Crackdown for Xbox One Gets Competitive

The next Crackdown will be introducing a new way to play.

David jones is back. Yeah. He did an amazing job with the first.how I hhave missed those armor and vehicle upgrades. Watching the vehicles morph with every upgrade was really cool.

GodGinrai3631d ago

I used to live trying to drive the SUV up walls!...And throwing my lowered leveled friends into stuff, superhero style.

christocolus3631d ago

Lol. That was always fun to do. Lmao.

GarrusVakarian3631d ago

Lol, i remember trying to drive up the tallest building in the game with the fully upgraded monster truck. I never managed to pull it off.

GodGinrai3631d ago

@Lukas_Japonicus

Haha! me neither, but it was still fun trying! Looking forward to the co op too. two people I met on that game, ended up becoming members of my clan..been friends ever since crack down. The memories these games leave you with are worth far more than the price of the game.

Crackdown is a must have day ONE game

urwifeminder3631d ago (Edited 3631d ago )

Totally agree when you got in the vehicles and they matched your level it was a nice addition , the first game I ever played that gave you a real sense of verticality got a little sick in guts falling off the large buildings.

christocolus3631d ago (Edited 3631d ago )

Lol. You are right.There was a sense of realism which was most evident when trying to make some really big jumps. Sometimes I would actually become really nervous .lmao. The characters also had some weight to them. You could almost feel it while sprinting, taking off and even landing after a big jump. Damn. Crackdown was a great game. I hope jones is able to push it a lot further this time.

Those destructible environments were, according to Microsoft’s Phil Spencer, based on the destructible environments tech demo of Microsoft’s Azure Cloud technology from their BUILD conference a few months ago; as such, they were very obviously ‘powered by the cloud.’ As a matter of fact, the tech demo for Azure was itself just very early work for Crackdown.

Microsoft is ready.

DougLord3631d ago

Haven't you heard the Cloud doesn't exist? It's not real. MSFT made it all up. That "demo" was fake. They were running the cloud demo on a PS4 and the slow one was running on a super cooled over clocked Xbone. Azure is just 3 486s in Balmer's basement.

This is NG4. You are not allowed to be positive or optimistic on anything MSFT related.

OpieWinston3631d ago

I'm sick of all these kids telling me "Battlefield has the best destruction!"

When they've stripped Battlefields destruction portion of the engine to allow for better graphical/textural fidelity.

I have a feeling that since Crackdown isn't trying to push some jaw dropping graphical fidelity it'll allow for them to have a fully destructible city.

I want gameplay for this and Scalebound SOON!

Ausbo3631d ago

yeah hopefully crackdown comes in 2015 and not 2016. Maybe gameplay at gamescom? doubtful, but hopeful.

Neoninja3631d ago

Well Phil did say the games they were showing were for either 2014 or 2015. So I'm thinking we're looking at mid 2015 for Crackdown since Halo 5 will most likely come out in Nov of 2015. Either way I'm excited and have my money ready to throw at MS for the game!

Looking Back to 2007 and the controlled chaos of Crackdown on Xbox

Darren writes: "Despite much moaning and groaning, Xbox has had some smashing console exclusive games during its four generation lifespan. Crackdown was one such game, released in the early years of the Xbox 360"

Xbox 360 & OG Xbox Games Should All be Enhanced on Xbox Series X

Gamerheadquarters; "With the jump in power from the Xbox Series X all Xbox 360 and Original Xbox titles that are backwards compatible should be enhanced as soon as they’re available."

They’ve been working the past few years and have become proficient in that department so I definitely think they are capable of such a feat. Their BC through emulation that can natively upscale blows my mind and gives them an advantage over competitors using multiple hardware settings which requires higher clock speeds and produces more heat.

I caught Chaos Theory on sale and was actually blown away by how it scaled on the One X.

autobotdan1552d ago

Ninja Gaiden 2 in 8k please

ziggurcat1552d ago

I imagine that they'll carry over the functionality of the X regarding playing previous gen games to the series X.

PS4XBOXONEPC1552d ago

They better have good support for backwards compatibly.... Since they have no 1st pay games LMAO 😂

CaptainCook1552d ago

Why are you laughing at your own joke? It wasn't funny.

ElementsUnknown1551d ago (Edited 1551d ago )

“compatibly”, “1st pat games”: Are those supposed to be “compatibility” and “first party games”? Doesn’t really come across as an adult. No disrespect, legit question: is English not your first language?
