So MS touting the game as a great showcase for 4KHDR should be excused because they have to prop the game even if it doesn't deliver? What kind of logic is that? You don't have to say something untrue just because you have to say something. You can stick to what is true.

What are they lying about? Are they lying the game runs at 4k HDR? This seems like you have a personal issue with the game not being up to your graphical standards. Please link me to where MS is touting Crackdown as something it's not. 

I said they are lying? No. I said when they toute the game to be the showcase of X1X power on 4KHDR and the game looks this subpar this is bad for the game and X1X.

lol, how were they "very deceitful" about cloud functionality? They said from day one that it's for the MP mode and is not tied to the SP. Which is still the case. It is strange that they haven't shown it yet though. The game was supposed to release in two waves, MP first and then SP. It would be funny if it switched and the SP came out in November and they delayed the MP.

When they talked about the cloud making the Xbox like 8x more powerfull and how much would come from it... have it happened yet?

Just watch and see...there won't be enormous dynamic destruction in MP mode...it was just a huge marketing lie to make look X1 more powerful. Everybody with some technical knowledge knew this since years already. Or why do you think they didn't show off one bit yet. Why would they willingly show off something underwhelming instead of that great destruction multiplayer?! Everyone was expecting that at E3 already and they showed a heavily disappointing trailer. Why would they do that if they had better stuff to show?!

It's not a lie if they literally showed it off lol. Some of you go too HAM with the negativity, eschewing logic in the process.

Crackdown has a troubled development path. They are likely just having more trouble developing the MP than the SP, which makes sense considering the tech and networking involved. Wouldn't be surprised to see the MP delayed.

They haven't shown anything yet, that's the problem...instead of that fake The Cloud hype up trailer 3 years ago. If they delay the MP this game and MS are even more dead than they are already.

Cool story, bro. No point in responding to that nonsense :)



Its Evident that Crackdown 3 is not a game where PR is going to make it sell if this is the final graphics of the game. Some games do not look great but can be very fun to play. Not sure on CD 3 gameplay yet but its not going to win any award for its art style. I know I love pretty graphics but at the end of the day, I love fun more so we will see if CD3 packs the fun.

I just want to know if it still has 4-player co op and if we can level our agility to the point we can fly ala Crackdown 2?



Love the product, not the company. They love your money, not you.

Reading your last statement makes me not to take you serious.

You said they are being untrue which is essential the same thing but whatever. It's a conscious decision by the developer to have it look the way it does. Should MS just completely ignore their own game as one of their showcase games this year? I would love to see how you would handle this situation if you were in MS shoes.

Again where did I said they were untrue on the game capability? Keep going and you may find something I really said or ment.

Yes it's a concious decision, and should be praised because? It doesn't look good, period. Not that it doesn't look photorealistic. It doesn't look good or graphically impressive or ambitious. And that is an AAA exclusive that they are putting as a showcase of X1X capabilities (and it is bad for them to use this as an example, same on putting how much better Minecraft 4k will look or putting low end indies as 4KHDR).

You just don't need to mention something if it won't do you any favor. Keep the 4KHDR ubber graphic tag for Forza, Metro, AC and others that could really be an eyecandy and on Crackdown talk about what it does good instead of pushing it as a good graphic showcase that it isn't and damage their own show.

The entire cloud agenda as it pertains to the XBO as a whole, and the benefits it would bring to the table were grossly, grossly overstated, to the point that "very deceitful" is an apt descriptor. If I remember, there were at least a few instances of hyperbole. There's a reason it went from being spammed in PR a few years ago, and today, ends up not being talked about at all. A practical application in the future? Sure. But when they were bandying it about?  No. You're not gonna make me go fishing are you? It's too hot today.
