This is gonna bomb so hard.
And I don't want it to, it's nice to have other options for racing but I don't think taking on Horizon is a good idea.

Terrible.
And I am one of those who loved TheCrew 1 & 2.
With this trailer Ubisoft missed the point.
The Crew was a road trip, not a racing game but a driving game were the exploration was a part of the experience. That's why it survived to Forza Horizon, which was a better racong game but sterile.
People wanted a TheCrew set in Europe and they give us this.

What a shameful Horizon rip-off. Nothing creative about it. That reminds me. What happened to the new Test Drive?

Dead on Arrival. Let's forget it was even announced.

I played like two hours of the first Crew game, then uninstalled it and put it in my Abandoned category. That awful Ubi UI, soulless activities, pointless grinding.
Way to take the fun out of driving cars on a big map. Everything I've seen of 2 and now this has only reinforced my opinion that these games are no better.

Damn. Wait, where IS Solar crown, dammit.

I can't play Pikmin at all, but if Ubisoft came out with a 2nd hand bootleg named Dikmin I'd end up just buying a switch.

This game looks graphically rough based on the videos I saw especially in "performance" mode. I just don't see where this game fits, its a bad Horizon knock off and can't touch NFS on the street racing front. The only thing it has going for it is that it's multiplatform and PS guys will get inferior version of Horizion, but they can wait for Test Drive, which I believe will be a much better game than this.

I have an extra beta key for PS5 for anyone who wants it! Closed beta is today through Sunday.
I was able to play a little bit but it is better than the previous games in every way. The handling is much more satisfying for cars, bikes, boats and planes. Looks and plays great in performance mode with some minor hitches here and there.

Really enjoying the beta, and I have pretty bad open world racer fatigue (thanks forza horizon). Not surprised I'm enjoying it, as I got Crew 2 a couple months ago and found it insanely refreshing compared to FH games.
This is first come first serve, but I have 2 invites left with this link : (might be PC only)

It does, and that’s my favorite part of The Crew 2.
Loving this beta so far. Definitely going to be playing this game a lot.

They could have dropped this exact same trailer for Forza Horizon 6 and everyone would be pooping their pants over how good it looks.

It's not optimized or bugged or something. I know Ubisoft are looking into it. I was getting 13fps on a 3070. Changing everything to low didn't help either.

Seen some people having issues. I'm getting steady 60fps, no drops, high preset - 6700k/3060ti.
In contrast to the last beta that I had to cap to 30fps as I was getting horrific fps.

Way more variety and progression in The Crew. Forza is prettier but that's absolutely it. FH is baby's first open world racer.

I've been burned on Forza Horizon to the point I don't even want to try the 5th game, I played 3 and 4 back to back and it felt more like an expansion than a sequel. As much as people like to dismiss this game, I wouldn't mind trying somebody else's flavour of the concept. What I've seen so far looks good.

I just spent 3 hours on the beta with a friend, we had a great time. It's super fun, the physic of the cars are surprisingly good, of course it's an arcade game but I felt connected wuth the car with my wheel (DD Pro). The haptics in the DualSense are also super good. It's a day one for me without a doubt.

I was invited to an insider version and it had a very weird issue, it was using the CPU's integrated graphics instead of my 4090, so I got like 10-15 FPS, even in the menus in 4K.
The only way to run on the 4090 would have been to go in the bios and disable the integrated GPU.
No thanks, I just deleted it.
I did not try the beta yet but this sounds like they still not have fixed that issue.

What do you need IGPU for anyway? Just curious.

I'm playing it and the fps counter is showing me 120fps (although 60fps is selected in the menu), I also have a 4090 but with a 13700k. At least this beta actually works with the 4xxx series cards, not like the last one!
Other wise I'm having fun with the game, handling is quite nice, I can drift my S2000 easily into any corner. Drift and drag events are pretty fun on the highest difficulty.
Only thing that I don't like is that you can turn off nitrous before a race to earn more credits, but the AI keeps on using it, and sometimes it's impossible to catch with the cars the game gives you in events. That and the game need a UI scaler, the UI is way too big.

I've been playing Forza Horizon 6: Hawaii... sorry, The Crew: Motorfest on PC, today and yesterday, and while it borrows very heavily from Microsoft's classic franchise, it does offer some different event types and has a more summery light fun feel to the whole thing that is surprisingly addictive. I was really enjoying it - the Vintage Cars playlist with themed songs for each decade's events was awesome... racing a Ferrari F40 to Blondie's Call Me was just pure joy for me and only marred by the constant radio dialogue that, while informative, does get annoying when you are trying to listen to the music. Game also looks very nice, not quite up there with Forza Horizon5 on extreme PC settings with ray-tracing but close. More like Forza on Medium/High settings and without ray-tracing, if you like. Only has options for 30 and 60 fps on PC, which is disappointing, but the game was running perfectly on my system (well, up to a point...): i5-13600KF, 32 GB, RTX 4080, Windows 11 Pro 22H2.
Sadly, after some 4-5 hours and completing three of the playlists, the game has started to crash. I've had four now, some within minutes of resuming a save and racing to the next event. I've been submitting crash logs, obviously, but the files all verify correctly and there is no mention of these crashes in under Applications in the Event log on Windows. This is a beta though so issues like this are to be expected. I'm sure they will be fixed for launch. I actually wasn't interested in this game prior to playing the closed beta but it is a big improvement on the bland but competent The Crew, 2 and now I've had chance to try it, it is definitely on my Wanted list.

Multiple screens setup, can't plug all on my main GPU.
