I’m pretty sure TC1 pioneered regular content updates in racing games. I can’t recall any other franchises who updated their games on a regular basis before this. The Crew is a relic and should be treated as such. Thank you to the wonderful people working on this project. ❤
NFS World actually was very similar when it came to content updates and releasing new rides and tuning options. It was just free-to-play so when it shut down there was a lot less outrage
They didn't even need to add it. Offline mode was a feature that just needed to be enabled. Modders found it at some point or another, like it was a disabled development feature perhaps. IE Ubisoft only needed to patch it in, in some sort of "Sunset and goodbye" patch. They're literally using this situation as a way of asserting a precedence, that gamers don't own their games any more.
@gravebug2522 Question, I downloaded the crew 2 today, and Im getting kinda sad reading comments. Saying crew 2 is going to shut down after 1 year, that means no online? But they are adding offline mode? Im so confused, because I have been enjoying crew 2 ALOT, even tho I got like 4hours on it.
They got already paid for the licenses and people paid the game already. Its like buying a car and the garage is taking it back after 7 years without giving any money back@@LoveSickWorld
I think Fergus would be extremely stoked to see his baby be brought back by the effort and love of the fans. Sort of solidifying the thought of "Yes, we love your game!"
I saw a twitter video on gameplay footage not too long ago. Ubisoft can try all they want. But the gaming community will go a long way on preserving video games.
If EA pulls the plug on NFS 2015 , the community can resurrect the game as well But I highly doubt that EA shut down the servers right now as it is that NFS MW 2012 is till boosting sales right now at the moment and online servers are still active
This makes me very happy. When I was a kid and played the Crew, my mom used to watch and really started liking the game too. She had a jeep irl so I took a raid spec jeep out to the sand dunes for her to drive around. many fun fun times. I cant wait to take her jeep back to the dunes in her honor. :)
What made the Crew 1 so great for me was the random encounters in freeroam I had with drivers throughout the US also the ability to teleport or fast travel literally anywhere facing the car any direction I please. The map in Crew 1 just felt more alive and realistic than 2 imo.
Yeah the first two crew games to me were just way more fun to play than motorfest I think one of the main reasons were the larger maps and activities you could compete in, motorfest to me just kind of felt dead
I believe this project could end up like Need for Speed; World and how you can choose your own sever with its own mods and rules. Definitely looking forward to it
This almost brought tears to my eyes! And gave me so much hope!! From the bottom of my heart, thank you to every passionate soul working tirelessly to make it happen!!! You won't be forgotten!!
...to rhyme like this, so I had to grind like that to shine like this In a matter of time I spent on some locked-up shit In the back of the paddy wagon, cuffs locked on wrists
Temper your expecations guys, so far they only restored functionalities linked to the technical online-only aspects of the game like buying cars, events, etc. They still have to work out networking for actually being able to play online with people, and probably either adding a server browser or server login type of method to even get into servers. Don't get me wrong this looks sick and I can't wait. But there's still a lot of work to be done for us to drive on these roads again.
Not necessarily for local play with a server emulator - but yeah, I agree with you that restoring multiplayer with other players is most likely the next roadblock once all of the chapters of the game are playable once again.
@@DomP001 No. The person leading the operation said that they can't differentiate legal copies of The Crew and pirated ones. Since Ubisoft doesn't sell the game anymore, I say go wild.
I hope mod support is implemented because having the bikes and the new cars from the crew 2 added would be awesome. Also improved handling map details maybe graphics and vehicles that was never in any of the crew games implemented all playable offline or on local multiplayer I’d honestly pay for that product that’s a AAA $60.00 Title right there.
I still remember staying up late to play the game right after midnight on release. One of the very few games I've done that for. Can't wait for this project to be completed so I can enjoy this game again.
I was like 9 when this released. I got a physical copy for Christmas and I put it into my Xbox One and waited until around midnight for it to install so I could finally play it. I am so hyped to be able to play through it again, This time though I'll probably have to procure a copy for PC, which will be interesting. Yar har.
same thing happened with TDU2 and NFS World. It took really long time with NFS but in the end we got the game running just like before and with cut content available
With TDU 2, however, things were a little different. Modders revived the online mode. But the game was otherwise still fully functional. Even without mods.
Taking people's money in exchange for a product, and then taking away access to said product, is THEFT! But it's also up to us to RESEARCH said product/company, before parting with our hard-earned cash. Having said all of that, it's good to know that there are "good samaritans" willing to fight back against these greedy corporate entities!
If Ubisoft refuses to revive it, then a group of modders will revive it. Only on PC though, people were wondering if consoles are included. No, they weren’t.
This is impressive. If they really manage to enable modding and adding cars, on top of that the whole USA map. Than we have the Test Drive Unlimited we all wanted before Test Drive is even released.
Yeah the map was incredible to explore and I think it shows that while motorfest had the crew in its title it’s just not the same if the map is too small and the things to do are not as fun
@therunawaykid6523 The map is small that's true. But the lack of progression in Motorfest completely destroyed the joy. I even tried to refund the game but it was too late. It doesn't make any sense to have our own cars and not to be able to race and upgrade them.
Sweet🙌🏻 I remember playing the Beta when it first came out, and I tried to stream going from San Francisco to New York with max cops on me. Highest number of watchers I’ve ever had on twitch😂 800 people were watching me felt like immense pressure😅
Yeah and much more fun to drive around than motorfests to me it felt like you had more freedom in the crew 1 and I preferred the activities you could do
I expected to make a live on the 31st to close up the server only to discover they had already pulled the plug... Happy I had just finished my 4th career for posterity. Can't wait for this one to become fully operational.
I dont think Ubisoft has any legal ability to shut this down. They are making their own server structure, it requires you to own the game and they arent selling it.
Ubisoft shouldn't be scumbags. The law shouldn't allow them to be scumbags. This is an online only game which is commercially discontinued. This means, even if you buy the dvd, it's unplayable. Companies should lose the rights to a game which is tied to a server and shuts off. Copyright should only work for as long as the game is sold and active - after the game closing it should be legal to allow non-profit projects of communities reviving dinscontinued games. Copyright should only be still active for games with an offline mode - even if it gets discontinued, you can still buy the dvd and play it offline. They should either leave online-only games in a working offline state, or have reviving projects legally allowed, as long as accessing the project isn't behind a paywall.
ubisoft doesn't (or at least shouldn't) ..be able to do that When a piece of software (such as a game) gets ignored by the owner, isn't for sale anymore or license expires.. it becomes "abandonware" That means its effectively public domain.. or as wikipedia puts it.. "Within an intellectual rights contextual background, abandonware is a software sub-case of the general concept of orphan works"
I only played the crew 2 and motorfest but never the crew 1 which I really wanted to try it out. So now I have a chance to play this and It's incredible on what the community can do.
The Crew 1 is really different from The Crew 2. Firstly, The map kinda looks better in the first one. Secondly, There are police, Which kinda works like Every other racing game with cops. (Still a lot of fun). Thirdly, There’s a story! And finally, it doesn’t have boats or planes.
Yeah it’s great this reminds me a bit of the great people who managed to archive a load of little big planet community levels that could be downloaded and played again after the servers were shut down, I’m really looking forward to playing the first crew game again I spent hours and hours exploring the map it always felt like a fun road trip whenever I started a new gameplay session
Bought the game for 40 dollars and spent 35 dollars on cars and upgrade. Spend at least 90 hours of my life and made it halfway through only to have it gone
As much as I'd love for the game to come back on PS4 and with "offline" mode, I'd happily accept "acquiring" it on PC. As for mods, I think I'd go for a fairly light touch. The upgrades always being upgrades and hopefully nicer handling (dunno if that changed for Calling All Units, definitely was a bit better for the Summit update)
I never got the chance to play this game, so I'm super duper excited to try it out when it's ready. Ubisoft is fairly litigious though, so we'll have to see.
If they could create servers for everyone to connect in multiplayer, they should create their own mods and sell them on pateron or something to cover the costs of running the servers!
Yeah this looks great I used to love just cruising around the map it was so cool to see the other players driving around the map as well and seeing what car they were driving. To me motorfest just doesn’t seem the same as the first two crew games the maps in the first two games are so fun to drive around and explore - I hope we get to jump back into the first crew game again I miss it
Whilst sorting the servers is great, it doesn't fix the fact that Ubisoft have pulled it out of my Steam library entirely and you can't reinstall via Uplay as they've removed everyones licence for the game
I've been on their discord for a while now. I knew someone would do this but I didn't expect it to happen so soon. Definitely keeping an eye on their progress and of course playing it once it's ready.
Im Happy knowing that this gem is being fixed up n made playable again but im also somewhat sad that this would most likely only apply to PC but theoretically since its just a server issue would it be possible to get console copies of the crew to also connect. Just thought this but if modding is possible this revived crew with mods could rival AC if the right Mods were made (Graphics, sound, weather, handling) and since the in game camera/video mode is so well made we could in theory make mini movies
Yeah that is what I am wondering as well maybe they give you a download link or something can’t wait to play the first crew game agin I had so much fun just cruising around and exploring the nice large us map
I'm also glad and excited!!!! these guys do god's work! Ubisoft should be ashamed! Also on the self hosted server part, what would be great is to have the option to change the drop rate of the parts, xp, rewards etc... No more stupid grind ^^ I just pray Ubisoft doesn't shut this down...(my biggest fear)
I saw on their discord server that the earliest they would be able to release it is in December here is what the owner said When is it going to be released? This is a very hard question to answer, because it's not like we are developing our own game here, it may be smooth sailing for weeks until we find a new issue that's hard to fix, and progress slows down because of it. There have been several surprises along the way so far already. All I can say is that we are doing our best to have it out by December (10th anniversary), but I can't promise 100% for sure.
I want to get a symbiosis of crew 2 and crew 1, where from 2 there will be opportunities with gameplay and detailing of nature, and from 1 there will be detailing of cities. It would be the best racing game.
Hope they figure out a way to play with more that 4 players in a crew and hopefully make it some where like 32 players or something with such a big map and can only drive with 3 of your friends. I wanna cruise with the whole town
It should be illegal for game developers to make you pay for a game that they can just disconnect at any time. They should have an offline patch (that keeps all features besides online) before they shut down their own servers by law.
Why do you think that Gran Turismo Sport received an offline patch by the end of its life? For Polyphony themselves to prevent lawsuits and make sure our money is worth to keep the game and continue grinding to buy cars and play endless hours for fun despite they went full online focused racing Gran Turismo 7 will receive a offline patch by the end of its life
I'm really excited, never actually gotten around of playing the game other than the demo, this means that I now actually can when it gets released, amazing work that they are doing
Yeah I actually sold the ps4 disc as I had the pc version but then of course the servers were shut down meaning the disc game and digital version of the game were absolutely useless and the game couldn’t even be played, I’m very much looking forward to this revival project
It might be possible to restore this game for consoles too. Because you can host server outside of your local machine. So the only thing to do would be to change server address. Things like that may be stored outside of source code (in some config files etc). And I know about some games that got restored for consoles. For example Transformers games :)
Miss that game!!!! Car games with a story is a rarity these days. Loved it!! When the crew two and most recent one came out I lost interest. Became too fortnite-ish. I bought the crew 2 at release and traded it with something else that following week. Played Motorfest Demo. Better than crew 2 but you can get rid of the boats and planes.
this game being savable in its original state is amazing and definitely worth the effort, however i cant help but think about a moddable version. imagine we got a the crew 1m, that would be the ultimate game, i could see people being raid spec hyper cars or more race spec cars. i know that the crew 2 model is what they chose to continue with but the crew 1s spec system really caught my imagination while the crew 2s system just didnt.
I would love that just like the tdu games and forza games I hate that you had to be online every time you wanted to play the game - so of course if your internet went down while you were playing you just couldn’t play it anymore which was ridiculous

The important ingredient of custom ai opponents and races is also on dream racing games too, I want offline to be Infinitely Replayable

Yeah that is what I am wondering as well maybe they give you a download link or something can’t wait to play the first crew game agin I had so much fun just cruising around and exploring the nice large us map
I was so annoyed with what they did but the fact that they are bringing it back makes me so happy 👍
Yeah the people reviving it are awesome
thank you 🙏 :) for letting me know, thank you awesome people for sticking it to the man!
I'm also glad and excited!!!! these guys do god's work! Ubisoft should be ashamed!
Also on the self hosted server part, what would be great is to have the option to change the drop rate of the parts, xp, rewards etc...
No more stupid grind ^^
I just pray Ubisoft doesn't shut this down...(my biggest fear)
I would love to play The Crew 1 again, hope it will be possible soon and like the idea of an own save game that can never be taken away... :)
I saw on their discord server that the earliest they would be able to release it is in December here is what the owner said
When is it going to be released?
This is a very hard question to answer, because it's not like we are developing our own game here, it may be smooth sailing for weeks until we find a new issue that's hard to fix, and progress slows down because of it. There have been several surprises along the way so far already. All I can say is that we are doing our best to have it out by December (10th anniversary), but I can't promise 100% for sure.
I want to get a symbiosis of crew 2 and crew 1, where from 2 there will be opportunities with gameplay and detailing of nature, and from 1 there will be detailing of cities. It would be the best racing game.
Hope they figure out a way to play with more that 4 players in a crew and hopefully make it some where like 32 players or something with such a big map and can only drive with 3 of your friends. I wanna cruise with the whole town
It should be illegal for game developers to make you pay for a game that they can just disconnect at any time.
They should have an offline patch (that keeps all features besides online) before they shut down their own servers by law.
Why do you think that Gran Turismo Sport received an offline patch by the end of its life?
For Polyphony themselves to prevent lawsuits and make sure our money is worth to keep the game and continue grinding to buy cars and play endless hours for fun despite they went full online focused racing
Gran Turismo 7 will receive a offline patch by the end of its life
The crew 1 was fire
Its still is
Imagine new and more realistic handling with steering + H pattern, and better car sounds , woah
Sad, not made by Ubishit. It shows how tbey don't care about their customer and what they spent, they don't even care about reserving their legacy
Moders can create better games than famous game studios. That's it ;)
I'm really excited, never actually gotten around of playing the game other than the demo, this means that I now actually can when it gets released, amazing work that they are doing
sucks that this is more than likely PC only and not available on console
This give me the soapbox raceworld flashbacks (NFS World)
Might as well bin my physical copy or put it through a shredder
Yeah I actually sold the ps4 disc as I had the pc version but then of course the servers were shut down meaning the disc game and digital version of the game were absolutely useless and the game couldn’t even be played, I’m very much looking forward to this revival project
Is it possible to bring The Crew 2 car models into The Crew 1?
Hope so
Hopefully they save the console version
That’s not really possible. Unless you hack your system, then no.
My opinion thats how it should of been from the start on you could play it offline and if you want play online with random players and friends
i am so happy that they are going to save this game. i just started playing the game
YES!!!! AND MODDING SUPPORT>?????
I alerted them about this in one of your vids. Here it is now. VICTORY FOR MODERS🥳
OMG!!!😍😍 I hope so!!🙏🏻 for me it was the best racing game!!🥰
I hope potentially we could get realistic car handling for this game
This might be when i get the game to play for the first time
It might be possible to restore this game for consoles too. Because you can host server outside of your local machine. So the only thing to do would be to change server address. Things like that may be stored outside of source code (in some config files etc). And I know about some games that got restored for consoles. For example Transformers games :)
Progress #6 is out. Lets goooooooooo
Anyone remember Need for Speed World? When it shut down. Playable as a community made game
This is awesome but I’m sad that this probably isn’t coming to consoles
It will eventually, we just need to figure out the PC port first
always online requirement is pure evil. happy to see that crew could be saved! hope something like this could happen with nfs 2015
It should become an industry standard for online games that everyone can host a server.
This brings hope. I love this game
This is fantastic but sadly I won’t benefit on PS4😢Just hope it prompts Ubisoft to bring it back as a single player game
Miss that game!!!! Car games with a story is a rarity these days. Loved it!! When the crew two and most recent one came out I lost interest. Became too fortnite-ish. I bought the crew 2 at release and traded it with something else that following week. Played Motorfest Demo. Better than crew 2 but you can get rid of the boats and planes.
Midnight club is still cancelled soz
this game being savable in its original state is amazing and definitely worth the effort, however i cant help but think about a moddable version. imagine we got a the crew 1m, that would be the ultimate game, i could see people being raid spec hyper cars or more race spec cars. i know that the crew 2 model is what they chose to continue with but the crew 1s spec system really caught my imagination while the crew 2s system just didnt.
Driveclub is gettiing revived like TC1 with a completly diferent team, in case I wasn't specifing enough
They should turn this into a fully offline SinglePlayer game
I would love that just like the tdu games and forza games I hate that you had to be online every time you wanted to play the game - so of course if your internet went down while you were playing you just couldn’t play it anymore which was ridiculous
