'The Crew' on Xbox One vs. Xbox 360 has 'huge differences' says Ubisoft

Examiner: "Cross-generational games have been well documented by this point, and it's clear that there are always certain sacrifices that need to be made for the game to run acceptably on the weaker consoles. We spoke with Ubisoft regarding their upcoming MMO-esque racing title, The Crew which is launching on November 11 and the developers say it will suffer a similar fate."

This is the 1st I heard it was cross gen, what a bummer. I wouldn't get it on last gen anyways. Same reason I'm not getting AC rogue even though I think its going to be a great game. I'm going to be stuck waiting for the current gen version.

RuleNumber53516d ago

Yeah it was announced a month or so ago. The studio that is creating the 360 version isn't the same as the studio creating the new-gen version. Creates more hope that new-gen's integrity has not been compromised. I'll be stuck on current-gen as well.

Magicite3516d ago

Ubi might as well have saved resources wasted on x360 version and made true current-gen game.

spacedelete3516d ago

thats what they said for Watch Dogs and that was literally the same difference on last gen and next gen other than framerate dips.

RuleNumber53516d ago

No actually, cutscenes are unbelievable in this game. From what I've seen anyway.

Walker3516d ago

Is the difference between PS4 and xbone version that huge ?

DanzoSAMA3516d ago (Edited 3516d ago )

There's only one different. Xbox ONE version have better Online service.

Knushwood Butt3516d ago

These cross gen games are holding back the current generation.

At least Ubisoft are doing it right with AC Unity.

Wait. I don't get it. I reported on something that I recently noticed. I did mention in my article that I wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't gone to play The Division 2. That said, if this was nearly a week ago, I wouldn't know, as NO ONE REPORTED ON IT! Not IGN. Not Gamespot. Not Kotaku. No one.

You got people here complaining that there are any real gaming journalists and game journalism sucks, but when someone is acting, doing something to make something known to the public about what a company is doing. What do you do? You poke fun at it. What is it that people want? Do you want to complain for the sake of it? Or do you actually want people to do something to make those who aren't in the know aware of the shady stuff that's happening and to sound the alarm?

It's the "oh well" setting in on digital users. They don't care they don't own their stuff for some odd reason. 🤷🏽.

Good for you! People sometimes just feel the need to show how little they actually have to say. Very respectful dressing down, btw, which is another thing we need more of.

I appreciate your article,
- "If this isn’t considered both a “WTF” moment and setting a dangerous precedent, I don’t know what else it would be"
- "it could also signal other publishers that removing games from our accounts would be okay"
- "Maybe those firmly against this digital future have a point after all"
- "This. Is. Fucked. Up."

As someone against an only-digital/streaming future for entertainment content (movies/TV shows/games/books), it feels like talking into a void about the points above on this website, or on Twitter, or with my friends, etc. People don't get it. I'm strongly contemplating whether this will be my last generation of PlayStation & Xbox consoles (I'm confident enough that Nintendo's next system will still support physical media and that their 1st-party games won't have online-required installation or usage restrictions).

He is one of the long running trolls of this site, he never says anything positive. Every single one of his posts are either incorrect or flat out stupid. Pay him no mind.

OtterX29d ago

Thank you @shadowhaxor, we appreciate you.

Yet people will sit here and still say that digital is better 🙃

Welcome to the era where you no longer own your games.

gvrd001929d ago (Edited 29d ago )

I'm so done with Ubisoft, removing games one paid for is a new low...
Bye Ubisoft,
You've done f#c*ed it up !

Chocoburger29d ago

This was me 9 years ago, when I realized all they wanted to make were filler boring games that are packed with micro-trash-actions.

Snooze! Moving on from Ubi-junk!

vTuro2429d ago

I see they're trying their best to surpass Activision Blizzard for being the most hated gaming company. Keep at it, Ubisoft, I believe!
