  • Last weekend I got to experience the closed beta of the upcoming The Crew Motorfest. I've summed up all my thoughts on the game and why I ultimately think it isn't worth your money.

    Things I forgot to mention, or didn't mention because there wasn't much to talk about:
    - I liked the car list, however it felt a bit bloated with many duplicates (for example having 4 copies of an RX-7 for Drift, Drag, etc.)
    - Customization was decent, could have been better if they separated lights and splitters into different categories. Wheel selection is still terrible
    - Still not a huge fan of the upgrading system, but it's far more tolerable than in Payback for example
    - Engine sounds are actually fantastic, ingame radio had a nice song selection as well
    - The addition of fine tuning is great, but misses some options (gear ratios were missing as far as I know)

      Don't forget the Legends point system which are time gated in TCM!
      These points can increase your nitrous power, refill speed, how much XP you earn, how much cash you earn, how fast you can travel through water, increasing your Treasure Frequency and loot quality, you drafting power, your maximum drafting distance, your speed when you get drafted, the distance whern this effect triggers, your tire wear in Pro Racing events, how fast you get your speed multiplier in drift events, how high the multiplier can get and how much extra speed you gain when you shift up in drag race events!
      There are also a few minor once which I didn't list here!
      You can only earn them Via the main stage by ranking up your timeline (Revisit Playlists, Compete against other Players and Explore the Island which is basically playing skill tests around the Island) or by competing in the Summit!
      There's no way to earn them by playing through the game naturally like it was in the crew 2 and for me it's a Jupiter sized dealbreaker!

    Honestly the only thing that keeps bugging me is how Motorfest just feels more like a DLC than its own game. It was the combination of a smaller map (yet it looks well detailed) and the whole import your TC2 collection into the game. And what worries me more is how much content can even fit in Motorfest without it immediately getting repetitive or have races just going the same way or feel the same. I havent played the Beta myself I only know some stuff from reddit and youtube posts. There were some cool additions but I'm really worried on the longetivity of motorfest because I think TC2 crammed a lot of events in because of the huge map (albeit it was mostly empty at launch). So im still cautious when it comes to this game.

    I had a lot of fun playing this game and I think it nailed some aspects really well like sound design and music selection, I enjoyed the playlists (some felt a bit grindy but not much), and the driving was actually kind of engaging instead of feeling like the car was driving itself. However, I STILL think the engines Ubisoft use are just not right for racing games, as we've seen with the janky driving phyisics, the weird screen-space reflections on the cars, and the performance issues.
    Another thing that really bugged me is that yesterday when I finished all the playlists, I found literally nothing to do (other than replaying them with the challenge things which I'm not even gonna bother doing tbh), I thought I would get like to use my cars in actual normal races but... there was nothing..? Like, what is the point of owning and upgrading the cars?!?! The entire thing felt like it was a really long intro to the game so I was expecting to be let free and do my own races and stuff at some point, but instead it was the battle pass thing. I assumed this was because of it being just a beta and them adding more content on launch, or at least more playlists or something.
    Yet another thing I didn't understand was their attempt at making the world feel more alive with the Drivatar things driving around which on multiple ocations scared the shit out of me and made me crash into traffic (and other players) because I would mistake them with those.
    I really want this game to succeed, after the massive failure TC2 was (at least to me), and because I think it felt unique enough, and competition really needs to be a thing in the racing game industry. I'll probably buy it but only on sale and if they actually add things to do.
    Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

    I downloaded the Trial, imported my Crew 2 cars, here's my thoughts:
    "Take away all combat, characters, humor and intelligence of GTA V, then build an arcade racer around the driving mechanics. Now remove all the life in the world, replace it with a combination of basic traffic and erratic ghost racers."
    Game feels like a demonstration for an unfinished project. Feels like being somewhere that's decorated for a party that hasn't started yet, you're there waiting with a couple other people.
    So many world assets imported from Crew 2, lame stock photo signage, like this is 2006? Not paying $70 for a dev to slap stock images around the world and generic Hawaiian phrases and call it AAA.
    Where does this idea come from that the quality has to be lower so it will run on PS4? Have you not played RDR2 or GT7 or any top 10 PS4 game? Only lazy devs make the "last gen" excuse.
    I predict TCM will be under $30 by Christmas '23. Should be a F2P game considering the quantity of microtransactions. Go play Genshin Impact for free then explain why this is worth $70. Doom 2016 is $5 right now, you could get so much quality game time for $70, don't reward Ubisoft Ivory Tower.

    A lot of the issues at least in terms of the technological side is because they are releasing this game on old gen systems as it was originally suppose to be a expansion for The Crew 2 which is why it reuses a lot of assets. There's a reason why you can import your entire vehicle collection and liveries from TC2 and why the map is way smaller than it should be. The devs just decided to make it a standalone game (this isn't the first time ubisoft has done this) and ontop of that, the game has crossplay, which is good, but I'm almost certain the PC version has limitations due to that to prevent cheating/giving a advantage against old gen players. And while crossplay is a plus, it's only for grand races/the battle royal. You can't be in free roam with other cross play players which means you can't play through story missions with friends on other consoles. The Free roam session player count is also still really small with a 8 player limit. They aren't really treating this like a proper next gen sequel when they really should be.
    On the subject of FOMO, the summit reward cars from TC2 can't even be bought in Motorfest despite them being in the shop. All you get is that "A exclusive vehicle from The Crew 2" and that's it. I'd imagine it's going to be similar with any summit cars you miss in this game.
    I'm still getting the game on launch. I had a lot of fun with it. But I can't deny that it's an obvious cash grab since TC2 is really starting to show its age at this point so they are selling a expansion for full price when it's probably going to take months to a year, if not longer, to get a substantial amount of content that will make it feel like a proper sequel. If the whole fear of missing out thing doesn't bother you, you'd probably be better off waiting a few weeks to a month for the game to go on sale before you buy it. Games generally don't take long to go on sale these days.

    I really hope people watch this through instead of pausing the first second based off the title and making a conclusion. I enjoyed the game a good bit and this is a great, balanced review. I agree with all of the positives here and most of the negatives. I personally like the competition of the Summit, I always have, but the car requirement is ridiculous. As for the playlists, I wouldn't have noticed or been bothered by the lack of freedom but as it does bother you, it is worth mentioning.
    The best part of this review to me is pointing out all of the things we tolerate in AAA racing games right now. Even though I enjoy most of them, there are annoyances in the back of my head that while they aren't dealbreakers, they are big headscratchers.
    Like you thought to yourself about "Why are others copying this dialogue, no one likes this" I tend to think to myself "Why can't we get rain effects that look as good as DRIVECLUB from nearly a decade ago?" Game development is complex. But from a consumer point of view, the issues like density in traffic, graphical effects, no working mirrors etc make no sense in a product right now. When you showed that clip of TC1 with the original graphics instantly my mind went "that looked better". As a visual junkie, it just doesn't make sense to me. I was about say "but Motorfest is cross-gen" but with that Crew 1 example, there is no excuse.
    Even though I enjoy Motorfest and will end up getting it (don't know when but I will) the game did have many head-scratching moments with me as well. I'd love to know why this happens with some of these games - are the visual artists just not as talented and the good ones went into other industries? Are the people working here feel like they "have" to make a festival racer and therefore feel less passionate versus a "new" project like The Crew 1? I don't know, and surely barely anyone here has any idea.

    I played the beta, for around 17 hours and loved it, to be honest, even the playlists. True you can not use your own cars, but it did not bother me at all to be fair, i enjoyed the variety of cars i had to use in those races and I also do not mind restarting them for the full games, I love the map in general and the fact that it is smaller is also good. I did not notice the missing people at all😂, same for the animals, but true they could and should add them into the game to make it more alive. For the multiplier, I only tried the Race and I loved it, was so fun and chaotic, first time in a while that I enjoyed multiplayer in a Racing game. Overall for someone that always wanted to try a Horizon game, this is the closest we get too and for someone that spent over 350 hours on The crew 2, motorfest is a massiv improvement, driving feels more fun and less weird, the map kinda feels more alive to me with all those plants (as I said, I hope they gone add people and animals, to make it better) . Even the Summit I do not mind, just sad that u have to be the top 10k for it.
    I might get the game on release as I did not buy a game day one since GT7 and I want a new racing game to play for a while, hopefully years😂

    I hope that one of these games will allow you to move the engine layout. There used to be a game about street racing that would allow you to move the engine to the front or the middle of the car and swap engines too. I wish I could remember the name of that game but they really made it realistic. I’d you wanted to swap a v8 into your miata you could but because there is a much space for it they wouldn’t allow make as much power as the same v8 in a bigger car because there wasn’t enough space for bigger turbos. On top of that you could add carbon fiber body panels and also if you painted the panels it would add weight. If anyone remembers this game please tell me. It might have been asetto corso or something like that.

    When it was called Motorfest, i was hoping they were hinting that it was going to be like a spiritual successor to MOTORSTORM.
    No such luck. They dont celebrate teh crashes as they should, the festival feels trash, and continues the tradition of the 70 dollar curse.
    Notice every single game that's come out at 70 has been worse than games coming out at 60 base price. Even Armored Core is SLAUGHTERING right now as a decent game at 60 that knows it's a fun game above all else.
    70 USD is proven to be a bad sign for all games if we go by statistics.
    And yes we need more arcade racers, cuz frankly we need more like MOTORSTORM back.
    There is none higher still, and we haven't had one of those new nor re mastered since the PS3/ xbox 360 age.
    Game developing and publishing both have become purely disgusting at large. And its in an age where certain facts cant be kept quiet either. Unlike the first Nintendo Age where OCEAN made an incomplete RoboCop game and hid the fact by making a level that couldn't be completed in time, aside from the fact they missed a glitch in the design that let you beat it faster, and then it showed the next level was incomplete.
    And when are we also going to start holding game companies legally liable when they dont complete a road map properly or change what they promise when something like Overwatch 2 suddenly bait and switches it's promise for a complete campaign ? But I could go on.
    I'll just say we really need MotorStorm back and end it here.

    Regarding FOMO: they could always use Summits to force people to spend money on cars, but they've never done that. Worst thing they done was make an exclusive Eclipse that was buyable with crew credits only, but they eventually reconsidered and made it available to buy for regular in-game currency. Judging by the fact that the Crew 2 monetization got progressively better with time, plus they're allowing you to import basically everything to MF, I don't think they'd ever do such a stupid thing as making Summit events restricted to paid cars. And, BTW, in Crew 2 the Platinum reward was initially given to top 3000 players, now it's top 4000, and in MF it's 10000, so things get progressively better on this front as well.

      I don't mind the competitive format of the Live Summit too much, but the scoring should be balanced and made so that everyone can have a chance to reach the top. Sure, having an upgraded car and better affixes that boost your score give you a better chance, but I would argue that even just pure stock cars should be able to earn enough points to challenge the top. At the very least, with all the platforms being combined into the leaderboard for the summit, the cutoff for the highest tiers should be increased.
      Like, seeing the much more strict cutoff in The Crew 2 gave me chills. I'm on the PS, so I have to reach at least top 11K for Platinum, but the poor blokes on Xbox are pretty much tearing each others' throats with that super strict top 2.1K cutoff for Platinum Tier.

      @@burnoutknight5326no, it shouldn’t be a level playing field. It’s the endgame. It needs to reward those that put in the effort more than others. Giving a reason for you to bother going after perfect nitro chemist parts for your corvette C7 drag car.

    I won't buy it because it requires a Playstation Plus subscription in order to play the game. I don't usually play online games anyways so I couldn't even play the game if I bought it.
