No :( I was waiting for a QOL improvement that never came. Can't bring myself to get all the orbs especially in New Providence without some sort of radar ping.

I feel they could have supported the game post launch especially with Multiplayer, adding more maps, agents and improving progression. I know they did good with Keys to the City.
I guess the number of players were so low that they didn't think putting a lot of effort on MP was worth it. I enjoyed my time with the game though.
I played 20 hours of Crackdown 3 and enjoyed every minute of it. Perfect Game Pass game.Crackdown 3 was a real treat for me. The campaign was serviceable, but the real hook was running around the city collecting orbs and leveling up your agent (which should be Terry Crews, if you played as anyone else you ain't doing it right).
Klobrille's and Theorry's GIF and screen shot game leading up to launch in February could not be beat and got me excited for what I figured would be a disappointing experience. I even had some fun with MP for a dozen or so hours
Fellow fans of the original Crackdown, am I alone in thinking that the agency vehicles in CD3 were terrible compared to the transforming super car, SUV etc. ?
Because I have not seen this mentioned in a single critique of the game and I'm wondering whether I'm just weird or...?
This. It wasn't perfect of course, but I enjoyed it way way more than AC Odyssey, for example.Even though it had a ton of issues, i genuinely enjoyed Crackdown 3. :P Way more focused than a lot of open world these days that have a lot of fluff and filler mechanics.
That answer made me laugh out loud
That tech needs to either be rethought or seriously upgraded to make it really impressive though.Best thing to come out of Crackdown 3 would be to use that Wrecking Zone tech in a Gears game or something
But yeah it was a fun game. I won't get over the fact that they completely missed the point of transforming vehicles that the original nailed though. Which was one of the biggest things I was excited about. And they botched it
Tactics and Ori have been confirmed already.As we get closer to The Game Awards, what do we think is going to be shown. We know Microsoft is going to have an actual presence in this show unlike some of the other years. Gears Tactics and Psychonauts 2 seem like obvious picks. Do we expect any surprise treats?
Well, Spencer was pretty explicit at X019As we get closer to The Game Awards, what do we think is going to be shown.

35 segments on Kojima and Death Stranding, ohhhh what Xbox related things? Ori 2 and Gears Tactics are confirmed and hopefully Halo Infinite and something new will be shown. I highly doubt that will be Fable related but that would be nice.As we get closer to The Game Awards, what do we think is going to be shown.

If we trust Chris Avellone, yesWait, is Obsidian making a Skyrim like game? we'll already have Fable and so many other similar games have already been released this gen, I hope they work on something completely new for the studio on a AAA scale
One of the futures, I don't think that it will be the standard, but a part of the future
If gears 5 is the second best gears it's not because the production values, but despite those because if they will step up the production values they will kill the gameWell, that explains why nobody in this thread cared about Gears 5. The best XGS game of the generation
In the streets saving money is more important than pixels, especially during christmas/bf when families make gifts for the kidsBut who would want an Xbox One S in 2019? Buying Xbox One X is the only plausible solution.

OK if consulting the 343i's linkedin profile is the new sport of the thread I'm going to compete for the quantiy over quality, so fasten the seatbelts, because I'm going for the wall text
animator with a past in Respawn(apex legends) and Dreamworks
dude who worked with the integration of AWS in lumberyard, maybe Slipspace will be the first Azure based engine?
the cursed words of the thread "live service"
character artist with a past in ILM and Blizzard
one of my most interesting discoveries, he reviewed his works with two external software houses for outsurcing, so we can add "
Dhruva Interactive" and "Lakshya Digital" among sperasoft and skybox labs
producer in capcom, ea and amazon, pretty impressive
live content designer from Sea of Thieves, so I'm hype
designer with cinema background, like Valerian, Elysium and he even worked in weta under Alan Lee and John Howe, and they are my favourite living artists
guerrilla ugh
level designer with a past in id software and monolith(and gearbox...)
does she work with sony bend or 343? I'm confused since Bend in Oregon and Redmond in Washington are very far, I ask help if someone who knows the U.S. works dynamics could explain this
interesting curriculum in bungie, blizzard and kojima productions and awesome profile pic
another guy working on the engine with a curious background, intel, like the guy from Havoc

In spite of the production values?? You have truly confused me hereIf gears 5 is the second best gears it's not because the production values, but despite those because if they will step up the production values they will kill the game
I can't wait to see XGS triple A new games that's being worked on for Scarlet.
Forza Horizon 4, Shadow of the Tomb Raider, Control, AssCreed Odyssey, Battlefield V's campaign, Rage 2, Jedi: Fallen Order, Gears 5, Sea of Thieves, CoD: MW all come to mind. Anthem looks great as well and is super cheap. Many of those are both on game pass or on sale right now.Hi guys, I just upgraded to the X1X. What would be the best game to show off HDR?
Gears 5, for sure!Hi guys, I just upgraded to the X1X. What would be the best game to show off HDR?
Gears 5, Final Fantasy XV, Forza Horizon 4, Sea of thieves, RDR 2.Hi guys, I just upgraded to the X1X. What would be the best game to show off HDR?
The music is great too.
Side note - the art direction, lighting, everything in this scene is breathtaking
It reminds me of one of my favorite movies, Life of Pi. Anyone who's seen in knows what part I'm talking about.
Spoiler'd in case anyone hasn't seen it:
I've 100% the game 3 times now.I wanted an excuse to play Dark Souls again so I found a way to roll back the steam version to when it had GFWL so I can get the achievements lol.

Amazing hires. iirc, slipspace engine was referred to as the most advanced game engine ever created in one of the developer LinkedIn profiles. Also I remember the head of 343i mentioning ongoing content with Halo infinite over the games lifespan and I don't think she was just referring to the mp portion of the game. Halo Infinite will constantly have sp stories/campaigns added to the game through the course of its existence. I think they will keep supporting it long after release with so and mp dlcs.OK if consulting the 343i's linkedin profile is the new sport of the thread I'm going to compete for the quantiy over quality, so fasten the seatbelts, because I'm going for the wall text

Thanks for the link.Defs. I remember that one of the most annoying things with the old engine was how long it took to build new content with its pipeline. One of their main goals with the new engine was to overcome that.
Edit: The source for the engine stuff is here. Whole interview is good but the engine stuff starts around 38:30
Reminded me a bit of the Halo trailer when I saw that just now lol. God I'm ready to Remember Reach tmw.

Both games will feature incredible open worlds.

I still think Crackdown 3 was a decent game. A fun little arcade open world game. It was never going to be GOTY material, but I had more fun with it than plenty of other games this year.
Does it have dad issues? Otherwise no buy from me.Personally I thought of a 3D Ori. There's some majestic worlds coming up from MS, that's for sure.
