The crew wild run monster trucks12/28/2022 ![]() ![]() Then we transitioned back to four wheels with the Viper at another pre-wetted Daytona Run in The South and the Ferrari F458 Speciale at Race for Liberty on the East Coast. Overall the bikes feel good, well weighted, and you have to treat them with respect. Next up we ran a bike race…which was challenging. This was my favorite event of the day and had me down right giddy! This format is a cross between capture the flag, curling and demolition derby. Fun, fun, fun.Įxhibit B: The elevator blitz brawl at mountain states in the Hot Rod. Get the crown, keep the crown, run over your friends if they have the crown. To no surprise, the game is straight forward. It’s about the absurd.Įxhibit A: Hold the Crown Monster Trucks at Crown Arena Bonneville. The only thing I learned from it is A, the wet weather graphics – and the new physics based rendering shaders – are pretty and B, the collision model makes all those sim racing forum pissing matches over bad netcode look silly.īut racing big winged 370z’s around a psuedo Indianapolis isn’t what this game is about. ![]() We did a race at the Little Eagle Speedrome in the Midwest which looks awfully close to a track that I’m very familiar with in Indiana… As for the race, it wasn’t much to get excited about. This is where The Crew Wild Run clearly shines. Once I finished those, my makeshift crew got its act together and we started doing the multiplayer events. Once there, I entered a couple more solo events, including more drifting – hey I like that Arctic Monkeys song! – and my first taste of the bike, which was fun to ride. Once we got done with the trials we followed the big blue line in the sky to the Summit to alleviate our FOMO. Not that involving, too many lines, not enough driving. A car this powerful should be a handful but the only thing you do is gas it to the green line and shift at redline. The dragster on the other hand was kind of boring. The monster truck was fun even though my back flipping skills clearly need work. The drifting was fun once you get the hang of it, which took some time since I haven’t used a controller in a racing game since Gran Turismo 4. This put me in a sporty looking Subaru BRZ on drifting optimized mountain roads, a monster truck at a playground arena and a Corvette Zo6 dragster in the middle of no where… To access the Summit we had to complete a few solo trials first. So the gameplay started with us finding our way to the Summit. Unfortunately, there was no mention of improvements to the game for wheel users so we won’t know until the beta is released. With that said, it does support a number of wheels, so it is an option. We were not given a wheel and pedals, just an Xbox One controller. One thing of note for the usual Inside Sim Racing fanbase. Myself, and three other YouTube content creators were plopped down on PC’s and united as a crew. This is essentially what we did with our time at Ubisoft. It’s where you can go to unlock new solo events or where you can meet up with your crew and do multiplayer challenges together. A hang out spot you’ll hear about a lot (insert summit lines). Speaking of the Summit, what is it? The Summit is the hang out spot. It also allowed me to experience new improvements and features, such as the new dynamic weather system, improved graphics, updated sounds, FreeDrive Stunts and Challenge and the Summit. The event allowed me to try almost all the new content of the expansion dragsters, drift cars, monster trucks and motorcycles. The Wild Run expansion won’t be out until November 17th but we were given an exclusive opportunity to drive an early build version at Ubisoft’s US headquarters in San Francisco. Well enough in fact that Ubisoft is injecting new life into it in the form of The Crew Wild Run expansion. Overall, the game – and I do mean game, it’s certainly not a sim or even simcade – has done well. It’s an open world racing MMO that allows you to create your “crew” and compete together in events across the US. You may remember that The Crew was released in December 2014 on the PS4, Xbox One, Xbox 360 and PC. Welcome to our exclusive first look at The Crew Wild Run expansion from Ubisoft.
