The Crew Motorfest closed beta is sadly over and I only managed to play it on the 3rd day due to FPS issues but the 28 player PvP is really fun! Did you enjoy the closed beta? Let me know your thoughts!
This game was so incredibly fun I couldn’t stop playing it! And the fact that this was just the Beta is INSANE! NFS would drop something like this and call it a full game 😅
This beta is better than a full NFS game. The physics in NFS are horrible and it feels like your car is getting whipped around by an invisible string every time you turn. Oh, I'm turning? Which way will my car randomly get yanked in?
Which isn't too hard to achieve when most roads are like 5-10 cars wide and the cars just look like miniature toys on them, to be fair... and it seems to be almost impossible to really spin anyone out, which is a nice thing to have for an arcade racer. 🎉
This multiplayer is the biggest W I've ever seen. 28 players, solid netcode (espacially for a beta), switching cars, performance parts locked to be equal, solid handling, great map+tracks, bussin music, mean car sounds, it's got it all. Except new wheels and traffic cars. They forgot about these ugly crew 1 remains. The only bad part was that we got baited hard with that OBS Vulkan bug which silently dropped the fps from 60 to 8 in like 2 minutes. And it only has a 30 and 60 fps mode in 2023. bruh

You really have to be there to understand just how exhilarating it is to pit your custom whip against 28 different people. I have not had this much online racing fun since Wreckfest or GTA V Los Santos Tuners. Im on summer vacation in a country that doesn't have good wifi, but when I did Grand Races in the Insider Program, it was a BLAST like that race scene from Ready Player One, and it's sad that current modern racing games aren't doing online this well.

It definitely pays off, but _I wish there was background matchmaking instead so I can continue cruising while waiting._ I hope Ivory Tower can get that into the final release. If they can tell their voice actors to actually sound like real racing humans and not advertisements, that would be wonderful too. This game's tone-deaf dialogue is the one thing deducting from my enjoyment of it.
no seriously what is up with every open world racer releasing with the most clinically hyper-optimistic _"How do you do fellow kids"_ dialogue ever? It's not even corny, it's just depressing. I'd blame Forza Horizon but I think it also has to do with multiple manufacturers pulling out, like how Toyota doesn't put their licenses in games with police chases.
@@JeremyBXseriously, the dialogue sounds like a bunch of 35+ y/o adults trying to fit with "youngsters" who's age range is 16-25. "You know, I'm something of a child myself"
The 28 player races with collision on sound like absolute horror on paper but the execution turned out better than I thought. Maybe because you can’t spin people out as easily and the checkpoint system isn’t as strict?
My favorite new feature us choice feature it allow us to choose if want to go with opinion a or b which in my opinion is super cool and open a lot of creative designs for the tracks
13:00 to 13:40 made me feel like I was watching transformers....what a brilliant game, Props to the developers on this one cause they nailed it with the crew motorfest
wow, that was almost a disaster of a race I love disasters in arcade racing games, this looks very fun and even better with that many people per race, i always wanted to play racing games with that amount of players at the same time in a race!
Wow this is such an improvement from Crew 2. Crazy that this is just the beta. 28 racers on one track is insane and it looked smooth. Hopefully this game focus on the replay value and not the Microtransactions
I dont had time to understand, but it seems that the tracks are randomly generated, if so, then this is the best thing that has happened to games in recent years..
This really reminds me of the Mass Races in Riders Republic, another ubisoft game The race even has "switch gates", just like in RR! But I feel like Motorfest's version of the mass race is more chaotic, since you can collide with people
A solution to this would be a damage/health meter. Your car gets destroyed only when YOU bump into somebody, and not when you get bumped by someone. Think would be fair and everyone would start avoiding collision.
Damage would add more to frustration rather than actually discouraging people from ramming, especially when accidental hits are impossible to avoid. Looks at NFS Unbound, the damage to your car is pretty strong and it does bugger all to stop ramming. I think Motorfest does an okay job, there is full contact but the effect on your car is minimal so your race isn't instantly ruined when collisions happen. EDIT: typo
It felt like Crossplay was on during these races. I can see certain players with spaces in there names, which isn't possible on Ubisoft. Good race though! looking forward to the game when it releases.
clean corners and overtake with the lambo on the last race🔥i also didnt get to play since the fps was really bad and i realized deleting obs studio would fix it on the last day anyway 😂😂it is what it is
Well hot damn the online races seem to be very chaotic but also fun at the same time. After seeing the video I’m probably gonna get it now just to mess around in online lol. 28 players is insane. Does anyone know if there was any other free roam racing game that can have this many players in a online race? Or is this the first game to do so?
I’ll be getting The Crew MotorFest on PC, I really enjoyed the game a lot (just wish that Ivory Tower/Ubisoft gave us more time to play The Crew MotorFest Closed Beta).
They need to do something about the ramming and crashing... its pretty much just giving people who take corners at full speed or crashing into someone else an advantage. Im sure they'll fix it for the full game
You are wrong about that, races are long enough to come back from unlucky crashes. Also balancing with nitro is activated. Only problem I see is how resets work, needs ghosting so you can see someone respawning.
Everything Ive seen on this game looks stunning from the map designs to the vehicles to the sounds it all looks absolutely amazing I've been looking for something to get me off horizon and I think this is the one
Translated by Google: What is making me very happy about PVP is a system that balances all the cars so that the games are fun but fair so that it is pure skill and not because of the car. Forza Horizon 5 has to learn from this because online is totally broken and unbalanced, that there is no balance of cars.
One of the things i hate about The Crew regarding the sound, is that the car's sound jitters way too much right after gear shift. They exaggerated it too much.
At 09:46 is the reason why I couldn't completely love the game. Everything else is great, but the game doesn't know what it wants to be. Mostly arcadey, which is good, but way too twitchy.
OMG 😮 That looks like Horizon Open, but if it took place in the 7th level of hell Lol. I did enjoy the closed beta, but didn’t get to any multiplayer stuff.
What amazes me is that despite the sheer number of players, there seems to be little to no rammers present. I hope it stays that way. Maybe it might, since Motorfest’s arcade handling may make ramming another player off the track more difficult than in Forza Horizon.
Ramming works in Motorfest, but not by going all in, instead you have to sidecheck, which needs quite some skill. For a big lobby like this there are actually not too many rammers, which made it very enjoyable
@@jurinout8665 That's what i implied on my last statement. It exists, but due to the game's more arcadey handling, it is harder to pull off. It is much easier to ram someone off in Forza due to the nature of the physics and handling.
@@IsuckAtDriving ooh ok, the crew 2 was just silly with tcs off, off-road was the worst, zero grip with tcs off in off road races. At least this one might be a lot better.
They need to nerf how strong slip streaming is. It’s also really inconsistent you can be up close to someone and it doesn’t work or someone can be really far from you and they’ll get a boost from it. The slipstream is so strong if you build a lead on someone they shouldn’t just be able to gap you because they are behind you.
Slipstream can be utilized best, when opponent is slower than you. Slipstream usually saves you nitro, but you can't overrun top speed that much! On fast layouts loosing the slipstream can loose you the race though.
Despite the map being smaller, i like it actually I don't need the entire USA as the entire map But i wouldn't say the map is small I mean, compare to the USA map, it is small but i think it's medium.
I like the punishment system. Even the tiniest plantation has impact on car speed. Just like real life. But ramming seem to slow down the rammed car which is strange

It’s Ok the Quality is fine👍👍👍

i absolutely LOVED it, the beta build was a lotta fun and knowing ivory tower they are going to support the game for several years to come ...
@@analvss7965 Solar Crown has been moved to 2024 now, so for this year it's between Motorfest and Forza Motorsport 8.

This is so chaotic. I love it
that’s multiplayer racing game for you
I was already thinking that this mode should be perfect for you, lol. Glad that you still got the game working.
The Crews Motorfest is so much better than The Crew 2
100%. I think the only advantage The Crew 2 has is having a bigger map, albeit a boring one.
Yes and even better than fh5.
For sure
Ah yes The Crews Motorfest is definitely better than the last game
I will smite the person who thought "No-Contact" racing should be the default experience for a 2018 multiplayer street racer, no offense to them
This is way smoother than the most FH5 online races I've seen
Which isn't too hard to achieve when most roads are like 5-10 cars wide and the cars just look like miniature toys on them, to be fair... and it seems to be almost impossible to really spin anyone out, which is a nice thing to have for an arcade racer. 🎉
The start of the race was more hectic than any race I experienced, though it did remind me of FM7 lobbies before the penalty system was implemented.
Yeah but the Netcode is insane, especially on a 28 Player Lobby. Tested it myself and it just worked
@@hookinsu7842let’s not act like forza horizon 5 roads aren’t wide af. Like let’s be serious rn
that's cause the physics are a lot more forgiving
Just from watching it I can tell this is by far one of the best online racing experiences in car games in general.
