Sandbox sequel only missed out to Apex Legends and Fortnite, driven primarily by single-player campaign.
While its physical launch sales were somewhat disappointing -- certainly if the UK figures are anything to go by -- there is data to suggest Crackdown has still been a hit on Xbox One.
Tencent is set to buy Sumo Group in a deal worth $1.27bn (£919m), the companies have announced.
Tencent is really buying up everything. I'm surprised everyone is selling to them like this.
I honestly thought ms or Sony would have nabbed them, seeing as they have worked for both on their respective ips, colour me surprised.
Microsoft recently released their Xbox Cloud Gaming PC Beta which allows users the opportunity to stream Xbox games to their Windows 10 PCs or laptops. This follows on from being able to use the cloud gaming on mobile devices which works very well but is limited to the size of your screen. Having the option to play Xbox games with a larger display has its obvious benefits.
CG writes: Nvidia’s claims that the RTX 3090 can render games in 8K at 60 FPS, ring true for us in this video. We put the game Crackdown 3 through its paces with some interesting results.
It's good it's possible but who would pick this over 4K60 on ultra? It would look far better
Let's be honest here, even with extra high settings at 8k 120fps... it'll still look like crap. Sorry.
This is why Xbox keeps pumping out mediocre exclusives because their fans don’t care about quality anymore.
Xbox gives their fans State of Decay 2, Sea of Thieves, and Crackdown 3.
Sony gives their fans Uncharted 4, God of War, and Spider-Man.
After a couple of weeks they'll move on.
It's to be expected, it's a new release after all. however from the article - "Interestingly, it's the single-player campaign specifically that reached No.3 in the charts. The multiplayer and the technically ambitious Wrecking Zone mode placed much lower at No.22."
Considering that the game was hyped as the next innovation in multiplayer destruction, it's fair to say it's been underwhelming.
Also from the article "The reason for the disparity between Crackdown's active user base and its retail woes is almost certainly the title's inclusion in Xbox Game Pass, making it readily available to anyone who has already subscribed -- or even those who sign up for a trial around launch. Microsoft has yet to release any official numbers on how many subscribers the service has, or how well Crackdown 3 fared globally at launch."
Don't hold you breath, they won't release any numbers- well they'll probably tell us how many buildings were destroyed and how many bullets have been fired. smh.
It'll be interesting to see where Crackdown 3 fares when Anthem releases - not that Anthem is going to be the game changer it was promised to be either.
**Premium title**
What should I say to that?
What does it say when a mediocre game like that can be the most played title on a system at any given point?
