really really cool art style for this game. I think the gameplay was a tad lacking on the second one but the online co op can be a very fun time for sure. This might just end up being a really cool game. The setting certainly looks very well done.

If it ends up anywhere near as fun as the first this will sell the xbone to me. Assuming the cloud based engine isn't locked behind an xbl sub?
Xbl sub £22 for 12 months + 1 month free at simplycdkeys.. thats £1.70/month! Add in all the free Games with Gold and you will be hard pushed to say that it isnt worth it.
EDIT: My bad.. sub has gone up to £26.99 for 13 months but thats still just £2/month :)

I'm not paying 2 online subs. I don't like paying 1 but needs must.
When i buy an xbone it is an exclusive only offline machine. Maybe now you understand the significance of split screen for me and why halo could have been a selling point...but isn't.

The cloud based destruction stuff is during online multiplayer which is obviously locked behind Gold. I don't believe the SP will have it. It does not make sense to tie a single player campaign to an internet connection. What if one is not interested in MP and only wants to play SP and don't want to be connected to the internet?

Its £2/month.. 50p a week! For the library of free titles you could build over a year i struggle to see how you dont find that value for money.. 50p a week! Well its there if u decide otherwise.. great site for subs.. used them for 3 years now with no probs :)

This is the problem with being a secondary console purchase. Its much MUCH harder to find value in owning it.
That is a very good point and it is the reason that I don't buy consoles at launch until I have a clear picture of which console will offer up most of the exclusives I want.

So let me get this straight. You have zero problems with paying for PSN, even though it is always down - ALWAYS down. But you have serious reservations about paying for Xbox LIVE?
I know you don't know me, but on a for real tip brother, you may want to SERIOUSLY take the time to reconsider which platform is your primary online platform.
Not telling you what to do with YOUR money, but you strike me as a practical person. And I honestly cannot see the practicality in paying for a service that never actually works, and then prioritizing that against paying for a similar service that is not only better in every way, but almost always is never down.
I'm just sayin, that as a practical person, too. If I have to choose one over the other, then I'm going to choose the that actually works. Especially when money is involved.
looking good. I played the first game but i missed out on the second, if it plays much like the first game i'd say the XB1 has got another great game coming out next year.

You lost me there i'm afraid since its not always down...in fact i,d say xbl has been down more the psn this year due to the win 10 upgrade... And as i said, i don't like paying for online access period...but one is enough. PS4 is my primary system, so it gets the online access since i'll have more games to play online with. Thats the practical thinking you seem to be looking for :)

It is only logical that KORN pays more for his favoured console. The console I play the most with my friends is the one that gets the online subscription, and if I have friends on all systems, then I guess that is £40-£80 a year I'm paying then.

Practical as in if he loves a console he'll practically buy every goddamn game for it, yeah.
Back to Crackdown though.
I see the fun I loved in Crackdown, in Crackdown 3, the destruction looks crazy, but would have preferred seeing it in a more live demo environment.
Can't wait to see more, but the state some of these 2016 titles are in I can't help but feel that a lot of them will be slipping to 2017.
Nah, man. Don't forget that nowadays it's okay to release games unfinished/unpolished/broken. Though Microsoft isn't like that, only game I can think that they released like that was Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and they worked for months to fix it.
But most of these games are in pre-alpha, plus I doubt that Crackdown 3 will be released in 2016, most likely in 2017, since they didn't had much to show gameplay-wise.
