as of the 7th of August 2024 in the crew motorfest the year one pass is over this is the last car in the year 1 pass this along with the BMW M3 are the final cars to ever be added to the year one pass so what was it all for two brand new cars the Nissan 240 SX that we have right here we've also got the Nissan Z the brand new car like when I say I'm expecting pitter patter this thing pitters and patters it's so nice this is the brand new Mercedes AMG SL63 the first Mercedes added in five years Josh you are in the new Jeep Gladiator They just added the new best car in the game I'm smoking wait I didn't even know that was possible wait what no oh wait Yik good good good now you know imagine po I'm been thisle man on a different building there's no buildings there oh that's very good I like that there you go we're got that with a Halo light can we wide body it we can wide body it so while I go into the final car in the year one pass the Toyota 2000 GT one of the most iconic JDM cars ever made as it was touted as the beginning of the JDM sports car craze I have to say that or as the JDM audience gets really mad at me so I look I like the car because it's iconic okay he I'm not allowed to not like the car and still respect the fact it's iconic thank you Carrie stephin for becoming a member by the way this thing I'm going to hop into it and talk a bit about the year one pass first of all and well as we customize it I mean as far as cars oh Dam as far as just having cars go right the year one pass was a way for them to add cars those suck but you know I I it's so so inherently intrinsically thank you FL bash tech for the tier one sub inherently the year one pass was good because it added cars right that was one thing that made it good regardless and I can appreciate that there's 25 more cars in the year one pass than there was without them however would we have gotten those 25 cars if the year one pass didn't exist I mean probably right they just be added through a different medium but I think regardless it's undeniable cars good I don't think anyone here is going to complain that we got more cars ooh which mirrors do we go with this one yeah those look nice to be fair this thing's looking quite nice raced I'm not going to lie this thing red it's kind of it's kind of working what is that what are those wait what why can't I get them why can't I get those but with what even are those is that some racing model of this car it looks cool huh okay we can latch that down we can again that seems like a touring version thing there you go ooh e I'm going to go with that no I'm not I'm going to go with that and then on the back I guess hopefully we can get rid of those exhaust cuz those look horrid what the hell is that dude okay I wish there was more body work but I will take the exhaust oh that looks nice oh that looks nice oh that's the one that's the one that is the Toyota 2000 GT let's continue talking about the year one pass so we talked about the fact that look it's just just it's generally good just getting cars yes undeniably but there's three questions I want to pose for the year one pass thinking about it retrospectively question number one why the hell was the look they started this trend where they told us that the year what the year one pass cars would be way earlier at the very beginning now I thought that this was just because it was the first few year one pass cars if you remember way before the game even came out we were told that the first year one pass cars would be the sf9 E the 308 the Nissan Z the S14 the charger red ey Hellcat the Chevrolet chevel the BMW M4 we were told this way before the game even came out but here's the thing I thought that they would give up with that because it was it was good for the for the release up launching up to the game but for some reason what they've been doing during these updates recently is they will just tell us what the year one pass cars are I remember there was one time we didn't know about the Volkswagen ID electric race car right we had no idea that that was going to be the other year one pass car you know how we found out it wasn't in a trailer it wasn't through a teaser it was cuz they released an image of it within an image of it and for this update as well as the update before this and the update before that for some reason the crew just don't want to Market year one pass cars we'll just be told them 4 months before some of them are going to release instead of being given a cool trailer and the thing is did you guys see the trailer for the BMW and the Toyota 200000 GT it was sick [Music] CH who did they get to do this trailer now just imagine if that trailer was the trailer that revealed these cars chat what I I I think I've clearly already biased you but yes or no did did the mest year one pass marketing absolutely suck or was it just me we would never get an interesting tease we would never get a hype trailer we would never get U any reason to get excited about a car we would just be told hey by the way in 4 months the lyan hypers Sport's going to release and then we just sit around and wait for the lyan hypers sport load of nonsense cuz you know what the worst thing is The Crew 2 used to do this so well the crew to used to do this better they used to do it better I don't know if I'm ever going to be able to find examples but I'll just say some the Maserati Alfieri the elite bundle teases they used to do it better and I don't know how this theyed do it so bad here but question number two was the year one pass so if you don't know to give you a figure on it cuz we're not counting discounts here cuz that's technically not the value of it but as you can see and people on Console can verify £40 or well $34.99 if I'm being more accurate yes so to answer that question let's talk about what you get with the year one pass if you buy it right now you will receive only two exclusive cars meaning two vehicles that only you will own as an owner of the year one pass that no one else can own you will then also receive 23 other cars which are purchasable in game for everyone however you will receive them through the purchase of the year one pass at a cheaper rate than buying them with crew credits I yes this being 23 diverse allotment of vehicles which of course don't include one of the biggest hyped ones the Char your Redeye Hellcat that's in the exclusive section the rest of them are all covered in that £35 payment including cars like this the Lotus Amira even though you can buy this car you will get this car for free ingame free if you buy the year one pass with real money five of those cars also unlock playlists so even though again you can buy these cars regularly in game these five cars specifically allow you access to hunigan Liberty Walk Hollywood action and Low Rider versus donk but there's one notable thing I haven't mentioned yet about the year one pass and what it gets you it's early access because minus those five and minus the two exclusives the year one pass also gives you one week early access to the cars now the thing is I've never cared for Early Access being given as value Need for Speed will charge you 20 more to play 3 days early after those 3 days are up what are you left with nothing other than a few cars that you still have to buy in game all 23 other cars other than the ones out this week again there is no Early Access value to buying them now the Early Access value has only been valuable two car at a time for one week at a time but the moment the strikes Wednesday that will have zero value inherently so now I pose the question again chat is the £35 worth the money I don't care about Early Access I want C free yeah I would feel scammed not worth it no no no dot dot dot maybe n not really £20 is worth it okay so that's the thing you can get the Year One on discount and I'd say on discount it's all right it's all right on discount I guess I suppose I guess not as bad I mean sometimes you can pick it up for like £10 when it's on a real big discount or if you buy bought certain additions of the game you get it bundled in and for that 1,000% I mean 205 free cars for playlists unlock it's a no-brainer but with that one answered let me lead on to question three about the year one pass and that one is a bit more meta because it's not really to do with the year one pass should we get a now when I ask that I don't just mean should we get a year two pass technically if we got a year two pass how what needs to change right cuz one the marketing needs a full overhaul for the year one pass there is no reason to ever get excited about the year one pass two will that year one pass bring forward two more only year one pass exclusive cars would a year 2 pass bring forward again two new exclusives only in the year one pass would the year 2 pass obviously would it cost the same amount another £35 bear in mind at that point you'd be paying £35 for two cars or potentially three with the hope that the other 22 are any good cuz I don't know if that price is justifiable it depends how well the year one pass did did the year one pass do big money for them cuz if it did sure maybe they see the justification the cars some of them were really great I love this thing the ly and hypersport one of the best ones in this thing but to really think that there is 70 L oh God there is £70 worth of passs that you can buy yes it'll give you 50 cars I guess I I guess at about £140 per car which is obviously way way cheaper than buying those cars with crew credits however most of those cars you'd get for free anyway it's such a weird worst of Both Worlds cuz if it costs a bunch of money then that sucks because it costs a bunch of money for those two specific cars cuz that's the only exclusive thing in there is the two specific cars but if more cars are exclusive to the year one pass well then you're locking more exclusives behind a bunch of money how on Earth could they give the year 2 pass more value if such a thing was to ever exist which I don't think it will and I hope it won't well that is my take and thoughts on the year one pass retrospective what did you think where do you think it ranks how good was it what are your answers to all of those questions that my friends was essentially the final discussion we're going to have on the year one pass but not the final one on the year one pass cars thank to PO members especially thank to famous members and an insane thank you to Star members we don't have any become a star member and an insane insane top of the top thank you to I members HK I'm going to keep streaming but that's it for the video
