I'm sorry but I don't know what to think of this. I know it's an old build but this does not make me want to run out and get an XOX when it becomes available. I guess I'll just withhold judgement until closer to release date.
Yeah. they keep showing the old build. They're giving people mixed messages here.
It feels like an amateur effort in getting information and media out here. Pretend you've done this s*** before.
Yeah, I loved both Crackdowns and will more than likely get this but nothing has blown me away about this game yet.I love CD, and I'll be getting it no matter what. But I have to agree, for anyone that hasn't played the game yet that is maybe considering it, or maybe buying an X1X to play it....the gameplay videos so far haven't been great.
Hoping they show something 'wow' worthy at Gamescom, or at least before launch.
And why are they waiting to show MP?
Bruh, slow your roll. Damn. The entire world just collapsed in this post. The game hasn't been released yet. Still months to go. I agree the showing of it right now leaves a lot to be desired but, there's still time for a solid release.Just saw the streams. I'm embarrassed for Microsoft's execs who are responsible for 1st party and feel bad for the developers. Honestly Crackdown would've been fine releasing early in 2018 as a sequel to Crackdown and nothing more. This game is breaking due to its hype and the promises that it would change gaming. I truly believe if Microsoft still believed the multiplayer would achieve the lofty hype they originally gave it, we would've seen it by now.
I just think Sumo is over their head. This really isn't their fault. They're AA developers who aren't known for face melting graphics or technical wizardry but they have to deal with this hype Microsoft created and now the backlash that MS is deservedly getting. If Microsoft would've waited until this year to show the game and not hyped it to be the 2nd coming and be the only exclusive launching same day as the X, people would be fine with it. I'd be fine with it.
It doesn't look like a $60 game though. It looks like a game that either needs to be a budget release like a Recore or they need to delay it a year. It can't be a $60 AA game after all the hype. It looks buggy and glitchy and like the graphics and physics have only made modest imporovemnts from the game that released over a decade ago.
Worst of all, crackdown shows that Microsoft is still lost with 1st party. From original concept of what a sequel should look like 10 years later to execution to marketing. It all sucks. Microsofts entire 1st party is becoming a meme. Not just Crackdown. Some of that isn't fair as they've done some good things early this gen but public perception is really poor in that area and these marketing bozos aren't helping.
If Crackdown ends up living up to any of it's billing, the entire Xbox marketing and PR team needs to be fired. Why would they not lead with the multiplayer if it's doing what they originally hyped? Why are they showing broken, ugly builds of the game if this game will look much better at release.Bruh, slow your roll. Damn. The entire world just collapsed in this post.

Developers are saying the game is looking much better but Microsoft goes out and brings in celebs who don't know how to hold a controller to demo a glitchy, ugly build. Honestly I thought this stream was much worse than the E3 demos...partially because of how it was being played but also because it was buggier and even more washed out visually.
Its the same as E3A bunch of gameplay vids at the link, but the build appears to be the same as E3...? SP and same area I think.

If you look at Phil's twitter he has acknowledged this and says it will be addressed at Gamescon
Nothing they have shown has looked as good as this b-roll footage imo

If the game looks like that, I think the graphics are fine. Not going to win any best graphics award, but they are fine. I would argue the world is a bit bland and lacking in density in terms of objects/NPCs though when compared to SSOD or GTAV.
I think the footage looked great, visually. Lots more detail, explosions etc. If the game play can hold up and they can deliver on the MP, this game will do well. Cant lie though; what they've shown so far will hurt potential sales. That's really unfortunate.Cutting the ink outline to 50-75% off that would go a long way.

I haven't had a D-List celeb forced down my throat so much, since Jessica Simpson started acting.
Oh lord. The tried watching the IGN SDCC interview, but I sprained my eyes from rolling them too much.

Attaching some random dude as the face of your game is Hella desperate. And I still have no idea who he is. (I think he is the Old Spice guy?)
Posted today....hmmm.
