Looks pretty bad, IMO. Looks so much like the first one that if you told me it was a remaster I would believe you. Animations suck, it retains the awful lock on aiming, there is limited to no destruction present in the video, and overall this just feels like a low budget jankfest
Lock On Aiming is what made CD unique. It is more of a platformer than a shooter.

Look better than i expected, but i wasnt expecting too much anyway. Will definitely try on Gamepass.

MP looks like dog doo and i probably wont give it a chance.

Looks fine to me. You can even watch it on 4K on the player.

Just reloaded it and put it at 4K again and it looks better. I'm not sure what happened the first time I watched it, it seems like it failed to load the 4K stream even though the little red 4K button was on.

This game just doesn't pass the eye test for me. It's one of those games I want to like, and want to give a pass, but the footage pushed out for consumer consumption does little to help me along in that process...

Interestingly it was one the the reasons the first game got a demo, they said it didn't screenshot well. Everyone who played the demo became hooked, so it worked!

The jet pack is cool though.
It's going to be an absolute blast to play.

I loved the first one, so if it actually plays better than it demos in video form, I'll pick it up. The world states vs hero save is awesome for co op as well.

Even though I know this thread is about to go to shit, I will say (before it does) that this looks really, really good! Bring on Feb!

I recommend watching the video in 4K.

The game looks incredibly crisp. You can definitely tell art style massively profits from the native 4K + anti-aliasing solution rendering.

Also, nice to see some ReCore influence in the game. That's Staten :)

Looks pretty rough. However, I am rooting for this game. I hope it ends up being really good.

I really liked what I just saw. I was one of the most vocal negative negative people when they last showed single player in 2017. This looks much better. Fun gamey game. Nothing else like it out there right now.

Looks ok at best. I'll give it a shot with the gamepass. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother. Gameplay and animations looks rough and outdated especially considering the development time.

Klob you were right, the game looks very much improved. I'm glad it's on game pass too..the mp should benefit from that..will definitely have a huge community.

1,000 Orbs like I teased a few weeks ago. Better level up your platform and hunting skills! ;)

Crackdown was always a better platformer than action game to me. That black hole gun should make the action sandbox more fun. Agree that characters and objects don't have much weight and that's my biggest complain but it'll still be fun. I'm happy overall with how it turned out vs what I thought in 2017.

That achievement is going to be a pain haha. I never got it in Crackdown 1 because there was one orb I just couldn't find.

I am literally at that same point. It's extremely frustrating

I would hope they would have something you can get later in the game that shows a location or proximity on the map to an orb rather than just running around listening for the orb sound.

why would i want to have different saves with different worlds? i can understand a new game plus but playing for 3 hours then restarting isn't something I'd see myself doing.

When you finished the first game, you were able to revive the enemies, and play through it again with your upgraded Agent (as otherwise there would be no enemies left in the world). This is an extension of that.

Also, nice to see some ReCore influence in the game. That's Staten :)

Yes! It really brought back both Crackdown and ReCore memories, which makes me very happy indeed.

I've been up and down on this game since it was first announced, but I've been on the up for a while because it's looking pretty fun! Looks like Crackdown. And I liked Crackdown.

I'm happy. It's sounds like a great improvement over the campaigns of the previous games.

Can't wait
