Crackdown 3's campaign looks enjoyable simply for looking like more Crackdown.

In a nutshell this gen is more last gen.

First of all Spiderman is taking a lot of ideas from the Batman games, second the combat in Crackdown is completely different. The melee is more like beat em' up button mashing and becomes very powerful with leveling up. Combat is more gun focused as well, there are plenty of those. The traversal is gonna be completely different because your character does more jumping and running versus webslinging and climbing. Your comparison is ignorant, Im guessing you arent familiar with the first game.

The graphics arent very impressive but dont look bad either, pretty much the same can be said for every game in the series about the visuals. The appeal of this game is more about the action and Spiderman is doing something completely different.

I did play the first one, not the second one though. What I'm referring to was the fluidity of movement and combat. Btw you can traverse without web slinging as well in Spider man, double jumping, wall running, boost jumps, with tons of upgrades.I think there's even a mission that disables web slinging. From what I see from Crackdown 3, it feels like Saints row 4. Falling behind, yet should still be fun.

Uh huh, as someone else said Crackdown is more like arcade action. Its not particularly polished but its going for something very different than a game like Spiderman.

Crackdown is more like playing as the Hulk. Its not supposed to have the most technical combat. Its just button mashy and when you get powerful enough you can send people flying with a simple punch or kick.

Spiderman may have the basic traversal stuff as well, but that isnt its focus. They didnt build a game around that.

The thing about Saints Row IV is it suffered from being too much the same. I mean it was literally the same engine, graphics, many of the assets are recycled, etc. So I dont see that comparison as valid.

Crackdown 3 appers to be making significant tweaks to the core gameplay, vast improvments to the visuals, new skills, etc. These things make it feel more fresh even its not a far cry from predecessors. While Saints Row IV is a fun game, it didnt feel fresh at all because it was just a glorified expansion and it didnt evolve beyond that
