Crackdown 3 the "downgrade king"?

When Crackdown 3 was shown off at Gamescon 2015, the game seemed to showcase a relatively detailed and layered destruction model as shown in this multiplayer demo:

Fast forward to 2019 and Crackdown 3 is days away from launch. We are now shown final build gameplay which looks shockingly bad when compared to present standards. Have a look:

What happened in the last few years? Is cloud compute complete BS? Do these physics and destruction effects look like "the power of 12 Xbox One consoles"? Maybe it's fun and it just needs to be experienced first hand, because fun factor >>>> graphics. What do you guys think?

I think this is like the 3rd post on the same subject.

FALSE

Nice try though.

Not an Ubisoft game.

How is that me hyping it???

You are a moron.

So, you think the game is going to be shit?

But here you say you're going to buy it?

@ipex: LMAO

That wasn't "discussing video games"

It was a thread promoting Crackdown 3's development with positive reinforcement from xbox fans.

Nice deflection.

Boxrekt hard at work getting owned bashing Crackdown 3 again

And the reigning King of what's on the minds and in the hearts of gamers everywhere remains.... Mighty Crackdown 3!!! :D

I'm almost, almost mind you, getting tired of winning... Xbox Won.... Baby!!! :P

How the fu** you know that you have here 2 months.

Oh wait you have been here way longer another alt account lol.

Are you going to call out boxrekt too?

@MonsieurX: Nope.

Sorry but i stopped reading on Ipex and now i am back.

But yeah for sure he is an alt to, i don't know why people do this as soon as they start posting they act like the have 10 years posting is so easy to spot them.

Well said.

Microsoft can't release a 4k console then a game that isn't 4k. Its a destructive game that will be heavily intensive on hardware and to output at 4k would be a challenge. Who knows how scaled back this game became, can't blame devs for this shit show blame M$. People seem to take the piss but both the previous crackdown scored well.

I was wrong. :)

Crackdown 3 really took a downgrade cause it had to start rebuilding it all over again, so this isn't a shock to anyone.

I think BoxRekt is probably thinking why pay full price and not take advantage from Game Pass is what he's thinking obviously. The rest of you're post isn't showing you are hype to play Crackdown 3 and it's clear you don't like Terry Crews anyways.

You're gonna use a 5 minute video of someone running around to compare?!?

How about play the game and test to see the limits, rather than let brain dead journalists undersell you this game.

Xbox is like $200, 5 years of backlog, and Game Pass is easily had for $60 a year, how is that too much for your mortal souls?

@ipex: Even the known Xbox fan YouTube streamers are calling MS out on this game. It's a huge disappointment. I watched 30 minutes of gameplay and couldn't believe what I watched. This game was hyped for awhile and then kinda fell off the radar mostly.

Who hyped it? The 1 IGN video that showed the cloud destruction, and not from the team who is making this version?

What isn't as hype as we saw, the destruction? That somehow makes single player lame?

I'm listening to Unlocked, and he said 2 years ago media all saw it and weren't that hyped on it.

Specific folks keep saying this game was hype when it has been on the shit list of most gamers and media outlets for YEARS. Couple that with the sudden "I am so hugely disappointed.". Reminds me of Scalebound, where the game received waves and waves of hate and when it was cancelled the same folks changed their tune to "I was so looking forward to playing Scalebound. "

It's one of the worst downgrades ever for sure. Scams like this should be illegal.

It was one of the most interesting newer IP MS had at the time, the only thing it got hated was bad framerate drops. The game really took an interesting setting as "How to Train your Dragon" in a way and it had multiple showings generating hype and when MS announce it's cancellation, everyone had ever right to be upset, can you blame'em?

Wasn't the engine that was supposed to make the destruction possible bought out by another company? If so, MS couldn't really do anything....

LOL “teh powar of the cloud”

Can’t spell meltdowns without LEMS.

lol

Yeah and Days Flop isn't? It looks like a PS3 game. They had to cut 90% of the zombies because it was running at 5fps I bet! LOL

Does this game ever have positive news I mean where the hell are lemmings and xbox people? Why is this game always bad?

LOL, denial. If Days Gone looks like a PS3 game then this Crackdown 3 is an Atari game.

Crackdown 3 is the worst looking AAA game I've seen this gen, literally looks like it stepped out of 2003.

@saltslasher: "Who hyped it?" - A small company called Microsoft. Do some research and you'll see this was a flagship game for the Xbox One and cloud computing.

But I can blame them. What I see now looks no different from what was show before outside of the megalithic destruction. Really, outside of the cloud destruction what else was shown that was of note?

@xhawk27: "They had to cut 90% of the zombies because it was running at 5fps I bet!"

Don't be a sore fanboy... You'd lose that bet. Days gone looks like it'll get a 8, possibly a 9. The newer videos have drastically shown improvement. Crackdown looks to be a 5-6. Not even comparable.

@xhawk27: way to act like a little baby. Days gone looks miles better than crackdown, it’s not even up for questioning.

How much do you love Xbox and MS be honest

Crackdown 3 was more like an AA game. Gears 5 is MS big AAA game for 2019. I have seen two recent videos of Days gone and it seems to have smaller hordes of Zombies now. Ok maybe it doesn't look like a PS3 game but it doesn't look the best of Sony's other big AAAs.

I was trying to act like the haters that claim Crackdown 3 looks like a 360 game. The game might not be good but can you really say it looks like a 360 game?

Ummmm no because the people that seemed to be upset the most were you cows. I don't recall to many lems being that upset but I do remember cows creating thread after thread and post after post about it. Hell, it's still being used today. Once again nice try

What????? The dev/publisher is actually promoting their own game?????? Shocker, in other news water really is wet.

Obviously he's referring to posters here. The game hasn't gotten much hype in years. The only ones that continue to bring it up are you cows. Call me crazy but that sure does sound an awful lot like insecurity.

And you haters don't act like babies. ??

Try acting like real gamers and wish for the best for all games.

But you're the one crying in the thread. You brought up Days Gone to damage control Crackdown 3 looking like shit even though no one mentioned PS4 or Days Gone in the thread before you.

You're trying WAY too hard. And failing LOL!

@xhawk27: Wish the best for all??? Gtfoohwtbs, you hypocrite.

I am not the one comparing a Mid AA Action game to a big budget AAA title that has been in development since 2012. Days Gone has been downgraded. Less zombies or whatever they call them now. textures look worst now too.

DownGrade Confirmed.
