No solo game save, microtransactions that have lead to the grind being even longer and it brings the Free to Play model to a full price retail game?

If I find it doesn't at least have a photo mode, then I'm cancelling the preorder.

MadmanCK from TDU drivetime flew to Lyon for a visit with the Devs and hands on game play time (10 hours) with the Crew. For lack of a better word, this game sounds simply epic. This is a must read for anyone interested in this game.

Thanks for posting this. I'm getting really hyped up for this game now! One thing really impressed me though:
"There are fully modeled tracks, I drove on Laguna Seca and saw others at Sebring and Indianapolis and there are probably a lot more."

That's simply awesome! I could go on about how cool this is to me, but I'll keep it short :p
 
The fully modeled tracks impressed me as well :) I wonder how many more there will be?

It's great to hear they are really nailing the physics, reading that part gave me a sigh of relief.

The map size sounds incredible, theyt are estimating 4 hours to drive around the whole thing, even Oahu in TDU was not that large, it took less than 2 hours at top speed to drive around the whole thing.
 
Had very little interest in this...However things are sounding pretty dam good. Going to keep my eye on it see how it develops.
 
My interest has definitely picked up after reading that, right now its SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!
 
Nice. Well it is looking amazing. I have an Xbox One and a PC. Eventually will get a PS4 but not sure when. Would definitely want to play a game like this with some GTPlanet guys.:cheers:
 
I'm starting to look forward to this, I enjoyed Driver SF and TDU, I like what I seen and I have always enjoyed long distance Driving.

I'll be getting it on PS4, as it seems to be the only decent racer for it (been waiting for Driveclub for over 5 months now, and I'm not buying NFS Rivals for it).

So what version will you guys be picking up? One of the console's or PC?

PS4 for me. Will be playing this with guys from another forum I main for sure, but it would also be cool to play with some GTP guys too. :D
 
So that's confirmation wheels will be supported on next gen consoles?

Also I'm really hyped about this, the problem for me will always be that I have really slow internet so I think that will ruin the experience.

The map size I think is 5000 sq km (the Oahu map was 1600 sq km or 1/3rd of the Crew) I read somewhere. That is about 1/3rd the size of the Codemasters Game, Fuel map (which is about the size of Connecticut). Also I read that it takes 90 minutes to go from one end to the other. If that is true, to drive the entire perimeter of the map, it would take at least 5 hours (90 min West East, 1 hour south north, 90 min east west, and 1 hour north south). It makes me laugh though at how the cities are so huge compared to the rest of the map.
 
The relish will be just how well they design the world between the cities and towns. If it gives an authentic taste then anyone who idolises America and has that idealised vision of it - such as myself - will be in for a treat.

Or they could go full-Fuel and have barren wasteland for miles on end, along with some nice big lakes and saltpans to fill the map out.

PC for me, although I don't think my laptop can handle the graphics. If I can do Need For Speed World and Trackmania Nations, then I'm pretty sure I can do The Crew.
 
I hope I can change gears myself, Driver SF was completely ruined by the lack of a manual tranny, and the stupid"Instagram filter" styled graphics.

PS4 for me. That is, if I have one by the time this game hits the shelves.

I know I'll be playing this game, along with DriveClub, in the near future, but I guess I'll wait until E3 before I decide whether or not I want to pre-order the Limited Edition.

EDIT (5/18): I thought this was interesting...what does anyone think of this?

Driver SF had great physics in my opinion, not particularly realistic, but good fun.
 
Finally an open world game with good wheel support, also the news about the hardcore handling option have made me more interested in the game. Driver SF not having wheel support at launch was a huge failure in myopinion I actually EXPECT from the get go wheel support in these kind of games. Also from the games like GTA V and Mafia series I expect it , Mafia I with wheel is awesome :-)
