I remember when Crackdown 1 was not looking too hot in the months leading up to release and was getting a fair amount of criticism, and it got just enough polish before its release date. Hoping for the same with Crackdown 3.

 

[BigTnaples]

Hoping this game is the sequel I've always wanted for Crackdown. But I'm sceptical.

If you want to hear a little about what they are doing with the overall game in relation to crackdown 1 heres a developer podcast from last year:

[cakely]

That is a nice-looking screenshot, but after the gameplay videos my expectations couldn't be much lower for this game.

 

[SmoothRunningGun]

That looks different than what they showed at E3. But still I call bullshot.

My exact thought.

 

[KillLaCam]

Everyone is THICC. Day 1

 

[peppers]

Damn that looks nice.

 

[Undead Hero]

Gimme dem orbs

 

[BlackClouds]

I don't think it looks good at all and my expectations were already low enough from past footage..

 

[flaxknuckles]

Looks like ass

Thankfully the game still looks fun.

 

[SapientWolf]

Or that you should not judge a game by Youtube pictures. Especially one that features an art style that is simply compressed away.

So much this.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

me want!

 

[Whompa02]

Boy that certainly looks retouched to hell.

 

[Shpeshal Nick]

Day one

Microsoft needs to fucking hurry and bring the original to backwards compatible and none of that pre order bullshit.

My guess is, Gamescom announced Crackdown 3 comes with all One X pre-orders.

Crackdown 3 also becomes available for digital pre-order that day, comes with codes for 1 and 2.

1 and 2 available for BC that day.

And the crackdown 3 multiplayer cloud Beta dated.

 

[Anteater]

not enough sharpening imo

 

[Marvel]

Totally buying this.

 

[Xumbrega]

Looking good

need some AA tho

 

[ralexand]

What am I missing? This looks exactly the same.

 

[Stillmatic]

Looks like a photoshop/promo shot. Compare the shadows of the background buildings and enemies to the 2 characters and building closer to the camera. Maybe a render composited into gameplay?

 

[BrettHeazy]

that's one hell of a sharpening filter!

 

[SJRB]

Looks mediocre as hell.

 

[EvB]

Looks mediocre as hell.

 

[Maroon Gamer]

Why does one screenshot deserves a new thread?

 

[blakep267]

Why does one screenshot deserves a new thread?

We have a thread about a person messing up a $50 eshop card. I think this one is acceptable

 

[Ushay]

Looks like the new Crackdown. Like they have shown.
I like the artstyle.
Can't wait for the sheep filled antihype train that will fill this thread.



Nope. That's the exact same artstyle.

Edit: Just to make sure for the people who have no clue: this image is not native resolution. It's enlarged and compressed.

They will be in like clockwork.

OT - These screens look amazing. I wonder what the cutscenes look like at release..

 

[Flipyap]

Apparently this is what the cutscenes look like:

Different artstyle than the game, probably pre-rendered in a different engine from a cgi company.

What in the world is this mess? It's like they couldn't decide if they wanted to make this cartoony or realistic, so they slapped a realistic head and shaders on a cartoon character's body (his arm muscles are so heavily stylized, it's like an entirely different art style). That black outline seriously makes no sense here.

 

[ryutaro's mama]

I have never seen this jpg.

 

[Dueck]

The only thing this game has in its corner right now is extremely low expectations for it that will almost certainly (hopefully) be exceeded. I had fun with the first Crackdown, not so much with the sequel, and this has been something that's just sort of there... I never really cared. How keeping this going rather than allocating resources to another team to finish Scalebound (see: a system seller, which is especially important for hyping up the Xbox One X launch) is beyond me.

Honestly, Agents of Mayhem looks better in every conceivable way, which is why I pre-ordered that instead. At least the track record of the Saints Row brand, unpolished or not, is one of a fun series that made me laugh countless times (predominantly with it, not at it).

 

[LukasTaves]

That looks better than anything they showed at E3.

Which says more of how terrible the game looked at E3 than anything.

Does it really look better than this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hirJBN9nuoY

Take out the compression and looks just about the same to me.

 

[EvB]

Does it really look better than this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hirJBN9nuoY

Yep, just a decent viewpoint of the city. Most of that footage the camera is pointing at the ground

I think he means this:

[BlazinSkatinAxel]

I'm starting to wonder if MP and Single player just look different from one another. This game has had moments looking really nice and other times it looks pretty average.

It does. MP is cloud powered.

 

[j0hnnix]

This game looks amazing, this is going to push so many xboxes..

 

[AAMARMO]

EDIT: Thought this was the Agents of Mayhem thread.

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

Watching the live gameplay from sdcc on mixer

 

[Jaguar Victory]

What's the purpose of the "tactical ass cheek suit"?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

I remember when Crackdown 1 was not looking too hot in the months leading up to release and was getting a fair amount of criticism, and it got just enough polish before its release date. Hoping for the same with Crackdown 3.

They started out rough but I have a feeling they are going to really kick it up a notch in the last stretch just like the New England Patriots did in their Super Bowl 51 victory over the Atlanta Falcons.

 

[SapientWolf]

What's the purpose of the "tactical ass cheek suit"?

It lifts and separates.

 

[deo]

The textures and resolution doesnt look too hot... Unimpressive overall

 

[SlickShoesRUCrazy]

The city is lacking density.

 

[Head.spawn]

Looks a lot better now., hopefully they'll toss out some clean 4k footage soon.

Also, that livestream was fucking lit.

 

[Dr. Carroll]

THAT, YOUNG MAN, IS HOW BABIES ARE MADE.

Crackdown 3 - Commander Jaxon Reveal Trailer

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVXujveS1WE

Looks impressive, I presume this is real time?

Game looks ass at E3 though, but there's still that possibility that they polished it up since then. Sumo Digital is a pretty great dev after all.

The fact that they made FH3 with amazing IQ says it all.

 

[Recall]

Or that you should not judge a game by Youtube pictures. Especially one that features an art style that is simply compressed away.

Or you shouldn't judge a game based on just how it looks.

 

[Vidal]
