Ubisoft working on new racing IP 'The Crew' – Report

The Crew? Is it a pit crew simulator?

They should do a Driver: The Party Game

Car Capture the flag, Pizza taxi, Car Soccer, Cops and Robbers, Closed track and open checkpoint races, Demolition derby... And make the gameplay cool like the first couple of Drivers and none of the Shift-Boost blabla gimmicks. It should feel like you're in a 90's city driving a 60's car with absurd objectives.

The name made it sound like an RPG. It would be so cool to have a racing game which actually had meaningful characters and character interactions. :)

I'm sure there is one or two games like that somewhere, (possibly Japanese) but haven't read about any in the mainstream press for a while.

I can predict that by the end of next gen, we will have The Crew 6.

Give us Test Drive Unlimited 3 please :D

I still want a new Rallisport Challenge.

i want driver 7 ! ugh

racing simulator is a tough competition, but if EA can take a bite of the cake with something awful like Shift, maybe The Crew could get a chance. 

i hope Ubisoft won't forget about Driver, San Francisco is so awesome.

i want roadrash

Me want PC version...

In stead of car based games, we need motorcycle racing games...just saying...

Taking on Forza and GT? Good luck with that, and DriveClub doesn't look like a slouch either. They better aim their sights at NFS, hell Codemasters games are decent too, they've got some stiff competition. 

Mmmmm.. could be...

Racing games=Utter Boredom.

If they are trying to position against Forza and GT then they had better bring something brilliant to the table.

If this turns out to be an average arcade racing rip off.. then I am out of it. Who needs more Ridge Racer wannabes ??? 

I would've thought Ubisoft Reflections would've been developing it, maybe they're making a new open world Driver allowing you to get out of your car. That would be awesome

I was hoping they were making a true successor to the first test drive unlimited.

DARN IT!

For PC users, dont forget Project Cars is coming, latest build is awesome !

Not that I doubt Ubisoft, but to compete against the likes of Forza and Gran Turismo, you'll need a better name than "The Crew". Especially if it's a sim racing game. The Crew sounds like some cheap Street Racing Syndicate or Fast & Furious knock-off. Hopefully it's awesome! We could always use some more great racing games (that aren't Codemasters). Haha

I would like something different or unique this "Me 2" s*** is pissing me off

Too bad they don't continue the Driver series.  San Francisco was pretty fun and it's different from typical racers like Forza and Gran Torismo.

Based on their latest decisions, I assume it's "Assassin's Creed V"..

still happy for a solid racing game

Great news.  Arrogant Kaz and it's crew need more competition.

This image was clearly redered on ray tracing, this is not a game engine render. 

there will something else within the game other than racing

same as driver san fran....

targeting Xbox One and PlayStation 4...to hell with it then.

Too many racing games.

brb hibernation.

By the time GT7 arrives on the PS4, all three next-gen launch or 2014 racers (NFS, Forza, Ubisoft's version) will be outdated. So I don't really see anything positioned against it. That said, I highly doubt Ubisoft's version will be a simulation, most likely an arcade racer like NFS - this quote gives it away, 'staff with previous game credits spanning Need for Speed, V-Rally, and the Test Drive Unlimited series.' Let us leave simulation racers to the experts: Polyphony Digital and Codemasters.

I lost faith in Ubi after AC3 but regained faith after far cry3. Who knows, if done right it could be good...

Everyone is making a racer nowadays it seems. 

If the industry isn't careful racers are going to go the way of the flight sim.

I dont like ubisoft that much, they made a mockery of my favorite game series, Heroes of Might and Magic. but they are making good effort at making multiple new IP so lets see how it goes.

My racer of choice is Carmageddon

Ubisoft and racing? Ill give them a chance.

Sounds ambitious. 

Again no PC?
