A new game called The Crew was shown off in today's Ubisoft E3 conference. The game is developed by Ivory Tower and Ubisoft Reflections. It is slated for a Fall 2014 release and is heading to PS4, Xbox One, and PC.

The game is an online persistent world, blurring the lines between single and multiplayer gaming, and it revolves around infiltrating criminal organizations throughout the USA. The game allows players to play in co-op in every single mission if they choose to do so.

A live gameplay demonstration was shown to illustrate how co-op missions work. A customization system is also featured in the game, allowing players to strip an entire car and build it back up with parts. Cars can be customized using your mobile device on the second screen.

Update: Here's the official game description and features.

Take part in a relentless ride to infiltrate and overtake the 510s, a gang grown around Detroit?s illegal street racing scene. Your plan? Get a rep on the underground-racing scene and sabotage their activities city-by-city all across the United States. Maneuver through the bustling streets of New York City and Los Angeles, cruise down sunny Miami Beach or trek through the breathtaking plateaus of Monument Valley. Each locale comes with its own set of surprises and driving challenges to master. On your journey you will encounter other players on the road ? all potentially worthy companions to crew up with, or future rivals to compete against. This is driving at its most exciting, varied and open.

? NEVER DRIVE ALONE

Jump in and out seamlessly and build your crew of four through bonding or intense rivalry. Whether your objective is to takedown a convoy or to escape the police, achieving it with friends ensures a fresh experience each time you join in.

? A PLAYGROUND OF UNPRECEDENTED SCOPE AND VARIETY

The entire United States is your driving playground ? all roads and everything in between. Every type of terrain imaginable is yours to master ? from downtown city streets to suburbs, hillsides, cornfields, canyons, desert dunes or even race tracks.

? THE EXPERIENCE GOES ON, WHEREVER YOU ARE

Continue the experience on iOS, Android tablets, and on the web. Keep track of your friends? performances and tinker with your ride before playing it live to set new records, or send your crew on jobs on-the-go to gain more XP and parts.

? PREPARE FOR THE NEXT JOB

An extensive tuning system combining depth and simplicity allows you to collect cosmetic and performance parts and customize your licensed cars, according to your style

The ideas they have are nice but i wasn't impressed from the graphics.

Maybe its the video (http://www.gamespot....3-2013-6409670/)

Better video?

Maybe the graphics are not what they could be, due to the scope of the game?

Sounds pretty cool to me.

I wish one day, you can drive anywhere. Say you live in LA, and you want to drive to Toronto, Ontario. Or you want to go from Vancouver (possibly ship transport your car) to the Nurburgring in Germany. Taking the same plan as in the crew, you can fast travel and drive and hangout with your crew. All the cars are tunable, engine swaps, rims, tweaking from the smallest thing like say for an example.. camber to having legit body kits from Japan. Oh one day...

I'm a sucker for driving games so I'll probably pick this up at some point, but as someone else had said, the graphics didn't exactly blow me away like Forza or Drive Club did (or even GT6 on the PS3 to some extent with regards to car models).

Thanks but this is just the intro combined maybe with a promo video that are already on the video i posted.Its not gameplay as the video i saw.

I was really amazed by the screenshot in the beginning of the first post and that's why i wanted to see the game.To make sure if that screenshot (which looks very close to reality) was from gameplay.

Unfortunately it was not.

    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      By +Warwagon · Posted

      Now 8GB of ram looks even worse in the Neo. I'm so happy I purchased 128GB of DDR 4 when I did.... paid $174. Upgraded my parents laptop to 32GB around the same time for $48. Luckily I have a TON of spare laptops. So i'm good on laptops for a while. I also have a lot of desktops too that I could use if i had to. Lets just hope nothing happens to my main 4 monitor couch workstation.

      I will keep my current devices for several years... no planning in upgrading until these devices stop working. Too pricey.
    • Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge

      Apple raises MacBook and iPad prices as memory costs surge by Karthik Mudaliar Apple has raised the U.S. prices of several MacBook and iPad models, including the MacBook Neo, which it launched for $599 less than four months ago. The company’s cheapest laptop now starts at $699, while some MacBook Pro configurations have increased by $300. The changes affect the MacBook Neo, MacBook Air, MacBook Pro, iPad Air, and iPad Pro. Apple has not changed the hardware or storage included with these models, so customers are simply paying more for the same configurations. Here is how the new US pricing compares with the previous starting prices: Product Previous price New price Increase MacBook Neo $599 $699 $100 13-inch MacBook Air, 512GB $1,099 $1,299 $200 14-inch MacBook Pro, 1TB $1,699 $1,999 $300 16-inch MacBook Pro $2,699 $2,999 $300 11-inch iPad Air, 128GB $599 $749 $150 13-inch iPad Air, 128GB $799 $949 $150 11-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $999 $1,199 $200 13-inch iPad Pro, 256GB $1,299 $1,499 $200 The updated prices are already appearing on Apple’s U.S. online store. The MacBook Neo increase will probably attract the most attention. Apple introduced the laptop in March for $599, pitching it as a more affordable Mac for students and buyers considering Windows laptops or Chromebooks. It uses an A18 Pro processor and originally undercut Dell’s new $699 XPS 13 by $100. Following the increase, the two laptops now have the same starting price. The M5 MacBook Air has also lost the price Apple promoted when it launched in March. The 13-inch model arrived with 512GB of storage for $1,099, while Apple’s store now lists the MacBook Air range as starting at $1,299. The 14-inch MacBook Pro with an M5 chip and 1TB of storage has gone from $1,699 to $1,999. Apple has made similar changes to its iPads. The recently released M4 iPad Air, which launched at the same $599 starting price as its predecessor, now starts at $749 for the 11-inch version. The 13-inch version has risen from $799 to $949. The iPad Pro increases are larger in dollar terms. Apple’s 11-inch M5 iPad Pro now starts at $1,199, up from $999, while the 13-inch version has moved from $1,299 to $1,499. Both base models still include 256GB of storage. Apple blamed the increases on the rapidly rising cost of DRAM and NAND flash, which provide system memory and device storage. The company told Reuters that it had tried to shield customers from the increases but could no longer absorb them. “We have never seen a component price increase this much, this quickly,” Apple said. Tim Cook had already warned that price increases were coming. Cook said Apple’s existing component inventory had softened the immediate impact, but that higher memory costs would increasingly affect the company after the June quarter. Much of the pressure comes from the construction of AI data centers. Memory manufacturers are directing more production toward high-margin server products, leaving PC, tablet, and smartphone makers competing for the remaining supply. Apple has not said whether the new prices are temporary or whether further increases are planned. For now, the changes show that even Apple’s purchasing power has not been enough to keep the AI-driven memory shortage away from consumer devices.

    • This Chinese company is reportedly developing a feature Apple and Samsung can only dream of

      By Mateus · Posted

      This is a none story - these low volume Chinese models will always get new experimental features first because Apple and Samsung can't produce them in huge volume to meet demand.
