ReAgent Games, which I guess is David Jones' new studio (or it's Cloudgine's new name). David Jones being the creator of GTA, of course.

Multiplayer only for this always online cloud stuff is IMO very good news.
I thought this, but then remembered once you become high level on crackdown, you can jump buildings at a time or drive up them in a car.
Breh.

The destruction definitely looks neat, but it also looks like city design was compromised in order to make shit blow up properly. The world just doesn't look interesting based on what they've shown so far.

That is not correct. Reagent Games is the developer. Cloudgnine is providing the tech and support for the Cloud Calculations. They are not doing the grunt work on making the game.

Alright, so it's made by two studios which are both run by David Jones?
Three, actually. Sumo Digital is handling the bulk of it.

I will say I am very happy transforming vehicles are back.

What? Sumo are working on this?
Well damn. At least the driving mechanics will be on point.

As iMax says there is some type of blend between the three. Reagent Games is run by Dave Jones along with Cloudgnine. Sumo Digital is also in the mix.
Wouldn't be surprised to see Reagent handling most of the upfront work and tech while Sumo Digital has come in since FH2 to finish off the game with them.
Reagent is a small team.

YO, DAT DESTRUCTION
I never played any of the previous Crackdowns, but this looks too good to pass up on.
Like my custom is, I will be joining the train on the third iteration.

ReAgent is small, so I think they're heading up creative, whilst Sumo and Cloudgine are doing the development and tech.

That's kind of what I meant. Cloudgine is more middleware than anything though.
Looking at the trailer again. The "guys on the computers actively coding" look to be Sumo.

Cloud Computing looks amazing. Very impressive. Not a huge fan of Crackdown but it does look better than the past entries so I may try it.

If only my penis was as big as my GamerScore!
So what happens when you have slow internet? Does the building collapse in slow motion or does it pause to buffer?
It's only transferring geometric and computational data, not textures. We're talking megabytesif not kilobytes. Not gigabytes.
It was rough but loved the way destruction happening. would love to compare it with more polished version that how much has it progressed

It looks cool, but I'm hoping the same scale of destruction will be present in the single-player campaign.

Holy fuck this game looks insane. Can't wait to get my hands on it.

As soon as I saw the top part of some animator in a cubicle when it was supposed to be about Crackdown I tuned out.
Most disappointing reveal of non reveals ever.

what happens when you destroy the whole city..

I'm happy with it, because it's bringing and expanding upon the original. Criminal gangs are back, no mutants, transforming cars, bigger city. That's all I wanted from this. Of course it looks rough, but it's early days, most sensible people will get that.

How would that even work though?
"Agent, the Triad boss is on the top floor of Nakamura Tower! Find a way inside and battle your way to the top to confront him and bring an end to his reign of terror over the city for good!"
*launches a volley of rockets and collapses the building from the outside*
"The Triad boss is dead! Great job, Agent!"
It makes sense for multiplayer, but I can't imagine what kind of campaign or missions they could go with in singleplayer if the map was fully destructible.
full destruction is only in multiplayer. which begs the question, what level of destruction (if any) is in single player?
This.

Probably because I understand it's still pre-alpha and I understand how to temper my expectations? I also find the potential for all of the stuff you can do with the destructible environments interesting, and probably fun. I also don't think the graphics look bad...but maybe I'm just easy to please? Or maybe I'm just a natural optimist...who knows.
But I had a different reaction to the video than you did.

They delivered on the destruction from the demo, and some posters are still complaining that they dare to mention the cloud computing that actually makes it work.
They also limited it to multiplayer only, so the "I want to play offline only" crowd gets a playable Crackdown without having to worry about it.
The graphics mirror the pseudo shading of the original game.
I don't know what else people could have possibly expected.

Looks too early to really judge anything.
Really hope not, would suck 1/2 the care I have for this game out.

This annoys me, but not because I'm a Crackdown fanboy.
People complain, especially on GAF, about bullshots, vertical slices, and downgrades constantly. But what happens when we get actual pre-release gameplay footage?
This.
For fuck's sake, the game is a year out. Don't worry about the technical shit now, think about the potential! The rest can come later.

Well. I don't really think it's fair to say they delivered on the destruction. Watch the original trailer and compare to this. It looks a lot different, the scale of the city is smaller, there are fewer skyscrapers too.
Destruction has been scaled back significantly too. It's not as dynamic. Not to mention the momentum based aspect of destruction seems to be completely absent too.

We can argue they delivered on the basic concept, but they should have been more realistic in their original vision so as not to get hopes up or sell an idea that wasn't ever going to be possible.

I can't wait. I'm so glad to see them going back to their roots. Crackdown 1 was awesome. You had this city, you had transforming cars, character getting more powerful. In 2 it was the same city, transforming cars were gone and it was just not fun.
The multiplayer sounds wicked too. 100 percent destructible environments. It's like Red Faction taken to the 100th degree.

I'll go with scaling down the chunks since the build demo, but to say it doesn't match that trailer is silly. That CG trailer matches pretty much exactly what was shown just now. You have a big city, and everything goes boom, including big towers.
What else could they of done?

Damn...you're right.

Be more realistic?
I need to see the footage those gifs are from, the destruction tech doesn't look as scaled back in those. Also looks like it might still be dynamic with some parts of the building blowing off, but not the whole building.
