Back then, the gritty, down-to-earth aesthetic was the norm. Every open world game would try to replicate the GTA formula.

Can't believe that they took it out 2 years after showcasing it in actual gameplay.

I'm glad to see that you were fair with the comparison. I've seen several videos comparing the games, and in the original Crackdown they are using the Keys to the City DLC mod. Which is fine if you want to quickly level up your character and see how they compare maxed out, But keys to the city also has a modifier for strength, explosions, and agility. I believe it's called super agility, super strength, Ect. Using those modifiers you can jump exponentially higher, explosions are bigger, you run probably 2 to 3 times faster than normal so using that as a comparison I did not think was fair.

Joao Bojan if you knew the long and extensive story of the development of this game you would understand why Crackdown 3 is the way it is and how amazing it is with all things considered

[@Mr.Foxhat]

I am going to say this from the angle of a Nintendo fan who played on the Wii U and some of the older systems I collect for 90% of this console gen. I also do conceptual illustrion on top of that. This is being put out there to show that I know bad graphics when I see them, and a fanbase that simply doesn't like a new artstyle because it is different. Remember Wind Waker? Anywho, let's backtrack a little. I never grew up with Crackdown. I literally only started playing the first game 2 days ago on an Xbox One S my brother got me, so I have no bias or anything of the sort with this series. With that said, I find it very interesting regarding all of the complaints I have read about the game. Examples being: The graphics, and the lack of a massive populace. (The story sucking sounds like what I'd expect from a game that is clearly not taking itself seriously.) Haven't seen Crackdown 3 yet live on XBO. However based on what I have seen in gameplay on KZbin and videos like these, I think it looks gorgeous! One of my few complaints with the art style of the first title was how the game didn't seem like it wanted to fully commit towards bright lighting or darker, more drab tones. The comic book, cell shaded nature of the game felt like it could be a bit brighter, or a bit darker and look so much better. If only they would fully commit! Luckily Crackdown 3 decided to commit to a style and chose the brighter side of comic books. It honestly looks almost like how I wish the 1st game should had looked (except like far better with better hardware.) It seems most players wanted a grittier title, more akin to what is in Gears, and the Playstation titles. However I just don't think that would fit the series aesthetically. The 2nd complaint I hear often is the lack of a massive populace. While I do think a few more NPCs would make the world a bit more lived in, I actually think it would cause more harm than good, as I felt when playing Crackdown 1. In Crackdown you are essentially a superhero cop. You gain most of your skills by fighting baddies in the game world. This is fine and dandy, except one little nuisance (or a couple thousand.) That nuisance is the populace. You lose points whenever you kill a civilian, forcing you to thus fight more baddies and regain those points to level up. It can be quite tedious in the middle of a firefight or when in a race with a vehicle. The game is literally designed to punish you for hurting the populace and it can get a bit tedious. Games like Assassin's Creed have done similar things which frustrate me when playing. It makes me thank God that Arkham Knight didn't put civilians in the city as it would have been a living nightmare avoiding them. Meanwhile, games like Prototype and Infamous use the populace to their advantage as methods of health pick ups, and leveling. However this fits with the narrative of those games much better than Crackdown, as civilians getting harmed does not effect the player too much (any accidental kills can quickly be rectified. That just doesn't work in Crackdown with it's system for punishing you if you hurt a civilian. With that said I do think Crackdown 3 could inject just a teeny few more people in the streets. However just imagine how much of a pain in the ass it would be fighting a bunch of enemies, while tip toeing around civilians with their dumb AI. All n all, I think I'll still try out Crackdown 3. Definitely appears to match up to my expectations. Gotta beat the first game before then however. Story sucks, but I certainly love the gameplay so far (despite it being a 12+ year old game.)

[@baconjam5815]

The only thing I miss from Crackdown 1 is the vehicle evolution and launching down the agency tunnel when you enter the world. Aside from that, I think 3 is the better game by far. I find the sleek neon crayola future to be much more fun and appealing. The "gritty" style of Crackdown 1 always felt like off-brand GTA 3 to me and I'm happy they leaned away from that.

[@dionl4292]

More and more as I go to more CrackDown 3 videos I'm seeing a lot of hate. And these comments are usually coming from the crowd that haven't tried the game, don't own a PC or Xbox to play it or are just jumping on the bandwagon to feel included. I've played the game and while it isn't what was advertised when first shown is a pretty good title in it's own right. No, the destruction from E3 from many years ago isn't in Campaign. No, it's not the 4 player co-op that it was once advertised as. No, the art style isn't appealing to some people. But is it fun, yes. It is pure unadulterated CrackDown fun and that is what it's supposed to be. There is nothing wrong with the title looking as it did (but with obvious changes) from the franchise's first title. People fail to realize that a drastic change to a product may cease to make it what it's supposed to be and turn off those that love a product for what they know it to be, what they want it to be. Imagine if they put killstreaks in Battlefield titles or added bullet drop to COD, the fanbase of both franchises would be up in arms complaining about it. Give CrackDown a shot, lay your BS expectations to the wayside and just have fun. At the end of the day isn't that what gaming is or supposed to be, fun?

[@Nick930]

Lot of excuses for what's ultimately a waste of money. I have a full review scheduled to release later this week that highlights my full thoughts on the game and why it's simply not worth your money. Yes, games are supposed to be fun, and Crackdown 3 just isn't. It's a clear cash-in on a failed experimental project with the "Crackdown" name pasted on it just to help push more copies.

Hopefully the modding community will be able to create a mod that better populates the city. The environments look completely lifeless with how few NPC's are around. It kills any sense of immersion seeing this big city with no people on the streets.

For 2007, Crackdown was actually an amazing open-world game. Not as good as GTA, but definitely a mix of a realistic and slightly futuristic setting, and it was actually one of the most iconic Xbox Console Exclusives out. But CRAPdown 3 is 100% a mobile-looking game that was nothing more than a waste of 6 years that Xbox could have put into another game.

This game is not ment to be a graphic powerhouse or evolved into something else. It's ment to be crackdown and that's what you get its a ton of fun and would probably surprise doubters who ain't given it a real chance. (ITS NOT MENT TO BE A GTA CLONE EITHER HOW IS THIS COMPARISON VALID!)

I tried crackdown 3 with gamepass and it literally gets boring so quick. Same repetitive missions and gameplay. The city feels lifeless and empty and the driving is ass. Its worth like 5 hours of fun but then you realize that your just jumping around doing the same shit and it becomes a drag to even continue. The graphics look good but not by much especially considering they had all that development time to make it play and look good but nope.

[@stickmen_legends0012]

Every videogame has some form of repitition, youre simply not a crackdown fan thats fine, but dont trash the game because its not your taste. Btw crackdown 3 has had a rough development, the end product was not their intended outcome but that was the best they could do. Every development isnt smooth sailing, its a miracle the game wasnt cancelled but i must say i thouroughly enjoyed the game and hope they keep updating it with new content

[@dionl4292]

Are you really complaining about repetition in video games? I'll bet you don't complain about repetitious actions in other titles such as GTA V, COD, BF or any other titles you may play. All titles have repetition/patterns and it's up to you in how you tackle most objectives in almost any game. Could it be that you yourself are repetitious and tackling mission types with the same tactics each time?
