The Crew
Ubisoft's upcoming next generation racing game, The Crew, is a product of Smuggler's Run influence, as well as new fatherhood.
In a post on the official Ubisoft blog, The Crew's creative director, Julian Gerighty, talked about his love for Smuggler's Run, as well as how being a new parent lead to some of the game's design. "The Crew is developed by people who are passionate about cars. We are passionate about driving. Not just racing, but driving,” Gerighty said. According to him, Smuggler's Run is a game that is about driving, not just racing.
As far as parenthood's influence on The Crew, Gerighty said, “I had a kid, which forces me to play at 6:00 in the morning – and at 6:00 in the morning I don’t want a twitch experience. I want something a little more relaxed." This is why exploration and driving is just as important a focus of The Crew as fast-paced racing.
