It is no secret, especially if you're a regular here, Test Drive Unlimited has always had a special place in our hearts at Gamersyde. Because it was more a driving game than a racing game per se, because there was much conviviality and fun in its concept and it brought about the very idea of free riding in a huge open environment, we all enjoyed the game a lot, even though it was not perfect by any means. So when Ivory Tower - a studio composed mainly of the original dev team behind TDU – decided to unveil The Crew, we were pretty darn excited to say the least. We knew the developers were working on something ambitious and what little confidential info we managed to get in the past 5 years made us quite eager to discover what they had in store for us. E3 2013 came as the opportunity to talk freely to the team and try the game for the very first time, so here are our first impressions of Ivory Tower's title.

If we were to take a wild guess, that's probably in reference to DayZ, the Arma 2 mod that gained massive popularity and is due out this year as a standalone game. "OP Productions initially filed The War Z trademark early last year, but soon found out from the United States Patent and Trademark Office that the name was comparable to another property," the statement says. "After months of trying to resolve the issue, OP Productions decided the best option to avoid confusion among players was to rename the game. Current players will not experience any change or interruption with the exception of the change in name and game logo." The War Z launched on Steam on December 17, but was quickly removed for advertising inaccurate game elements. The War Z re-launched on Steam in February.Continue reading The War Z is now 'Infestation: Survivor Stories' The War Z is now 'Infestation: Survivor Stories' originally appeared on Joystiq on Wed, 19 Jun 2013 23:59:00 EST.
