Everyone is talking about how fun Crackdown will be. What exactly looks fun on that footage?
Movement looks awkward
Shooting looks even worse

Crackdown 3: New Single-Player Gameplay Footage and Details - IGN First
- Thread starter XVerdena
- Start date
I feel the same. Crackdown was a very fun game but I hope the mission design is better and more modern this time around.
But to be completely honest, I have no idea what missions are like in this game.
Looks like more Crackdown 1 and less Crackdown 2. Also I can't believe some folks think this looks like any kind of remaster. Visuals look amazing. Can't wait!!
Believe it or not, there have already been two Crackdowns that people have played. The games are incredibly fun.
ITS CALLED CRACKDOWN 3
why are people expecting something other than crackdown?
stop being so negative

Crackdown 1 is still fun to play. I just played it when it was given away for free. Beat the whole game and maxed out on all stats but driving. I had an absolute blast with that.
What does this even mean?
It really needs a touching story about the struggles of fatherhood. Otherwise I really don't see the point in all this jumping around murdering things.
Amazing. thanks for posting the youtube link.
Lol
Lmao... this.

It looks fine and much like Crackdown but I'm not excited for it, recently went back to playing the first one and while it's fun, I just feel I've still got my fill. Wait and see what reception is like, maybe the co-op and sandbox hijinks will get me excited after launch.
This looks a lot better than the 2017 footage, somebody make a comparison gif to really show it :)
Hope next time we get to see the city a little more, where I expect we'll see pedestrians and vehicles driving around.

Those are rather strong words, but I do admit that the movement and shooting hasn't looked exactly right ever since the first real showing of the game. I played the first game not so long ago and running around and shooting still feels fine and this definitely looks different to me. Maybe it's how close the camera zooms in when you aim at folks, don't think this happens in the first game?
It certainly doesn't have the animations and incredible polish of some AAA action games, but the main thing to me is that Crackdown 3 properly captures the joy and feel of playing a Crackdown game. Based on this footage, it does so. I'm not sure I'd pay $90 (Canadian) for this, but thankfully with Game Pass I don't need to make that decision.
I don't need an epic story line with life changing circumstances. I don't need a hundred in depth systems of mechanics. All I need is to jump around rooftops collecting orbs, and throwing cars at groups of thugs. Crackdown 3 seems like it's going to deliver that.

Huge improvement from previous single player showings. What they showed of the PvP at X018 looked good too though so I'm glad the single player is reflecting that.
The jump height, movement speed and general flow of gameplay looks slow but I'm pretty sure this is because of how under levelled the agent is. He doesn't have a huge amount of orbs yet to level up and become stronger and more agile. I think they'll show us some more gameplay in the new year focusing on a higher levelled agent with high jumps, stronger melees and crazy guns. One thing this gameplay also didn't showcase is vehicles. They're a huge part in Crackdown. They evolve and transform as you level up, almost transformer like. I can see them doing some crazy shit with vehicles, maybe a mech or flying vehicle that becomes more badass as you level up; along with the fast cars and jeeps we saw in the previous games - Agency vehicles are so coo imo.
While I think some of the criticism is fair and valid here, I'm interested to see if the same people levy graphical criticism towards Borderlands 3 when that's revealed in the next few months because that game is taking a similar comic book/cel shaded approach which generally means lower poly models with higher detail textures. However, we may see a more stylized approach in general in Borderlands 3 which merges its art style more so than Crackdown 3 which has some fairly realistic elements in its cel shaded world such as its approach to lighting and human character models.

Finally that soap-opera with Crackdown 3 releasing will be ended. Hopefully the game will be reviewed and scored nicely and much better than Sea of Thieves and State of Decay 2 at launch and there won't be any problems later (like bugs, glitches, lack of content, other technical things).
I'm considering even buy of physical version on day one.

It's not, and AFAIK, that was known to be the case from soon after the reveal (way, way back) once they confirmed there was a traditional solo campaign.
You probably won't be able to scale them early on. Unlike in many modern games, in Crackdown you don't just hold the left stick and watch your character scale the walls and do other cool shit. Crackdown is old-school in the best sense, you have to earn feeling like a superhero.
So to climb buildings you need to find your way up, and for taller buildings that means figuring out a series of ledges and other platforms that will take you to higher levels. If your agility level is too low, you won't be able to make some jumps that would take you higher. Your primary (but not the only) way of raising the agility level is by collecting agility orbs which are placed in various places all over the world, some in harder to reach spots than others. Only when your agility level is high enough can you scale the tallest buildings, and get on top of the lower structures in a single leap.
Looks fun but in a solid 7-8 score range. It does look like a weird mismash of current and previous gen though, the movement really looks like it's from a 360 game. I'm definitely down to be surprised though.
You know like TLOU2 looks like a last gen remaster, or Forza Horizon 4 looks like a last gen remaster, or even BFV looks like a last gen remaster. You know remasters!
Ok good enough. I'll give it a toss in a co op run. Nothing to lose really, it's a gamepass title and I have a sub til next year.
Try it on game pass and see. This is why game pass is so awesome.
The destruction is only in the multiplayer pvp mode.
They confirmed early on that the campaign would be a traditional Crackdown experience.
It's not removed from the multiplayer, and it was never supposed to be in the single player.
Eeeeee cant wait!
I know exactly how its gunna play and seeing this new footage just makes me so excited for it.
