Turns out Crackdown 3 is fun! Come share your clips.

I don't know what game you've been playing because that doesn't sound anything like Crackdown. The game is totally unique, I've never played anything like it.
First of all the destruction is integral to the game. It's very useful when trying to break line of sight. Conversely it also means that no position is permanently safe. It only takes a couple of rockets and you'll be totally exposed. This forces you to be constantly on the move. The game would be vastly different without destruction.
Secondly, even without destruction the lock on would absolutely be required for the level of mobility players have.
Complaining about the lock on betrays a lack on understanding about what the game actually is. It's not a shooter, it's an action platformer. The focus is all on movement and awareness.
Have you seen some of the clips in the OP? The game certainly is not slow and floaty. The average person would find it nigh on impossible to hit shots in the game without lock on.
Back on topic, here's some crazy destruction:
I'd reckon so. The more crackdown GIFs the better.

Single player gifs are cool too :]
Nice lol, what the heck weapon is that?! Hopefully they add more to multiplayer too.Poor guy
No idea. Same as this one. Where you can rope things and people to eachother.
This looks awesome, they delivered on the cloud tech.
Just interested in how long you played it, and what are your major issues?

Part of the game is indeed learning when not to lock on (Since it lets your target know where you are)
Of course they will, and we'll be seeing similar things from other companies in the future.
Looks alright. Does debris stick around for the whole match and have accurate collision so you can use it as cover, for example?
The destruction seems toned down compared to the tech demo they showed years ago, but it still looks fun. Will wait for more insights before I dive in.
It'll disappear after a certain amount of time. You can use it as cover.
They don't know. They got called out pretending to have played it or even watch a few videos, and bailed from the thread.
To me, it looks like the exact same tech, simply adjusted for actual fun multiplayer:
Take a look at 3:30 onwards and you'll see what I mean. There are more parts to buildings, stuff explodes and there are more layers in between. I guess they pulled it back a bit because now the buildings look more hollow and empty
How would we be able to move and play a fast paced platform shooter in such a cramped space? And if it would be possible.. what would it have added to the gameplay? And would it be worth all the extra computing power?
I'm sure it's possible. But in the end they had to make a game instead of a tech demo.
I had no idea I would have been playing that instead of the division. Looks like alot more fun.
As has been said before a lot of what they showed here would have been either detrimental or pointless for actual gameplay.
Silly complaint but I just feel with a map so vibrant in color that it needs some cheesy 80's synth playing during the match.
Still looking forward to the Single Player but the MP is not really my thing, the lock on makes it look far too easy, with no real skill needed.
It doesn't, just means you haven't played it to see why it's there. If they listen to you we'd end up with slower less vertical crackdown basically giving us bootleg titanfall.
Pretty substantial graphics updgarde over crackdown 1, even with C1 being 4k on the 1X.
Now compare that, to this
Now compare that, to this
Because one of the best shooters of the generation combined with destruction would have been awful...
Still gonna grab a month of GamePass for this, but didn't enjoy the play test at all. I'm expecting <7 review scores. Hoping the single player redeems it a little bit.
If the skill is not in the aim, does it delete every other part of a skill based game?
Already stated that the game still looks fun without all the extra destruction, it's just toned down way more than I thought it would be. Nothing about game design/gameplay. It's just surprising at how scaled back it is.
The TTK in Titanfall is stupid short so you don't exactly need lock on
No, you'd end up with a BOOTLEG titanfall. I don't know where you get the notion of copying being a good thing. Borrowing certain elements of game sure, but straight up ripping off always ends up badly like lawbreakers and battle born trying to be the same thing as overwatch (despite one releasing at the same time.) We'd have slower agents, we wouldn't be hoping over sky scrapers in one jump because who the hell would be able to track me if I'm literally in front of you, tap RB (if you actually PLAYED the game you'd figure this shit out on your own,) and now I'm across the map after ramming through 3 buildings. You wouldn't be able to track that, and before you even dare say it, there's no lock on in titanfall because 1. It's a FIRST person shooter, how would that even work lol. 2. You can't grapple up a wall and shoot yourself across the map while being fucking 80 stories above enemy players. I have titanfall 1 and 2, you ARE running on walls, that's what makes the game so fast paced, jumping completely over them would break the game, there movement is horizontal not vertical, 2 different things.
Oh, I didn't expect to destruction to be worthwhile at all. When the previews came out last week it felt a little bit 'meh' since IGN didn't show any real destruction. And in my first match I played last week I was also a bit disappointed. Thought you couldn't take down whole buildings, but after playing a bit more I noticed you could if you did more damage to the whole structure.
I think it's impressive tech that still needs some work, but I don't think it's scaled back that much. The buildings just have less detail.
The thought of an entire building coming down on me for not paying attention is kind of hilarious gameplay wise. Or just seeing the world changing around me. I always thought Red Faction Guerrillas destruction was fun and just thought that CD3 would be more of that.
Your kidding yourself if you think you have super human reflexes to keep up with wtf is going on with the map without it. Again, I'll say this again, titanfall a shitty example, that game is running on WALLS. Not jumping over them, not destroying them, running ON them. Idky people think there making snarky comparisons when the shit makes no sense to compare the 2. Titanfall is FAST, NOT vertical. I'm curious to see what makes you think it'd be better without it, how would the gameplay improve in your eyes? What would you do to accommodate the chaos an players literally flying over you at all times? Instead of just complaining, put your money where your mouth is so to speak lol.
I think that would be a fun addition if they added the SP vehicles into a MP mode with more slow paced gameplay. But in this fast paced arena shooter/platformer it would become annoying quite quickly, I think.
How well does Tribes work on console?
Also you have far more mobility in this game than you do in Titanfall. You can quickly traverse maps in Titanfall but there's very little vertical movement compared to Crackdown.
You also have the ability to rapidly change your velocity in Crackdown with boosts, double jumps, the vertical jump ability etc. In other games once you are in the air you're relatively easy to track, that's not the case in Crackdown.
OP
OP
In Tribes the maps are spacious and the high mobility is more horizontally-focused, and Titanfall's TTK is low enough that it's not an issue. Crackdown has more rapid movement in all directions in smaller spaces. It wouldn't be impossible, but it would be difficult, especially for controller users.
