You might need your eyes checked then, because it doesn't take 10 FPS to tell that being online-only means it can only ever start off on the back foot.
What I'm learning from this video is not so much that some people are incapable of their favourite wannabe-AAA developer getting any sort of criticism (I've known that since The V-Rally 4 Incident), but that they could really stand to learn how to take a fucking joke. That, or they find Bigtyme too relatable, in which case this video just evolved into a handy acid test. Do keep all the dislikes and "but how can you tell a game is good if you haven't played it at 60 FPS, huh?!? I don't care that that's a pipe dream for everything but the beefiest Gamer Stations(tm)" comments coming. All you're doing is feeding my Engagement.
for what it's worth, at least I appreciate you kept the likes & dislikes active, unlike whatever these guys at Nacon/KT we're trying to pull out next as we speaking
I've been saying it for years, that this game is gonna flop the moment when they're delaying this game for like 2 times now, but none of my gaming friends actually listened to me And they literally made a grave mistake of deciding it to be an always online slop in the light of The Crew 1 is getting the servers going offline for good, like I seriously couldn't trust a company of their caliber could maintain the servers for a very long time, let alone this "offline patch" they're promised by the time they're done with this game (th are they, Polyphony Digital?)
I concur. The game is absolute trash ! The acceleration and gear change physics are terrible... The graphics are aids on my 4k HDR monitor with RTX 4090...
It's not even that. The game being unoptimized at this point is one thing - non-final version and all that. That's fair enough. Physics being some amount of weird is something you can get used to if you really want. It's funny in a bad way that cars occasionally behave as if they've been hit with the boopy gun, but it's also not really a worthwhile feature. It's more so the part where it's always online, and on top of that doesn't have beefy enough servers, meaning you have to wait (sometimes an hour or more) just to get to the main menu. Even if the base game itself was perfect, someone's made the executive decisions to make it always-online. That they've seemingly also decided to steal models from TDU2 on top of all this is just comedic genius to me.
As someone who's spent way too much of the past few years deep diving french-developed video games, it's not so much that I'd say they typically make "stupid and retarded" decisions - they do, however, make weird ones. Ones that either somehow make a game far more of a banger than it has any right to, or leave you questioning what sort of euphorics were making their way around the office. TDU1 being a full-size Oahu is one of the former "weird" decisions. TDU2 woman physics are of the latter. Branching out of racing games (and teasing the next vad) for a second, there's the character switching in Asterix XXL 2 (good weird) only for Olympic Games to include that feature, but really only make use of it in one section (bad weird). In a way, Solar Crown feels poor to me in part because it doesn't feel french enough. The base game is too safe, with all the usual AAA failings on top. Online-only, multiple premium editions.. Then again, this is KT "Minimum Effort, Maximum Nostalgia Bait" Racing we're talking about, so I'm not entirely sure why I'm acting surprised.
The Crew 1 is 10 years old and as an average game it's still 100 times better than this, people defending it are just coping because they've been waiting 15 years for the game to drop
crew 1 was so fun when it was active then they made an update to improve the graphics aswell. way better than crew 2 i think its one of the last open world racers to have cops apart from nfs
and just when you thought these guys cannot be any clinically insane, they're also ironically introduced the always online bs few months before the crew 1 servers goes offline for good they're surely giving EA a run for their madness when even these guys snapped out of always online nonsense from Payback onwards (for the time being at least)
“An absolute state” about a FREE DEMO.
I could send you my excrement in a zipped container and call it a "free sample". That doesn't make it not a bag of shit.
Free Demo is just to give you a taste of the crap to come. It will be the exact same game with the word "released".
well, with 10 FPS i wouldnt be able to tell if a game is good or not

Test drive unlimited isn't a new franchise, TDU 2 is my favorite racing game of all time
