Words are overrated. We were going to pen a big lengthy article on The Crew’s most recent PlayStation 4 beta, but that takes time to both write and read. Instead, we figured that we’d show you how we’re getting on with Ubisoft’s latest racer. As you can see, things are going just great.

Been getting that error on a few games lately
I connected the day after I got my code... But the handling was pretty horrid... I read about changing the settings on another site to where it would control like forza.... But haven't tried it yet.. The default settings have left me a bit frustrated and underwhelmed.. Or perhaps Mario Kart 8 physics are starting to affect my ability to play racing games with real cars ? Lol
I downloaded the Beta early Thursday (in the UK) and was able to play the prologue and drive from Detroit to LAX which was a 40 minute drive via Chicago and Vegas. That map is big.
Weirdly though, for a driving game, they seem to have opted to use the handling from GTA IV. Not Ridge Racer (Arcade heaven) or Forza but GTA IV not V, too realistic IV really nails what we are looking for. The cars have no weight, feel floaty.
Thankfully after marveling at the map and the drive across the USA the game alleviated my growing boredom by, as accurately portrayed in the video, refusing to load as others joined in. Then over the weekend whilst playing Alien and Lords of the Fallen I actually forgot I had Beta access until just now.....
In a slow month in 2015 when the price is sub £15 on Amazon new. Maybe.
Ha ha, you ain't missing much, I got that error once or twice before I got in. I played up to and finished one race. Terrible game, just seems like UniSoft thought, make it big and open and the money will roll in.
Played the beta on pc a few weeks back. I was moderately impressed with how my pc ran it (500$ custom build that gets a 150-200$ renovation every 2-3years) but pretty uninspired by the actual game. As with ubi games it felt convoluted and not particularly interesting, ui was a sloppy mess, the driving felt ok for an arcade racer, very similar to your horizon 2 or rivals handling. Enough for me to say no thanks to trying it out on ps4.
To be honest, this game flew right under my radar. And from what I keep hearing about the beta, it can get back off. Let us hope Project Cars turns out well, or the only good day at the races is when we listen to Queen. Keys aren't turning for next gen racing.
I wanna know what the heck is going on at Ubisoft. They're a great team but they've been missing marks badly as of late. First Rayman, then Watch Dogs, now Unity, and this. Yeesh, pants go on your legs, not your face.
Lol
I was playing the beta and quite enjoying it, though after about an hour I got to the menu area, the voice-over told me about how to upgrade my car blah blah, but then I couldn't work out how to continue in the damn game so I turned it off! Don't know if that was either me being stupid, bad game design or a glitch...?
To be honest I was really hyped for this game. Now I have played the BETA I am no longer interested. Awful handling, graphics aren't that amazing, just a big let down.
@Dodoo I had that, from the car upgrade part, press circle and it says it is taking you back to the open world. However I had to wait 30 Minutes as it said it was installing!
I've to say that I lost all my faith in Ubisoft, Im curious to hear your impressions but my impressions from the Beta on PC back then and also from watching guys stream the PS4 beta on twitch is, that it is a bland, generic game with bad physics and really bad destruction engine. But that's just me! Wish it was better!
@Mrskinner Oh ok thanks. I'll remember that if i pick this up from the bargain bin one day!
It sucks. Hurry up and fix Driveclub Sony!
Sigh Looks like a decent racing game just isn't destined for PS4 just yet
Fingers crossed for Project Cars and F1 2015...though I won't hold my breath.
I only read bad stuff about this game... if you check on reddit you ll see almost 95% of the tester are blaming it.... it s an annus horribilis for Ubi, it seems they cannot deliver properly anymore.... I wonder if after this poor feedback they delay the game again
please watch the language -Tasuki-
@Mrskinner Exactly! Handling is god-awful, graphics are crap! I pre-ordered it on the PSN (where there are no refunds), so I'm hoping I can switch it to The Order:1886 or pretty much ANYTHING ELSE!
What a shame it could have been great.
It's very ambitious, I give it that but some many technical problems, and terrible handling ruins it. And don't get me started on travelling to one mission took e 20 minutes to get to.
Superb
Yup put up the delayed post now and go back to work on it. We can try it again on Beta 2
