The Crew: New Wild Run expansion trailer showcases graphical overhaul

Team VVV writes: "The comparisons reveal that The Crew will feature wet weather effects for the first time as we get to see a very wet scene with rain coming down, water droplets filling the screen, water tricking down the sides of the rocks and roads are strewn with shallow puddles, it all looks pretty impressive I have to say."

This may be a good time to jump into The Crew now but with games like Need for Speed and Forza 6 coming out this year as well it seems I will be waiting more as well.

StrayaKNT3183d ago

I agree i really cant wait for need for speed and forza.

But this looks really interesting.

Is the whole game getting a graphical overhaul or is it just the dlc pack?

Whirlwind_Fanfare_083183d ago

The game is getting a complete graphic overhaul,
and will be free. The wild run expansion you have to pay for!

ChronoJoe3183d ago

Why does this video compare wet to dry whether? Doesn't make sense.

SuperStatePro3183d ago

Wait... The crew didn't have weather effects ALREADY? In an open world game where you drive across the US?? K...

Whirlwind_Fanfare_083183d ago

They had weather, but only up north in the mountain states, but not dynamic! however, now just like need for speed is using physically based rendering(PBR), this game also will be using physically based rendering capabilities, which given them the ability to now have weather everywhere in the game now, thunderstorms, lightning, snow also been confirmed.

My son broke my copy of The Crew a couple of days ago (2yr old + dirty hands = impossible to clean it enough for it to be read) so I might have to pick up the complete edition when this comes out. I'm loving the graphical overhaul!

Skate-AK3183d ago

Bought The Crew on sale a couple months ago but with my back log as big as it is, I have no problem waiting until Novemver to start playing it again.

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.

OtterX10d 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.

gvrd001910d ago (Edited 10d 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 !

Chocoburger10d 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!

vTuro2410d 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!
