Alongside Psychonauts 2 and Everwild, there was another game at the Xbox event that really caught my eye, and that was Crossfire X.

Remedy and Smilegate started working on this five years ago!

CROSSFIREX CAMPAIGN PREVIEW – REMEDY’S SIGNATURE STYLE SHINES IN A FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER

The game’s campaign has been in the works for five years with the collaboration between Remedy and Smilegate coming together in what was described as both studios bringing their best together to create something totally unique. Taipalvesi describes it an “industry happy story where Smilegate sought us out. They needed a partner to collaborate with to build single-player stories for CrossFire as well as some world-building for the CrossFire universe”. He continued by saying that “Remedy has had quite a lot of freedom within the IP. It’s our first time working in someone else’s sandbox, but it has been a happy place for us to be in. With them seeking us out to work on a game, our area of expertise has been understood and we’ve been left to do what we do best”.

The live demo that I got to watch the team play through was running on an Xbox One X and followed an operation from the Black List side of the story (the campaign will also feature missions from the Global Risk faction). Launching into the demo, playing as Luis Tores, who is a skilled thief and a civilian, it’s clear that despite this being a FPS, it’s going to focus a lot on story-telling, with the demo opening up with a lengthy cutscene, with many compelling characters introduced throughout.

 

[GymWolf]

It looked pretty good but...generic as fuck?!

 

[PropellerEar]

Dislike the name xXxCrossFireXxX, but trailer looks very good.

 

[INC]

looks good, great to see what a fps on a next gen console finally

 

[GHG]

Now this game looks like 5 years well spent. They should have done a gameplay demo for this.

What's confusing about this game is that there's no mention of a PC version, what's with that?

Isnt the SP a exclusive or timed exclusive for xbx......what i took from it, whether that's true or not, I'm not sure, that's how it sounded to me, I could be massively wrong tho

As far as I understood it’s timed exclusive and the multiplayer will be available through Gamepass while the single player will be sold separately.

 

[jigglet]

I can't believe the teams are named "Cool Dudes" and "Liberty Enforcers".

 

[Bryank75]

As far as I understood it’s timed exclusive and the multiplayer will be available through Gamepass while the single player will be sold separately.

So it's definitely coming to PS5?

 

[Dr.D00p]

Gives off a F.E.A.R vibe, which is no bad thing.

 

[Thirty7ven]

So it's definitely coming to PS5?

It’s a really safe bet.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Its using the Northlight Engine. Hopefully it has DLSS and raytracing like Control.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

5 yrs a lot of time.

Hoping its well made and 'Crossfire universe' is interesting.

 

[diffusionx]

Dislike the name xXxCrossFireXxX, but trailer looks very good.

Would be better as xXxCrossFireXxXSephiroth420 imo

 

[Bernkastel]

Never Mind.

 

[Entroyp]

This looked bonkers. I have no idea what it is but I’ll keep an eye on it.

 

[metareferential]

Visually it's one of the most impressive next-gen things.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Going to be interesting seeing a 60fps Northlight Engine console game. Quantum Break and Control are demanding games with top tier visuals.

 

[Bo_Hazem]

Looks ok, need to see more.

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

It does looks cool, but isn’t it free to play?

 

[Rhazer Fusion]

Oh, I’m actually expecting plenty of FPS on the next generation consoles.

With low tier gameplay and high tier bugs, they had to get something right.

 

[belteshazzar]

It's sad when your poster child game, Halo Infinite, looked, ahem, infinitely worse than this game. Graphically that is. I don't know what to expect from this game, but Remedy always does interesting stuff, so I will keep it on my radar.

 

[MiguelItUp]

I'm still unsure of how I feel about this. It does look pretty good visually, but it also looks.... kinda generic.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Bugs? What northlight games did you play?

 

[Batiman]

Ya that game surprisingly blew me away. The name is so generic but the gameplay looked awesome.

It's using Unreal Engine 4, not Northlight.

Do we have to pay more to upgrade this one to Series X too?

NX Gamer said single player was running on UE4 so I didn't do any further digging and went with what he said, but it does seem like it uses Northlight for single player as opposed to multiplayer.

 

[Codes 208]

Bugs? What northlight games did you play?

I thought you were referring to remedy, my b

 

[Mister Wolf]

I thought you were referring to remedy, my b

Yeah I played Alan Wake, Quantum Break, and Control fine on PC. Were they a mess on consoles? As far as Control is concerned I think the PS4 and XB1 just cant handle all that its doing.

Alan wake not so much, but QB and control definitely were. Or atleast on xbox

 

[Ozzy Onya A2Z]

Looking forward to this game, Remedy killed it with Control and I enjoy FPS so seems like a decent marriage to check out.
