Orlando (Motorfest codename) was an expansion for The Crew 2 in the first place, but they decided to make a full game out of it, same thing happened with AC Mirage, which was a DLC for Valhalla initially.
Ubisoft is currently in a difficult economic situation in which it has many games in development but not to be released in the short term (if not in 2024-2025 at least) except for the Avatar game and some F2P such as Xdefiant, due to this they decided to cancel the expansions that he had planned for The Crew 2 and AC Valhalla to later turn them into complete games even if they are on a smaller scale than the previous installments.

Yeah but at least the Forza games have somewhat realistic vehicle mechanics. All other arcade racers handle like garbage so what's the point in playing them? Surely you can't go from Forza to The Crew or Need for Speed and be thinking "wow this driving feels great"

which are?
if this means that they'll give horizon competition then im all for it, but having ubisoft in charge doesnt give me any hopes, happy for the playstation players
hopefully 3 will be a USA based festival because that map has to be amazing

NFS and The Crew don't advertise simulation mechanics. If you're going to make an open world playground game, why aim for "sim mechanics" when you have objectives that require you to go 300+ mph while jumping off of a cliff?

I don't know about Motorfest, but the big difference between FH4 and TC2 for me is that TC2 is a more competitive focused game. In FH4 you basically unlock new cars each week by participating in activities that are so easy that they can only be seen as chores along the same lines as mowing lawns, washing up etc. They're just things you have to do that consume your time while providing no challenge and hence no satisfaction. In TC2 you have to earn the highest level rewards by being in the top x players for the weekly summit, where x varies by platform due to different player counts. For me it is much more satisfying to have these weekly competitive leaderboards to play for rather than racking up participation prizes. I don't know what Motorfest will be like in this respect, I have heard they want to make it more like FH, I don't know if that extends to the participation rather than competition philosophy.
The driving in TC2 feels fine to me, and I'm able to tune cars using my experience from games such as FH4 and GT7, e.g. balancing aero and mechanical grip between front and rear to balance the car at different speeds. I feel like these games largely need the same driving skills as each other to do fast times.

I really dislike rewards being given out to only a certain percentage of players (and no other way of getting them further down the line). In my opinion everybody should be able to get it, but still has to meet certain things. Maybe like 750k points to be able to unlock the car

Looks like both.
Its TC2 with new map and tweaked handling. All TC2 systems ported directly into TCM.
Car upgrade system, player leveling, money, summit are basically the same. PreSummit part of game was refined into vehicle themed playlists with vehicle as reward (Supra for Japan playlist). Rewind, in-depth difficulty tuning similar to Forza.

Tried out 'The Crew 2'. Even by arcade standards i just found the physics model pretty bad across the board. It really felt like 95% of the effort went on the world & 5% on the vehicles. Unless the handling models have been significantly reworked, i'll steer clear of this.
I am glad they're downsizing however. I'd rather see quality over quantity. O'Hau is still massive if done properly. TDU showed that & you'd think it'll be an improvement on that.

So how big is the map? Is it much smaller than the crew 2 map? Bigger than fh5 I presume.

40km^2 would be significantly smaller than FH5, which is 107km^2. Both are tiny compared to real the real Oahu which is 1500km^2.
I don't know where @inCloud got 40km^2, but that's the only size I've seen been given.

There's loads of leaks because they just invited 2000 players to sign an NDA and playtest the game. Obviously, there's no consequences for breaking that NDA since it's not like there's anything high stakes for them like a job

I don't even think the driving is that great in Horizon either. It's not bad but the cars are prone to sliding and lack unique character.
Wait, he said 40x40km, that's actually 1600km^2. The real Oahu is about 65x65km
TC2 is about 6000km^2

Lol, right?
Now that Motorfest is confirmed to be a standalone title, I reckon it deserves its own thread:
The Crew™ Motorfest | Ubisoft (UK)
Newest iteration in The Crew™ franchise, The Crew™ Motorfest lets you fulfill the driving bucket list of your dreams in a beautiful Hawaiian open world.www.ubisoft.com
This is absolutley disppointment..............they could of made a new driver game instead

Reflections is working on an open world game apparently (hopefully it wasn't one of Ubi's recently canceled projects) and Watch Dogs is in a dead state commercially speaking as an IP.
I wouldn't be surprised if Ubi brings back Driver in the next few years if not as a racing game but as an open world third person shooter like Driv3r or Parallel Lines.
