The Crew

thanks mate...

im using a xbox360 controller, can the accelerator, brake, steering be all remapped to say the left thump stick?

I've not tested but it should work. You can't bind the sane button to more than one thing, but otherwise you're free to do pretty much anything.

Is anyone else' audio really quiet on the game?

General audio level is fine, but the engine sounds are too quiet for me.
 
How is the game playing? Held off buying this after all the stuff that's been going on with Ubisoft

Also, where's the cheapest for this?

I need my racing fix!

It's running at a solid 60 FPS for me @4K, the developers have done a good job with this one. I was reluctant to buy it after ACU and FC4. I waited until after launch and picked it up from SimplyCDKeys for around £25.

There are a few minor glitches but nothing game breaking. I don't regret buying it :)

+1 , this game is by far the least buggy and most optimised release on ubisoft so Callender , pretty sure if they'd had this in a playable state and released sooner , there sales of even the bugged messes would be fair higher if released after the crew.

Constant 60fps @ 2560 x 1080

Bugs include

Joining a crew and not having the network sync you all quick enough forcing you to wait 5 mins for your buddy's to appear or forcing you to join a race to force the connection

Random disconnections to the main menu , but i believe this is down to sever stability not the game itself .

Driving inside the cockpit produces a random screenshake with tearing m thought it was due to my 21:9 aspect ratio but others seem to suffer this as well

Physics do become pretty laughable during big crashes and the police are in little starship enterprises the way they can catchup and go round corners .

Plenty of jaggies even with 8xmsaa or txaa x4 but hardly a bug just more a limitation

Now and again when on own or with crew , the loading screen for races stay constant in cycle ... Forcing you to restart the game.

Had one major crash , where it forced all sounds really slowly and techno , this was also in the beta but happend far more frequent, only had it once in around 28Hrs gameplay




It's a good looking game when caught in the right scenery and lighting but make no mistake this was a launch tittle for current gen . pushed back .

I actually payed full price £40 offer at Ubi store ( NO Fing Steam ! ) and actually don't regret a penny ... Even if this game received not one more patch which I hope it does . It's the best of the bag product science GTA singleplayer for me

I got mine from cjs keys for 24, if you like arcade racers(I mean that as a positive comment) then this is a lot of fun and huge world

You also have the option to change the control type, I believe there are 3 options (Assisted, Sport, Advanced) I stuck it on sport and found it a joy to throw round corners and opposite locking drifts felt good.

hardcore here and it still feels very "meh" and very random too..

on that note, who wants to "form a crew" ?
 
Servers down until 7pm UK time. Did plan to play before I hit the gym but no :(

Was about to boot it up FFS!

Have they fixed issues with joining each others crews yet? Myself and 3 buddies were on last night but only two of us could be in an crew at the same time, always one or two others not being able to join the crew.
 
That special Porsche thing is crazy. On hardcore those things are super tail happy, just hitting a bump wrong on the straights soon as you going round. :eek:

On hardcore with the wheel I've not found the handling that bad in general. It's 'simcade' for sure, but offers up a fairly believable driving experience and the FF is good, though I'm not getting any vibration even though It's on max? I've seen some reviews says it doesn't feel quite right though, so not sure if it feels less direct if you use a pad maybe.

I'm up for joining a crew/co-op play if there's anything happening anytime. DarkBahamut15 is my Uplay.

yeah that ruf was a handful! :) managed to nail the first place on the 2nd try but jebus.. that was a sweaty palm moment.. a single movement of the wheel at 195+ and it was swinging like crazy..

my uplay is 'edstance' if anyone wants to add me and start "the crew" ;)
 
Hooked up with a couple of friends last night and had a great 2 hours blasting around the countryside - doing missions and generally exploring. After 2 hours we looked at the map and we had so much more todo. May try going to the west coast tonight. The game is just amazing - continue to be amazed at small touches, the trains finding iconic locations the lot - just a great job.
 
Not a bad game so far got to play for 2 hours and drove from top to bottom so I could get used to how the cars handle.
The graphics ain't to bad not amazing but ok apart from the water which I think looks like someone has poured mercury over the map :0
