The Crew 2 Official Game Discussion Thread

[Nacho Libre]

The adaptability of The Crew 2 to create their seasons using both existing and updated assets is an area that is clearly superior to the current FH model.

Plus, the original USST was the most popular.

They added a "MotorFest Island" in the middle of Lake Michigan! Might do some exploring.

Editing is impressive, content is a joke.

Really big update happening right now. 33.78 GB for the Series S, I suspect it is the same in the SX.

The Touring Car meta has been overhauled with the new update.

The Crew 2 Season 8 Episode 1: USST – Patch Notes

The first Episode of Season 8 has arrived! Handling updates and a whole new playground for you to race in. Coming March 15th.

All the top times for the Summit event on the new track have been done with the Saleen S7R, but maybe people haven't tried the new fastest car yet.

I did notice in BlackPanthaa’s video that the Saleen has absolutely insane grip, so that will probably go some way to explaining why it’s so busted

It's funny that he used the Supra from the FH4 announcement in the thumbnail 🤣

Downloaded Need for speed Most Wanted('05). Handling model is almost identical to Crew 2 Street class. Yet, racing games players praising MW and not happy with TC2. What's wrong with them?

Double standards and also it’s easy to **** on Ubisoft because it’s a company run by Yves Guillemot.

Ubisoft is currently one of the companies that if you hate the company or any of its games you are considered a true gamer and man of culture by the rest of the stylistic gamers.

In the case of NFSMW it is also a matter of nostalgia.

Nostalgia. People who adore old NFS games like Undrground and Most Wanted don't remember how simplistic they were. They just have fond memories about them and remember them as incredible etc. Nowadays those games wouldn't stand out.

Tbh they are a pretty awful company, but isn’t that true for most big business nowadays?
And besides, it’s unfair to compare their output to the person who commissioned it, although they have definitely released some stinkers lately.

I haven't played that NFS game to know if I'd agree that it's very similar to TC2 SR, but I think there are two factors that can make some people unhappy with TC2:

1. If they don't have an understanding of how to set the cars up properly. A lot of cars need some adjustment from the default setup.

2. If they tend to use the "tap steering" method on a controller, which works well for Forza, but is really bad for TC2, you instead often need to use partial stick movements to take corners smoothly, treating the stick more like a steering wheel.

Not really true - NFS MW still has great, flowing map design, amazing sense of speed and very competent police AI, even if they do show their faults occasionally.

NFS UG2 also has a fully-fledged dyno mode, not to mention how it combined street racing and legal track races (like actual tracks, not just set in the same city streets like Heat), and the insane depth of it's visual modification. Oh, and a handling model that makes much more sense than Unbound's.


To pass anyone's love of these games off as pure nostalgia is being wilfully ignorant, people still replay these games constantly as adults. Mindlessly loving new games while dismissing anything old doesn't help matters either.




...But anyway. What I came to this thread to say is that I'm genuinely interested in picking this game up again. When it first came out I just couldn't get into it, it felt lifeless and honestly just a slog to play through. Seems that has changed quite a bit now, looks to be a great "chill out" type of game. Any thoughts from anyone here?

 

[Nacho Libre]

I'm surprised with how much time I have invested now in TC2. I picked it up at a discount (season pass included) because FH5 felt stagnant and I needed something fresh/exciting. After the initial grind (I'm icon 818 as of now) I can go to the weekly live summit events and expect to rank in gold/platinum at least.

I love the variety of events, and having bikes, planes and boats is a fun change of pace, and I haven't spent any real money on the game.
