The official Crackdown 2 hype thread! Maybe it won't flop edition.

Game is releasing next Tuesday! Embargo for reviews set on release day! (or maybe monday)

Let's speculate on the scores!

GS's now playing footage : http://www.gamespot.com/shows/now-playing/?event=now_playing_crackdown_220100702

Edit: SW has spoken, there might still be hope in this one!

the demo feels like the 1st one, but that doesnt means it's bad. It just means they probably improved on things that haunted the first (like the co op wasnt that great, the graphics and maybe the story)

last one got a 7.6, im voting AA.

Since you're framing this as a "how bad will it flop thread", it is automatically disqualified from being the official hype thread.

I liked the demo. Everything I loved in the first and more - I'll say AA.

Though, I believe there is already an official hype thread. And don't moderators have to declare which thread is official anyway?

And it certainly won't be this one as the TC clearly intended it as a way to bash the game.

Personally I thought the demo was a awkward piece of **** Controls felt terrible, maybe it's just me but I think it'll get a 5.5

I say no higher than A.

The demo wasn't really that good.

AAE if lucky. The first game was only AE, right?djsifer01

I'm only saying it will flop because the embargo is set on release date. No other evidence really.mysterj

If you're making an official hype thread, why do you need to frame it around the notion of the game flopping?

I suggest removing the AAA option in the Poll .... if you can.

Even this thread couldn't be taken seriously as the official hype thread, why remove a legit poll option?

no wai

make AAAAE the only option

Based on demo. Unfinished last-gen's game. Probably worth a rent, if you are achievement addict.

Flop, because lemmings used this game as plus for 360.

RocBoy already made a hype thread. We don't need another one.

AAA for sureKevinButlerVP

AAA for sureKevinButlerVP

Fanboys take this stuff way to seriously....

Luckly an A, going by the demo

I'm pretty sure the hype was already set at AA before this thread....

Goalposts on shifting sands are annoying.

A

[QUOTE="Chutebox"] You are taking this way too seriously. Also, I think it'll still get AA.Chutebox

So what?

I don't give a **** whether this game flops or not. I wouldn't even buy Crackdown if I had a 360.I just find it perfectly pertinent to point out that nobody is going to take a hype thread that "poisons the well" seriously. Seriously, that the TC thought that this would actually be taken seriously as an official hype thread is laughable.

I honestly belive its going to get less than 7

[QUOTE="Chutebox"] Well, If you wanna be so serious about a game flopping or not on internet forums. More power to ya I guess.Chutebox

I don't care what you think is silly.

That might sound harsh, but my posting style is my posting style, love it or hate it.

To your edit: nothing personal, honesty is the best policy!

I think it looks pretty good, never tried the demo though. Can't be a flop if there's no hype.

There is hype though. AA hype be specific.

There is no "set" number of course, but there should be much more to consider it actual hype!

Well, I was just speaking in an SW hype sense.

In the real world, yeah, there's not all that much hype for this game.

Crackdown 1 received a 34/40 at famitsu.
