Besides, wasn't that footage clearly from multiplayer? Like it showed multiple characters and was constantly jumping between them. I thought coop was to have all the destruction.

- Thread starter Jarrod38
- Start date
That was just a campaign trailer. We've known from the start that cloud destruction is multiplayer only.

Why wouldent they showcase the MP? As that would be the biggest draw?
MP isnt the best to show imo on stage. Hopefully we see it now after the show on the floor etc.

The graphics looked significantly downgraded from previous showings, slightly disappointing.

And yet on the biggest stage the game will have before release, they show that shit.
It's gone. They'll probably BS about how original vision is still in development but we probably won't see or hear from the series again after this releases.
Hell, it wouldn't surprise me if they cancelled it but decided to push out this low budget version to fill a gap in the autumn market

Then the probability of destructibility being in the game is low, considering its coming out to November.
MS is sending out the game as it is, with severe downgrades.

Even the teaser during the Xbox One X 4k trailer looked better than the gameplay they showed? What the hell happened Microsoft

They were hoping people would forget the 'unlimited power of the cloud'.
I don't want to be the one to say "I told you" it wouldn't happen but...I told you.
Tbh though, even with all the negativity I was only expecting them to tone down the destruction in a major way but I didn't think graphics too would take such a hit.
There's nothing here of the demo we saw, it's a different game.

Crackdown 3 will be the first game where MP mode will look more impressive than the SP campaign.

Stage 1: Denial.
Well, to be extremely brutal: it was announced really early and was (at the time) being made by a *crazy* small developer with no track record. They were making the game based on a tech demo designed to push a marketing gimmick, using an engine that has no open world pedigree. The only public showcase had it relying on very large numbers of high end servers to function (the cost would have been nuts). It then went dark and was quietly moved to a new developer who is *extremely* competent, but does somewhat specialize in salvaging flailing projects.
So, um, yeah.
I honestly thought it was going to be canned. I'm glad it's coming out and sumo are great, but I fully expect it's been absolute hell.

It's dead. They decided to cut their losses and push out something from the remains.

I'm not an NPC. And neither are we.
You're now saying that Microsoft and the developers are lying. Get outta here with that.

People keep saying Ruffian Games but I don't think they had anything to do with this. Originally I remember getting excited because they brought back Davy Jones who was the head of the Devs that made Crackdown 1. He supposedly had his own team working on this. As far as I was concerned that is who was still making this.
The fact that they chose to not show the main selling point of the game at E3 a few months before launch does not inspire a lot of hope.

No, cuz it was A vague ass non-response lmao
Seems to be a lot of overeating in this thread. What was shown was from the campaign. We've always know that the campaign would feature limited destruction. E3 proper hasn't even started yet. I'm sure by Tuesday/Wednesday we'll have see some MP gameplay. If that doesn't contain any of the crazy destruction we've come to expect, then we can go a little crazy. Until then, why don't we relax a little?
Well we've been pretending like the first 2 weren't B tier jankfests for the last 12 months , so why not ?

But why? Why not show that on stage? Why not have destruction in SP? WHY?

This is delusional. You don't showcase that garbage demo if you have something better.
They just don't have anything better to show and I'll put 50 bucks right now that as soon as this releases later this year, they'll never talk about it again.

Was a god awful presentation. Must run/look down right wretched if it couldn't get a stage demo while being their flagship first party game for the XBOX launch

O you can't be serious the biggest stage and first legit showing of the game?
Maybe gamescom?
Because people dont want a online only SP.
The game was always a three-way development between Sumo, Cloudgine, and ReAgent.

Sumo Digital was always there. They were co-developing the game with a few other developers.

And yet the entire trailer was pushing coop.
