I'll remind you again, the same was said for Hearthstone, and clearly there is more to that story.

A True Racing MMORPG

We only had a brief fifteen minute demo and interview with the dev team (both going on at once) to get a feel for the driving and general overview of The Crew. There are 3rd person and first person driver's seat views, and there's a good chance that Oculus Rift and Sony's own VR will be supported down the line. Racing games, along with FPS titles, are ideal for that kind of headgear, in my eyes. This is one to watch, folks.
