5-10 and Alex in The Crew 2

[jjj0309]

Played for few hours, it seems there is no slightest presence of 5-10 crew and the main protagonist of former game, Alex.
Was greatly impressed by the storyline of The Crew 1, it gave me old Need for Speed vibe and genuinely enjoyed the game because of the story. You know, it's hard to find racing games with story these days.

Anyone progressed The Crew 2 more than me, did you seen any hints or cameo presence of Alex or 5-10 crew in The Crew 2? It's shameful to see Ubisoft completely scrap the foundation of series and abandon the storyline concept. I expected to see the future story of Alex and his crew, this is kinda.. disappointment. The game is not bad, bit too much arcadic for me but it's not bad. But scrapping the foothold of storywise gameplay is... I know it's not RPG, story hardly matter but I wanted to see Alex again!

While the name The Crew 2 seems to be a sequel of The Crew 1, it's actually more of a standalone game, completely separated from The Crew 1's lore.

The Crew 2 is more focused on official legal races, there are a very slim storyline in it, but very slim and nothing related to 5-10. I did like the story in the first one, but the second one didn't bother me too much, I also enjoyed that I got to be myself in here rather than Alex.

Then again I'm curious of what DLCs they'll add in future, since in The Crew 1 the DLCs were wildly different from what we would expect from the game. Such as the Wild Run and Calling all Units totally added new gamemodes.

Yeah, if can I want to see Alex in the future DLC of The Crew 2. It's shameful to can't even hear his name in-game.

They mention the 5-10 crew in the charity drift event and of course Alita (someone Alex recruited into the crew in the first game) shows up in the hypercar event to win the regera for Latrell.

Other than that we haven't seen or heard anything related to the first game. I'm personally hoping Alex shows up in a future update to the game.

Thanks for confirmation, they appear as cameo at least!

I really hope Alex shows up as a hidden hyper-boss in a later DLC or expansion. Something where if you meet certain criteria, you will get challenged by a "mystery racer" who once you beat them is revealed as Alex.

this was my biggest gripe during the beta, which was losing the feel of an amazing storyline like TC1 had. I had been complaining that TC2 is basically Steep with vehicles. Even the interface is very Steep-like. I loved Steep at first but got burned out very quickly with no real storyline. I hope they will at some point add actual storylines maybe in future expansions or something. The game really needs it.

It pained me to hear what's his name talk about "going legit" as the whole 5-10 thing added so much meat and drama to TC1.

TC2 has its shortcomings, especially compared to TC1, but TC1 I started after it had the two expansions so I dunno how lacking it was at first. I have faith they'll improve TC2. It's a decent start, but the game definitely needs a lot more character to stick around. Hopefully the seasonal DLCs will add more story and variety of races and not just vehicle types. The game really lacks the spontaneous excitement of the jump in crate chases from TC1 too. Hope they add something similar even if it doesn't hvae a 5-10 feel.

This is too complicated for devs. And DLC's gonna be just new disciplines with few races.

The "story" and dialogue in this game is x20000 worst than it was in the first game. You have trash taste.
