Heh, it's kinda funny how that gif in the OP kinda looks like Cyberpunk 2077, especially that daytime shot. With all the awesome destruction I think it actually holds up pretty well compared to what we saw of the city in Cyberpunk. Obviously Cybeprunk will propably have some higher resolution textures and be technically more advanced, but it doesn't look much worse in that shot!
I suspect it's another game, like SoD2, that will look totally fine on X or PC, and get complaints from base xbox players
all trailers have been too close up, these views make the game feel grander

I don't think they're pared back really. More so they don't want you making the platforming useless by leveling the city. As well as being playable offline, of course.
Cyberpunk manages a beautiful world with a lot of life in it tho. Big difference with Crackdown.
Still, the 'looks like a 360 game' noises should be gone now. This does in no way look like a 360 game.
Given the games we've seen over the past couple of years, I just don't think Crackdown can compete with them, visually speaking.
And I think it's weird that Microsoft(previously) or rather Xbox Fans(now) try to push this game into the role of a visual showcase.

I'm not sure I understand people saying it looks like a last gen game. I can see the art style not being for everyone, but it looks really sharp.
Looking forward to giving it a play! Even if it ends up not being great, i'll download it on Game Pass just to mess around with a new Crackdown game for a bit.

Let's all be fair. This game is not going to win any awards for its visuals. But it doesn't look as bad as most people are suggesting it does. There is some middle ground, you know.
I think it's more so aimed at the people going "lol, 360 game" or "I can make this in dreams". etc.
There are still people in this thread calling this a last gen game lol. Your trolling is transparent.
Yeah, but thats kinda my point. Because this game has been advertised as a technical showcase early on and because this game comes out in an environment where Xbox's marketing focusses a lot on power (and by extension that means visuals), because of all that the game is faced with unfair expectations towards its visuals. And in return its met with exaggerated negative statements about its visuals, because thats how things work in this day and age apparently, stuff is either great or shit.
Its an average looking game, definitely not showing any AAA production values when it comes to visuals, and thats okay. It would be a non-issue for most games.
But not for Crackdown 3...
GTA V and The Last of Us were last gen. Not really seeing anything more impressive than those, particularly in that view of the rooftops screencap a few posts above. The city looks so empty and lifeless.
It is a technical showcase though, in it's multiplayer. I've taken a look at Red Faction, and nothing I see compares to the level of free form destruction found in Wrecking Zone.
I just did lol, and it's all prerendered locations and pieces of the walls that blow up. There's nothing dynamic about it at all. Not to mention most of the debris immediately disappears.
This is what you're comparing to Crackdown 3?

What are AAA looking visuals? I think people often time get stuck on the fact that not every game has to have a hyper realistic art direction is BOTW not AAA because it doesn't look like Red Dead 2?
Jesus, hell no. Let's first see the game do 30fps without any issues. Judging by preview footage that seems fine, sadly in this b roll footage judder is clearly visible. But I'm starting to believe I'm the only one seeing it. I'm just a little worried and fuck it I don't want to be worried about that because I look forward a lot to playing around in that city.
You mean how in the previous games enemies would get thrown backwards more when you punched and kicked them? That definitely seems toned down compared to that. The game is crazy, so I would like for baddies to start flying when I kick them.
Excuse my god damn french, but all I see is old gen. That visuals are not even comparable with tons of old generation games. Sad thing is, the first version of C3 was more great than this.
Superb...
What first version of C3 though?
That's good. That's not to bad. I might just go digital with this then so I can do the multiplayer on PC when I don't have access to live.

The same goes for crackdown. It's nowhere near the first footage and it's impossible to destroy the whole building, foundation can't be destroyed.

There's almost no aliasing in those images. Although I wish they used the comic book shader on more than the characters.Excuse my god damn french, but all I see is old gen.

You mean the tech demo? Aye, so that's not the final game, that doesn't mean the tech wasn't used. You can still bring entire buildings down, you need to simply aim for the foundations. The very base of the buildings are indestructible, yes.
Also, nice goalpost shifting.

There's nothing else doing what CD3 is :) Wonder if DICE will use the tech for a Bad Company successor
What are you talking about? CD3 is no where near scripted as bad company destruction. It's all run in real time via cloud processing. All the debris and pieces react in real time to damage and interact with one another. Nothing like in bad company
Small detail - have we seen any impact damage from an agent falling in any of the trailers or footage? In the first game when an agent lands from a high fall there is a very satisfying impact crunch on the floor and a texture alpha swap.
Snoopy, nice. One one the worst and toxic Xbox fanboys on twitter. Good call.
That looks so clean.
I'm definitely playing Crackdown, but I would hope if there isn't a 4th game MS would still work with Sumo Digital on a game that has this crisp clean, cell shaded aesthetic.
