Kotaku's Weekend Guide recommends playing "The Making of Karateka" to experience a classic game and learn about its significance in gaming history. They also suggest diving into the immersive quests and exploration of "Starfield," revisiting the iconic "Castlevania: Symphony of the Night," enjoying the open-world racing game "The Crew Motorfest," and completing the DLC content in "Pokémon Scarlet and Violet."
The Crew Motorfest, the latest installment in the franchise, offers a wackier and wilder take on open-world racing similar to Forza Horizon. With a wide array of vehicles including cars, boats, planes, and bikes, players can freely switch between them at any point. However, the game's odd progression system and limited customization options for events hinder the overall experience, making it frustrating for those seeking more freedom in their open-world racing games.
Ubisoft's open-world racing game, The Crew Motorfest, features an impressive and highly detailed in-game map that allows players to seamlessly zoom in and out, providing real-time representation of the game world. The map offers useful information about road connections, building shapes, hills, and other geographical features. It has been praised as one of the coolest maps in a video game, surpassing the map in Bethesda's Starfield. The immersive map experience has garnered excitement among gamers, with suggestions for Ubisoft to create a game centered around exploring maps using this technology.
The Crew Motorfest for PS5 and PS4 offers various editions with additional content, including early access, new cars, character outfits, and car modification parts. The Year 1 Pass includes three vehicles at launch and two cars every month thereafter. Whether it's worth the extra cash depends on personal preference.
The complete list of trophies and achievements for Ubisoft's The Crew Motorfest has been leaked, revealing a total of 51 PlayStation Trophies and 50 Xbox Achievements. Players can earn a Platinum Trophy on PlayStation by completing all 50 Trophies, while Xbox players can earn 1,000 Gamerscore in most cases. The list includes various challenges and milestones to accomplish within the game, such as completing events, reaching certain levels, owning vehicles, and performing specific actions.
Ubisoft has announced that a free trial of The Crew Motorfest will be available on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One from September 14 to September 17, offering players five hours of gameplay. Progress and unlocked items will carry over to the full game if players decide to purchase it or play it via Ubisoft+. The game invites players to immerse themselves in car culture and embark on thrilling driving experiences in a vibrant open world set in O'ahu, Hawaii.
Ubisoft has launched the Closed Beta phase for The Crew Motorfest, and a gameplay video captured on an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 shows that the high-end GPU can run the game at 60fps at Native 4K/Ultra Settings. The closed beta build does not support PC upscaling techniques or Ray Tracing effects, but the performance on the RTX 40 series GPUs is stable compared to a previous limited test build. The article also provides the PC system requirements for the closed beta phase.
The Crew Motorfest, launching on September 14, offers players the opportunity to explore the Hawaiian island of O’ahu with over 600 vehicles.
