Screens look really underwhelming to me but its more Crackdown so I'm happy.

 

[FerranMG]

Damn, these enemies look ugly.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Damn, these enemies look ugly.

All the more reason to shoot the fuck outta them. I think the game looks mighty fine. The original was one of those titles that looked so much better when you're actually playing it, anyway.

 

[GDJustin]

ORBS.

 

[Striker]

Looking great!

Orbs were so addicting

 

[Althoran]

Want this for the orbs but I don't know about the new enemies.
I don't know why they have chosen this path.

Would like some Video soon.

Seems like you don't know a lot. It's Crackdown enough said.

[Blindfutur3]

Oh god, the new armor looks awesome. I just want 1000 Agility Orbs to clamber after this time.

 

[Scribble]

Looking good. It's a bit grittier, enough to let you know that things have gone to shit in the city, but it still keeps that wonderful Crackdown look.

2010 has some heavy hitters, and this will definitely be a contender. I know for a fact, though, that I won't have nearly as much pure, simple fun with those other games.

I agree. I thought it was going to be completely dark and gritty. 'Dark and gritty' is like the autotune of the games industry >_> It's not that bad, though...

 

[CAVE343]

SWEET, the armor looks really amazing. I'm wondering how a maxed out armor would look like

 

[MMaRsu]

please give us more melee moves. I wanted to pick people up and throw them so bad in crackdown. Kicking over and over sucked.

Huh.. you can do that..

 

[Router]

My agility Orbz... Let me show you them.

the new pics look great

 

[Mr. Durden]

Here's hoping the sequel will have some replay value. Loved my first playthrough with the first game, but it became boring really fast as there was no challenge whatsoever

The game is more about exploration,which the orbs propelled you to do,i always found my own fun in Crackdown especially with the keys to the city mode.

It's just a way of having ennemies who can actually stand up to the agent's abilities instead of always fighting poor human beings that will stay stuck to the ground no matter what (until you blow them up with a car loaded with mines of course).

 

[TitaniumGroceries]

"I can see my house from here."

Looks like more attention has been given to physics.

Nice...

Spot the agent in the following picture :

Just follow the rockets, that's CRACKDOWN

ORBS.

Damn, these enemies look ugly.

These were my first two reactions, positive and negative.

 

[FrankT]

Oh yes, yes, yes, yes. Keep em coming.

Not true, they didn't need to go down the "ugly mutants" path for that:
They could have stayed with gangs, and given certain gang members / bosses Agent-like powers. If Agents have those abilities why can't other people? Also they could have also included enemy Agents among the police who attack you if you kill too many civilians.

 

[The Librarian]

The armor looks really good.

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Who is to say that there aren't genetically enhanced enemy humans from the Cell faction of the game? I don't mind mutants because they're already established in the original game as powerful enemies. Who cares if they're ugly or not? They're supposed to be revolting, having twisted human silhouettes...mutants. Some of you guys certainly are strangely picky about enemies that you're just supposed to kill any way you can as fast as you can. Not like you're going to have them in close ups during slow Mass Effect-style dynamic dialogue scenes or something...

 

[Future PhaZe]

Looks exactly how I would expect which is great. I need to see how mobile these mutated enemies are.

 

[ACESandEIGHTS]

I'll keep my fingers crossed for good multiplayer vs. and a deeper SP campaign. This was an excellent game first time around -- too bad it had about 3 days worth of play and virtually no replayability.

 

[UpperCaseN]

arrrrgggghh, I cant wait! We need to make some GAF clans to roll 4 player coop

 

[MMaRsu]

arrrrgggghh, I cant wait! We need to make some GAF clans to roll 4 player coop

I'm down.

Tire bombs ftw.

 

[Dipswitch]

That new armor looks badass. Anticipation growing........

 

[RBH]

*new pics*

:O

 

[ACESandEIGHTS]

This game has the potential to bring to multiplayer what Crackdown/GTA/Saints Row/Mercenaries DIDN'T.

Bring it... make it all-out 16v16 multiplayer mayhem.

 

[Stat Flow]

[bunker]

Not that the vehicles are what made the first game great, but the new skins and armor on the existing vehicles look pretty good.

 

[Alx]

I'm not sure I like the blood pools on the ground, I'd rather have "clean" corpses.
Everything else is great, I can't wait to play the game.

Cel-shaded sandbox, brilliant! Reminds me of Robocop. Well, I hope this thing was actually being worked on since '06, rather than just revisited in '09.

"Milk... was a bad choice!" :lol :lol

Buy the german version if you want pussified corpses :lol

 

[soldat7]

Dear Ruffian Games,

I hope you are reading this as I have but one simple request: Please let my Agent carry an MP3 player with him so I can listen to the godly soundtrack everywhere and not just in my car.

Thanks,

Seeing these makes me want to pick up the original again!

Thanks, but I'm in the UK. So it's £11.99 at HMV for me.

Dont think I purchased the DLC either. So it'll be nice to play that

 

[Patrick Bateman]

Looks like Crackdown with a zombie mod. :/

And that's brand new. I am positive someone out there will sell the used version for $5.

My favorite part of the original: the old man saying random stuff. Like when you're at the top of the headquarters building, looking at everything that's like a mile below and he says Are you SCARED? Or "I remember when this was all green fields!"

Huh. I don't remember the narrator saying either of those things. Any chance you're thinking of EDF?

I just hope that the 'new mission types' don't mess it up.

I'm slightly sad that there's zombies, and the game's a bit more gritty now. It doesn't look as bad as I thought it would be, but really? 'Dark and gritty' and 'zombies' are like the autotune of the games industry.


Also, it would be so cool if the zombies could jump as high and climb like you do. I can imagine some cool air battles happening. Maybe Crackdown 3?

 

[ACESandEIGHTS]

This is exactly why you need to play the game again, single-player w/o co-op, and take in the sights, let the controller idle sometimes, keep that volume up and have a laugh at how serious the dude is. The narrator (I don't want to offend our geriatric gamer friends :lol) says some hilarious stuff occasionally. It was definitely one of the more brilliant jobs of narration I've heard.
