    We all now that The Crew is coming to Xbox One, PS4, PC and Xbox 360. So which platform is going to be your choice? Are you going to play it on PC or any other console?

    I only have a PS3 and don't plan on getting any new consoles soon so I'm pretty much left out. Though, I might just get a used 360 just for kicks or if not I'd probably just get a gaming PC for maximum value. More or less I'd probably be choosing between those two, but this game really won't be the one to sway me either way.

    Definitely on the PC. I've read that there will be an option to play on 60fps and I recently got my new computer so I can't wait to test the game out on a high-end PC. My monitor is also way better than my TV so I'd also be getting better graphics on the PC. My final reason is that my PS3 is not connected to LAN so I don't think it will handle multiplayer very well in my house.

    I'm still not 100 percent sure I'm getting this game to be honest, I'll probably wait for a sale or price drop. If and when I get it I will get it for PS4 though. I don't own a high-end PC, so the PS4 is the only thing I can play this on.

    I will be getting it on the PC, I was lucky enough to be able to try the beta key released by NVIDIA. With a decent enough GPU (I'm using GTX 850M), I was able to hit 60fps with little framerate drop and beautiful game quality.

    I can't say the same for consoles as I've yet to try them, but the PC graphics quality is definitely stellar.

    That's good to hear, I've myself got a slightly better card (I believe) so I guess I'll also be able to hit 60 fps! The choice is definitely made now, PC is the way to go for me

    I'll probably go for Xbox One if I get the game. I prefer my racing games on consoles, regardless of the whole 30 fps vs. 60 fps debate. I'm not sold on this game yet, though.

    If I end up buying it, I'll pick the PC version because that's where I'm playing more nowadays, but I'm still thinking about it.

    Since I have XB1, then I'll be playing it on that. I don't have a PC, and am not sure if I could get used to using a mouse and keys, but the graphics are always better on them. But, I love my box and I can't wait to play this game on it.

    Just FYI, XBOX controllers work on your PC too so if you ever want to try out gaming on a PC you can just plug the thing in and it should work (might need some drivers perhaps). Don't be afraid of using mouse and keys, you can always go back to your controller. I've been using a cheap logitech one and ever since my laptop has become a movable PS2-emulator!

    If I do get the game I'm definitely getting it for PC. I switched to PC gaming a while back and I can't stand the downsides to using consoles, though I probably will be using a game pad for the game, mouse and keyboard just doesn't work well with racing games.

    I think this is the best way to go about it so you get the best of both worlds. I don't like playing racing games on my keyboard either so I totally understand, and I've been getting more and more convinced that PC is the way to go as well.

    It's also cheaper if in the long run if you wait for sales. game keys are often very cheap so you won't have to pay the full 60 (or more) bucks to play a game. The hardware might be a bit more expensive at first but it will definitely pay for itself in a couple of years. If you're not scared of technology and like fooling around with it a bit then buying a PC is the way to go, especially if you're going to build it by yourself

    Thanks for the encouragement. I have been shopping around for parts recently and I have some experience with taking apart computers so I'm not too apprehensive about it. I agree that it really does seem like the better option especially after having seen the prices at Steam and the other venues that offer special discounts.

    I'll probably buy it for the PC if my final decision is to buy it. I like PC gaming more than anything else and therefore I would buy the game for the PC. I also think that the game can run a little smoother on the PC than on any other platform (don't really know about that, but don't shatter my ignorance :D).

    PC. My PC is fully decked out with good parts (I built it myself) and I will be able to run it in really high quality. However, with the 30 FPS problem remaining, I don't even think I will get the game until they change it to 60 FPS or unlimited.

    I'll play it on my Xbox 360. I don't have a PC good enough to run it and I also don't like playing games on PC, on the consoles is more fun and easier to play with the specific controller.
