**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 was about to comment about that playlist one with friends😂😂
Thank you.
Cross Play thing is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo bizzare >.> if we can do Grand Races and Demolition Royale... why not let us just crossplay in general??? this baffles me.....
Does this mean we cannot party up between PS4 / PS5 etc? Just asking before I buy because I'm stuck on last gen whereas my friends are on current.
I agree with UI AND traffic car issue. Distracting
FR, I do hate the ghost racers too. I've hit traffic too many times thinking it was just ghosts.
They gotta be removed - it’s so dumb lol
@@_blankface agreed. i mean they are cool but nah
Another thing I don't like about the game. The ghost cars. Total distraction for me. I can't even tell if it's a ghost or another player. And given my track record, I try to avoid hitting other players.
@blankface650 needs to be done better that's all. While it does make the map look more lively since there aren't any people on the streets, I just don't like how it is now.
@FTLopaz86 yeah man, so now I mostly drive in the middle on the road lol. Just to avoid both lanes in case I hit traffic.
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!
This is what I discussed with them through chat , don't know if they listen to the community I am sure not , why wasting time on looting id rather pay for purchasing parts
They should add a FH5 like upgrade system man I hate games that loot/luck to be able to progress even if they make it a little expensive to upgrade car and different setups for the same car like add more handing but lose top speed and stuff like that and they have to make it like FH5 events 1990 Italians cars only and stuff like that and make it bigger party size man 4 ppl is not enough I was hoping at least 10 in a crew cuz it’s me and 8 friends 😢😢 overall they have to take things from FH5 even if ppl don’t like it just to make it competitive if not better
It's not quite as bad if you disable press and hold to confirm in the accessibility options. But yeah seems egregious considering how hated the inventory was in the crew 2
The beta felt better to me than the actual game. Thankfully they offered a trial, because it is just not hitting for me for some reason. The store is disgusting to me, and locking my pc to 60fps is ridiculous, and it's not even stable. I am going from 60-59 constantly.
nobody else hates the way the cpu drivers in racers are? they. just drive right into you like your not even there the same way it is in FH5. they stick to their driving line and ram you out of the way. And the one driver miles ahead of the pack? like wtf is he doing up there. Just a motivation killer. Passing 6 people means nothing if I need to catch upto cracky the space driver.
Cracky the space driver 😂😂
bro i noticed the same exact thing. It's weird because NFS Heat, TC1, and TC2 do it too, and at this point my brain just accepted that AI racers will always follow this odd secret formula of Try-hard & the Laggers
Nfs unbound was the worst about it if you didn't play on the easiest difficulty you had the one car that is always a mile ahead from the start
Need for speed games have been a fraud since EA got involved lol. Feel sorry for all of the EA gamer slaves 😂😂😂😂
exactly man, i just accepted the fact that the ai drivers are stuck in a drive lane and you can’t do anything about it besides maybe hit em into a wall and that’s about it 😂
One more hate point: World is really beautiful and they put a lot of time into it. But it's completely dead. I mean no animals running around, no people on the streets... Remember first Crew game?
True
I don’t think I could control myself from killing people or those animals
@@Sh1ft3r1forza horizon 5 has animals
@@seaofrageThe crew 2 had animals as well. Remember all the photo ops involving area specific animals?
Agree the world is nice but runs like ass.
You know, driving for about 10KM to a next race, I thought about those 1hr-2hr long races in the first crew and how it really felt like ur driving across the country. The landmarks, locations (especially the salt plains. I loved that at night. Really feels like a long lonely road trip) and story just made the crew 1 so good for me. If they apply motorfests physics and sounds to the original The Crew, damn would that be amazing.
That's what I loved about 1 and 2 and I wouldn't play this game if someone gave it to me.
@motorcyclestig8539 That's uh.. weird. Let's not pretend Motorfest isn't a direct massive improvement over Crew 1 and Crew 2 in terms of gameplay / graphics / content. Crew 2 is a dated granny. Get over it. 😂
@asmr-sensei the crew only had 2 things going for it the big map and the flying and boats. The flying looks horrible, the boating looks different and the map is small as hell. Uh that's weird lol btw the car list is horrible 🤣
Crew 2 was trash. I couldn’t even finish it… motor fest is great
@donkalinga3059 the crew motorfest is trash The crew motorfest has no landmarks, no dirt bike tracks, no hovercrafts and no monster truck parks and horrible online play and a small boring map
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
That’s the Shelby Cobra where you can see the fans spinning
The gearshift sounds are absolutely a JOKE, every single box sounds like a sequential box which is as unrealistic as it gets, lmao wtf.
@@user-fi5hc9um6qYour clearly not a car expert 🤡
Also, sometimes you can see your character put their window up/down. I've seen it happen on 1 car I was driving but I don't remember which one it was
@@user-fi5hc9um6q that's completely incorrect o.O
The loan vehicle thing for events is a deal breaker for me. I don't see the point of playing if I can't use my own car and grind until I can upgrade the performance or buy something faster to progress as races get faster / more technical.
Seriously!
Ya so dumb. And there is only on e pvp mode. Sucks
Same for me. I was stuck between getting PD3 or TC:Motorfest or both. Tried the 5 hour trial and while the game is good i might just sub to Ubi+ and play it until i get bored, i dont find it worth full price
I actualy tried to buy the propper cars in the games store but they are still locked for another 28 days. After that you can buy them before a race
This is the worst part for me too. The new Forza has me seriously considering buying an Xbox lol. I just want a car game where you start in a junker and slowly earn money to upgrade and eventually buy more cars
One major issue is crewmates disappearing in freedrive.
Yep, been having this problem trying to play with my friend, it’s been a problem since the beta and it’s pretty annoying that it hasn’t been fixed
i had this problem too, couldnt find a solution anywhere, but i found a fix. just start a event / race together then leave after 1 race and then you will spawn in the same lobby without a problem
@@finnom8484 ill try that out, thx
I can't find my friend in free roam or race with them sometimes I can wth the grand race and demolition sometimes
You can progress playlists with your crew members but they have to activate the playlist first for themselves. After they did that you can play the playlists together and the progress will be counted for the crew leader aswell as for the member.
Facts other people complain about shit that they don't even know to use lol like you can use your own car instead of the loaned one and you can progress w your crew members lol 😂🤦♂️
The whole press instead of hold mechanic i had no idea about and now i do so thank you for that. Also that would be sick if they use other islands for expansion. It would be fun to fly/boat between them. I'd like if they'd add community races back too
one thing that still bugs me is the mirror, even though is just a small problem. Idk why they can't implements something simple like that where every racing games nowadays have that feature, is just defeats the purpose of cockpit camera for me, i don't know maybe i'm just nitpicking things.
Playing through nfs: U2 and Tokyo Xtreme Racer 0, Racer 3, and Drift 2. They all have rear view mirrors 🪞 and those games are old.
@@caliberaid8527 yea just put a rear view screen like when we look behind with our right joystick on top of the mirror frame, doesn't need a rocket science to do that. They can lower the resolution of it just a bit. If they can make a water puddle on the road have a crystal clear reflection, why can't the mirror have it?
It's designed for the Xbox One (the one from 2013) game, so that'll be why
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.
One of my biggest gripe’s about this game is the fact that you can’t change the finish of your rims. It’s always a chrome. But it seems I’m the only one with this pet peeve 😂 also no r32?!? Cmon Ubisoft!! Great game otherwise. I’ve had a blast with all the playlists I’ve played so far. I know that a lot of people don’t like that because you don’t use your own car, however I absolutely love it. It keep’s everything fresh.
yeah idk why we can have like 7 different paint finishes but only 1 rim finish, also need alott more rims, current ones are trash
AND GIVE US AN OPTION FOR WHITE RIMS!!! AAAAHHHHH!!!!
Wheel finishes and SUSPENSION!! I feel like these are common sense in car games and bro is right, no one is complaining enough about these lol, i dont see them changing this to be honest, i love the game nonetheless but these would be crazy good changes
And the rims are horrible, it’s been the same trash a** rims since the first game lol.
@@GrimReaperDee YES FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT!!!! WE NEED TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE SUSPENSION
My personal main complaints is that your always forced to use loaner cars when you do the playlists for the first time, it kinda removes the feeling of building up your own car and more earning the wins, and the nitpick is that we still cant do any form of stance tuning after so long... and no new rims either, and some cars dont even have rims to equip, the R35 being the weird and odd one there. But it annoys me alot when you build a great car but it sits like a monster truck
Yeah I hate that everything is with loaner cars, there’s no reason to choose a car and build it up anymore
You can use your own cars on a playlist
@@mrvoice9746No you can’t. Not the first time through which is what matters.
@@mrvoice9746 only once you’ve completed it, I don’t want to replay the same races
I think the wheels overall are not that bad but i would like some new ones. My problem is that you can't paint Individual rim parts like forza/nfs and your only finish option is chrome.
I hate how you cannot see a players name next to you or on the map. I miss being able to find out names so i can invite to parties or befriend people. I cannot do that anymore.
This ain't Forza where the whole world is filled with Drivatars
I myself was hoping that the side challenges like Salom & Escape being improved by having traffic being ghosted. Mostly just salom cause its quite annoying esspically on some of the tigher / cliffedge in motorfest. other than this I been having fun with motorfest, perhaps more than the crew 2
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?
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
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.
@@MilitiaGamingCommunity thanks so much for the answers. i feel more confident in buying this game now :)
I came into it a fan of the crew and expected it to be almost identical to FH5 (it’s pretty close), but I was pleasantly surprised and definitely impressed with this game as a whole. It’s like NFS, The Crew, and Forza had a baby and I’m having a hell of a time. Still some room for improvement but overall extremely fun!
Everything is just amazing but the only problem is the map sizes , hopefully they will resize the map
So far I've only experienced big frame drops every so often and thankfully it's running way better on PC than the beta did. Still have time on the trial so I'll probably use that up before buying the game. Definitely not a fan of barely using your own vehicles at the start of the game but willing to let the game play out more.
are you sure it isnt your pc, because i dont expierence frame drops
@@Okejordi It was only during the intro but it was no where near as bad as the beta. Haven't had any stutters since so it's running pretty smooth.
Love the game...but really could use the mirrors for better racing
they've outstretched an old game engine most likely.
@@nielsie86 Way older engines/games have it, though
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.
Enjoying the game overall and looks great. Agree with the ‘ghost racers’ as I’ve also hit normal traffic that’s amongst them. For the planes, I find changing the camera to the one further out (right on dpad on PS) is a lot better and more like crew 2. Also turn off plane assist in settings so you have more control to do flips etc.
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.
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.
@@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.
Glad i got this on ps5. My 3080 wouldve been doomed. Plus it looks good on my oled
Hmm weird im on 1440p UW with a 3080 everything ultra and it never really drops from 60 on driver 536.23, a stable 60 even in the grand races
I dont have drops with a 13700k@@FelipePeletti
I really dislike the fact there aren't any single player races that you can use your own person vehicles with
That’s wild and an absolute deal breaker for me
@@MrRiceGuy95 My sincere apologies, but you actually can. You just have to change the settings
One of my main problems is that customisation is a bit lacking with underglows and the other things in the 'vanity' category. Not only are the choices slim but also mostly timed and locked behind real money. I think it should be addressed because I should be able to earn any of the vanity items through progression.
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
I am tempted to get it, but not being able to use your own cars in playlist is the main dealbreaker for me
For real dude that’s what irked me most
That's only for the first race, after that you can replay with any car.
Like how Donut media being actually donut media then FH5
That's absolutely right. I really felt I was in their Video. 🫡
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)
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).
Correction: You can progress while in a Crew both players need to select X to start the event in solo whilst in a crew! You'll stay connected! I actually like the plane physics I feel I have way more control over the plane "With assist off"
You are right. All players must activate the Playlist for all crew members to advance the Playlist!
I felt the opposite about planes. Assist off feels really awkward and looks janky. Assist feels pretty good. Cars i got everything turned off and do sequential though
I still hate that we only have chrome wheels and the r35 still has 3 wheel option 😢
Buy the permissions and licensing for them then
@@ShuntHopper.such a stupid response
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.
Car sounds are hands down the best ive ever heard and the most CONSISTENTLY good in any racing game
The only thing I really hate about the game is that it keeps crashing on me. I have PS4 so I don't know if that's the reason, or if it's because it's been early access. Idk but it's really annoying, and happens more often if I stream
Dang that sucks
Im sad that there is a lack of beard love in customization...
Honestly same
Pretty sure they aimed this game at kids to young to grow beards. The ones that will do micro transactions all day long.
The plane physics can be changed back to how they were in TC2. Just like traction control, abs and stability control, it’s just an assist that can be turned off.
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
PLEASE give us the option to turn A.i ghosts off in free roam. I understand they want it to feel lively, but it’s INSANELY distracting at best…. I don’t appreciate A.I ghosts speeding head on into my lane. The current state of free roam COOP is also broken. My friend and I are disappearing on each others screens constantly. It becomes a little better after we finish an event together, but even then it’s spotty.
12:04 regarding COOP, this is very interesting because my friend and I were able get our own playlist progression while doing these events together. I guess this further proves that COOP is a little busted right now ?
They need to add the flames back for the pop and bangs , we have the sound but not the visual , crew 2 had it so they can easily fix it with an update
That would be a cool thing to bring back for sure
I hate how it constantly crashed during the start up and several times during the game and also caused my PS4 desktop to crash several times too! I also hate how the planes handle like there's a giant hand constantly pushing them to the left but I do like that they've finally added the F8-F Bearcat, but no Sea Fury tho.
I personally love the ghost traffic at least for me it's easy to understand which cars not to hit and which cars you can't hit mainly because of distance, speed and multiple cars are coming through at once. As far as the playlist situation with being in a crew yeah that's crazy. I've haven't even gotten that far in to play with friends yet, but definitely is a troublesome issue when your game is named crew.
I played the 5 hour trial and the ghost racers were literally the thing that made me decide not to buy (among other things). I'm just trying to go for a chill drive, and there's these jumpscare mobs flying at me every 20 seconds and it is just confusing and irritating
I hate the fact that we don't have exhaust backfire flames... like wtf.... how did you miss that?
That was on pourpose i Think, the cars doesn't do that.
Why ... we had it in the crew 1 and 2 and cars really do that in real life 🤦♂️🤷♂️
@@mich3ealthey do that with a ecu and exhaust tune. You upgrade cars in the game you don't tune them besides the pro settings
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!
I do like the fact you can import your eligible cars from the crew 2 in the Motorfest
I agree with the ai races. I said this during the beta
7:52😂😂
I have sometimes the bug that my crew mates don't physically appear in freeplay or the race event get canceled if i start it or/and need to play it alone. To fix the bug we all need to restart the game. Hope they fix that + what you mentioned wirh the crew event progression
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.
Yeah but it makes no sense for the standard controls to only allow you to turn left or right. Thats not how plane physics work at all. I'm just glad you can change it in the settings to the controls from TC2
@donutwithsprinklez tbf the game asks you right at the start if you want to use the simplified handling or not. Theres not really anything to complain about, it doesn't force you to use it
The crew 2 had a feature where you could switch your car parts onto another car easily and I’d like to see that same feature in this game just to make it easier for the summit
Turn off the flight assist in the settings menu and it’ll revert back to the crew two handling…mostly. That aside, I HATE the addition of wind in the airplane and boating events. 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.
They completely ruined the Touring bikes as well 💀
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.
@@dennisraeimakers5218how bad?
Don’t forget to press Right on the D-Pad. The view changes how the plane handles!
@@dennisraeimakers5218Ruinned the Touring bikes was horrible and don't even get an event for them. The Summits doesn't count neither the PVP.
I agree with this list for sure. One thing I would add, maybe I'm doing it wrong but traction seems to just disappear in turns or at high speeds and I'll spin out severely. I'd say that's my only gripe from a gameplay standpoint
check your speed when youre going in those corners, ur probably going 300kmh without realising it
I 100% agree with the ghost cars, I like to turn off all UI and cruise and it's reallyyy annoying. When your cruising at 55 and a group of cars speed by all dumb 🤣
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 😅
Weirdo lol. Plus some cars are only available to get on The Crew 2 😂
@@TheBasher-_- True
Appreciate your thoughtful review!
11:58 BTW u can do ur playlist with friends and it will count for both, to do this, u and ur friends must activate the playlist by both going to the intro container of the playlist. Then u can join the races together and it will count.
I think the biggest problem is the absolutely zero sense of speed... I mean you go from 100 kmph to 300 kmph and you don't feel anything
I 100% agree with everything you said, one thing that really annoys me is that when you change the difficulty for a race by shutting off abs or traction control, once you're done with the race the changed settings carry over to free drive. I'm constantly changing the difficulty for different races and it seems like whenever I go to drive around in freeride I never know how my vehicle will handle. Does anyone else feel the same?
U can progress your playlist with friends if you both are on the same race if one is ahead or behind it don’t count I’ve done all my play list with my mates and it’s worked
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.
that ghost nonsense is so annoying lol.
Donut Media is the ultimate normie car channel.
So is Supercar Blondie 😂
You ain't a car enthusiast unless you know about Motorsport, thus majority of car "enthusiasts" are just normies.
It's all about night ride
There ain’t nothing wrong with Donut. Everybody has to start somewhere. Plus some of their series can teach a lot.
Gatekeeping a dying car community in 2023 is crazy bro, just let people like what they like.
It is about the little changes. As you said for example the Mailbox. It is not a big thing but it is way better!
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 !
Yeah sadly this game just simply isnt worth $70
It is!
I definitely disagree with that. But happy racing!
You can progress playlists with friends you just have to both have it activated and do the races in order, as soon as I played the game I figured that out I don’t think it’s that hard to figure out.
Wow the response on this video is crazy, but I understand why, your a great KZheadr that gets why we all play racing games, your opinions are more than certified, im still on the fence about this game but as it expands and also drops in price I’ll end up getting it
I appreciate the love, thank you! Your patience with buying the game is admirable lol. I wouldnt be able to wait. That being said. it feels like the hardcore Crew community will be with this game for a while so no rush. pick it up when you want to.
13:25 there is an option to use advanced all axis control for the planes in the settings
Great video thank you, Which gama must I buy between GT7 and this one (Motocrest)? Please suggest
One question I have, is can you play playlists with randoms like how you can in NFS or is it just friends? I know about the grand races but I would also like to play playlists with random people as well.
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.
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
What about 60 fps cap? I am also not sure DLSS FG is implemented. This game could achieve like 200 fps on my 4090 (at 4k) and yet I am stuck with 60. Just unlock the framerate and add FG and we are set. That would improve the experience significantly especially for people with these high refresh rate displays.
For the crew playlist everyone have to see the video first to all progress at the same time.
I wish they’d bring back switching parts from one car to another. It was one of my most used features in TC2 and it’s gone now. They need a multi select in the parts menu though to delete parts. I’m glad they have a select all in the mailbox now. The gps is bad 2x. Connection with friends is pretty bad with the despawning and respawning. They shouldn’t have challenges where you need friends to do em. There’s plenty of people that aren’t gone go outta their way to find people for those. You hit all the main negatives though. I do wish I could uncap the frames though. I have forza maxed as much as possible with DLSS3 turned on and get 300fps. Sucks we’re restricted to 60 on this game.
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
True!
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.
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.
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!!
i agree with you on so many things the ui need a little change the same for the traffic. the map size is i think just something to get just to. i do miss the long high speed hypercar races 30min plus time. and i have trouble with night time, everything is the same colour and really difficult to see. and i don't know if it's just me ai level 1 super easy level 2 not even getting close and level 3.4.5 don't even begin. is the car level to low or do i suck?
I have those framerate issues too all the time and the issue is also not my pc. My gpu is always on 60-80% load and never even near 100%, my vram is only half full at 4 gigs and my cpu is chilling at 15-25% usage. Also when my controller is on really low battery and disconnects my framerate drops to something like 2-3 fps and then I have to use task manager to close the game
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.
12:30 You can play the event solo when you are in a crew, look at the bottom right corner
Something that I do love is the 180 degree wheel rotation when your using a wheel, whereas forza only has a 90 degree wheel rotation, which makes it feel very unrealistic.
I have two more playlists….I hope they add more cause I blew through it. Along with working all day. I only play it from 6-9pm since it dropped for the ultimate edition.
Best review I've seen so far, thank you!
Me and my friend both progressed in the playlists together. You just need to activate them.
@12:35 you can just hold "X" just to play solo even if you're in a crew. if you press it once, it'll automatically send the invites to your friends.
You can progress play list together. The none party leader just has to make sure they have started the playlist
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
I also noticed that clothes don’t glitch through eachother like other games.
There is actually a setting to change the plane handling to just how it was like in the Crew 2.
At 12:49 there’s complaining about absolutely being in solo can’t be in a crew to start solo but if you hold the button as mentionned in bottom right corner. Also playlists do progress when playing with friends, you just have to be at the same step as them to progress together, it works for me
All ive done in the game so far is finish the donut media playlist but as far as i can see there arent any races? I dont know if im missing something? Coming from the crew 2 where i can pick just a race to do but here there dont seem to be any races only playlists, i might be being stupid so please let me know if i am 😂
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 😢
I was able to progress the Playlist with my friend and he got the progress for it to all he had to do was start the same Playlist with me when I started it and when the leader starts the race it counts for both of us and we both get the reward car at the end
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.
