While Playground Games’ Forza Horizon series continues to garner acclaim, Ubisoft’s The Crew Motorfest is making waves with a steady stream of updates, actively challenging its established rival in the racing game genre.
Ubisoft recently celebrated April Fools’ Day in a unique way, unveiling a trailer that showcased novel voiceovers for select vehicles in Motorfest. The publisher playfully asserted that “for the first time in history, human voices replace engine sounds.” Though the audio track appeared to be a humorous jest, the “Be Loud by McCarSounds” event has indeed been made available in the game, allowing players to experience this quirky auditory twist.
Beyond the humor, it’s worth noting that Motorfest’s standard engine sounds are remarkably robust; many vehicles, particularly those with powerful V8 engines, deliver an audio experience that often matches or even surpasses what’s found in Forza Horizon 5, a game frequently praised for its sound design.
Furthermore, The Crew Motorfest has seen significant expansions recently, demonstrating Ubisoft’s commitment to the title. These updates include the introduction of a new island to the sprawling archipelago, a host of fresh vehicle additions, thrilling NASCAR races, and a comprehensive track editor, offering players even more ways to engage with the game world.
