Crackdown gamescom 2015 Trailer Debuts Gameplay

Microsoft’s 2016 lineup is already looking mighty impressive, with Scalebound and Quantum Break leading the charge for new IP. It’s not all new properties, though, as Microsoft is also bringing back Crackdown, a series that was introduced during the Xbox 360 era

[Concertoine]

I thought it looked a little too samey at first, but then that destruction, holy crap!

[Gazondaily]

Power of the cloud right there mate

[gosukyomomma]

we will see the real power of the cloud when it goes global with millions of people connecting and disconnecting simultaneously, Im still skeptical of this because i work in networking and to pull this off without any frequent hitches to the player is a massive task!
I wonder what the minimum transfer speed is for this game because i doubt anyone under with a 10Mbps will be playing this lol

[GearsdoodooBruh]

@Gosu

I don't blame you. The "secret sauce" might be too much for you guys to handle. Two years of making fun of MS and "teh cloud" for nothing.

[Professor_K]

THE CLOUD IS REAL

[gosukyomomma]

@ gears

Lol you donut no not secret sauce just 5 years hard studying and understanding how networks, routing switching and cloud networking works. Like i said if ms can pull this off - with no issues i will be amazed and surprised on many things, if it doesnt work then its ok they will build and improve upon it and eventually it will work but given how the current internet is today with its fluctations in different speeds, routing paths etc i know how hard it will be for it to work perfectly. You never will because your just a fanboy who goes off pr talk lol.

[SilentNegotiator]

Tell that to Red Faction: Guerrilla, which came out an entire 6 years ago.

[Gazondaily]

Lmao! Red Faction?? Oh dear.... The game had minor destruction at the tiniest scale in comparison! Yeah a desolate mars with some skeletal buildings really is a good point of comparison....

What game this gen even comes close to having that kind of dynamic destruction??

[XanderZane]

100% destruction. I don't remember too many games where everything in the game could be destroyed. Power of the cloud. Can't wait to get this game. Want to know how many cities you have to clean up in this game. Hopefully we get more info on the story and different characters.

[NukaCola]

There was that Red Faction TPS last gen I think that had nearly full destruction but this looks much better.

What happens when the world is completely destroyed?

Does this break the dynamics or flow of the game with collecting things, completing objectives etc?

[Ashunderfire86]

Just like what NukaCola said Red Faction Guerrilla! That game for its time had the most advance destructible physics in a game, and its still better than many next gen games physics including Battlefield 4. Crackdown has the complete destruction I really wanted, especially in Multiplayer! Preorder confirmed!

[remixx116]

Fuqq did you guys see that????? Crackdown 3 looks nuts and bolts!!!! When does this release??

[3-4-5]

Was not expecting all these XB1 trailers today.

I like random days like this, no matter if it's for Sony,Microsoft or Nintendo.

[crazychris4124]

The destruction is insane, didn't think we were going to get a game to top Just Cause 3's destruction so soon.

[Neixus]

What's so special about Just Cause 3's destruction? It's pre-calculated.

Meanwhile this game and Red Faction:Guerilla are the only games with true dynamic destruction.

[Ashunderfire86]

Just Cause 3 has dynamic destruction as well man.

[BigBosss]

looks pretty epic and thank God it doesn't have zombies and other crap like Crackdown 2!

[akaFullMetal]

The destruction looks very nice, blowing up building and having that drop on other buildings making them fall. Looks fun.

[BlackTar187]

Do we know if the buildings go back up when off screen?

[Charybdis]

Good question the map seemed large enough, maybe there will be an achievement for leveling all buildings in the entire map/server lol.

[dcbronco]

Maybe it will be regional or mission based. Either each time you start a mission the city resets or it resets once you move to another region of the map.

[Godz Kastro]

Fully destructible cities? Wow

[MadLad]

This really does look great.

[Dread]

As a big fan of the original, I am not that impressed.

Does not look next gen to me. The destruction was awesome though.

[candystop]

I totally disagree but beauty is in the eye of the beholder!

[Redgehammer]

As s fan of the series, and just loaded crackdown 1. I'd say 3 looks plenty next gen.

[candystop]

Scalebound and now this! Where were these games at E3. Good lordy...amazing job MS and team!

[u4one]

Finally some proper cloud power shown off. Awesome.

[1nsomniac]

Really dislike the crackdown series but have to say that does look good.

[Whitey2k]

I wanna see it in total gameplay be4 I make an opnion there's bound to be plenty of lag and the servers from and to

[MilkMan]

Umm, I just wanted a GREAT SP game. Looks like I have to look elsewhere. Destruction is nice. Playing silly destrocto-buildings with a gang of fools, isn't.

Unless there is more to this, ill pass.

[Jayszen]

Why all the disagrees with what Milkman says? A lot of people are going on like "wow, look at the destruction..." but that does not make a game fun, it is well designed and challenging gameplay that does.

[dkp23]

Because it's a one minute trailer and already coming to conclusion that sp sucks because he does t want to low shit up and play with gangs. Let's bring out our jump to conclusions mat everyone.

[Veneno]

This was one of the Xbox titles I was interested in. Hoping to see more soon but great reveal so far.

[nowitzki2004]

Cant wait to see more. Hope the animations are better.

[addictedtochaos]

Is this just a multiplayer game?

[spicelicka]

No no it has a full campaign, co-op and multiplayer.

[addictedtochaos]

Good.

[lastking95]

Rip my wallet, This looked too good to pass up along with half the games at gamescom. Power of the cloud is real son!

[TwoForce]

Well , now that's impressive.

[EazyC]

Holy crap at the destruction. Does JC 3 have full-blown destruction or just chaos items?

[darren_poolies]

First game I've seen that makes me want an Xbox One.

[Pintheshadows]

Same, mainly for the level of destruction though. The rest of it looks to be standard fare for an open world action game.

I just want to topple buildings.

[darren_poolies]

It's all about collecting those orbs dude, nothing more satisfying haha. Crackdown was probably my favourite 360 game.

[Jerry Seinfeld]

I agree! Love me a good platformer collectathon and that destruction was just insane!

[Satyre28]

All of the "cloud" is fake, and ahahah the cloud is nothing can all eat crow. That looked literally insane, did you see how every building just fell into tiny little bits literally looked unreal. Cant believe that was alpha footage in game, o baby someone hold me, Crackdown is real.

[Aenea]

You do realise that 'the cloud' is nothing but a buzzword for several remote servers, right?

I do think MS made an easy to use API for using their servers for this type of thing tho which is kinda awesome!

But... it's still just a bunch of servers communicating with the consoles and others can and will be able to do something similar if they want to...

[dcbronco]

I think you are underestimating the amount of new technology Microsoft has put into this as well as the amount of infrastructure they are adding. They seem to be making the technology behind this open source, so in that respect you are right. Not sure if all of it will be. I know Project Orleans was opened. The compression technology developed with Duke University I'm not sure about.

But you are completely dismissing the expense for someone else to do this save Google or Amazon. Someone with a large scale server business already in place. Gamers are benefiting from Microsoft's fast growing multi billion dollar server business. PSNow is the business itself. There is no other source of income from it (that we know of). Microsoft gets over ten billion dollars in revenue annually from Azure that has nothing to do with Xbox. It's the equivalent of loaning relatives a car when you own a international car rental company. That's why servers are made available for free to developers on Xbox. Business' pay a premium that more than covers that cost.

[starchild]

"But... it's still just a bunch of servers communicating with the consoles"

No way! Don't crush my dreams! I thought it was literally powered by little fluffy clouds. And now here you are exposing the cold hard truth.

[FoxyGotGame]

Holy Crap that Destruction!! ...Crackdown 3 now officially on my 'Must Have' list!

[SP4CE_C4PT4IN]

I'll pick up the XBOne for this and Tomb Raider.

[scark92]

The destruction will sell this game alone! wow!

[ZeroX9876]

Never was a big fan of the series, but what they're doing with cloud rendering is phenomenal!

So is an internet connection required at all times? what about those playing offline, would there be less destruction shown? probably not a problem for most gamers out there.

[strickers]

Was a big fan of first Crackdown. Loved the Co op and traversal.
I do wonder how FULL destruction works in a world sense. Be interesting to see how they handle it.

[hemmo1986]

Loved the first crackdown, this looks pretty wicked and thats coming from a sony fanboy

[gangsta_red]

Looks like they are going ahead with the "Part 3". I remember MS saying that they wanted this game to just be called Crackdown as some sort of reboot.

[Flames76]

Damn welcome to next gen gonna be picking Crackdown 3 up in 2016 that's for sure

[Tzuno]

so you can bring down a building with just a machine gun, ha ha.
