Waaah that looks fucking sweet. I dont expect this game to be recieved well at all, mid 60s on metacritic, but god lord I fucking love it.
edit. I would guess even if the game had free aiming, most these folks still wouldnt like anyway!

Well every game is different but Crackdown MP seems very easy with the lock on. It just doesn't look that great to me and wouldn't hold my interest for long. If you love that kind of thing, nothing wrong with that, just saying it looks pretty average to me.
The Campaign and collecting the orbs is what I want more of, like the first game.
I should of clarified more, RFG gameplay without vehicles.
You've not been playing very good players then.
When you're playing against someone who knows how to move properly and effectively break line of sight it can become a real challenge.
Not sure about the MP but this, this is what I want out of Crackdown!
To my eyes, it looks pretty much the same with a few differences: the buildings in the old demo were much bigger, he was looking from farther away and the explosions / smoke effects were tuned up more, thus creating the illusion of more details. If you actually look really close, you see that the buildings were just as empty, no furniture, no room walls, nada. Also, compare the size of debris pieces - they look pretty much the same to me. There were just more pieces falling because the buildings were bigger, and they kept the debris pieces around for longer (which can be a huge problem in actual gameplay when people get stuck between stuff).
Now imagine playing the current mode with such huge buildings and lots of floors / balkonies. Would not make for engaging combat since too many obstacles block sightlines, and destruction would take too long to become effective (since there would be more stuff to destroy - even in the demo it took him a while to level a building, and he had overpowered guns that wouldn't really work in the actual game). Movement would also be seriously hampered with too much stuff in your way, and this game only works when you can dash in all 6 directions (including up and down) relatively unhindered.
I stand by my statement: It's just as impressive and not pared down compared to that demo, just adjusted for actual fun multiplayer (and probably also affordable server cost). Will be very interesting to see if they ever make a mode that fully emphasizes big scale destruction.
I don't know if it will hold my interest for long too. But the four hours I've played so far were great fun. The difficult isn't in the aiming, it's in breaking lines of sight with movement or destruction. That's what makes it so different. If you are looking for a third party shooter experience, this game isn't going to bring what you want.
Don't think everyone is saying the game is GOTY-material. Just that it's actually quite fun.
If he had just read the controller scheme to see you need to press a button to lock on...
Haha.
Everyone keeps quoting this and it makes me want to see it but it won't load for me for some reason.

easy.
a game with 2 or possibly even 3 teams. each with their own area.
each area has a bunch of multi-floor buildings and in some of these floors lies an object that you need to destroy. those objects will be placed at random in those buildings.
this sounds like a generic game however, the tools of destruction the players are given makes this game much different than any other, as you can approach the task from a few directions. you can search for it directly, or destroy the base of the buidling, thus creating several levels for the game where you character needs to constantly move to between these different approaches, between attacking and defending etc.
also i can see using the mobility as well for possibly moving the object to another building manualy which will have a risk reward with the mechanics.
in general there is so much you can do with destruction in games, and i now see most are enjoying this game so i am sorry if anyone felt i was arguing for no reason, i just wished that it could be something that connects the destruction more.... directly into the gameplay.
so your words are fact and i am just spouting lies? because i really did play the technical test.... but i guess whatever suits you.
But how did the lock on prevent you from destroying things?
I'll shut up. :D
I didn't make any clips or gifs, only a screenshot.
It shows the fps counters they added to the game, talked about in this article: https://www.pcgamer.com/microsoft-t...rate-ultrawide-support-and-modding-potential/

To be fair Funk, you did open the OP with a comment about lock on :3
i dont have a problem specifically with a normal lock on, like most MP games have auto aim to some level. i just want to have some degree of freedom with it so i could also destroy when i want.
but anyways it seems people want to focus on the clips so i will not bother you any longer. it does seem that you enjoy the game and that is completely fine. maybe the issue is just for me.
It's easy to see the difference. If you liked Crackdown, I don't see any reason not to be excited about Crackdown 3. It looks like they nailed it, even if there looks to be some clear differences in the weight and momentum of the characters. You're so weighty in the older Crackdowns and seem to weigh little in the new one.
One slight concern would be if the expanded jumping capabilities makes it too easy maneuvering. One of the big differences as to why it's so fun to collect the orbs in Crackdown compared to other open world games, where it feels like a chore, is that there's risk associated with the jumping, because you can't just adjust with extra boosting mid jump. That's what made you feel the riskier jumps in your stomach. Not sure that can be replicated, if you have too much adjustment control in the air, as Infamous has proved time and again.

To be even fairer, in that clip I took a shot at the enemy then hid in the building, so it's exactly as I said in the clip ;]
It isn't, don't worry, there's plenty of skill involved. You'll play it, you'll understand it.
Perhaps not, I'm sure we'll see similar ideas explored in the future, in this or other games. The big difference is this still feels like a Crackdown game, and that wouldn't.
Then play without lock-on, nothing is stopping you. See you on the battlefield.
It's a balancing act for sure. That said, in the campaign you only unlock things like boost and triple jump as your agility skill progresses, so there's probably a nice sense of reward.
This is not the topic, but I have no clue what you are talking about. The lock on requires a button. You could play without lock on if you so desired. And when using your secondary weapons there are even moments during the game that I'd advise against using the lock on. You have to use the destruction in your tactical advantage.

The colors are pleasing to my very soul. I love how this game looks.Some SP-related gifs:
THE SHOCKWAVE SHOTGUN IS BACK! I loved that thing in Crackdown 2 lol.
What?
How much did you actually play of the tech test?
You don't need to be locked on to shoot.
Watch this, I'm just shooting wherever I aim:
The issue is that you`re lying. Whether you played the test (doubt it) and is lying for whatever reason or your lie is about playing it, who knows, but youve been bitching about lock-on this entire time and your complaint simply isnt factual when lock-on is not enforced but triggered.
It didn't click and it's just not for me.
Yeah, I think that'll be the case.
I hope this does well, because replaying the first one and looking at videos of the third, it's abundantly clear that we need a Crackdown every generation. Even in a generation full of open world games it still feels different enough from the rest of the genre.
That's literally exactly how it works.. this is why people don't believe that you played the game.
if you don't want use it you will have disadvantage against others people in MP
because they will use it of course
so you will be force to use it anyway to compete with others players
this make less fun IMO
No worries. Still looking forward to single player though.
Sorry it wasn't clear, I did play it but it didn't click for me, that's all.
