[Mad Season]

looks ok I guess? hard to tell

 

[Detective]

.Destructible.

 

[BigTnaples]

Destruction looks like a multiplayer only feature.

 

[jediyoshi]

Yo check dem orbs

 

[SaganIsGOAT]

Very smart move reserving the cloud compute based destruction for Multiplayer. Looks amazing.

 

[i plays game lol]

Destruction looks like a multiplayer only feature.

that's what im thinking... worded weird, but i feel like that has to be the case. single player is not going to allow that amount of destruction.

 

[Asd202]

The only thing it took from it it's that the game wouldn't be possible without the power of the cloud.

 

[Confidence Man]

Thought it was going to seamlessly cut to gameplay with him controlling the guy in the opening clip. :/

 

[Courage]

Looks great. Reminded me of RF:G.

 

[Tavares4Life]

Why not, Crackdown MP and SP are both open world

Well I mean you could, you would then just have a single player that REQUIRES an online connection. Moving it to MP only allows fans who just want the traditional SP experience to have fun. At least, I think this is how it is working.

 

[Lego Boss]

So, MP is before SP? Is it SP only?

Not sure about this.

Was hyped, now feel as if it is a cop-out.

 

[More_Badass]

Holy shit, Red Faction Guerrilla's destruction might finally be topped.

 

[AgentP]

Yep. Makes sense you cannot destroy the story city, but having the city fall apart during MP could be cool or just a gimmick. Anyhow, I'm on board, love the first game.

 

[Havik]

Seems like the MP is released seperate from the SP and the cloud destruction only works in MP. would be cool in SP aswell but atleast you can play the SP offline that way.

 

[Dead Prince]

that and MP being always online they can do the cloud compute all the time

 

[Memento]

Can't really say much about it, except the destruction looked great. I'm looking forward to seeing more.

 

[jackissocool]

Gunplay looks super stiff. Destructions looks pretty awesome.

 

[i plays game lol]

I'm not saying it's not possible, just hard and possibly silly to implement anyway. So you destroy the whole city... then what?

 

[lionelhutz]

Still no release date?

 

[ShogunX]

Multiplayer is going to be insane, it's never going to get old having your friends on skyscrapers and then just collapsing them.

 

[vvise]

haven't heard power of the cloud stuff in a while.

 

[Frank Serpico]

So they're still using the "power of the cloud" to sell games

 

[ShutterMunster]

100% destructible environments in multiplayer is either going to be glorious or painfully chaotic. I wonder how long it takes to bring down a building? I imagine they're play testing the hell out of it to make sure you can't level the entire map before the match hits the halfway point or something.

 

[OttoSporteman]

Found it so... meh.

 

[Oppo]

I thought the initial thing was actually gameplay at first, and I thought wow, this looks really great.

Then the alpha footage, which - I mean, it's alpha - did not look all that hot.

The destruction does look pretty good, if a bit "eggshell" like... I wonder how they are handling giant piles of jagged geometry, seems like it could be a collision nightmare. I have to admit it didn't seem all that far beyond what we saw in Red Faction.

 

[0ptimusPayne]

Disappointed with the stiffness they still have with the gunplay, the MP and destruction looks awesome though

 

[Carn82]

The power of getting stuck in geometry.

 

[Servbot24]

Looks pretty rough but seemingly a ways to go in dev. Hopefully at E3 we'll have a near final build to look at.

 

[CoG]

Was hoping it was more fleshed out at this point. Still feels like a tech demo for cloud destruction.

 

[atheris]

Some additional footage that shows off the detail
of the destruction is available on the site. Crackdown.com

 

[kittens]

Looks like Crackdown.

'20x the computational power of your Xbox One'

Err.. What the heck does that mean? Are they seriously implying that because you are linked with other Xbone's the hardware capabilities go up by the number of players you are competing with?

If so.. Bollocks.

 

[AllIsOneIsNone]

Not sure how I feel about this right now. The first one was so damn fluid, this looks stiff and a lot slower paced from what we've seen.

 

[Dabanton]

I agree about the stiffness of the gunplay. This was alpha though, so hopefully we'll get a more in depth look at the game.

No. It's using Compute in Azure so you've got a load of servers in Azure with 20x the available processing capacity of your xbox one. (love to see how that number's arrived at...).

 

[jroc74]

They kept the voice of the narrator from the previous games...nice.

This is gonna make me finally get an XBO. Love Crackdown.

[eshwaaz]

I know this is pre-alpha, but it's hard to not be disappointed. So little was shown. The strafe animation is horrendous. Gotta be a 2017 title.

 

[Wind's Howling]

Still does not make any bloody sense to me.

I guess they're still using the talking point that the cloud makes Xbox one more powerful.

You have a fundamental misunderstanding.

 

[AndyD]

Holy shit, Red Faction Guerrilla's destruction might finally be topped.

I don't know, this looks decent, but Red Faction had more small pieces that made it seem more real. This seems like too much focus on big building falling and not on small stuff.

 

[Fine Ham Abounds]

Looks like fun to me, I dunno

 

[The Flash]

Yes. More gifs please.

sort of reminds me of the Digital Molecular Matter stuff they used in that Star Wars Unleashed game

love the teflon sneakers

 

[jroc74]

I think its a mistake having the destruction to MP only. That looks like such a nice gameplay element. At least have the wall destruction in SP.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Disappointed by that video.

 

[JaggedSac]

Yes. More gifs please.
