Excellent! Thank you sir, I've registered for PS4 now, hope I get picked.

Just signed up myself. I like the idea behind the game but none of the videos I've seen have impressed me that much.

Got an email with a beta key earlier, so I assume the beta is starting soon on consoles?

Zero-Cool

I really hope I get a ps4 beta key for this!

dreamers75

PC runs much better than last time, glitchy cut scenes but tbh not an issue.

Its quite fun.

They have certainly done a great job with that trailer alright!

Potential-Monke

Christ, this looks like the game i've been waiting for since NFS: Underground 2! That trailer certainly gets the hopes up!

Was looking forward to this but after playing the Beta, it's just meh. I'd like to go and race some cars but you have to play through a terrible story in order to get to a race.. Maybe the full release will be different. I'll be waiting for a big discount before I buy, and that won't take long by the looks of it.

I have a spare beta key for the PC if someone wants it. PM me.

Zero-Cool

I hope console keys are going around handy enough.

Looks class!

I see in the car customization, you can put a flag on the car, anyone know if the Irish one is there?

Looks like the beta is opened from September 30th to October 4th.

Thanks to a receipt from pre-ordering The Crew, the dates for the upcoming The Crew console beta may be out now. You can expect to be cruising along the countryside starting September 30th through October 4th.

Also, didn't know about the Golden License Plate codes. There are hidden codes throughout the trailers, ads and online comments. If you see a license plate, enter the code in the link below and unlock ingame items.

I just entered one and will get 100 UPLAY points towards a exclusive Dodge Viper. Must be fate!

This game looks brilliant, I've been keeping track of it for a while.

I always loved the Burnout games, and the NFS ones the Criteron made. This looks like a good mix of both, takedowns are in there which makes me happy

I just got a mail from Ubisoft with a key to the closed beta on PS4. I'll have to tear myself away from Destiny to give it a try.

B@stard!

If anyone gets a PS4 code that they don't want, I'll gladly take it off you. Then if I get one in an email I'll post it up here.

The email says the key is non-transferable. I wonder if they have locked it to your PSN ID.

Waiting for one on the Xbox one myself

Maybe, honestly can't remember. But the email is addressed to my PSN name.

Zero-Cool

Yeah, you use your PSN ID to sign up.

Actually just checked, you register for beta with your UPlay account. Fully sure I'd get it today, balls.

Got my key aswell, downloading as we speak

I'm so glad I got into the beta for this game. Now I know that I can safely avoid buying it later this year when all games start coming thick and fast.

Just my first impressiona but there was nothing impressive on show here, except for the cool map implementation. I didn't immedi take to the car handling like in say a NFS game. And graphically I found it very disappointing. I'd say it is no more impressive than NFS Most Wanted.

Zero-Cool

Anyone else get a BETA code, still waiting but not holding my breath. Really wanted to try it before buying. If controls aren't too good, I'd stick with Drive Club.

biggebruv

Just signed up wanna try it so bad just see the maps size lol

If anyone gets a cide they dont want can they PM it to me
Would also help with the wait till alien isolation LOL
