They are still favorite Sony studio. And still upset that they are not working on Infamous 3.
Believe it or not, there are several threads to talk about Crackdown and its visuals without making yet another negative one.
There's very little in Crackdown 3 single player too. Also this is probably close to the final build since it's from the previews a few days back.
But of course, negative threads garner lots of negative comments to come out from people who won't even play the game.
They actually released some early official screens too.
Here's how those fare versus the most recent screens (Jan 19 and E3 2018).
Man, I disagree completely, Crackdown 3 looks far more visually appealing than that...As much as I appreciate these games are all doing different things (granted Crackdowns destruction is completely pared back in its SP campaign), it is still somewhat strange that even a 5-year-old open-world launch window title like InFamous looks so much better, and I'd argue the same for Sunset Overdrive too. And CD3 has been in development for how many years by a team of how many people?
Whilst Crackdown as a franchise has never exactly been much of a looker, it is still somewhat perplexing this new title doesn't look far better than it does. The assumption was that the delay(s) would lend to a much better looking and far more polished title, but that doesn't seem to have been the case (unless things drastically change by release day). Like with Sea of Thieves and its lack of content, you're sort of left wondering why the game has taken as long as it has to develop. Presumably, it had a pretty troubled development, and the cloud-based R&D and testing also complicated things.
Still, the downgrade to the visuals, destruction, world size, physics etc might not necessarily mean the game itself isn't more fun. Despite the somewhat muted previews, the jury is still out on that front. I guess we'll have to wait for reviews to get a better idea of how it plays or just how good it is or isn't, but I'll be trying it either way thanks to Game Pass.

Oh very right and gross of you for using the orange idiot.
Here's a last gen open world PC game like Sleeping Dogs. And this game was never an extremely high budget game either like GTA V or something. I don't think it's trolling to say that Sleeping Dogs and Crackdown 3 are at least in the same ballpark visually. (Credit to deejae on Flickr)
I don't have an Xbox, but this is bullshit 100 percent. Go look at a 360 game.
criticizing Infamous for looking generic in a Crackdown 3 thread, cmon now lol
Sounds great, I'm really happy to see that the game is a solid length. the 15th can't come soon enough!
I think the frame rates wont be affected by the Cloud stuff because its being streamed. So the FPS should be pretty steady all the way around as they will be handled locally.
This just reminds me of how much I miss Infamous Second Son. Was so visually delightful. Something about the way that game looks makes me feel so at peace.Both these games came out almost 5 years ago and have wildly better visuals than what we've seen of Crackdown 3. There's no real excuse for how poor this game looks.
