Crackdown 2 at X10

Looks cool. I never finished Crackdown, but I had fun fucking around and throwing cars. The guy with the concrete weapon reminds me of Forgeworld´s Renegade Ogryns, that´s a plus in my book.
But the horrible blurry textures on that giant thing need to go :lol

I dunno guys, I buy thirteen games a week and I guess I liked Crackdown but there's something about the way the bricks are textured that kind bugs me. I guess I'll cancel my pre-order because there's no way Ruffian can make a good Crackdown IMO.
I'M BEING SARCASTIC AND MAKING A POINT ABOUT PEOPLE FINDING STUPID INANE CRAP TO COMPLAIN ABOUT WITH THE GAME OF THE YEAR, THESE PEOPLE MAKE ME SICK

I'm just not convinced by the "gliding" thing... it's one of the thing I didn't really like in games like Infamous and Prototype (even though I must admit I didn't play the full games). Sure it's more convenient and gives you more freedom, but there was something with the giant leaps of Crackdown1 that made the game special and coherent, you could cover huge distances but if you missed your target platform you would drop like a stone and crash in the pavement...
I was thinking the same thing. Hopefully the glide cuts off after a small amount of time which would maintain the danger of trying to reach somewhere far off using the glide.

I like how the city looks run down after the events of the first game, damaged buildings and over grown grass, etc.
SmokyDave said:
Tell me about it, everytime theres one of these events a multitude of games get added to the list. Its going to be criminal the amount of games that will go into my backlog that God knows when I'll play, hell I have games from 2007 still kicking it in my backlog.

Are we going to be stuck wearing that shitty generic looking armor and helmet?? I want to be a marilyn manson or wise-old-asian-master agent again!

I think I read somewhere that there wouldn't be character customization this time -- your character's appearance is based solely on your skill progression and all the maxed out agents look the same. I hope this isn't the case, but the screenshots seem to be pointing in this direction.esc said:

Ridiculous-ly awesome I think you mean. And there were the 4 free DLC ones too, a few of which had helmets but were still way less generic looking then what we've seen here.

This is why I always rub one out late at night, because the news keeps cuming so why shouldn't I?

It will be, crackdown is the only open world game that is really a true sandbox.

SKILLS FOR KILLS!
First game was such a sleeper surprise like Borderlands. I expect this to deliver in spades. (I was going to say x10 but that would of been a lame joke)
4 Player Co-op? Yes please!

i was hoping to see my tag in the mix of graffiti there...

The guy playing it did exactly what would have done in the chopper: fly straight up (and up, and up, and up and up.....), look at the entire city, and then bail out, and have fun during the freefall. I swear there was someone else in a parachute on the way down.
Can't wait to see the achivement list for this game. The first one was a list of 50 challenges that just screamed to be gotten.

I know what you mean but keep going. Once you get more powerful and really start playing with the city, the game really comes into its own. Its a slow burner that rewards persistence by letting you feel like a super-cop one moment and a rocket-launching super god the next. :lol

First I'd like to say that I'll probably buy this game, however I'm still a little skeptical about a few things.
First, the zombie enemy things at night look really boring to me. I've seen a few videos with them, and it just doesn't look fun running circles around these slow guys only having to worry about them hitting me up close. Forgive me if I'm just not knowledgable on the subject, but when I have amazing powers I want them to be tested by powerful enemies. The first crackdown had the same issue; a hundred enemies would just sit there and shoot at you while you ran around and did crazy shit. I really hope they up the AI and make the bad guys have some level of self-preservation, i.e. sprinting for cover when you shoot at them. Its fun to feel like a badass, but killing sitting ducks doesn't make me feel like a badass.
This is a fairly minor quibble, although it also annoyed me about the first game. While the explosions had cool smoke effects, they look very empty and poofy; making them very un-powerful looking. It would be less of a problem if there werent so many damn explosions, but obviously this game is filled with them.
Last, I'm a bit worried about the environment. Being that this is a self-proclaimed sandbox game, I really want to feel like I'm part of a hustling bustling city. I think gta4 did a great job with this, hopefully crackdown can follow in their path in this regard.
Pushing these issues aside, I think the game will be good; there's nothing better than doing superhero acrobatics around a city, killing everything in your path with a variety of weapons. The armor upgrades look sweet too, I hope customization takes the next step in Crackdown 2.
