Official Thread Crackdown 3
- Thread starter The Wolf King
- Start date
That is the worst tweet for a game, ever.
It's the PR equivalent, of getting a friend to call you so as you can be sure you haven't missed a call from a boy.
Thirsty!
For real. How about one damn screen shot? Something.
I'm anticipating a facelift. The cel shaded stuff on the 360 was surprisingly pleasant to look at but I don't believe that look is mainstream. Projecting a more hyper-realistic facelift. My gut feeling is MS is going for a home run with Crackdown this time.
Wondering if they'll sneak in any PhysX effects since they're already running the general physics off the cloud. It would something if they unveiled some next level visual stuff with this game.
I really hope that is the case. This game has immense potential and I loved the first one.
There will be some level of local physics, if for no other reason that it still needs to work offline or with a slow connection. Anything that requires immediate interaction will be done locally
They seem confident. Wasn't too long ago MS execs were still touting fully destructible city. Sounds like the cloud is still in play.
So are they going to give us a release date at E3 or what? If i don't see some Crackdown 3 running on Scorpio i'm gonna be upset.
I decided to watch that 2015 demo again. I think Crackdown is the most important game for MS since Halo 2. Not saying it'll be great. Just that a lot is riding on it. If it succeeds, we could start seeing Cloudengine powered stuff in other 1st and 2nd party games. Cloudengine could be a game changer for dynamic worlds.
Crackdowns vibrant city in 4K with those physics could be a showstopper. Just hope they fix those janky animations. They always stood out as the biggest technical weakness of the past games and they especially stood out in that demo.

This is why it's been my most anticipated game since it was announced.
There is so much potential there.....but also a LOT of 'ifs.'
Agreed but if the devs can deliver on half their "ifs" we're in for a memorable experience.
was excited at the announcement of 3 but gradually realized that this will be online focused and with the recent talk from P3 about single player story based games not where it's at in comparison to online. i think I'll be giving it a miss.
that's what was good about the 1st one in that you had to find them, the main reason i did not like the 2nd as much was because they show the orbs on the map.
All Crackdowns have Campaign and multiplayer. Its been standard for over a decade now. TBH an open world game in 2017 without online multiplayer is inexcusable as Crackdown 1 & 2, Saints Row, Fable, Red Dead and others have done it for years. It would also be a considerable step back, in terms of functionality.

Horizon is open world as is Zelda along with the Witcher. no multiplayer and all the better for it. so enough of this inexcusable crap.
you appear to confuse co-op Crackdown with this new multiplayer crackdown 3. not even close to being the same thing.
the more I hear about the latest talk from P3, the more I realise Scorpio is not going to be worth the asking price.
oh well, back to open world single player on Pro.

Horizon is unfinished and Nintendo is Nintendo...behind the times in features. The Witcher indeed offline and is a worse game for it. Cyberpunk will have it...so future witcher games can't not have it. Its unsurprising why The Division, Watchdogs and GTA (and soon RDR2) have the legs they do.
Standards rise and those that don't rise to meet them get left behind.
Crackdown 3 has the same modes as 2. Online co-op and multiplayer. Thats the good thing about finished games. Play alone. Play co-op. Play competitive. Anything less is a step backwards.Especially when games from years ago already did it

But hold on.....
Surely C3 still offers a story/single player mode? I mean i greatly enjoyed Crackdown 1's campaign and to this day i still prefer SP games. I'm fine with a big focus on online, but there still is a story mode with missions etc, right? I recall a report that the MP was done a while ago and that they were starting work on the story mode.
not true at all.
one of the best games ever made and people are raving about how it improves on open world.
again, another game people rave about.
my take from this is that you're rather clueless about gaming in general and even more so about single player gaming given your thought above. quite bizarre actually.
that has nothing to do with what i'm talking about.
indeed they do, but your judgement on standards is totally off going by your thoughts on Witcher, Horizon and Zelda. all games that are widely acknowledged to have taking the genre forward.
P3 is going away from story based single player, so in your eyes... a step backwards. in my eyes, a reason to not buy Scorpio.
you saw what happened to Titanfall without story mode, fixed in Titanfall 2.
Of course it does. Yungstar is complaining that a game that has always shipped with a full campaign and multiplayer still maintains these decade old standards. Might as well complain that Forza has splitscreen racing.
In that case I have nothing to worry about. Bring us all the things that made 1 so good, add a few new features and make sure the shooting mechanics and driving are on point and the missions fun and I will be happy.
I recall that a while ago they said the MP portion was finished and that they initially were planning on releasing the MP first and later the SP and then decided to release it as a complete package instead. Can't wait to see what it looks like now. Hopefully the reason they don't show a single thing is because they want to go all out during E3.

Well when the sequel has it you'll be hearing from me.
Im sure it improves Zelda, open world? Well you'd have to demonstrate how.
My take is that you think campaign only is somehow better than campaign + multiplayer, when the latter has everything the former has.
GTA4 & 5, Red Dead, Minecraft, The Division and Watchdogs and Assassins Creed all reaffirm it though.
lol. It's the usual Xbox Standard, feature complete is the term and it's not a new thing. Our story based games will also have robust multiplayer... been a fact since 2002.
Can't agree what Yung star says about not buying Scorpio. If you prefer Xbox as a platform which I sure do, you get to play the multiplatform games the best they can perform and look. A damn good enough reason already. Some would argue you can add 4K Blu-ray Player to that as well.
Especially noticed this on gaf but all of a sudden power doesn't seem to matter anymore. I perfectly remember all the posts when PS4 came out and it had the edge over Xbox One, lol. Ah well, it always goes like that.
