Mr Publisher pays the bills, and Mr Publisher wants a GTA game. What do we make? Well, let's have bigger guns than GTA, obviously. Let's have faster cars. Let's have more swearwords. And, I dunno, protection rackets? A better lock-on camera? It's not like you can do much else in a city!
If GTA games were an entrance exam for developers, that would be the wrong answer. The right answer would be something like Crackdown, and would involve taking people who submit that kind of answer, kicking them 50 feet into the air and juggling them with heat-seeking rockets for bonus points...

Still one of my all time favorite games. It hurt to see what happened to Crackdown 3 😔
Gamerheadquarters; "With the jump in power from the Xbox Series X all Xbox 360 and Original Xbox titles that are backwards compatible should be enhanced as soon as they’re available."
They’ve been working the past few years and have become proficient in that department so I definitely think they are capable of such a feat. Their BC through emulation that can natively upscale blows my mind and gives them an advantage over competitors using multiple hardware settings which requires higher clock speeds and produces more heat.
I caught Chaos Theory on sale and was actually blown away by how it scaled on the One X.
I imagine that they'll carry over the functionality of the X regarding playing previous gen games to the series X.
They better have good support for backwards compatibly.... Since they have no 1st pay games LMAO 😂
“compatibly”, “1st pat games”: Are those supposed to be “compatibility” and “first party games”? Doesn’t really come across as an adult. No disrespect, legit question: is English not your first language?
And xbox one games, there are many underperformed 3rd party games that needs frames boost.
Crackdown is a series of sandbox-style action adventure video games published by Xbox Game Studios. Retro Respawn looks at the first title.
I may just have to get this, not for the beta either. I don't believe in spoiling my appetite
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh, the smell of a brand new AAA title for the 360. Got to love it!
why do many free roaming games not include boats and flying vehicles?
IMO its needed after GTA. Played Saints row and was dying to ride in something other than a car. Even a bike would be nice.
Just cause being an acception.
Having said that Crackdown is a lot of fun and i will definitely be purchasing it. Just some planes wouldn't go a miss.
and will get 2 play it in all its splender, and actually be able 2 play the co-op with a friend unlike the demo
I don’t think they were really trying for a GTA clone. Seems they are trying some a little different, a little more comic book style with super powers more like The Hulk or Spider Man 2. Yes they give you cars but with the super powers to go anywhere like I said IMO I think they were trying something different. I got me a copy, if I were to be chosen for Halo 3 beta that’s cool. I been beta testing sense like 98 its both fun and a chore.
