Everything I LOVE and Everything I HATE About THE CREW MOTORFEST (So far)

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

**SOME THINGS I GOT WRONG** - You CAN progress playlists with your friends. Both players need to "activate" the container for the playlist and then you will both get progression. - Game is NOT FULL CROSS PLATFORM. It’s match-made cross play in The Grand Races and Demolition Royale. You CANNOT invite you friends from another platform to your crew/party

I feel like they made us unable to see the full map to make the map seem "bigger". I played the beta and they had me take a survey of the game. I voted that I HATED the ghost cars, and it's disappointing to see them in the full game. I also dislike that we still have to individually delete each part. Can't there be a filter or something that allows us to delete all green parts, etc?

The best thing to do is fill your inventory up and then manage your parts from your mailbox. This allows you to delete all blue or all green etc. your welcome!

[@swishingblade3852]

A couple things I want to add about the good side are little details like when you are going 35-50 mph your character will stick their arm out the window and cruise, sometimes your character will adjust their mirror and I even seen a comment that said the radiator fans were moving on their car(I forget the car). Another good thing is Night time is actually dark in unlit areas and headlights actually work. And lastly the gearshift sounds are absolutely amazing. And for the people that hated the crew 2 handling well cars actually have weight now and every car feels unique in its driving and handling EDIT: I just found out your high beams will come on in darker areas and turn off when around lights, neighborhoods and other lit areas at night

Militia, there is an option in the game where you can turn the airplane controls to the way it was in TC2. When you first play the game and fly it’s at a point where you can’t do rolls or loops. It’s just a turn left and turn right. I forget what setting it is, but if you turn it off it will allow the plane to control like on TC2. I had the same complaint during the testing but I figured they’re had to be an option to fix it.

Hey man, I really appreciate this impressions video, it's the first one I've seen that touches on the differences between this game and The Crew 2. I have a couple of questions: 1. I heard you can import your car selection from the Crew 2. Is this optional? Have you done it? Do you feel that this hurts the progression of the game? 2.Can you select the weather in the open world sections? How does the rain and snow look? 3. It was hard to tell from the video, but are there any pedestrians? Also regarding the ghost cars, can you turn them off? Can you select the density of the traffic? 4. Something I didn't quite understand is something about the races. As a solo player, my only options for races are the playlists? Can I take my own personal cars for race tracks? Are there any tournaments of some kind?

[@DietDrDoge]

No you cannot turn the ghost cars off. You also cannot change the weather. Nor can you change the density. I'm not quite sure about your last question though

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

First thanks! now answers: 1. You can import TC2 cars whenever you'd like. I chose not to in the beginning to see what it felt like. Honestly, the only reason to import would be to compete in the Summits/Grand Races straight away. If you're only concern is the PVE progression then no I dont think importing hurts you at all. The entire PVE content is done with loaner cars. 2. You cannot select it in the open world. You can select it in the photomode and kinda select it in the custom races. 3. No Peds, No traffic adjustment options. 4. Playlists have to be completed in order to unlock the ability to race those races at will with any car. A playlist is somewhere between 7-10 races and it is its own "experience" so they tailor make it with cars that fit the experience. After you've completed it, the game rewards you with a car and then allows you to play those races on your own with any car you'd like including cars that do not fit that race's class. Some of the playlists are "championships" where you accumulate points over the course of the playlist.

Running on a 4080, playing on an ultrawide monitor, the game runs good until I start the 28 player races, then it bogs down to 40 FPS. What I despise the most is that its capped at 60 FPS. It seems odd how we still have to have these low framerate limits, especially if its tied to physics as the previous games were. Probably has to do with them supporting the crummy older consoles as well. I know shareholders push for it to increase sales, but at this point its holding innovation back.

[@FelipePeletti]

Using a 4080 here too. I was worried that I might have to upgrade my CPU. The game is running at 4k, everything on ultra at 60fps. But out of nowhere it drops to 45 to 50fps but actually it feels much slower than that. The funny thing is GPU usage is 65% max when that happens. Thankfully it's not a CPU issue, hope they fix this soon.

[@DisorderlyDriver69]

@@FelipePeletti I agree. Hopefully updates fix the drops. It does feel much slower than 40-45 that it displays. It feels like it drops down to 20-25 FPS. Everywhere else, like normal playlists and open world it holds at 60 FPS on max settings no issues.

Great video, I agree with all the points... except the plane handling thoughts. It's so crazy because I've heard both sides of the argument and they're intriguingly polar. Some think Motorfest's new plane system is a huge upgrade, and others say it's atrocious. in my opinion TC2's plane physics were very flat and unengagingly stiff, but in motorfest i've become SO much more flexible and agile while in my Harmon Rocket HRIII. I'm able to do low-altitude outer loops like crazy now because of how much more controllable the planes are. Also, Motorfest is more tolerant when you crash your plane, and it doesn't immediately respawn you in the air if you hit a tree. I like that a lot.

[@DONUT2858]

I get this keeps the races full, but a massive missed opportunity not allowing for cross-play co-op. Massive thumbs down for that point.

[@eliasl.j2839]

Yeah one of the few things I really dislike about the game is that first time you do a playlist, you will be in loaner vehicles. It doesn't feel rewarding or worth it to buy a new car and customize it if you can't even use them. It should just be the same system from TC2. For example, if you play a hypercar race you can choose a hypercar from your collection to play the race with. I assume the reason they made the playlists like this is because everybody then races with the exact same car and the leaderboards can be more reflective of skill and racing lines, but it is still stupid to me.

These events are already a throw away, almost forced because that’s the Crew’s “thing” is having land, sea and air. We didn’t need a new challenge, we needed them to handle better and be more fun. Now that fast travel is unlocked and I’m done with that air / sea playlist, I won’t use any of my boats or planes until a summit requires me to.

[@dennisraeimakers5218]

They completely ruined the Touring bikes as well 💀

[@ValaShen]

Small tip for planes: The default camera angle is "static" for some reason. If you tab over to "dynamic" camera angle it completely changes the feel of it. Static keeps the camera parallel with the ground and the plane rotates. Dynamic let's the camera roll with the plane like in 99% of flying games.

[@Tha-mountain]

@@dennisraeimakers5218how bad?

[@Abel_GTx]

Don’t forget to press Right on the D-Pad. The view changes how the plane handles!

[@jorgec3577]

​@@dennisraeimakers5218Ruinned the Touring bikes was horrible and don't even get an event for them. The Summits doesn't count neither the PVP.

[@keegangossett2896]

One thing that irks me is that you have to complete 10 playlists before you can really fast travel in this game. I don’t like having to drive to each event individually is it becomes a chore especially when each playlist is 7-9 events long.

[@dirtycasper]

I agree with the ai races. I said this during the beta

[@TheresNoPowers]

The thing i dont like is that i will inevitably compare it to TDU1 and 2 because of the map, but its like SIGNIFICANTLY smaller than a game thats over 15 years old

[@DRIIVE34]

7:52😂😂

[@billybobbyboy2681]

nil the thing I miss the most from the crew 2 is what you said at the end. 12am half asleep, me and 3 of my friends would boot up the new york race and just play it since it was something nice to do. the closest thing they have in this game is the last race of the liberty playlist, but even then it makes you use 3 or two different cars and its only like 16 minutes long. (I also really miss the drifting from the crew 2)

[@Smoove233]

I wish they didn’t let us have all our cars brought over. I would’ve rather grinded for them But I couldn’t resist the offer 😅

[@TheBasher-_-]

Weirdo lol. Plus some cars are only available to get on The Crew 2 😂

[@Smoove233]

@@TheBasher-_- True

[@massive2341]

Even though it's highly unlikely, the hopeful side of me is that the small map will be made up for with not just other Hawaiian islands but even Japan. Only saying that bc when I went thru the JDM playlist, they seemed to hint at that somewhat. Again, I don't see that happening any time soon (maybe as like year 5 content) but hey you never know. A lot of the issues I have with the game have to do with its UI and some visuals (I HIGHLY disagree on the character models looking good atm) but otherwise, I'm pleasantly surprised by this game. A very big step up from the first two imo.

[@MaggotAddict21]

Donut Media is the ultimate normie car channel.

[@tbmdd]

So is Supercar Blondie 😂

[@RukaGoldheart]

You ain't a car enthusiast unless you know about Motorsport, thus majority of car "enthusiasts" are just normies.

[@DietDrDoge]

It's all about night ride

[@goodie2shoes874]

There ain’t nothing wrong with Donut. Everybody has to start somewhere. Plus some of their series can teach a lot.

[@ImJusBuba]

Gatekeeping a dying car community in 2023 is crazy bro, just let people like what they like.

[@LxstGalaxy2000]

I'm so glad they fixed the 1st person view, I love using 1st person when cruising but it was hard in the crew 2 with the stiff steering wheel whereas the crew 1 had good movement

[@nojokecookies]

that ghost nonsense is so annoying lol.

[@GaigeStorm]

Played the 5 hour trial and for as much great as this game does i hate the fact they made owning cars obsolete. Everything is just using a loan car and you never get to use your own. I really hope they fix this because that was a deal breaker for me in deciding to buy the game

[@Mr.Mlsunderstood]

Yeah sadly this game just simply isnt worth $70

[@jointy33]

It is!

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

I definitely disagree with that. But happy racing!

[@SlotterYT]

Yeah, there are a couple gripes that I have with this game, but overall a really good racer. The double tap pause button thing took me a second to realize, as I didn’t know you had to do that in order to access the sidebar. The frame rate drops only happened for me when I’d tap the PS button on my controller, and then go back into the game. Going to the better parts, the playlists thus far in my gameplay have been awesome, which I’ve played 5 (the Donut Media one, the Supercar Blondie one, Made in Japan, American Muscle, and the Vintage Collection).

[@jayyo195]

I couldn’t agree more on everything you pointed out. I get a lot of frame drops too over on pc. I also don’t like how the mirrors don’t work and the rims are horrible. It’s just a copy paste from the last game. Sometimes it’s best to stay with the stock rims. I can’t even make my rims a bright white color, it’s impossible. The rim stays shiny, I can’t make it matt. Sometimes the AI can’t drive properly. You’d see them turn weird and stuff, maybe it has to do with the connection. Also I’m a big photo guy, I would love to have more filters in the camera mode. They also need to fix the changing gears animation in first person, Sometimes he does it and sometimes he don’t. Also there’s certain gloves that have texture issues like you could see your hand glitching through it. Other than that boys, great game. I’ve put in a lot of time in it already, it’s a lot of fun and it’s beautiful. Edit: WE NEED CUSTOM LICENSE PLATES 😢

[@yp.m1534]

With map expansions we've already seen what the developers did in the crew 2 and specially with the racetrack in the middle of the water but If they will be able to replicate that level content is yet to be seen. maybe in a couple of years we could get the best open world map of recent racing games or maybe not. Its really a 50/50.

[@Darkplasma26]

Me and my friend both progressed in the playlists together. You just need to activate them.

[@masonhunt4941]

I don’t like how you can’t use your own cars at all in playlists until you complete the whole playlist at that point I don’t even feel like going back to those events

[@MefistOGamer2016]

I'm not so optimistic towards this game :( The only things I like: Nice map which reminds me of my beloved TDU1 Motorbikes Drift tracks Weather effects Classic car experience Drag racing cockpit view animations It is still a way better game than the crew 2 :P Now the things that are unpleasant to me (From the FH player view: Colors, unrealistic mess of a pallet. Even more cringy atmosphere than in FH Plastic feel to graphics, cars, people Unbalanced feel of the car, you never know if you can take a corner and how to make it feel in control The cold start of the car is always weird and unrealistic. Boosted cars sound with too much bass which really ruins the distinction between the engine types. Shifting sound Floating GPS Damn blurred mirrors in the cockpit view!

[@Smilldon]

For the plane controls go to options then difficulty then go all the way down to airplane handling assist and turn it off. Now it’ll be just like the crew 2!!

[@kenaitwo]

in the settings, you can desable plane assist and it will be the same handling as tc2 (personally, i"ve never never used planes in tc2 because i just couldn't handle them, i hated the way it worked and now, with the assit setting, i can finally enjoy flying everywhere !

[@Luk04G]

For some reason when driving the jesko, the character does manual gear shifts as if it were with a lever. Hope they fix it cus it is a bit immersion breaking

[@briankinch2503]

Planes and boats opens everything Cuts down travel time. Play all Playlist in half the time. 4real

[@lapunk9x9]

Alright, I'm sold. I'll try it out, esp. after you said the car sounds were good. That is the most important thing to me tbh.

[@whitevortex]

you get a loaned vehicle to be able to move around the map as you literally wouldnt be able to without one at the start

[@Rx7Fc88]

I don’t want to sound like a 12 year old but one thing I dislike is that they didn’t even add the skyline r32 but other then that and the ghost rider’s pretty good game 👍🏼💯

[@infamoussquire2955]

as for the progression problem that you mentioned, where the leader of a group who attempts to do 'campaign' missions and the other members only get cash or drop rewards for the race rather than progression; i feel like this is a really tricky one, per my experience in Warframe (totally unrelated game but), i used to be able to get pulled to sections and missions that i was nowhere near unlocking and this really threw off my solo progression in the long run a couple hundred hours later, because now i have really good drops and stuff in the game, but now i have to go back and do all these tedious missions and challenges that i should have done in the first place to get where i got. that said, there are totally workarounds for that, but that may be one of the reasons that they chose to do it the way they did other than that, this is a solid review! not biased one way or the other entirely and leaving room for another, more complete review, is a good choice imo, i might like to check out that review when it comes out!

[@jaymendes5877]

For the progression in a crew, my friend and i played together and we managed to progress at the same time, i was the crew leader but he was the one launching the races.

[@Hypnos998]

The point about the starter car. It really bugged me too which I think it needs changing BUT you don't get the car for 0 reason. If you go back and complete challenges for each playlist a good amount of them require the starter car to be completed. I only realized this one when I went to complete all the challenges with a friend

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

True!

[@JimoNutron]

For the planes in the settings i believe it is either the controls tab or difficulty tab but theres is an option to turn simple flight off. After you do that they handle identical to crew 2

[@BIGGZZ_Gaming]

So nobody's going to talk about the missing exhaust backfire flames or the not working mirrors 16:23

[@johnjrambo19]

3 games in still haven’t fixed the issue of mirrors . The ability to see what’s behind you !! . Cars look awesome , but get ruined by the janky looking mirrors

[@h0mbi]

I love the crew but no joke 60fps lock in 2023 is just a no go

[@Stemage]

If you change the camera on the plane one notch, it changes it to exactly how it was in The Crew 2. Not sure why this isn't default.

[@MilitiaGamingCommunity]

hmmm...ill have to try that

[@SebuTK]

It’s unfortunate they got rid of the full US map in hopes to compete with the likes of FH5. Was a great idea and probably the only thing I enjoyed about the crew. Also why do the cars drop like bricks? Happened in the first one and the second crew, the physics are so bad

[@hariss9927]

Anybody else have the issue of friends constantly disappearing when cruising online?

[@tomtom-iu4zs]

You can progress playlists when playing with friends. You both have to start it at the container. It won't progress if only the host watches the intro video to the playlist.

[@arvidklungland5080]

12:30 You can play the event solo when you are in a crew, look at the bottom right corner

[@Simgii]

Great video! It seems that the frame drops might have to do with the nonstop "this friend is now online" notification. Every time I get that notification, it drops fps for a split second.
