It sure looked like it was going to be a big AAA title, E3 2014
 
The much rumoured Crackdown on Xbox One has been revealed at Microsoft's E3 2014 press conference. No gameplay yet, but plenty of in engine destruction and that classic Crackdown sense of humour remains intact. It looks like it won't be called Crackdown 3 though, with the logo

E3 2015

E3 2018
 
Finally got the release date right!

When we saw actual gameplay, I think that was a pretty good indication this isn't AAA. The multiplayer on the other hand was more like a tech demo.

Wasting a lot of money on a game doesn't make it AAA. Also, if their goal was a AAA game they wouldn't have gone to Sumo.

Yep, however "It maybe was supposed to be a flagship title for about a second but never was in reality." It was more like 2 or 3 years before we saw actual game play and the cloud promises died down. A bit more than a second...

When it comes to downgrades or backpedaling, Crackdown 3 takes the cake. Watch dogs is nothing compared to the reveal and reality of Crackdown 3. And to think that KZ: Shadowfall got sued for having temporal reconstructive 1080p in multiplayer!
