Crackdown 3: Wrecking Zone Technical Test (Insiders)
- Thread starter zedox
- Start date
Exactly,
Anyone trying to claim that crackdown would be better without locking, has obvious never player crackdown, or a game with players flying everywhere.
On PC is would be a bit easier, but characters are small in Crackdown, it would be a frustrating experience.
Having said that, I am having fun with the MP, and am incredibly excited to play the Campaign.
Also lock on doesnt mean easy damage. Lock on has a limited range and alot of guns are different in damage at range.
Most media outlets have absolutely no clue about what makes a great multiplayer game.
Didn't manage to play it but did the framerate feel better and did HDR look proper now? If not I guess that's saved for the launch then.
It still had the incorrect black levels, but they'd fixed the other problem.
That's some gorgeous looking styrofoam destruction right there.
It's because Ryan Mcaffery doesn't know what he's talking about and hasn't for a long time.
I hope this gif shows people that the destruction is real. And if they think these kind of things are possible on a base Xbox One without cloud destruction.. then I don't know what to say anymore.
I'm glad they decided to use the destruction this way. It adds a real gameplay element and it's not just a gimmick.
Do think they can do more with it. Would love some destruction based objectives in an online mode.

Man, played again for an hour and still find the gameplay addictive! The mobility and crazy action is really awesome IMO. I even got a single kill on zedox in one match, and he seemed like a beast based on the final rankings :) I had another crazy moment where I was facing off with someone and used my vertical boost to jump right up at them and finish off with my annihilator gun.
Let's not kid ourselves while the multiplayer is fun in short bursts it will get old pretty fast for most players.
It's pretty much what Ryan and Destin said in the preview and I totally can see that.
The majority of the players will be spending their time with campaign.
I agree that it won't be the next PUBG or Apex. And I also think it won't be fun to play for 5 hours straight. But I've played it for 4 hours now and I really enjoyed it. And that's only one of two modes and one of three maps.
If they add progression and global leaderboards I could see this being a very nice multiplayer for a mostly singleplayer game. Ryan was really down on it, while Destin's opinion more reflects what you are saying now. Ryan really didn't like it.
Just open up the app and you can sign up for it. Your console doesn't have to be receiving updates to try it out.
I like igns reviews but more for entertainment then for information.
Hmmm, that's good to hear about performance. Sounds like the HDR is a launch day thingy then.
Fixed it for you /s. styrofoam and paper must be drastically different in other places in the world.
You can simply look at their gameplay to see how wrong they're doing it.
I mean if I spent most of my time on the ground instead of 10s of metres in the air, then yeah I'd think the game was boring too.
Is a game with multiplayer that is not so good make a single player game worse? And should it be scored Lower than a game without one at all?
What do you think? In my opinion; if a developer adds a multiplayer mode to the game, that multipalyer mode is part of the game and that should be reflected in the game. So if Ryan doesn't like Crackdown's multiplayer, it should lower the total score of the game. And that should've happened for Halo 4 too.
His take on Super Lucky's Tale was ridiculous as well, and he gave it one of the lowest scores the game has gotten. I've experienced none of the sluggish controls that he talked about, so it's not like it was a matter of subjective opinion, he was objectively wrong.
I like the guy a lot as a podcast host, I like him enough as an interviewer, but I disagree with his opinions very often.
If there's solo and MP, they should separate the scores, not everyone likes MP or solo in games that offer both, so dedicated scores would be better, to better reflect each mode to the readers/viewers.
If he did not like the MP, maybe someone who liked it should have reviewed that part. If a racing fan reviewer gets to review a football game, does he have to put a low score because he does not like it ?
Back on topic, can't wait to be able to play the full game (both MP and solo), I like the MP now, before this technical test the MP was "meh" to me.

Yea man. I remember seeing your name. Good games man. I had a fucking blast.
finally, looking to get in some wrecking action on the beta/test
I apologize in advance if you see me on your team, only shooting at buildings!

For real, this game is SO DAMN FUN! Once it clicks, it clicks. I reallyyyyyy just wish the frame pacing was better.
Sick lol.

This is why Red Dead Redemption 2 was missing its MP at release. I don't quite agree. I think components of games should be reviewed separately in some cases. Let's be honest, though. This is entirely rooted in score number fetishism.
played today's test on pc, and it makes me want a 1080p60 option on x1x
also, a lot of players are not mindless drones sitting on the ground anymore and the combat was way more interesting

Looks like Red Faction.

Holy shit the destruction in this game is just insane.
I played another hour tonight, and honestly it almost gets better for me each time. It is one of the most fun and interesting multiplayer experiences that I have had in a long time.
Also pro tip, try playing with some headphones on as the sound really pops more that way and gives some wow factor to the destruction for me.
