Looking at all exclusive lineups for the rest of 2014... Nintendo's got the best out of the three IMO. Although, that is all they have in terms of games. I really wonder how better off Nintendo would have been if they got the same 3rd party support as the other two.

That could just be Halo Collection and Forza Horizon 2 though since they're still unannounced officially. I hope there's another unannounced, non-rumored 2014 exclusive at E3 though. A major Japanese exclusive perhaps?


Phamtom Dust is heavily rumored and there could be more AA or AAA japanese exclusives announced for this year to help the japanese launch.

Surprised Angelus hasn't said anything on the potential Batman delay. Must have missed it I guess.
@Shika Right now I'm hesitant for Crackdown, as I'm not much of a fan. 3 would have to really impress me.

Well yeah, 2014 for Wii U is 2015 for the X1 and PS4

Nah, he was probably just busy playing Watch Dogs all day.

So I quit Crackdown One after how repetitive it got. I was told that if I didn't like that game, then I would hate 2... man, was that user Wright ;)

I really enjoyed the premise of One. I liked storming the bosses and traversing the city. But that's about it. The gameplay, and non existent story felt shallow. Maybe if I had a friend it would have been better. But playing Crackdown 1 alone just wasn't fun. It was one of the few games I just stopped.

And then I played Crackdown 2... I have nothing good to say about this game. I played through the first part where I was trying to release this blue like photon cannon to the city. I quit after that and watched a review of the game. I was told that, that was the entire game. Doing that same thing... 9 times over. So glad I stopped there.

I feel there is potential in the series for 3 if they go back to their original roots. Make it less about collecting orbs and focus more on gameplay and add some, any kind of story into it. As of now, I'm not a Crackdown fan, and I apologize to those who I offended with this post. Again, this is my opinion, which probably holds no significance to you :(.

EditL Hopefully my non-broken Gears of War comes in the mail tomorrow, so i can play most likely, the last staple exclusive franchise on Xbox 360! 


Way better with a friend. Scaling those buildings and jumping was cool. 2 was better with a friend also. Two helicopters or 2 monster SUVs are fun IMO

Yeah I thought Crackdown was pretty average and I was playing it with friends, not sure if I could bare to play it by myself to be honest so kudos for that. Still I really hope they try to make the franchise into something great.



NobleTeam360 on 28 May 2014

Crackdown was pretty bad. One of the few GWG games I didn't play previously and I couldn't even manage to play the game for an hour. (I tried several times, just not my type of game I guess) I have hope that Crackdown 3 will be better though.



EspadaGrim on 28 May 2014

Crackdown 3 definitely has potential to be a great game.



Spade on 28 May 2014

So at least most of us here agree there is potential in Crackdown 3! I'll be honest, I hope they make it more accessible for single players,as collecting those orbs alone in that city with limited movement, compared to SR4 is not that fun :(
I am very curious also to see how it will look on the One. (Crackdown 3 is pretty much confirmed right? lol) As 1 and 2 in no means "pushed the system".
