Games Like Crackdown 3 that You can Play on PlayStation 4

With Crackdown 3 set to debut on Xbox One and PC this February 15, some PS4 fans may be feeling left out. Few games offer the same destructive fun the series prides itself on. There are a couple, however, that do come close to replicating Crackdown‘s outlandish charm.

[chrisx]

all these games listed look better and more fun.

[CyberSentinel]

DAH2?

[Nitrowolf2]

I’m really surprised the list left out EDF

Everything is basically destructible

[shuvam09]

Also Prototype and its sequel...
Closest being Agents of Mayhem...

[KillZallthebeast]

Sadly edf is more of a niche title that isn't too well know, but yeah aside from mission essential structures you can level the whole damn map XD

[NotanotherReboot]

Can you guys stop speaking in acronyms please

[Silly Mammo]

OMG Right? ITT IMHO IDK WTF they're talking about. I must be a n00b. SCNR LOL 😜

[343_Guilty_Spark]

I bet you get no hoes because all you do is wank to a damn plastic box. Pathetic.

[Sunny_D]

Hey! Women are not hoes! We prefer the term bitches😤

[TheSaint]

Enjoy your ban!

[Suave_Langosta]

Looks is the main word here, from what I heard this game is fun.

[SwampthingsSon]

So in the other article about the game “looking” like a current gen game, someone said this: “You know you have troubles when they have to release articles and news just to say that the game does look like a current generation game.”

So tell me, fanboys. How does this article not entail that Whenan article like this is written is screams that Sony fans want to play Crackdown 3 but can’t?

Siiigh. Awaiting the down votes and answers out of left field you’ll try to convince others is the truth...

[neutralgamer1992]

Earth Defense Force

[The Wood]

Feeling left out, . . You sure. . .Lol

[Godmars290]

How can you feel being left out of something so shallow?

Oh wait...

[Lionsguard]

Are Xbox owners that desperate that you look to a game like Crackdown 3 as some big exclusive? The game looks like an old ps2 game. Sorry I take that back, PS2 games were legendary. Crackdown 3 will be forgotten and be in the bargain bin within a couple of weeks.

[shaggy2303]

Why do you care if someone enjoys CD3 or not?

Why does it matter that the graphics are cutting edge, isn't fun factor more important?

[Muzikguy]

You got that right.

@shaggy

I think the point is the hype MS put behind it and all the talk about the clouds. It's like they pick one game to hype for a few years and then move onto the next one after the first one releases just to.keep hype going over the course of the generation all while releasing games that are lacking in one area or another or just not living up to the hype or expectation

[Rachel_Alucard]

@shaggy
If people don't enjoy this game or it isn't the best it could be, it's letting people know to skip the next Xbox for something else. Clearly, everyone else has no problem releasing games for it's own platform, but MS struggles to release mediocrity. I want them to stay in the console race since it keeps Sony on their toes. This market leader thing is as close as you can get to MS not even competing with them. I need them to be neck and neck with Sony, not taking a nap halfway to the finish line. This shit is embarrassing for everyone involved and the only reason they haven't been killed off yet is because of Windows.

[Muzikguy]

Right?! But hey, when you spend years talking about how great it will be and the power of.the clouds and whatnot, you'd better deliver on the overhype. I surely don't feel left out. Got a constantly growing backlog with a huge list of games yet to even buy. After seeing videos of Crackdown 3 running I don't see they hype of it honestly

[CyberSentinel]

What about Agents of Mayhem?

[ArchangelMike]

Um... not sure PS4 owners are actually missing anything with Crackdown 3. I honestly dont' know any PS4 owners that even care that Crackdown 3 is Xbox exclusive. In the worse case scenario they can play it on PC anyway.

[414gamer]

Idk any Xbox owners who even care crackdown is coming out

[The Wood]

I know a few that frequent this site that are low key knowing its a game pass or nothing game. Some admit it, some will continue with the d control. Gp really has become a pacifier for mediocre games that would probably get passed by if it didn't exist. At least it will get some coverage and maybe even improve like sea of thieves .

[bluefox755]

I don't either, at least not outside of N4G. None of my Xbox owning friends have even mentioned it.

[CaptainCook]

I've got Crackdown Preordered since I'm a huge fan of the crackdown series and loved the demo.

[DaDrunkenJester]

I'm a big fan of Crackdown so I'm excited. Same with a handful of my friends. It's definitely not a title everyone is going to be excited about though

[Sitdown]

That could simply be an indictment on you not knowing many people. With that being said, outside of gaming sites, I don't know many people talking about games........oh my innocent childhood days.

[rainslacker]

I'm gonna try it to see the cloud destruction for myself. Will get game pass for a month, and play through the SP campaign some, and maybe dabble a bit in the MP.

Not my kind of game in general though, and it's more a technical curiosity that makes me want to try it.

[KickSpinFilter]

Worst, worst case someone’s going to rebuild it in DREAMS

[DarXyde]

It'd be really embarrassing if it's rebuilt in Dreams as a better game.

[KickSpinFilter]

@DarXyde, Sure would be.

[THC CELL]

No one wants a game that doa
Just cause should be a shamed to be put near crackdown take in mind it's been out yrs before it

[Italiano1234567]

Trust me I don't think any PS4 fan is feeling left out because of Crackdown 3

[Rude-ro]

Nothing wrong with offering the game..
It is just that said game would be a free ps+ game or one of the many indie style releases with little effort in marketing on a Sony console per the history this gen.
It just goes to show the differemce in offerings between the two companies.

[Kaze24]

The same thing can be said about spiderman.. All the PoS4 fanboys make like it's godlike, it's another one and done game we will be able to do almost the same open world thing ( minus the webs ) on One piece: world seeker. Also the beautiful thing about gamepass, you can play it on same day it's released and if you don't like it, you can just delete it.

[Tedakin]

No one said you were.

[KickSpinFilter]

CupHead I felt left out

[Darkborn]

All the similar games look and play far better than crackdown 3. Why should a ps4 owner even bat an eye, especially since the destruction cloud aspect isn't even a thing, or it's been completely nerfed into non-existence. All the Microsoft games never pan out to be a sliver of what they are talked up to be and they don't look good. If they have decent graphics they are basically a demo because Microsoft are unable to make beautiful, good story games with engaging gameplay. I hope for the diehard Xbox fans that a couple of the low tier studios Microsoft just acquired actually make a decent game or two. Realistically, some of those studios have already made Xbox exclusive games for years, and most of the other ones have made smaller indie games, or haven't even made a single game yet. Good luck Xbox fans.

[gam3r_4_lif3]

How did you play crackdown 3 already?

[shaggy2303]

@Darkborn

"All the Microsoft games never pan out to be a sliver of what they are talked up to be and they don't look good"

Ever hear of a game called Forza Horizon 4?

[Darkborn]

The only game anyone ever mentions is for a for the Microsoft camp is forza recently. I have literally drawers full of worthy games mentioning on playstation. Try again.

[Tedakin]

Have you actually played it because the destruction is impressive.

[sprinterboy]

No thx, plus don't put CD3 and infamous in the same sentence pls.
Its disrespectful.
Edit: infact don't put any of them games mentioned In the same sentence.

[Potnoodle999]

Hahaha

True though, it is so disrespectful

[thatguyhayat]

Half the games listed are better than this.

[shaggy2303]

You know this how? You played the game have you?

You do realise a lot of the previews have said it's actually fun to play, it isn't a looked, but it's fun. And you know why we play games, for fun

[Rachel_Alucard]

Oh you're just responding to everyone talking bad about the Xbox here. Carry on then.

[shaggy2303]

@Rachel_Alucard

I couldn't care less about people talking bad about the Xbox, I know the system has it's problems.

What I don't like is people talking bad about a game that.

A: Hasn't even been reviews yet.
B: They themselves haven't played.

By the way, I'm no Xbox fanboy, I own both Xbox and PS4

[StormSailor]

And the other half too

[PlayableGamez-]

Some of the Xbox fanboys defending this game are just depressing.

[gam3r_4_lif3]

Most if not all the PS fanboys bashing this game non stop are just depressing. If you have no interest in playing this game why spend so much of your life talking about it. Its pretty sad. I will try CD3 if its anything like the original it will be a fun coop game

[PlayableGamez-]

Everybody who is bashing this game, are bashing it on the premise of it not being a quality AAA game that had 5 years of development, not because it is an Xbox exclusive that PS fanboys want to see flop.

[shaggy2303]

@PlayableGamez-

Funnily enough I'm defending this game because unlike a lot of fanboys I'm not judging it by it's cover. Instead I'm going to download the game and see if I like it as much as the original.

[PlayableGamez-]

Okay so, what is the point of trailers and gameplay footage? If the gameplay footage fails to impress us, we are expected to buy or sub to gamepass and play the game just to see if we like it for ourselves? What? Go ahead and waste your money I don't care.

[Tedakin]

Every time there's an Xbox game, N4G Sony fans make it their mission to destroy it in every comment section for months leading up to its release and after. It's pathetic.

[trooper_]

And you guys make it your mission to defend rather than demand quality.

[rob-GP]

Wow, they left out Agents of Mayhem - that's pretty much a 1:1 of the game - you go around taking out area bosses who grant you benefits against the end boss, with regular attacks within each sector.

The writer of the article has based their list, bar a few games, on the fake destruction within the MP. The Single player has no destruction within it at all, so all of the recommended games aren't really correct. Saints Row 4 and Gat out of Hell are the same, with their orbs to collect and crazy physics and Agents of Mayhem as above, that's about it...

[Daz]

Agents of mayhem is a copy of crackdown. Not the other way around and it's no way a 1to 1 copy.

[rainslacker]

And? Not really about who did it first, more about what games are like CD3.

[rob-GP]

The article is about games you can play that are like Crackdown - not who copies who...

[CaptainCook]

Sauna Row 4 amd Gat me out of hell is a copy of the crackdown series

[rob-GP]

I wouldn't say it was a copy. As the other say, it started out as a copy of GTA, then it embraced the comedy and became rather crazy - although, once they enter the virtual world in SR4, it did get a little like CD with it's orbs and superhuman powers. However, it's still its own series and its own ideas, it just parodies and mocks events in other games (such as the CD orbs).

[oasdada]

No thanx

[microgenius]

some PS4 fans may be feeling left out??????????
You kidding right?
I dont even bother to see a trailer of it

[gam3r_4_lif3]

But you seem to love talking about it.

[shaggy2303]

So you haven't seen a trailer of the game, so you don't know what it looks like?

So basically you're judging this in the following way.

"I'm a PS4 fan and I don't like Microsoft games therefore I don't like this"

[microgenius]

Dude I have seen enough of this shit since 2013 to know its another Microsoft garbage
no need to waste more time

[Thundercat77]

"some PS4 fans may be feeling left out"

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂

I don't think so.

[AmUnRa]

"Some PS4 gamers may be feeling left out"
I think that PS4 players feel not left out, they have games like DAH2 and EDF and they have better games to play than CD3, like Days Gone.
I wonder what the GR score will be for CD3 and DG....

[rainslacker]

I'll try the game out, so I won't be left out. But, I have quite a few games that are topping my back log list, which are games that I put at the top of my back log list because I really want to play them. Christmas I got almost nothing but games I've been wanting, so I'm pretty backed up after RDR2 took up most of my January.

I never really felt left out though. I have all systems. Not much on the X1 has peaked my interest since Quantum Break.
