For those of you that haven't already, it's worth checking out the official 'The Crew' community Here.
A few threads have popped up already, most important is the Q&A thread with the devs Here
A few important bits worth highlighted from the Q&A:
Sounds great to me, very TDUy but the bigger storyline and different objectives interest me a lot and will hopefully lead to more playable hours without it getting boring than TDU2.
Highlights how important the map will be for the game, and just how proud they are of what they've achieved. Definitely looking forward to exploring the map for myself. Hopefully there will be a few easter eggs around the island (a la Secret island from TDU1 and barn finds form TDU2)
Of course this isn't to be taken too seriously until we here more, but still it's helping me feel more confident I'll enjoy the driving within the games.
Great to hear, highlights exactly what being a next-gen platform game brings to the table.
Check out the thread itself for some more information, I've just picked a few bits :) Well worth a read.
