There's no Rare logo. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't look like the Rare logo.

that's the rare logo

 

[LyleLanley]

I still can't believe people thought either of the Crackdown games were good, let alone a console seller. #mindblowing

The first one wasn't good...it was great!

 

[LtOrange]

Ok if crackdown, fable mmo, and a rare game is shown at E3....I will have no choice but to get a x1. I can't wait to see the big two duke it out! Hopefully we have some really amazing exclusives coming.

It was fun 'guilt food' type game. It wasn't the best in the world, but it was something fun to kill time with, and it did a good carrot on a stick. It was kinda Dynasty Warriors with gunsish.

Definitely not a system seller though

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

Top left?

Wasn't the top left just a profile picture? It didn't look like an avatar model.

 

[IOnEI Falcon]

There's no Rare logo. I don't know what it is, but it doesn't look like the Rare logo.

Yeah, that is definitely the Rare logo.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Still not convinced. What's the time stamp during the conference? Will try to grab a 1080p shot.

 

[CrunchinJelly]

Avatars are gone.

The press release yesterday said no Avatar stuff will transfer to Xbox One.

 

[Akira_83]

the only reason Crackdown 1 even sold was because of the Halo 3 beta access

this is proven by Crackdown 2 bombing even though most people probably had no idea it was a different developer

Nope.
Crackdown 2 was a rushed game with just 9 months of development time and removed some of the key aspects what made Crackdown fun. The developer is basically the same as before, as most of the people that worked on Crackdown 1 moved from RTS to Ruffian.

 

[Miles Quaritch]

Hmm, maybe it is the Rare logo after all.

Still too blurry to say with absolute certainty though,

 

[shandy706]

after Crackdown 2 does anyone care?

Everyone that likes good games cares.

I'm thinking your gaming library is limited.

On subject, my guess is that's Perfect Dark on the bottom right. If not...a new IP.

and?

since when has quality dictated sales?

crappy games sell well ALL the time, if people cared about crackdown as a franchise it would have sold, but it didnt

i remember the gamefaqs boards on crackdown release week were 90% topics on getting into halo 3 beta

 

[Tashi]

Crackdown 3 in year one was be so sick!

The terrible Crackdown 2 demo more than likely lost them a decent amount of sales.....Too Human style.

Crackdown might have been the most entertaining game of the entire generation.

First one, when it came out, was one of the best games on the Xbox.

Lots of good memories there.. chasing them orbs..

Second one was an awful rehash of the first..

Anyway, try opening your mind a bit.

I loved Crackdown. I didn't buy Crackdown 2 because of the bad buzz and the fact that the trailers and previews indicated that the game was not only rushed, but apparently missed the point of the first by shifting to some weird zombie focus.

 

[abadguy]

Crackdown 2 wasn't as bad as people like to make it out to be, but it felt more like a DLC add on than a full blown sequel. I am curious of what that Rare game is at the corner.

 

[REMEMBER CITADEL]

The bottom on the right is so obviously Lionhead's new IP. It's either that or the Fable MMO. It's clearly their art design/style.

Weird, that looks totally different to me. I mean, it could be Fable, but to me it looks like some giallo poster with cat eyes peering out of the darkness or something.

EDIT: Oh, sorry, I thought you said top, not bottom. Bottom is probably Rare.

Another EDIT: Could that be the zombie game?

 

[Major Williams]

Xbox One just got a lot more interesting.

 

[TacticalFox88]

First Crackdown I won't be buying.

 

[Sinatar]

Crackdown is my absolute favorite 360 game, a new one is still not enough to make me buy an xbone.

 

[many places]

New Crackdown would be so awesome. Also, is that the row of games he was playing? If it is, could that Halo logo be for Halo 2 Anniversary?

 

[ShockingAlberto]

Yeah because the last one was so good.

Not true. Crackdown was genuinely fun and Crackdown 2 removed a lot of what made it so fun which is one of the reasons it bombed.

 

[Alx]

Avatars are gone.

I like my avatar.

Don't worry, mini-me, I won't let you go...

 

[JaggedSac]

Crackdown might have been the most entertaining game of the entire generation.

Agreed, Crackdown was fun as hell. Especially with a friend.

 

[XxHANNERxX]

After that joke of a presentation, you can be sure I won't be there for it (if it actually exists). Not supporting all that anti-consumer nonsense for one game.

What is so anti consumer. Everyone seems to say this, but I have not seen one example. You can't let your buddies play the game for free? I see nothing they have announced that is anti consumer. Has the messaging been spot-on, no. Doesn't mean anti consumer though.

 

[Xenon]

Avatars are gone.

No shit

<Only on Xbox 360 indeed.

 

[ekim]

Pretty sure it's the rare logo. Top right could also be Dead Rising... The eyes left and right.

Edit: these are cat eyes... No DR...

 

[d1rtn4p]

Crackdown was pretty much my game of the gen and is one of the best open-world games there is. Crackdown 2 felt rushed and really sloppy compared to the first game. All this said, a good Crackdown 3 with full developer commitment behind it would be about the only exclusive I could think of that would get me to purchase an xbone.

 

[hgarrett54]

Fuck yes. Will buy on launch if they have Crackdown 3.

 

[Alx]

They really should have added that to their show, instead of focusing on sport and whatever : just a teaser with 15 enigmatic hints of their coming games. The speculation and hype would have built itself...
It's not too late, by the way ! *nudge nudge wink wink*

Apparently, Black Tusk has something ready to show too but Spencer isn't sure if they'll show it at E3.

Will be interesting to see what happens.

Crackdown is easily one of my top five games of all-time.

Buttocks said, Black Tusk is behind.

 

[Surface of Me]

Buttocks said, Black Tusk is behind.

Still might have something to show.

My guess is it wont be ready for this year and MS isn't sure if they want to show something as far out as it might end up.

 

[Leflus]

My guess is it wont be ready for this year and MS isn't sure if they want to show something as far out as it might end up.

Don Mattrick wants to bring it to E3.
Phil Spencer doesn't think it's ready.

At most, we'll probably get a CGI teaser or something.

They have the Ryse teaser up, they should put up more of those. Like... for Rare

 

[spanks]

Crackdown + destructible city = killer app

 

[Aguirre]

i played crackdown even after halo3 beta ended, but i never really liked crackdown 2

 

[Malo]

Crackdown + destructible city = killer app

That would be great.

 

[enzo_gt]

Crackdown + destructible city = killer app

They'd need a way to canonize how it repairs itself.

Actually it's be really cool if you had like workers of the future quickly rebuilding collapsed buildings in parts of the city you fucked up. Using construction methods of the future.

Imagine destroying a skyscraper and then watching it be built from a rooftop across the city during a sunset *drool*

 

[Stripper13]

Crackdown 3, Forza 5 and a Halo at some point... fuck you MS.

 

[amardilo]

New Crackdown game!

...Probably just a Kinect spin-off.

I'd love a Crackdown 3 (as long as it's not a rush job like Crackdown 2 was).

I think just may have used that image as a placeholder as those not familar with Crackdown might think of it as a fitness app.

[Dog Problems]

If there ends up being a third Crackdown that is like the first game then I will probably buy the system.

 

[Satchel]

Just when I was planning on NOT buying the new Xbox anywhere near launch, the OP goes and does this.

You motherfucker.
