A new trailer has Just gone live a few mins ago for your eyeballs to enjoy. Let's see what new info if any we can gleam from its contents and legal text. :cheeky:

Well I launched The Crew for one last time yesterday to confirm that the beta had indeed finished, and it did. Exited the game and this popped up... :hmmm: :mhmm: :phil2::phil3:

The 30fps vs 60fps debate always rages hard when it comes to racing games and no more so than when on the PC. And with The Crew Beta being at 30fps and words being banded about that it is going to be locked at this it's no surprise that people have been venting their upset and disappointment with this via twitter, comments on site articles and of course via the official Beta forums. So it may be of a little comfort to see that a post by an Ubisoft representative has stated that they are "aiming at a 60 FPS on PC for the launch of the game". We will need to wait and see if they make this target or at least make it optional for the PC Master Race to unlock themselves without causing too many issues with the game and it's in-game scenes.

I had to bring this up for I think this may be a good discussion. A "real world question" is also to be faced at the beginning of "The Crew". As Closed Beta-players already know, we are given the choice between four cars: - Chevrolet Camaro SS 2010 - 2012 Dodge Challenger SRT-8 - Ford Mustang GT 2011 - 2013 Nissan 370Z (Z34) So, which car do you choose - and why? Or do you just buy one of them to search the wrecks in it to do all the races in your classy Hot Rod? Vote above, discuss below please! Thank you for your participation. Regards X8X8X aka JagEngland

[headline]The Crew Closed PC Beta 2 - Beta Key Giveaway[/headline] It's back! We've got some more Beta Keys to give away thanks to those kind muppets at Ivory Tower and Ubisoft and as always we want to make you suffer for them. Yep we know we're so good to you in that regard but hey it's what we do and you love hate us for it. So anyway; simple method this time, we ask some questions and first to answer wins the key which will be PM'd to them. Alright we start after I've had some foodage. :cte:

Supposedly there are more videos to come

So The Crew was added to Steam today and I was surprised to see the option of a "Gold" edition of the game, which includes the limited edition, as well as a season pass. There aren't any details on what the pass will provide access to but it's got me interested, not many racing games have season passes, so it almost makes me wonder if Ivory Tower will be releasing more than just new car packs. Didn't realize til today too that they've said they plan to release free regular content. I'd kind of hope they add stuff like cars as paid DLC, and add new events and maybe even locations as free updates, but either way I'm interested to see what they do. I'd have pre-ordered it already if I could make up my mind about whether to get the PC or PS4 version of the game.

This really eases my pain as I'm going to miss the second PC beta (I just hope I can get in this one...). Anyone else with the new consoles going to sign up? I'll be playing on Xbox One for sure, will be interesting to see how it compares to the PC version :) Sign up now: The Crew Beta - Register here! Official Website Source: Facebook

[headline]The Crew PC Beta Part 2[/headline] It looks like the screaming, crying and general puppy-dog eyes has worked as UbisoftCanada's twitter has just announced that another The Crew PC Beta will begin from August 25th. So now you can cover that 87% of the map you missed out on the first run. :cool:

In the brief beta test I didn't get around to a lot of detailed customisation (it may have been somewhat locked), but if you stick to the default spec types that we had available... Full Stock... is discouraged in game for not being competitive (no NOS) Street... is encouraged for most races, has high grip, high top speed, not suitable for drifting unless you chuck the car into a tight corner, perform a scandinavian flick, or do donights from standstill. Dirt... allows better drifts, but has a lower top speed which is bad for highways, fast roads, keeping up with friends, etc. My Dirt spec Camaro was a lower performance level than my Street one however, unlocking more upgrades could make it faster. Now, it may just be that in the full game, with more time and career progression, you can make dirt spec cars faster, or you can completely customise by part, and essentially put 'dirt' tyres onto your street spec car, and voila, you can drift and enjoy the handling as we all hoped. What do you guys think? One of my videos - starting with Street spec, then switching to Dirt spec near the end

Just saw this posted on the official @TheCrewGame twitter that the NDA for the Closed PC Beta has been lifted and that more keys will be getting sent out too. :D So you are now free to share your impressions, post your pics and display your videos for all to see! HOWEVER don't forget to give feedback and detail issues and such to the devs via the official Beta forums!

With two days of "The Crew: Closed Beta" in the books I thought of something on the third day: Why not do a first "test-cruise" with the Closed Beta-players of turboduck? Let's meet at Detroit Train Station at 6.30 pm CEST tomorrow, Wednesday, July the 23rd. Please reply to this tread if you want to join. I'd love to see some of you join me! American Muscle most welcome. Regards and See you - hopefully - tomorrow! X8X8X aka JagEngland

If someone have extra key, please give it to me, i very need it :( Please! PM me

If you've got access to the beta (lucky you!) do feel free to discuss anything not subject to NDA here and not in older threads. Please also use {spoiler} tags where appropriate.

I was going to post this pic yesterday but the forum exploded Someone on the official forums made this As you take a look, and if you get to play next week, maybe have a think about good cruising routes. TDU1 was fairly easy given it was roughly a decent-size circle, with a couple of alternative routes here and there (i.e. Fergus or east coast, Kelekole or north-west west coast, motorway or south central-coast past police station). TDU1 also had a few iconic meetup and chill-out locations, such as the lighthouses, various dealers or V-Rent shops, and so on. If you spot any good potential spots in The Crew share them here. And of course share your favourite road locations and lookouts with an indication on the map. I'm thinking the bottom-right corner will be a popular chill-out (chat/toilet break) location similar to TDU1's NW lighthouse - just gives me that vibe. There's also a nice twisty road running along the top of the map on the left side toward Seattle that could form part of a good cruise circuit.

For a select few the Route909 codes have been sitting in their possession for a while now and now with the emails from the sign-up going out there will be many of you who are also ready good to go, so let's see you and share your thoughts and wants about what you hope the Beta will bring and show you. :D

This seemed to pop-up on the Ubisoft Uplay Shop very recently and has got a bit of a response from those waiting to hear about how their Beta sign-up is going due to the fact that this seems to "GUARANTEE" access to the PC Closed Beta. Nowadays it's not uncommon for publishers to do this as obviously those who want to play the game are more than likely going to pre-order anyway and so giving a reward in this manner is understandable. What is ruffling feathers is perhaps how close we are to the Beta itself and this seemingly being announced out of the blue so to speak. What do you think: Underhanded, despicable or somewhat expected?

[headline]The Crew - 10 Beta Keys Giveaway![/headline] As you know we won a beta key during the Route909 Live stream and we said we were going to give it away and so that's what we are going to do.
