My backlog of games I want to buy just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

Crackdown 3 Delay: “It’s The Campaign We Are Doubling Down On Now”
Crackdown 3 will not be launching this year, instead having been delayed into 2017. Last week, Microsoft’s Aaron Greenberg pointed out that this was partially the result of Microsoft having enough games in its portfolio now that they felt comfortable spacing out their releases- and today, Microsoft Studios general manager Shannon Loftis told Game Informer that another reason contributing to the delay was the studio doubling down to get the campaign done, so that it could launch in the same general timeframe as the much vaunted multiplayer mode.
“Development has been going incredibly well,” Loftis said. “To be honest, because we obviously have this Crackdown online mode and then we also have the traditional Crackdown campaign, which has multiplayer online. But we want to launch our online beta so that it’s not too far in advance of the complete campaign. It’s actually the campaign that we’re doubling down on now.
“We’ve got internal play sessions every week for Crackdown online. We’re starting now to get the campaign in,” she added. “Building these open world games is both challenging and a blast, because you have to build all of the systems that interact together. Before you get to the point where you can actually experience what the game feels like and can start building your missions and telling your stories.”
Loftis promised that the campaign will be worth the wait, and that it will be “most fully featured campaign we’ve ever done”- though of course, something on that scale comes with its own set of development and debugging challenges.
“Depending on what you choose to destroy in the environment, there will be massive, big reactions all over the city,” she said. “Gangs will get together against you. This is the first time we’ve ever had something like that.”
All said and done, I am okay with the delay if that means that we get a better game in the end- and it is good to see Microsoft coming around to this way of thinking, too. Will Crackdown 3 be worth the hype? Who can tell, until the game has released? What we can definitively say is that Microsoft will have made every attempt possible to ensure the developers have all the resources they need for making the game.
Crackdown 3 is due out on Xbox One and Windows 10 PCs next year.

Were Crackdown games big sellers? Sounds like a lot of moolah is being thrown into this game...
I heard it was delayed for the campaign. Then i heard Aaron Greenberg said it's delayed because of the packed Fall lineup. Who knows, who cares. Just give me a great game.
The original sold 400K month 1 in the US and topped a global million within a month, this was early 2007 when there were about 12-13 million 360's so it did well enough for a new IP on a relatively small userbase. It hit 2 million after a few months (5 or 6) which is serviceable. RealTimeWorlds got too involved with MMO APB and perished and did not want to abandon it when MS asked them to do a CD2, CD2 then got passed to Ruffian in early 2009 who did a pretty decent sequel (IMO, im in a minority on that one) in late 2010, it didn't sell as well, but who knows where it ended up.
CD3 is more a passion project for Phil Spencer because he likes them so much.
Not sure of the point, even with a Zen CPU, there's not enough local power in scorpio to match the levels the cloud provides in CD3....but absoloutely, MS should market CD3's physics demos for scorpio because the general masses would just assume it's because the machine is oh so powerfuble.

It would still benefit greatly from Scorpio though, as the machine still does a lot locally. The cloud handles the bulk of the physics.
Also it looks like CD 1 and 2 are coming to BC sometime in the near future.
Haha. Not so much - not yet. It's getting there though. One more delay and I'd be inclined to agree.
Ha. Its funny back in OG Xbox gen, a game that took 2 years was considered ambitious and 3 years was practically development hell. Now 2 years is considered quick and 3 the norm. More than 4 years....best start looking for work elsewhere.
Better than getting canceled altogether though.
Greatness Awaits. If there's one good thing to come of recent news it's that more people understand that motto now. Rome wasn't built in a day.
I really hope this game makes it. And more importantly I hope its as good as I think it can be. I want a robust campaign with co-op. I don’t care much for competitive multiplayer but I think it’ll be there so that’s good for those looking for it. But one of the most important things to get right in this game will be the design of the city. Level design will be crucial in bringing back that fun feeling of super jumping our way around. Ohhh, and transformable vehicles. If that’s left out the game is dead to me.
Should be the best co-op game this generation if it makes it. Always fun to mess around with friends in an open world destructible environment.

Just make it like Crackdown 1 on digital, graphical and gameplay speed, crack and methamphetamines. That is all. Thank you.
