There's plenty of explosions, citizens fleeing, and enemies descending on you. It lacked ballistic impact and was just a "thing" that was happening as I jumped around. You just lock on and pull the trigger, keeping on your toes so you're not taking as much damage as you're dealing. The gun that shoots a vortex is particularly fun, so long as you don't get caught up in it yourself.īut gun combat didn't really give me any feedback. My agent was purposefully under-powered but that wasn't a problem, either - there were plenty of bad guys to beat down and weapons all over the place, ripe for appropriating.
Combined with mantling and a new dash move it feels absolutely right and very liberating. I still dig the massive leaping movement as you bound from one building to another. That's a complete lack of confidence in your game. That's as telling as not having the game on stage in front of the E3 millions. Will we finally see more at Gamescom next month, or be hit with a delay into 2018? Because despite having the luxury of showing an edited and completely controlled trailer of Crackdown 3 at E3, Microsoft only chose to show single-player footage. That's worrying when you consider Crackdown 3 is only four months from release. Why the hell wouldn't you want to show that off?ĭespite what sounds like game-changing tech it's not been shown publicly. This multiplayer mode demands so much of the Xbox One that the near-mythical cloud picks up the stress - with up to 16 cloud servers handling the destruction for a four-player co-op session. It's been saying that since 2015 when we first sat through a mind-blowing demo with Dave Jones, the dude behind the very first game (and notorious unofficial follow-up APB, the game that sank Realtime Worlds before getting resurrected).
Crackdown 3 demo tv#
That feels like the broken promise of a superhero comic translated to the TV screen on page there's planet-scale destruction, but on screen two actors are having a rubbish punch-up in an alleyway.Īre we wrong to be disappointed? Microsoft has said the city-leveling destruction of Crackdown 3 is only happening in a specific multiplayer part of the game. "Forget dropping bombs, you're dropping buildings!" screams Crews, before showing gameplay in which no buildings are dropped anywhere. He did a great job of hamming it up for the trailer. He should have been on stage hurling consoles at the crowd. He's funny, irreverent, loud and could snap your neck like a twig. Terry Crews is absolutely the right person to rope in for this game. He should have been on stage hurling consoles at the crowd." "Terry Crews is irreverent, loud and could snap your neck like a twig.
Crackdown 3 got some love - but it was in the form of a promo featuring Terry Crews. Instead, and this is no disrespect to the other games, Warner's Shadow of War and Bioware's Anthem got the big on-stage playthrough treatment.
Crackdown 3 demo Ps4#
It should be a flagship title showing gameplay that the PS4 just can't or isn't doing. It should have been front and center at the Xbox One press conference - a first-party exclusive demonstrating the power of the new console. We expected Crackdown 3 to be a big release for the Xbox One X. The game I was most disappointed by after seeing and playing at E3 last month? Crackdown 3. The game I was most looking forward to seeing and playing at E3 last month? Crackdown 3. Glossing over your first-party console exclusive doesn't exude confidence.
