The main talking point here is The Summit, a gathering of The Crew universe's best wheel jockeys to show off their skills in events scattered all over psuedo-USA.  To fully take advantage of the environments these events will be set in, Ubisoft is adding four new vehicle types: Dragsters, Motorcycles, Monster Trucks, and Drift cars.  Unless we start getting into Diddy Kong Racing territory, that should about cover all the ways humans can traverse the terrestrial world.  Here's hoping for Radio Flyers in the next expansion.

Come to think of it, I guess I wouldn't really need The Crew to accomplish that.  Huh.  I've... I've got some things to look into.

This extended demo session is actually access to the full game, clocking it at 14GB for PS4 and 16GB for One.  For the grand total of $0, people may as well give the game a go and see if the issues are truly fixed.  Any progress you make will be saved should you go on to purchase the full game.

Fixes and improvements can be found in quite a few aspects of the game, including co-op.  Specifically, the quick co-op functionality has been worked on, meaning that it should be a bit easier for you to find three strangers to traipse around psuedo-America with.  The full patch details can be found below.

The Crew has just recently embarked on its own DLC release schedule, beginning with "The Extreme Pack", which I'm assuming is a reference to Ubisoft's decision to start living life on the edge now that they've experienced the pits of true sorrow.  The title sort of sounds like something a middle schooler would call his crew of like-minded tweens, but you should probably check out the DLC's release video to see if the name is fitting.

The Crew is out on shelves right now across Xbox One, PS4, PC and 360.  It has four player online co-op that looks great fun:

The Crew is out December 2nd so there is not long to go until you get your hands on the PC, PS4, One and 360 game.  Although there is no offline co-op, up to 4 players can put the pedal to the metal and join forces online.

Two exclusive cars, the McLaren 12C and Ferrari 458 Special, will be available to Season Pass holders right at launch. Then, four packs of three new cars will then follow on each month starting in January. These car packs are also available separately for $5, though it's unclear just what vehicles and how many will be in each pack. Finally the pass will including over 100 liveries, dozens of stickers, and some other exclusives.

Originally scheduled to release on November 11, The Crew was recently pushed back to an early December release due to feedback from the first round of beta players in September. Some of theupdates include tweaks to the difficulty, better voice chat integration, the option to remove the HUD, and fine-tuning some of the collisions.

“We received a lot of valuable information from the recent PC and console betas,” says Creative Director Julian Gerighty. “We are now scrutinizing all of the player feedback so we can ensure that The Crew delivers the seamless open-world experience that meets everyone’s high expectations.”
