What I can tell you, though, is that The Crew feels like a fairly typical Ubisoft Reflections game. Though development is being led by Ivory Tower (formed by previous members of the Test Drive Unlimited team), there are clear influences from co-developer Reflections' previous work, from the way The Crew looks, right down to the way it handles.The engine feels like a next-gen extension of Driver: San Francisco, spruced up with superior lighting and stupidly-shiny car models, but with a similar sense of flui.. <br /><br /><i>News sourced from: <a href="http://www.videogamer.com" class="external" target="_blank" class="external" target="_blank">VideoGamer.com</a></i><br /> 2013-06-19T09:10:00+00:00 http://www.simracingworld.com/news/aggregate/external/2664498-the-crew-ubisofts-online-racer-outshines-sony-and-microsoft-offerings/rss/ Deep customisation, persistent online world.

Here&#8217;s what we know via an alleged playtester of the game: - The Crew is expected to play similar to Ubisoft Reflections most recent racer Driver: San Francisco, with a semi-arcade style of racing. - As with Driver: San Francisco, The Crew will be open world with the ability to travel between New York City and Los Angeles, though the scale of these cities has been reduced. - It is not clear whether you will travel through wilderness.. <br /><br /><i>News sourced from: <a href="http://www.gamekicker.com" class="external" target="_blank" class="external" target="_blank">Gamekicker.com</a></i><br /> 2013-06-03T21:10:00+00:00 http://www.simracingworld.com/news/aggregate/external/2643859-ubisoft-lucreaza-la-un-nou-joc-racing-the-crew/rss/ Conform The Examiner, Ubisoft Reflections, studioul responsabil pentru Driver: San Francisco, lucreaza la un nou titlu racing numit The Crew.

This was the part of the show where I slipped out for a bathroom break, but I should've been paying close attention. I'm constantly on the hunt for new gameplay experiences and the last place I would look is the racing genre.
