounds like they never listen to the community, locked down in their tower, whereas they are listening actually

Just to say the "collection" number is the total of cars+kits you own... so it's growing as you buy new cars/kits :) For example in this picture it says 202 cars (and obviously there will be less than 202 differents cars) :p BTW don't mind the Z4 and mini street...they are probably the preorder cars as the regular one are suppose to have more kits

My Bad I thought it was 20 :o Thanks anyway for edition :)

Yes I was surprised too. They have a very desinhibited way to talk about it, it's refreshing in this world of "risk control" communication

This one at 57 sec :) sry you'll have to fix the link again lol (thanks for the previous one btw) Well it seems they will indeed be in the Crew... just hoping its not just for xbox one as the picture show... probably not :)

TVR confirms its presence in The Crew :happyroll: TVR NOISE | TVR remains firm gaming favourite EDIT: it happens to be an old article, so sry if it was already mentioned elsewhere

Nice spotting. :) Can you give the link to which trailer it was taken from? I'd like to see more of it but can't find it :p EDIT: Nevermind, I finally found it just after posting lol

Don't worry, I'm leveling my post count slowly but steady :) It's because I'm more a reader than a writer. So these tips are just to give back a little to the Tduck community, as I often use its ressources, as those french videos wouldn't probably make their way until here otherwise (for once we have a french racing game lol).. Hope to see footages of thoses cars soon nevertheless to see what they look like ingame :p

Yes, with some luck, that would be very nice indeed :) (ps:thanks again for URL editing)

Thanks for URL editing ;) --- Post Updated --- Sorry I forgot also to mention the Cadillac Escalade :o sry for double post
