Ubisoft's racer The Crew is the "World of Warcraft of driving games"

Publisher likens upcoming Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC racing game to Blizzard's genre-defining MMO.

Ubisoft's upcoming racing game The Crew has been designed to be the "World of Warcraft of driving games," the publisher said today as part of its latest earnings report.

What exactly does that mean? Ubisoft didn't offer much in the way of detail, but the company has previously spoken of the game as one that blends the MMO and racing genres.

Like Blizzard Entertainment's genre-defining World of Warcraft, The Crew will have a central storyline that you can follow, but it also includes a significant social component. What's more, The Crew features an RPG-like system that lets you collect parts and then use them to upgrade your car, just like you might collect new gear in World of Warcraft.

The Crew, which has been in development for more than six years, launches this fall for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. For more on The Crew's RPG-like qualities, check out our video interview with the game's creators.

Eh, still not interested in The Crew. Maybe a year from it's launch it'll be on Games with Gold.

Are WoW is probably one of the most stale MMORPG ever... A forza horizon MMO now that would be great

Round 2: Most Anticipated Xbox Game Pre-E3

I think it looks good but im not really into arcade style racers so ill most likely pass on it.

Nice! Most of my cousins and uncles are all engineers. 

At my college you have to take Calculus 1-3, Linear Algebra, and Diff Equations for engineer majors. Not sure if that's the same for you, but good luck with that! Although all the engineers have told me they never used any of the calculus in college for their actual jobs. 

Just got a great workout in Xbox Fitness. I'd feel it should be the real Kinect seller. Microsoft needs to advertise this on tv.

SHADOW OF MORDOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Come on Shika, help me rally!!!!!!!!

I was actually quite interested in The Crew at first, but if we really do get Forza Horizon 2 this year then I'll go with that instead.

Honestly im not sure why they havent.  As soon as i told my sisters they instantly wanted a XBO.  In fact one of my sisters is getting a XBO at some point for it.  Though she likes games as well so she wants it for both reasons.
