Crackdown 3 delay was hinted at in this very thread. It's not surprising at all. Hopefully this means it will be a better game but hopefully this is the last E3 it shows up at.
E3 2014 was a fucking disaster.

This is not happening at all
Edit: well master chief collection is definitely going to be on pc but this infinity idea is not happening
Have you been following the game the past month? The delay isn't because the game is bad. The game was said a month ago by Jez Corden to be delayed to 2019 because they want it to be Gears/Halo/Forza quality, they want it to be a big AAA franchise and currently its just a fun decent game which would probably get a 75 metacritic score. They want to make it a much bigger thing which is why it was delayed, they need more time and money to do that.
News is pretty sad to me tbh, none of those games should have ever been exclusive
Problem is, that doesn't make much sense. Are they bringing more devs onto the project?
And we had Matt say the delay wasn't for polish, but rather to turn the product into something releasable at all.
Sorry if this has been brought up before, but looks like the Microsoft Store listings page is getting a makeover.
That's the trailer playing on top.

I'm sorry but saying the delay of freakin' Crackdown 3 to 2019 is exciting just reads like Stockholm Syndrome.
Well if you have been following the word on the street it's apparenty coming along great especially when everyone has been bashing Microsoft for launching games not ready.
Not surprising for them when they still think E3 2013 was the TVTVTV one, for them bashing Microsoft doesn't need to even get anything right.
yes i guess it's AAA
but they didn't review well SO FH4 will be the only one that will be review and Have a good Metric For 2018 And maybe Ori 2 If it release this year
Another reason it has me excited is because I don't believe Xbox will let that delay go without something in its place and this Halo infinity rumor only being MP has me wondering if that's coming this year.
SoT and SOD2 both got lots of players. Engagement is what matters, not metacritic scores.
It is a joke because that E3 account pulled the trigger too early on that tweet.
It's clearly a joke lol. The E3 twitter account jumped the gun (by alot) and he's poking fun
Dude I am with you here. Announcing new studio acquisitions/formations will appease people in this thread. But it means nothing to the mainstream. Look at the number of people on Era who didn't know Playground wasn't first party. It's super inside baseball. But if they can do it alongside a new game, then I think that's different. That works appeals to everyone.
Agreed on this one too. We've already seen that change in how streaming works. A few years ago a big bonus of a console was the ability to run apps like Netflix. Then it was made cheaper through Chromecasts etc, now it's straight up built into most TVs. Obviously games are a different beast, but that will happen. Having an Xbox app and bundling a controller in with a new TV would get (some) games in front of consumers easier. And without the cost of having to design and produce consoles. (Super long term, I don't expect physical consoles to stop being produced any time soon).
They would be beyond stupid to not release the KH 1.5 and 2.5 sets on the Xbox One given that the 3rd one is out soon.
The Crackdown delay, honestly, to me, is good news. It means their serious, hopefully, because if it is because the game is in a terrible state and releases in February in "playable state" it will very disappointing. Hopefully it means it will be awesome. I will try not to jump to any conclusions regarding this news until E3. This was kind of expected from what I read here so conference still has my enthusiasm. Let's see what they have in store for us.
This is one of those cases where I'm just going to say that isnt right.
And yes, the disappointing news I referred to before was the delay.
That's great to hear! I'm all for giving it the time it needs, but at the same time I'd love to get my hands on it
Yeah, given that nobody has seen public multiplayer gameplay it didn't make sense to me that it wasn't related to that part of the game.
I read this as he's saying it's the multiplayer that's the problem and if so that's a big uhhh ohhh
You've had it in for this game long before. LOL. Let's wait til they demo it at E3 to see if you're justified or not.
Although I'm looking forward to CD3, it seems clear to me that Microsoft just wants to avoid another PR nightmare by cancelling the game or by releasing it to SoT/SoD2 levels of critical reception. No way CD3 can ever turn a profit at this point, methinks, but I also know jack shit so.
So it's the Multiplayer that's the problem? Interesting. This game has definitely gone through developement hell
You guys think there'll be any chance CD3 will be at E3?
Kinda what happens when you don't invest in first party game development like Microsoft has in the past decade. End of the 360 generation was the start of this.
Microsoft was never that enthusiastic about being in the Video Game business until last year. So it will be interesting to see what they do going forward.
I'm not expecting anything great from them to be honest.
CD3 is obviously in a much better state than it was say last year. But it has of course gone through a lot to get to where it is now. The focus moving forward should lead to a better product next year.
Not exclusively.

This must be the first E3's where I feel hardly any hype at all. Maybe it is because nothing has leaked and the last 2 MS E3's had the "X" stuff happening and new hardware is always exciting. I also don't want to get my hopes up. I am sure things will change come Saturday night, the night before the pressers are always exciting. Hope things stay quiet as far as leaks are concerned. Would be great to have a lot of surprises not spoiled.
well, as we know there are a lot of studios involved with this project. People could be hearing stuff from within different teams
You also said fans were going to be happy. Doesn't look promising based on your statements.
I did say that. Because at the end of the day a delay isn't always necessarily a bad thing as it allows for additional improvements and content.
Thats what I was thinking, but you would hope the studios communicated well enough that everyone would know were the projects at.
