^THISSSSS. It started off as an "MMO racing experiment" that people mostly flocked too since NFS World Closed. Then they added planes and boats in Crew 2 Now Crew Motorfest is everything from before, but just optimized to a teeeeeee. The boats and planes feel so much better now, even in Crew 2, halfway thru they stopped becoming gimmicks. I'm excited to see where this game goes.

[@salti9983]

Almost everything in The Crew: Motorfest is a huge improvement from the last game! The handling, the progression system, the menu ui, the graphics, the color grading, and especially the sound design (even electric cars sound cool)! There's even little touches that you wouldn't notice until you took the time to notice, like your character leaning their arm on the window while cruising! Of course, I still have little gripes though, like the GTR still doesn't have any wheel customization, the tires on the cars still don't really look quite right, and I couldn't transfer over my hot character from The Crew 2. But, these are all things that can be overlooked due to the rest of the game being absolutely PREEM! This game is at least a 9/10!

[@BladedAngel]

BRO YES, THE SOUND DESIGN IS EARGASMIC! I'm shocked all the EV's actually sound different (Per company) but so many games just use "the same generic high pitch" for all EVs.

Ivory tower is probably Ubisofts one and only developer that I feel like really are the best they got. NONE of their games have the staying power that the Crew series has managed. Just keeps getting better and the fans keep loving it, meanwhile every single one of their other franchises have hit rock bottom except for The division, those games are legit aswell.

I feel you on the drifting my friends and me felt it was actually worse than Crew 2. To be fair...maybe we were used to our maxed out cars with Drift Spec Parts. So I'll get used to it again by this months end, then probs feel better about it. Every other physics though! Super good! Planes are smoother than ever, Boats aren't as OP Fast (where some escape routes in rivers were just meta with boats instead lmao) and Motorcycles finally have better top speeds...instead of that awkward 186-204MPH limiter most of them had in Crew 2.

[@gymusen]

Yep, The Crew: Motorfest and the soon to come Test Drive Unlimited: Solar Crown are going to give the studio behind Forza a run for their money, now, they have kinda got too comfortable during FH4 and now 5 (With a few update being actually extremely high quality and with great content), hope they start making interesting additions and such from now on.

[@BladedAngel]

Yeah, I think FH4+5 fell off from just trying to repeat the same formula. Test Drive FOR SURE will also shake the market too! This added competition will give players fantastic choices to shop from while also...hopefully waking up Playground Games and making them realize they don't have a monopoly on this market anymore. Adapt or die as they say!💀

[@SuicidalGrind]

Typing this before I watch the video: The Crew Motorfest to me fills the gap that the previous even just open world maps of 4 and 5 left me wishing for more. At first I was really excited to drive in Mexico and even for a little over a year of playing I was defending the map saying it wasn't that bad, which I still stand by. Then I bought The Crew 2, and well... Eventually this new game was announced and I see the correlations between Forza Horizon and all, but for me The Crew Motorfest is soooooooooo much more than what Horizon is to me in today's state of the game, the map is exciting to drive through on your own despite being relatively small, the graphics look really good but don't completely tank the Xbox One and the actual gameplay aka the playlists feels like what a new game in such a franchise should try to offer. The races are mostly "just races" or drive from point a to b, but the actual storytelling (at least for me) feels a lot more connected with the gameplay and the way they pick out cars and stuff for you to use in them was absolutely great and it actually makes getting a super fast Lamborghini as much as I'm not really a fan of those, rewarding. I will also say that I'm super biased towards this game simply allowing me to buy the Plymouth Roadrunner 1970 because it is my favorite and dream car, but oh well.

[@BladedAngel]

I'm also biased cuz Crew has Motorcycles and WW2 planes. Legit, will NEVER see that in Forza or NFS lmaoooooo. I'm so sick of boring car only open world games. Bout time someone realized how "Creative" racing can actually get.

[@fatjesus6912]

I like the fact that when you finish a playlist they give you some extra challenges to do and you can replay the playlist races in custom mode, which you can change the time of day/weather and use your own vehicles. That was my one big gripe with TC2 was the races felt the same after awhile since you couldn't change the time/weather and you could "cheese" them easily by just using your maxed out car right from the start.

[@SuicidalGrind]

@@BladedAngel If it's anyone I would expect to be biased because of bikes it would certainly be you haha. Your videos on motorcycles haven't quite sent me the full way to those bikes but I've actually started taking a strong liking to what we here call "30kmh Mopeds" that for some reason in Sweden you don't need a license to drive, probably because of that very slow speed, but there's a certain charm to them especially those old one's from the 50's that really drags me in.

[@janosd4nuke]

​@@BladedAngelTHIS! Absolute this! After a 10 year hiatus to racing games, (except reinstalling comfort foods here and there) NFS Unbound brought me back to racing phase big time. Picked up Horizon 4 afterwards (hoping the older would be less vapid than 5, plus McLaren & sheep is a vibe) but after 1 hour I was: "This? This series is people's choice of open world racer top dog? Excuse me, is this even a AAA racing game, or a free to play mobile gacha? At least the wheelspins are only breaking progression not people's wallet." If I recall I never rage quited before... but seeing how low the price tag of the McLaren F1 was compared to the speed of the economy I just Alt+F4-d outta there. Yes inquisitor, this game, HERESY right here, this insulted a pivotal piece of automotive history. Now you really have me on the fence with Motorfest. I fell in love with Horizon 3's reveal trailer, especially that Impreza vs Evo scene... but as a PC only latecomer unvilling to hunt old consoles, the actually good Forzas are unteachable for me. You sold me on Motorfest being the best modern thing for that experience. Only one problem: Ubisoft... not giving them any money for a while now. Feels very unfair with Ivory Tower, but here we are. Still if you would've told me that out of gaming's 3 great devils: Blizzard-EA-Ubisoft, EA will be the last one standing I'm willing to tango from time to time, I would have laughed, but here I am at the crossroads. A very promising game and a shitty publisher I'm tired of.

[@tktxlegend4540]

Im just hoping they give us DLCs with different regions as part of Motorfest's lifecycle. In the "Made in Japan" playlist, the Japanese street racing crew that runs the playlist mentions the player coming to Japan in the future multiple times. They also mention in the final race that they are not done teaching you about Japanese racing heritage. It makes me think (and hope) that Ivory Tower is planning to release map DLCs that take us to different parts of the world.

[@fredcharleskrueger5183]

I just hope they add the option for exclusive fullscreen and a higher fps cap available. I'm a PC gamer with a extremely high end pc and being capped at 1080p60 when I have an RTX 4090 is like having a 1,000hp engine in a go cart, tons of power but doesn't get utilized properly.

[@glenmcl]

Really? I was regretting buying this on Series X cause of frame rate issues, when I have an i9 13900K and 4090 (I like couch gaming sometimes) You saying I wouldn't get 4K 144fps??? That's really bad if it's capped at 1080 60

[@fredcharleskrueger5183]

@@glenmcl resolution is capped to what your native resolution is on your monitor, the only video options are windowed and borderless windowed. The FPS settings are 30/60

[@OnasaD]

Yea it might not have the same amount of vehicles as Forza or look photorealistic however it’s actually fun. The map isn’t a snooze fest and the handling is what you expect out of an arcade experience… Where Forza continues to downgrade since 3 The Crew seems to be a proper sequel with upgrades every new release

[@disgracetwt5513]

Forza is sim-arcade racing....if you expect full arcady driving it s kinda your fault

@@kevone08 nah... i played only the crew 2 and didn t like it... if there will be some "free weekend" or demo i might try it but i won t buy something that i might not enjoy because of personal prefferences

[@RandomGamingDouchebag]

I've always been fascinated with this series but my only real deterrent from wanting to play them is the always online requirement. It wouldn't bug me if I was playing an online multiplayer game, but if I'm playing single player, the thought of my Internet going out and the game not working gives me an aneurysm. As situational as that sounds, it's happened multiple times before and it will happen again. It's a shame because that's my major gripe with these games and any other "live service" games in general despite the fact it actually looks fun to play.

[@Erich8101]

I played Crew 1 it was fun but flawed. Didn't play Crew 2 but Was hooked right from the First Trailer and boy I have not been disapointed It is so much fun. I look forward to all the upcoming events and DLC'S. BTW if you have raced against Galahad2891 and I maybe rammed you , it was an accident I swear.

[@truthbetold06]

A1 review my guy. The game is dope af! But there’s one thing you didn’t mention that’s a negative….they lied about crossplay initially, or better yet they weren’t completely forthcoming about the fact that you can’t crew with your buddies on other platforms, you can play in lobbies with other players across all the platforms yet you can’t just crew up and drive around in the world. Unless me and my buddies are missing something they gotta fix this soon.

[@blerst7066]

I prefer The Crew Motorfest's graphics over Forza Horizon 5's. It may not be realistic, but it's so beautiful and fantastic. More game studios should start focusing on satisfying visuals than realism.

[@Audfile]

Crew 2, sold. Love me something less serious alongside my GT7.

[@GamingSkeptic]

Crew 2 was great like 7.5 or 8/10. My biggest problem was the handling. But Motorfest solved that problem. This game is 9.5/10 imo

[@TeRRm0s]

How did they improve it? What was the problem with Crew 2 handling? I haven't played either of these games

[@GamingSkeptic]

@@TeRRm0s The handling on TC2 wasn't good because it wasn't very precise. So the car wouldn't turn unless you turned the analog all the way. With Motorfest the wheel turns exactly how you turn the analog and the gas pedal moves exactly as you press R2. It's not perfect but it's a much needed improvement

[@siyzerix]

Reminds me of distance where your 1 car can fly, ride on walls, ''ride on water'', drive on tracks, have insane tracks, etc. Would love if you actually reviewed distance too. Especially the game's hidden level, ''the other side''. This is the most innovative racing game I've ever played. Some of its custom player tracks are utterly insane and can play out like movies, can have literal bossfights in a racing game, can have tracks found and not possible in any other racing game, etc. And most of all, distance is actually a skill based game, like trackmania is. Or mirror's edge. Its like doing car parkouring. And oh man the ''shortcuts'' are REALLY well done. You've got stuff like going backwards on a track which teleports to to another track entirely which then teleports you to a later section of the actual track, you've got shortcuts where its extremely hard to come out unscathed (your car can be cut in half and still work), due to flight you can outright skip portions of tracks or catch portals in very hidden locations, etc.

[@BlckPollen]

Ubisofts biggest W since watch dogs 2

[@BladedAngel]

*Ivory Tower's biggest W since Crew 2 I still have guarded "faith" around Ubisoft. I think because Ivory Tower releases games so slowly, Ubisoft doesn't milk them like a cow. I pray they NEVER become what Ass-Ass Creed has become for them...

[@ShayFeral]

I liked The Crew 2 and played alot of it. But I just couldn't get over the physics. But since they've improved them for Motorfest I might just snag a copy.

[@JediMaul]

The crew motorfest is really good to be honest. I think they need to add more cars like the older model civics, Volvos, trackhawk, ae86, more Bmw’s like m6 and e92, lancer evos, other stuff like that in mind. I give it a 8.5/10.

[@Rat-King]

with the garage transfer- if you don't choose to do it immediately you can open your options menu and there's an option to transfer it, so you can do it later if you choose to, it's not just a choice to start fresh or not

[@lvcifer00]

This game tries too hard to be Forza Horizon when it could’ve been it’s own thing, it’s a shame really.

[@KingKay816]

Man im absolutely in love with this game! They improved every problem in the last game and just made it seemless! Love The Crew franchises

Interesting how Ubisoft will pay to relicense cars in The Crew but not in Driver: SF...

[@maxi8113]

A cheap forza basically

[@Corvi-5]

But better and more fun

[@banshotenin1178]

I literally thought the Intro was FH3 as their races look identical (Especially with that same wide body Liberty Walk style GTR) and that cam angle was popularized by Forza. And this style of street track festival racing was popularized by NFS Prostreet.

[@Rohit.Gaikwad]

[@stuffenjoyer-v3s]

This game just got even better because of the new big November update!!!

[@avalanche450]

I skipped entirely on The Crew 2 after a few minutes of playing the demo because I didn't enjoy it, and I played the 5-hour trial for Motorfest. It's a pretty big leap in comparison to The Crew 1 in terms of visuals, car sounds, vehicles, and gameplay so it's nice to see Ivory Tower upping their game in those aspects. Especially if you're someone like me who's been playing only The Crew 1 for the past 9 years, as that game is going to turn 10 years old in 2024. The one issue I have with this game is that the gravity physics haven't changed that much when going airborne. Then again, this racing game was quite refreshing and a treat to play for 5 hours because one thing Motorfest does right is simply being *fun.* I'll be sure to pick it up on sale.

[@denxrstudio]

I played the Beta and TBH Im enjoying more than FH5 since Im a keyboard user on PC. But the only downside is yo cannot use your own car for playlist, all are loaned (and some require you to purchase the specific car). They improving a lot from The Crew into The Crew 2, and The Crew Motorfest feel much better.

[@abdllah3512]

i've been playing the crew 2 since launch and i aged with that game, like literally the only modern racing games i go back to is the crew2 (the rest are the crew1 - NFS MW & HP - FH 2 & 3 ), the idea that they have weekly competitive events which are actually rewarding was more than enough to keep me going for the game, now that they are back with motorfest and their hawaii map i am baffled that i'm actually enjoying yet another modern racing game, never regretted keeping up with the crew franchise cause i was never looking for realism, i just wanted to enjoy some arcadish racing games btw the moment i heard honkai impact battle ost your opinion turned to facts to me

[@ItsTheRANDOM]

BRO, I FEEL INSPIRED! I wasn't sure about this game, but after this, TAKE MY MONEY! Thx btw.

[@lohostege]

One thing i loved, especially from the Crew One was the customization, and audio. For whatever reason the Crew series sounds really good compared to other games. Although it seems like it removed some of the features i kind of enjoyed, they improved many others.

[@spacegoat0133]

I actually loved all the crew games so far. ofc 1 being my favorite…I actually liked playing as Gordon Freeman and the darker story. Crew 2 was just pure arcady fun. I loved just driving for hour straight, like a mini road trip. The new one is even more fun. I loved the big maps, but Motorfest sacrifices size for graphics and honestly…it’s beautiful game. You can tell they really cared for this game and I think this is finally put it up there and rival with NFS and Horizon. Also a point add it’s weird how almost 9 years the crew 1 is still active, and the crew 2 even more. I just feel like they’re games people play, but don’t talk about I also like how I was able to import half my vehicles from the crew 2. I can keep using my beautiful nebula Mitsubishi FTO

[@69-Bot]

Need for Speed 2015, probably has better graphics and gameplay than all of the ones that came after. It’s a slept on game, with in depth modifications. You don’t just have to move a slider bar to change exhaust sound like in Heat, you actually buy new exhausts, which change the sound.

[@killbill71]

I’m loving The Crew Motorfest so far. Lots of fun, loads to do, and looks gorgeous. And you know that Ubisoft will support this game for ages. I loved Forza Horizon 1-3, especially 3, but not so much 4 & 5 (though graphically they were amazing) .

[@WOLFER.]

This felt like an ad....... but a good one at that.

[@HirokaAkita]

Same played TC2 wayyy more than both NFS and Forza in recent years, just bought motorfest today Altough i feel like the map lacks roads and is generally bit too small

Forzas driving dynamics and physics are vastly superior, but the crew is still fun. I wish Forza had the customization the crew and nfs has.

I have so much nostalgia for the original “The Crew”. I specifically remember the hilarious glitches with the multiplayer. And when airplanes would randomly start spinning at Mach 4

Been playing the game since The Crew 1, i love the racing in this game. The crew 2 was somewhat lackluster, especially graphically to the crew 1 but man was it so fun. I can’t wait to get this Crew Motorfest game.

[@Madpiggaming]

the thing I'm worried about is with the crew 2, the map was so big so when they needed to add more content, they could just pick another empty area and build something cool. There is nowhere near enough space in Motorfest for them to do that, so it will be interesting to see how they cope with the lack of space

[@STEELO-247]

I wish it wasn't, but it miles always from being as good as Forza Horizon. The handling is absolutely horrendous

[@lloydfrancis9149]

That Crew Game is Fantastic and I love Forza Horizon but the crew Motorfest has shocked me

[@CrzSncGmr]

I am a NFS Fan, because I grew up playing NFS MW 2012. Then my parents sold my Wii U, and got me an Xbox one with Fh3, so I fell in love with Forza. I started enjoying them less and less as they started to decline. I still liked them though. Then I heard of Motorfest, and I decided to buy it. *BEST CHOICE I EVER MADE* I fricking love it because it doesn’t seem tiny. It listens to the community, and it’s just a great game. I really hope they keep adding more of the Hawaiian islands. And if they can add even more customization, similar to need for speed, it be literally perfect.
