You should make a gif from the dev video where they go forward and back in time on the bridge. Those sparks!was indeed real-time then!

Hmm...the words 'I'll believe it when I see it' leap to mind.

Yeah, they said the entire show is on the disc too.

Well I asked Avalanche :
LOL. The perfect reply.
I'd love for it to be Avalanche making a new Crackdown.

Even better, apparently it is also playable
Can you even imagine how games will look 5 years from now?
i dont recall that... link?

I guess they were like, "Kids love zombies. Every game is better when you add zombies, let's put them in."
I can't wait to see what the dev thinks we want for Crackdown 3.
Do you know what your old mates at Ruffian are up too Sean?
They must be working on more than that tower game surely..
I know Crackdown 2 gets a lot of shit around here, but I still had a great time with the game. I missed being able to track down the different gangs and leaders but the wingsuit...
Yes. Both well into development with neither on the verge of release (though they haven't confirmed if the SE title is Just Cause 3 or a new IP). Previously they've had the core Just Cause team, released the first title in '06 and the sequel in '10. Mad Max is scheduled for 2014, very possibly the title that a large portion of that group has been working on since JC2 was released (that is also the time window in which Cory Barlog was supposedly involved in early planning on a Mad Max tie in game to the new movie, FYI, and he's now done Tomb Raider).
The only other games they've made are The Hunter and Renegade Ops, neither on the scale of the new project they have with SE in the works. They've obviously been growing, but they've also got plenty of work on their plate as it stands now.

Now if Xbox One is only able to do graphics this good for the next 10 years, I'd be happy.
I'm less concerned with FPS and Jigga Flopz than I am with the next gen giving us new kinds of games like these.
This game may flop, but at least someone is trying a new formula. I can't stomach another generation of shinier clones of the crap we've been playing for the past 10 years.
No, some of them were just a little too much. I did check my achievements, and I was able to get them all.

If everything we saw of this game was real-time....it's now my Vote for best looking in-game graphics of E3.

Bah, I forgot. Still, I'm sure MS could set up a new studio and hire most of the developers. Would be a damn sight better than having to deal with Avalanche's attempt at Crackdown.
they always said it was (aside from the real video from the tv series) and yeah, i agree. best graphics for next-gen so far.

Their exclusive games line-up is getting more and more compelling. If it wasn't $499 I'd probably get it over the PS4 and then get PS4 in 2014. Something about that extra hundred bucks is daggering me, though.
Well I asked Avalanche :
Interesting. Very interesting.

I never really doubted that the bridge part is real time. The physics obviously aren't, you can clearly tell that they are pre-calculated or animated. Same with Naughty Dog and Uncharted 3 where Drake runs from the water. It is real time, but also pre-calculated.
It really looks good, but there is nothing impossible about it. I expect most linear games to reach that fidelity in late 2014 / early 2015, around when QB releases.
Still, for Remedy it is an impressive achievement. Apart from the lighting Alan Wake didn't look that hot on the 360.

I'm not so sure. Sounds good in theory, but I'm not sure it would work all that well in practice. Then again, we've yet to see Kinect 2.0 used with any games, so perhaps it's good enough to make it work

The problem with Alan Wake was the resolution and the resolution only. On PC the game looks really great.

Quantum Break sounds pretty amazing. Can't wait to see more.

It really, really does. We had better get some proper gameplay at Gamescom or there'll be hell to pay.
IMO they're batting .500
Gifed some parts that seem to be realtime in QB, actually the scene where Jack walks through the debris was described by the press as the only realtime part they saw at E3. Even with some downgrades, it will be fantastic.
soo soo good. and its remedy, so we know the story and gameplay will be equally as awesome. 2014 GOTY candidate.

I hope they add some level of destructibility to the city. I also expect to fight agents this time round. Enough of the gangs/zombies/monsters, it's time to face off against agents who have the same abilities and access to the same transforming vehicles and weapons as the main character
Just imagine a fight against a fellow agent going city wide with buildings crumbling in your wake...
Thanks for the link! Feef, awesome footages there!

I'm replaying Crackdown again (from the beginning) thanks to games for gold, and it's just as fun as I remember. I wouldn't mind a sequel after all, some parts can be improved, like interaction with the environment : sometimes you're not sure if you can grab an element of a facade or not, and non-flat surfaces like rocks can be a bit awkward.
I also think they should improve the "grabbing" mechanism, something more like Assassin's Creed with ropes and ladders and making it easier to stop your fall by grabbing anything. But keep the jumping from roof to roof, that's just perfect.

We tricked Phil into it!
I hope every rumble motor in the One controller vibrates for 5 minutes after you collect one.
my typo is embarrasing

I've not heard from anyone about much in a while to be honest. The Tribal Towers game wasn't even a thing when I was there, so a lot might have changed.
A bunch of my pals and I left around the same time so my contact isn't as frequent.
Before I left we worked on a bunch of stuff - some that has been announced and some that has not. I'm not sure if some of the stuff I did is still in production or if they've got something new. Either way, I can't comment - I just look forward to whatever they put out next

Well maybe not in all situations, but you could try to aim for a zip line as part of your move list. I wonder if it wasn't intended in the original game actually, since there are many cables hanging everywhere, and I don't think you can interact with them.
It's not like falling is that dangerous in the game anyway, after a few hours of running around, I can already fall from great heights without fearing for my life (the only time a fall killed me yesterday was after I got hit by two rockets mid-jump

I'd rather they bring back the wingsuit and you use that to attempt to salvage any failed platforming attempt. Ziplines would certainly be interesting, but I'm not sure it'd be worth it as you're pretty much a running and jumping beast after a few short hours.
Yeah, falling isn't dangerous, but there's still a level of risk of involved when you're climbing some of the bigger buildings. To have what is essentially a reset option to get you back to where you were before you fell in one quick second would ruin the platforming aspect.
