The only issue here is that the dynamic weather system is often quite under-utilised. Dynamic weather and lighting improvements have been made as the team at Ivory Tower has made attempts at creating a more lively game world for players to experience.
That being said, The Crew: Wild Run does introduce some new tricks to the game’s arsenal.
The title update for Wild Run has given the game an edge when it comes to the visual presentation of the world, but the fact that its nature is still quite dated in comparison to many current generation racing games is still apparent.
The natural aspects of The Crew do fare better, which is also thanks to the visual upgrade that the title has received. Environments in general are decently detailed, though urban areas are often a little limited when it comes to detail in the geometry of structures. The game spans the entirety of North America (in an abridged fashion of course), which provides players with a vast variety of environments. Wether you’re driving through the streets of New York or along the coasts of California, there’s something in it for anyone who’s looking for a change of scenery. The first thing you need to know about the world of The Crew is its monstrous size. But that’s not to say that the current iteration of the game doesn’t deserve a shout-out of its own. The first thing you need to know about The Crew is that it isn’t a contender to be the most graphically ambitious title out there. Aliasing, texture and other issues were very apparent, but a year later the tides have turned somewhat, and along with the new additions of Wild Run’s arsenal it also throws a pretty significant graphical upgrade into the mix, which is why this release of the new expansion warrants a redo when it comes to reviewing the game’s graphical aspects. Starting at the graphical presentation, it isn’t hard to ignore the fact that last year’s release wasn’t much of a looker. But now we’re a year later, and Ubisoft is giving the game a second chance at life with The Crew: Wild Run, a large expansion that foregoes the narration that the base game came bagged with and sets players up with some more extreme additions and fixes that do change the game in a lot of ways. Riddled with great ideas and ambition, the game still never lived up to the expectations that the developer and players had set. The Crew experience also continues on iOS, Android tablets and on the web with the Crew Companion game.A year ago Ubisoft introduced gamers to The Crew, a racing MMO that focussed on putting players together in an experience that spans all over North America.
