The Crew Motorfest - The third Crew

Set it on Mars. I want to race to Olympus Mons.

I’m confused. Are you talking about TDU? People are definitely talking about that franchise in contrasting it with The Crew, but it looks like you’re responding to a post about The Crew. Are you saying there are rumors about The Crew 3 that it will be a smaller area, like TDU? Or are you talking about rumors about a new TDU game?

The rumor is that the next The Crew game, (The Crew 3) will be called The Crew Motorsport and it will be set in Oahu - a return to the Oahu setting for the TDU2 dev team which became the studio behind The Crew series.

Apparently, they started on this during the pandemic as a DLC for The Crew 2, but it expanded until the decision was made to turn it into the next The Crew, or so the rumor goes.

A “smaller” area is relative of course. The continental US in the first two The Crew games is ridiculously compressed, while the Oahu in TDU2 was quite expansive.

Added the announcement video to the OP.

A few more details here, but not many.

I’m surprised it’s also coming for last-gen consoles as well. Xbox One and PS4, as well as the new ones.

Well, looks like the leak was 100% correct.

This reminds me I need to get back to TDU2.

Is gambling legal in Hawaii? I remember spending just as much time in the casino grinding for cash to buy better cars than I do actually racing.

Heh got me, I’m still relatively new to the game.

“The entire island will be open to explore - giving players access to the likes of volcano slopes, steep mountain roads, rainforest, and sunny beaches.”

It’s littoraly Forza Horizon 5.

“Volcano slopes”?

If they wanted to do Hawaii and actually have a bunch of different terrain to explore, the Big Island would have been a much better choice.

Not enough city roads for racing on the Big Island. Really, just not enough paved roads period.

Sure, but if they’re making up volcanoes on Oahu, they could make up some roads on the Big Island.

As long as they’re making stuff up, be cool if they included ALL the islands, with bridges between them, and put dinosaurs on Kauai.

I like the sound of that. Handling that’s more like Forza Motorsport. Improved feel and details when you’re driving in cockpit view. And a game structure that’s closer to Forza Horizon, with a festival and events and all that.

Gone Gold. Sept 14th release.

I’m disappointed they went with a festival approach. I guess it’s the logical progression from The Crew 2, but I didn’t like the Xtreme Influencers!!1! theme of that game either. The plot of the original Crew was pretty silly, but I liked the outlaw racing for justice theme a lot more.

Basically, the Forza Horizon games already exist. Do something unique instead of imitating them!

These are the same folks who did Driver: San Francisco right? I might get it just because of that.
