Of all the open world driving games that are set to come out, The Crew is the one whose developers and publisher have remained quietest. A trailer here and there, an official gameplay video from time to time, yet nothing on the same kind of scale as other, more eagerly anticipated games, like Watch Dogs which has received a ridiculous amount of attention.
The Crew centers on a gang of street racer/outlaws that have the freedom to drive wherever they please across a condensed map of the entire US territory (coast-to-coast drives take at least 10 minutes of fast driving). The second point of focus is the cars that can be heavily modified and even reengineered as different types of vehicles: a Baja-style Chevy Camaro will be noticed, even if the game doesn’t strive for realism.
The video trailer posted below shows off the game with added commentary. So far it’s the best look at the upcoming title, which we don’t know exactly when we’ll see released. They say Q3 2014, but you know how games and their release dates are… they’re highly inconsistent and subject to change.
