Anyone saying "looks like a 360 game in higher resolution" can easily verify their claims - grab the first crackdown (which afaik is still free) which is indeed a 360 game with a higher resolution, then compare to crackdown 3. Then shut up.

Crackdown 3 Campaign High-Bitrate Footage Shows Superb Image Quality
- Thread starter Klobrille
- Start date
Pretty much, also, this looks better than Sunset Overdrive (as it should) as well and I don't remember seeing posts like this when SO launched lol
Launch title vs 5 years into the generation. Different expectations.
There are many aspects to a game. I may not be impressed by its technical side but imo it looks like it might be fun which is enough for me to want to play it.
That's hyperbole plain and simple, but let's not kid ourselves the game isn't visually impressive. Infamous Second Son from 2014 looks more impressive. And I'd say that is fair considering this is running on a One X. I expect more from an exclusive with this much time in the oven.
Disagree.
Even Infamous had a more realistic setting. Crackdown looks like Crackdown but current gen. Comic book visuals. The fact that its on the X is irrelevant. It's stays true to the look and feel of Crackdown. Why change it?
Looks decent and will give it a try when it launches. I think the lack of destruction is overblown. Full complete destruction seems fun idea but when everything is blown and a rubble, levels become flat, no cover to hide behind and that's when things don't get quite as fun.
Thanks to Gamepass i will try it. Not impressed by what i saw, but... with the cheap subscription activated it doesn't hurt to play it and see if it is fun to play it...
KH3 looks like KH but current gen. Darksiders 3 looks like Darksiders but current gen. Monster Hunter World looks like Monster Hunter but current gen. Crackdown 3 doesn't look last gen, but it could look a hell of a lot better and not look like a game from 2015 like it's contemporaries. All those games look and maintain the feel of their series. Crackdown's dated look has nothing to do with the artsyle me thinks.
Game looks sooo outdated and buildings are also ugly. Too colorful and no architectural consistence.
Guess you were wildly disappointed with how last guardian looked then, considering how long it took to be released
"time in the oven" doesnt mean anything, specially when you don't know how much of that time was spent improving looks or even being worked on the final released game at all. Crackdown doesnt look impressive but "impressive" and "looks like a last gen game" are not the only two ways a game can look
I agree. And what I really don't get is why people are going in hard for this game, especially the visuals. Ima play the crap outta this game, but I'm damn sure ain't gonna tell MS (on this board) that this is what I want from their output.
Yea, its crisp, clean.. but nah.. it could've been done better. The animations look wack and dont look like someone is actually floating, etc. Not what I expect in this day and age. With that said, I really dont care as the first CD was a blast. As long as the multiplayer is there and there is shit to do and have fun, I'm down.
I never said it looked last gen. I said it looks like a game from 2015-16. It's clearly a current gen game. It's just not winning any awards for graphics and the art style as I said has nothing to do with it's dated look.
TLG was a last gen title. I never expected it to look like Uncharted 4 or something. I expected Crackdown to look at least as good as Darksiders 3.
We don't need every game to be GOTY contenders, we just need every game to be fun. Crackdown 3 looks like a lot of fun.
I like the way explosions sound
And yeah, this sure looks like an upgraded Crackdown 1. That's all I wanted.

That's a clean image, even if the geometry, textures, and character animations leave a lot to be desired. It looks much better at night, though.
Super excited. Crackdown 1 was such a great surprise (so glad they paired it with the Halo 3 beta). Can't wait to chase orbs again!
I think my favorite thing about this shitty styrofoam destruction is that you can visibly see massive pieces of destroyed buildings colliding with other buildings and it having basically no effect.
I have no doubt that looked better. It was also using far more tech than this is. This is a shipping game, that was a tech demo. The core tech works, we know that. But making it work at scale is the actual challenge.
Hmm that's not the experience I've had at all. It doesn't feel like styrofoam, and debris does cause damage to other buildings.
i think it depends on the integrity of the part of the building it hits
thinking about it more it's probably designed that way so the levels don't just instantly become rubble
I definitely wouldn't say that every game needs to be fun. Some of my favorite games weren't necessarily fun. But they were incredible experiences, engaging, and memorable.
Therefore, they were fun to play for you. Or at least that's how i think it works.
Nah, that's not how it works. Experiences can be moving, impactful, memorable, etc. without being "fun".

Give me a break. Yikes to you. The Last of Us is the best game of all time, and some of its best moments aren't "fun". They're moving and emotional moments of storytelling, character development, and world building. In the same way that a movie or TV show can be moving or impactful without necessarily being "fun" to watch .
Whats the #1 reason people play video games to begin with? I mean, unless I've been doing it wrong - which is possible I guess.
I never said most games aren't fun or that fun isn't the primary reason to play games. I said that fun isn't the ONLY reason. And there are very good moments in games and some games that are not "fun", but are still excellent experiences.
If Im playing a game and not having fun I turn it off. If I'm watching a movie and I'm not having fun, I turn it off. If I'm getting some "Ooh-La-La" and I'm not having fun, I let the air out of it and pack it in the closet. You dig?
Picked up Gamepass recently, so I'll definitely check it out. Seems fun, curious to see how it plays after all this time.
Crackdown 3 looks legitimately fun, I hope it does well. Do we know the file size yet? It looks like a sequel to Crackdown which was a bad thing in 2010 apparently but is exactly what I want in 2019.
I played Crackdown via GWG and really liked it but never checked out the sequel. I remember being kind of sick of the game by the end but I played it non-stop and completed a fair amount of it so it was mostly burn out. It was a game I'd pop in every few months to jump off the buildings and collect some more orbs.
