I loved to play that game years ago.

Same, picked it up on a whim a few months before the shutdown, couldn’t put it down. They got the tone perfectly, and the map is really good, and their progression system actually requires you to play the game. It felt magical, like a NFS World sequel of my dreams, the only downside was trying to set up steering properly.
Then i tried the crew 2, and haven’t tried it since, just doesn’t feel as good.

I'm surprised there's no source code available. You think that would be a no brainer move after the original servers shut down. 😅

Its ubisoft my guy, these days its an achievement for them to do something that isnt a disappointment .

Ubisoft didn’t do this. It’s a community project.

I think he means that Ubisoft might try to sue the project

You don’t think they’re going to anyway?

Honestly that’s a valid assumption, but I still have some faint of naivity that they won’t whilst the code is closed source and the devs don’t plan to include donation pages

Shit sorry should have clarified, i meant that ubisoft would never release the source code. I would not be surprised if pierre cochon, world famous ubisoft dev #3352 got shot at gunpoint for even suggesting that

This is awesome to hear! I may spin it up this weekend just to check it out.
