Ubisoft Announces That The Crew Will Come To Xbox 360, But Not Wii U

Today, Ubisoft announced that The Crew is coming on November 11th to Xbox 360 video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, in addition to Xbox One, PlayStation 4 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. Named “Best Racing Game” of E3 2014 by the Game Critics, The Crew is a revolutionary action-driving MMO that takes gamers on a wild ride throughout a massive open world recreation of the United States, full with exciting challenges and populated by other real players.

“It’s Ubisoft’s objective to continue to meet the needs of consumers who have not yet made the move to the new console generation,” said Geoffroy Sardin, senior vice president of sales and marketing, Ubisoft. “The Crew was originally built for the new generation of consoles, but we have always had a desire to make it accessible to as many people as possible. We’re excited to bring The Crew’s same core features, massive scope, mission variety, and overall driving experience to Xbox 360 players.”

Asobo Studio is leading development of The Crew for Xbox 360 with support from the teams at Ivory Tower, Ubisoft Reflections and Ubisoft Shanghai. Ubisoft announced that after the closed beta on PC that took place in July and will resume again on August 25th, a limited number of players will be invited to participate in a closed beta for Xbox One and the PlayStation 4 starting in late September. Exact dates and further details on this closed beta period will be communicated at a later time.

  1. You know what? While we at it, why don’t you simply introduce the tag #BUT NOT WII U next to any future articles like this one? That way it will be so much easier for everyone to find them at one place

    1. That’s not Sickr’s fault. The Crew is coming out on current gen consoles; the Wii U is current gen and it’s not getting it. Seems perfectly fine to me.

        1. Even if you find it ridiculous, I come here for NINTENDO news, games that WILL be released on their consoles, you’re basically wasting my and other nintendo fan’s time by posting articles that are NOT related to Nintendo at all. It’s really getting too much.

          1. Have you ever considered the fact that bringing awareness that the Wii U is not getting these games a potential good thing? Doing so can hopefully spur fans into taking action and asking devs for these games. Even if they say no others will notice that there is demand for such a game (which is why posting a wide variety is important because everyone has different tastes in genres) and may take action.

            1. Give me at least ONE example of Ubisoft ever listening to fans and porting it over to wherever the fanboy voices are loudest. One. If you can’t, your whole comment is irrelevant

              1. Did you even read my entire comment?

                “Even if they say no others will notice that there is demand for such a game (which is why posting a wide variety is important because everyone has different tastes in genres) and may take action.”

                    1. Looks like I got under your nerves kid. It’s okay, keep thinking Ubisoft will waste resources to another platform just because a legion if drones email them

                    2. You have one hell of an angry hardon for ubisoft, even though I never mentioned then until now. I may be commenting on a post about ubisoft, but my comment isn’t just about them. If your head wasn’t up your ass you’d know that.

        2. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

          Agreed…

          This is just proof that they have been corrupted by the Xbot menace just like the Electron Army was…

          Our world is becoming more boring for each year that passes and will continue to do so until the Xboxes are a distant nightmare…

        3. well sickr , can I ask you a favour by listing all the games for which has been announced this year but skipped the Wii U? Personally I think it will be a good overview of games and developers who avoid the Wii U. Now I see some coming and whiging about bringing bad news, but personally there are 90% of these games I don’t want to play and i am sure i am not the only one. Furthermore people will release there is a lot of crap games and won’t be so down after.

          1. I HAVNT PURCHASED A UBISOFT GAME IN 2 GENS RETARDED FUCKING DUALSHOCK MASHER

            ITS CROSS GEN CLUNKY FLOATY CONTROLS GARABGE LIKE ALLLLLL UBISOFT GAMES

            I SUPPORT CUTTING EDGE GAMING NOT THE IDIOT INDUSTRY

    1. Shh, don’t say that, Stranga’s gonna come and tell you to fuck off! We have to say pro-Nintendo stuff:

      The crew sucks big balls I’m glad it’s not coming to Wii u Ubisoft has no good games anyway all their games are DLC rehash shooters at least Nintendo makes awesome games like platformers and Mario and platformers and Mario.

    2. WHY WOULD NINTENDO GIVE A SHIT ABOUTCROSS GEN GARBAGE RUNNING ON A X360 ENGINE LIKE WATCH DOGS DID LOL NINTENDO NEDS TO DAMAGE CONTROL SHIT GRAPHICS AND 30 FRAMES A SECOND WHILST REAL GAMERS PLAY MK8 PIXAR GRAPHICS @ 60 FRAMES

      UBISOFT GAMES ARE CLUNKY 30 FRAMES GARBAGE

        1. the xbox one isn’t selling much better anymore than the wii u and on top of that the wii u has the larger install base… why exactly is it a good decision to bring the game to the XBO but not to the wii u?

          was it a good decision to delay rayman legends to the time of the year where most heavy hitters (GTA 5 among them) are released and subsequently see the game, which certainly deserved better, crash and burn?

          ubisoft have made some ineffably stupid decisions in the past

          they’ve shown that not every shit they take is solid gold so don’t suggest that’s the case

      1. * Less than millions.

        Btw, why should you care? those games were on the Wii U at least be grateful for that.

        Also you shouldn’t blame Ubisoft for the delays, Microsodt has a policy that forces multiplatform games to be realeased around the same time…

        P.S Nintendo delays their games all the time yet you seek to only hate Ubisoft for something that wasn’t even their fault?!?!

          1. Don’t beleive me.

            2011-08-24-why-microsoft-wont-publish-psn-firsts

            “Titles for Xbox 360 must ship at least simultaneously with other video game platform, and must have at least feature and content parity on-disc with the other video game platform versions in all regions where the title is available,”

              1. Wow. Microsoft once again shot themselves in the foot and more fans being outraged. This is the downside of going with the x86 route. All companies are gonna be doing this kind of shady shit to each other while Nintendo hand picks good studios to do crossovers and exclusives that were threw under the bus like Bayonetta and Devil’s Third.

        1. Excuse me but since when did Wii U have less than millions at launch when it was 3+ million by Christmas?

          Microsoft policy my ass because PlayStation should’ve been applied too and get theirs later Oh wait…no its not.

          Delay what? Pikmin 3? That’s like the only few Nintendo games I heard and know they delayed to improve the quality. Look at Watchdogs. Delayed for the same reason, yet still looks like shit compare to what was promised 2 years ago. You can’t punch anyone which is pathetic for a 2014 sandbox/GTA ripoff, the customization is a joke, the choice/consequences system was wasted, driving mechanic blows and story is comparable to Twilight books: its boring.

          1. Zelda U
            Pikmin 3
            Mario Kart 8
            Xenoblade Chrnicles X
            Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze
            Yoshi’s Wooly World

            All Delayed by Nintendo.

            And yeah, Millions of Wii U owners were crying about the delay. The only ones who were crying were social degens like you.

            Plus, shut up. You never even played Watchdogs so how can it be shit. Heh obviously it’s not a shit game since it’s been outselling Mario Kart 8 ;)

            Man you must love being a dumbass!!!

      1. Nintendo is my Blood

        That was damage control? Go figure, I just don’t like racing games and that counts as damage control?

        You so cray cray

        1. But weren’t you excited for Mario Kart right?!

          And just because you’re not into racing games doesn’t mean that they’re bad. Sounds like damage control to me.

          1. Nintendo is my Blood

            Mario Kart was an exception, or are you claiming that Mario Kart is the same thing as Forza? I doubt it but what do you think?

              1. Nintendo is my Blood

                It is but not the same thing as a RACING game

                If all racing games had guidance tracking shells or boomerang flowers, maybe I would play them

          2. You can say I’m “damage controlling” when I say this:

            I’m not getting this, even on PS4, for three reasons:

            1. Its Ubisoft and fuck them
            2. This is yet another racing game this year a lot like Forza, NFS, Project Cars, Gran Turismo and such that hardly offers any significant fun factor or difference. Its another open world racer and I rather buy Burnout Paradise for that.
            3. Mario Kart 8. Nuff said.

          3. Comparing Apples and Oranges don’t work here, especially if its comparing Forza, a popular racing sim, to Mario Kart, a popular go kart racing with features that blurs the line between other racers.

            Nice try.

  2. Fuck man, if Unisoft is porting it over to seventh gen why can’t it at least bring it to PS3?! The 360 HAS to be the only 7th gen console I don’t own :’/

    1. RUNNING ON X360 ENGINE CROSS GEN GARBAGE LIKE WATCH DOGS EVERY PS4 GAME IS CROSS GEN GARBAGE LOL WHO GIVES A SHIT ABOUT X360 ENGINE GAMES RUNNING AT 30 FRAMES

      VS PIXAR KART 8 AT 60 FRAMES UBISHIT ARE A JOKE WATCH DOGS PS4 HAS GARBAGE GRAPHICS AND SHIT FRAERATE AND CLUNKY FLOATY CONTROLS

    2. Ubishit’s way of thinking, priority and fanbase respect is so shit right now so I ain’t gonna bother with any of their garbage if I were you. 360 still charges for free online and has that paywall BS.

      1. Just becouse it sold 80 million units doesnt mean it has an installed base of 80 million. It would probably be closer to 40 million, which is still pretty good though. Sorry, just wanted to clarify.

  3. Not again…I’m having second thoughts on purchasing a Wii U. Well PS4 is always an alternative. I guess Wii U is a Nintendo exclusive box but I need those third-party titles.

    1. Wii U is best for exclusives, not just Nintendo’s but they are unique crossovers coming. PS4 will only be legitimately good by 2015 because I see nothing else for the system this year besides GTA5, Destiny, LittleBigPlanet 3.

      1. And how so when millions wanted ZombiU sequel, Rayman and Watchdogs for launch and Ubisoft just took it away knowing the demand and fanbase is there? Now its no longer existent thanks to Ubishit screwing them over.

        Try again troll.

      2. That is why so many companies are going out of business right now. Anyways been playing video games before Ubisoft existed….

  4. @sickr, is there anyway you can fix this comment section to login in post only? I’m sure you, along with the other moderators, are tired of the trolls and unproductive, off topic, offensive comments they write.

    1. Trust me. It wouldn’t make a damn difference. They tried that a few times before and they still turned away. Wii U should’ve resolved ALL of Nintendo’s past mistakes with third parties regarding disc format/storage space, hardware power and PC-like architecture and still nothing but bitching and excuses from 3rd parties.

      1. Tell me something. Working with EA, how did that turn out when they snapped over Nintendo rejecting Origin but not Sony when they say their Origin services aren’t fair? How about Bethseda when they lied through their teeth about Wii U hardware and compatible engines when they made a Metro Last Light demo working in 2012 E3? What about Ubisoft pointlessly delaying Rayman from launch when it was the starting point of the fanbase turning away all for nothing when they finally launched it and lost many sales thanks to GTA5 or WB gimping Arkham Origins or the studios that gimped 90% of Sniper Elite 2 for Wii U and tried to sell it for $60, 60 fucking dollars?!

        Like the hell Nintendo would allow this BS half-ass porting jobs they’re doing just to make Wii U a bad name from the beginning.

  5. I’m probably picking it up for PS4, so no biggie. But I must say, this is the reason I rarely check in on mytrolltendonews these days. The other Nintendo fansites are covering games that’s actually coming out for Nintendo hardware. So I guess this is a goodbye – I’ll get my Wii U kicks somewhere else.

    Yeah, I know. It probably won’t mean much. One reader leaving you behind isn’t a big deal. Just wanted you to know that this schtick is getting old.

    Take care!

            1. No. Beware of your day of sheer pain and death coming. Karma is looking for you and I promise your ugly racist ass, its not gonna be pretty nor you’ll last long enough to suffer.

    1. Ubisoft was supporting it the most out of any third party. Besides, the Wii U isn’t theirs to sabotage. Nintendo has done a bang up job on that front.

  6. CONFIRMED UBISHIT STILL USING LAST GEN X360 ENGINE ON CROSS GEN GARBAGE GAMES WITH SHITTY 30 FPS FRMERATES

    GARBAGE GRAPHICS GARBAGE CONTROLS GARBAGE FRAMERATES VS MARIO KART 8S PIXAR GRAPHICS AT 60 FRAMES

  7. WHO THE FUCK BUYS UBISOFTS GARBAGE DOGSHIT CLUNKY FLOATY CONTROLS 30 FRAMES GAMES LOL AND THIS CONFIRMS ITS A X360 GAME HIGHER RESSED ON PS4 CROSS GEN GARBAGE

  8. Hey Sickr you faggot why Dont you also write that THE EVIL WITHIN isnt coming to Wii U, but coming out on Ps3, Xbox 1,ps4 and Xbox 360

    Freaking dickless faggot

  9. Anubis, nostalgiaww was literally laughing at the death of Robin Williams. Sasori agreed with him, as did his asshole, Church of Sasori, and Grape Ape posted: Robin Williams? Why not Iwata. I kid you not.

    1. I know. All of them deserve to die, not Robin and its exactly why Robin had depression in the first place, dealing with pricks all his life before he became famous and even during fame, he still struggled with his aftermath.

  10. I guess this article is fair game, if you ask me. It’s nice to know that the company wich i supported, bought child of light, assasins creed black flag, the fitness one, isnt supporting my console anymore.

  11. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

    The fact that it’s not even coming to the PS3 which is superior in every way just like the PS4 is to the Xbox Done is proof that the Ubisians have been infected by the Xbot disease that continues to thrive in the cerebros of the slaves…

  12. Honestly? I do NOT give a flying fuck about the three way hate war. I own a Wii, and 3DS, as well as some Gamecube games, SNES games and an N64. As you can clearly see, I do not own any Playstation or Xbox. But I also don’t own a Wii U. What does that tell you about me?

  13. Honestly – it truly bites. The Crew would be an amazing fit for the Wii U – especially considering Nintendo systems typically have a lack of these realistic-racers, and seeing that I’m a racing fan, it bites even harder.

    If they want to bring it to as many people as possible then Wii U should be included in that, as well as PS3.

  14. Is stupid to see how this site post news about games that wont be in wii u, this site is called Mynintendonews, and not “Everything but not Wii U”….

    There are a lot of good Nintendo news webs that post just nintendo news and not “Everything but not Wi U” news… I like this web site and that is the reason that make me say this…

    “one fucking game will be out soon, but not wiiu??” NOBODY CARES

    1. Nintendo Commander Quadraxis

      The irony is that most of us do care in some way or form…

      This is not happy hippie lala land where everything is a joyful potsmoking ignorant place…

      1. didnt you understand? it is not a nintendo news… :v

        is just talking about a game that is not coming to wii u…

  15. Pingback: Ubisoft announces that the crew will come to xbox 360

  16. “The Crew was originally built for the new generation of consoles, but we have always had a desire to make it accessible to as many people as possible.”

    BULL SHIT!!! Fuck YOU UBISOFT!! I Hate YOU the MOST!

    1. That’s exactly what they said about Watchdogs and look at it now. Its a POS “next gen” lie that even GTA4 and Saints Row puts that crap to shame.

  17. PlayStation fans will defend anything HAVE YOU SEEN EA GAMES PATHETIC LINE UP AND BATTLEFIELD IS NOW A GAME ABOUT RED NECKS

    ITS GETTING BEYOND A FUCKING JOKE RETARDED CLUNKY GAMES

  18. FUK PROJECT CARS ITS MORE THIRD PARTY BUTT HURT INDUSTRY TRASH DELIBERATELY LATE ON WIIU AINT SUPPORTING IT

    30 FRAMES A SECOND AND CHEAP PORTED TO WIIU NO THANKS LIKELY HAS SHITTY CONTROLS TOO

    THE INDUSTRY HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY WII ITS 80% SMALLER THAN LAST GEN THERE BUTT HURT AND ARE TO SCARED TO SAVE THEMSELVES WITH MASSIVE INNOVATIONS ON GAMEPAD ANS WII REMOTE PLUS

    THEY WANT IT TO STAY THE SAME FOR EVER LIKE PS1 ITS PATHETIC

    THIRD PARTYS ARE MEN IN SUITS HIRING INTERNS FROM COLLAGE WORKING ON SHITTY MIDDLEWARE ENGINES MAKING CLUNKY GARBAGE

    THE INDUSTRY HAS ALREADY CRASHED AND WILL CRAsh again next year wake the fuck up nintendo has them by the balls

    CLUNKY GAMES WITH CLUNKY OUT DATED CONTROLS ON CROSS GEN DEVELOPMENT PATHETIC

  19. sasori obi the kenpachi puppet master

    glad i got a xbox 360 recently. been having fun playing gta v and battman arkham city.

  20. I’ve played the beta, and the car controls feel like Watchdogs. IE: Very bad.

    But with that criticism out of the way, this is NOT good for Nintendo. Nintendo needs to be going to these publishers and developers and convincing them to port their games to the system.

    You can not care about The Crew, or Watchdogs, or whatever… but the bottom line is, they well. Just like crappy Call of Duty, they sell systems, even if the games are mediocre at best.

    A system without third party support will always suffer. Look at the Vita, or the Wii U, or the Gamecube, or the Saturn. Without a broad library of games… not just 1st and 2nd party titles… a system can’t get on top.

    I love the Wii U. It’s a fantastic piece of kit. But Nintendo really let it down, and I don’t see enough change to think this software issue will get better anytime soon, even if Nintendo has ramped up 1st party game production.

    1. “Without 3rd party, systems will always suffer” …it seems Nintendo portables have done just fine without them and the only few reasons Vita failed because of its lack of ads, expensive memory cards, lack of original games at first and nothing but gimped PS3 ports.

  21. When are you gonna stop posting articles about games that aren’t coming to Wii U? That’s not Nintendo news. It would be Nintendo News if it was a game series that normally appears on Nintendo Consoles, let’s say Assassins Creed (since 2 came to Wii U), and a game in that series doesn’t come to Wii U (Unity) THAT Would be worth reporting. Not this.

  22. Translation:
    Xbox One has not met the sales expectations, so we’ll be bringing the game to last generation Xbox.
