[meptrep]

I'm trying to remember if I even signed up for the beta or not...

Looking forward to it either way, the E3 trailer was pretty neat and made me a bit more interested in playing it.

 

[Jimmyfenix]

I actually forgot about this Beta 0.o

Hope i get in.

 

[drotahorror]

Crazy time for beta's recently. Evolve beta is coming really soon as well I think.

 

[Bsigg12]

Really curious about this after all the E3 praise.

Crazy time for beta's recently. Evolve beta is coming really soon as well I think.

The Evolve PC alpha should be coming up soon. From what we know, the beta is Xbox One exclusive, though it could be a PC/XB1 beta.

Spoiler

15000 turbobucks to unlock the cars

I'll try to get into the beta though, the game sounds alright outside of that dealbreaker. And the other dealbreaker. Hopefully the data and feedback they get out of this will alleviate at least one of them.

 

[drotahorror]

And the other dealbreaker.

The other other dealbreaker. It's always online.

That's what killed NFS Rivals for me. Of as I'd like to call it NFS Host Migration...

 

[Denton]

Will there be any stupid NDAs or can we look forward to many videos,screenshots and impressions?

I have great hope for The Crew, especially since it has HUDless mode and cockpit view.

 

[Hip Hop]

Holly shit.

My most anticipated game of the year (probably neck to neck with Forza Horizon 2).

I loved Test Drive Unlimited 2 last generation and they were the creators of that base. I'm sure it will not disappoint.

Hope I get in.

I don't see anything wrong with this, their games have for the most part revolved around online and The Crew actually has a reason for it to be that way. It's a huge world.

 

[JetSetRadio]

I'd be really excited reading the OP if I didn't know this is a ubi title.
I can't imagine the horrific driving controls, even for an arcade game. And it will be even worse.

 

[hentaicook]

This game should be renamed to:

The group of people who do an ambiguous activity.

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Umm is there anyway to check if you registered for the beta...?

It's made by the TDU guys so it's not like Ubisoft's main teams are behind the wheel so to speak.

dont understand .....

 

[drotahorror]

dont understand .....

I'm confused by that as well.

 

[Corpekata]

Fairly certain that's what the Beta is limited too, maybe as far as activities? Because googling the map shows there are five regions total and each region has multiple cities. So it might just be that say, New York and Miami are active but Seattle will not feature any missions in the Beta.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

The other other dealbreaker. It's always online.
http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/the_c...enever_you_lose_your_internet_connection.html

It has a very rich social backbone.

It's awesome, trust me.

 

[SapientWolf]

The other other dealbreaker. It's always online.
http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/the_c...enever_you_lose_your_internet_connection.html

I heard this would be locked to 30fps awhile back. Not even worth trying for free if that's the case.

 

[Bsigg12]

dont understand .....

So they have the US sort of stylized by region and each region has cities. Currently, only 5 major cities will be in it.

 

[RaceManIak]

Cool, I was waiting for this beta version before ordering the game.

 

[Chance Hale]

Ugh, why start it on a Monday and not over the weekend.

 

[BY2K]

I can't remember if I signed up, but pretty sure I did.

 

[The Cowboy]

Dammit UbiSoft, they're messing with people who registered for the beta. Got an email stating "THE CREW - Get ready for our PC Closed Beta!" and though "yay!, I'm in ", I read the top of the image and it states this.

Then you read the rest of the image and it states this.

 

[dragn]

i got my key just now

 

[TheTrain]

i got my key just now

Me too but uPlay says "invalid CD Key or activation code". Maybe they activate them the 21st?

 

[dragn]

yea mine doesnt work too

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Huh I got a key too, looks like I got lucky for once

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Is this something you can still sign up for? This is probably the only racing game I'm interested in this year.

 

[CrackaF3tt]

Im really interested in see this in action. Having to drive for an hour or so for a race sounds awesome. Next week is gonna be great. Hopefully this beta plus Dark Souls 2 DLC maybe the level cap raises for Destiny Beta. I know theres others that I can't remember right now.

 

[Wonko_C]

The other other dealbreaker. It's always online.
http://www.videogamer.com/ps4/the_c...enever_you_lose_your_internet_connection.html

It's an MMO. Always online comes with the territory.

 

[Gowans]

Got my email

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Okay my code doesn't work either so it really seems like they aren't unlocked yet.

 

[Blackage]

Aw yeah, weekday betas when we're all workin, awesome Ubisoft!

 

[L.O.R.D]

i signed up for the beta month ago ( in E3 )
never got any message from them
i tried several accounts,non of my friend got anything

 

[fras]

Awesome, hopefully I got in. I signed up a few days after E3 IIRC and never heard anything back. I also hope I'm in the Evolve alpha, that game looks like a ton of un.

 

[Soren01]

Where do I register to receive a key?

PS4

 

[Caveman]

Where do I register to receive a key?

PS4

I think it's PC only

 

[Tunesmith]

You can still register for it if you haven't at http://thecrew-game.ubi.com/portal/en-GB/beta/index.aspx

 

[doniewhalberg]

Got an invite, nice. I signed up literally when he mentioned it during the E3 conference so I couldn't really have done much more haha

 

[Hip Hop]

wtf,

how did I not get in?

 

[L.O.R.D]

Got an invite, nice. I signed up literally when he mentioned it during the E3 conference so I couldn't really have done much more haha

me too,but i haven't got any email from them

I got an invite. I'm quite hyped for this one.

What's wrong with it will be known come launch.

TDU, TDU2, Horizon, Horizon 2, Burnout Paradise, FUEL, and NFS Rivals make me wonder if it's really necessary. What does being always online allow them to do that these games don't?

 

[doniewhalberg]

me too,but i haven't got any email from them

I got it about 8:15pm, in the UK dude. Check your spam and sutff, I get stuff filed in there for betas etc all the time!

 

[Enco]

Woop!

Got an invite. Hopefully this works unlike the Destiny beta.

 

[Uiki]

i signed up for the beta month ago ( in E3 )

Same here.

 

[brotkasten]

I got a key but can't activate it yet. I hope it works.

 

[drotahorror]

Still no key. I see they're supposed to give them out every day so maybe I'll get lucky.
