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’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
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!"
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 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
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.
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. :)
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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
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
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"
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.
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
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.
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😅
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!
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.
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
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
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 :)
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 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.
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.
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'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.
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
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
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
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)
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
I never finished this game on playstation and i honestly wish i did. Even more so now as i have a ton more free time as I've finished my exams. If the servers didnt go offline I'd be finishing it right now. If there is any way to get it past this point once the project is done I'll be on it as soon as i can (but I need a PC first)
So basically they are bringing it back just like nfs world, but if the host thingy worked and you can play offline or create a session as a host to play with friends, that will be way better experience than nfs world, its also a way to f*** ubisoft and their choices, if there is an option to join a public server created by the modder himself that will be fun as there will be events and maybe new contents and updates, its like bringing the game to life again as it should be even better
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
I wonder how the release would/will be handled. I think it should be a seperate game altogether, because I can't imagine modding the steam/ubisoft launcher version somehow to make it playable again. Then it'd have to be free to play to not warrant lawsuits from Ubisoft (even then, legacy CoD launchers like this seem to be were shut down by Activision before, because how dare you buy a decade old game with no support and very real security risks for full price) Would be interesting to know what's planned, if it's a seperate game I'd refund the steam version
TC1 enhanced with mods and quality of life changes to stuff like the handling and physics would legitimately be my dream racing game
The important ingredient of custom ai opponents and races is also on dream racing games too, I want offline to be Infinitely Replayable
If you think about it, a game with the level of mods similar to GTA 5 or Assetto Corsa but having a map size of 3000m^2 is insane
Yup@@Not_Aran8276
It’s almost good they got rid of it we can have mods private games and it started the ”stop killing games” movement
Honestly a shame that people have to put in all this work but Ubisoft couldn’t just simply add an offline mode in the 1st place.
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.
Yeah exactly I mean the forza games can be played offline so why not the crew?
@@therunawaykid6523 Exactly! every game should have an offline feature when the servers are inevitably not running anymore in my opinion.

you can play them on pc
Perhaps I'll finally play the Crew 1 after all. I trust modders more than Ubisoft.
It’s pretty fun, There were a lot of cool stuffs that were included in there that weren’t in the second or motocross.
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
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 :)
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
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
Imagine new and more realistic handling with steering + H pattern, and better car sounds , woah
Wait is it possible for them to add car brands and cars that were never in the game?
With mods possibly
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.
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.
Is it possible to bring The Crew 2 car models into The Crew 1?
Hope so
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.
thank you 🙏 :) for letting me know, thank you awesome people for sticking it to the man!
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.
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
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
Anyone remember Need for Speed World? When it shut down. Playable as a community made game
sucks that this is more than likely PC only and not available on console
Im so happy thanks for you 😊🎉
what happened to this game is exactly the reason i never buy games that say "online connection required" on the front
Moders can create better games than famous game studios. That's it ;)
This might be when i get the game to play for the first time
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
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)
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
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
I hope potentially we could get realistic car handling for this 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
Modern steering wheel support would be a game changer for me... Hell keen!
theoretical mod support sounds a lot like minecraft modding tbh, which means it's more than doable with local server hosting
I have to ask when this is done could we actually play it on consoles again?
I never finished this game on playstation and i honestly wish i did. Even more so now as i have a ton more free time as I've finished my exams. If the servers didnt go offline I'd be finishing it right now. If there is any way to get it past this point once the project is done I'll be on it as soon as i can (but I need a PC first)
So basically they are bringing it back just like nfs world, but if the host thingy worked and you can play offline or create a session as a host to play with friends, that will be way better experience than nfs world, its also a way to f*** ubisoft and their choices, if there is an option to join a public server created by the modder himself that will be fun as there will be events and maybe new contents and updates, its like bringing the game to life again as it should be even better
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
With mods, fans of the game will be able to bring back even the online mode! It may take a while, but they can certainly do it.
if they get full offline, no internet at all, gameplay working I'll be playing on my steam deck so much
I wonder how the release would/will be handled. I think it should be a seperate game altogether, because I can't imagine modding the steam/ubisoft launcher version somehow to make it playable again. Then it'd have to be free to play to not warrant lawsuits from Ubisoft (even then, legacy CoD launchers like this seem to be were shut down by Activision before, because how dare you buy a decade old game with no support and very real security risks for full price)
Would be interesting to know what's planned, if it's a seperate game I'd refund the steam version
I think it will be a separate thing. Something like Soap Box Race World for Need For Speed World if you played that.
It’s gonna use a different launcher
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
always online requirement is pure evil. happy to see that crew could be saved! hope something like this could happen with nfs 2015
So how are people even able to access the game files - much less download it if its been removed from our library???
me after hearing the modding stuff: instantly looking for all the initial d cars and other cars
The fact that crew 2 does not have cops makes it horrifically boring especially if youre going all across the US
