looks good but its not my type of game

Pure comicbook action! I just hope they add a little more emphasis to the power of the character, he kicks and jumps around like a ballerina instead of an uber-powerful special agent.

If only I could run and jump like that.
I'd never be late for work again...well not too late ;)

Much improved, I watched this last night.
The early videos weren't that good, the physics looked way off..like you were playing on the moon or something.
This video is much better, the physics while a bit funky are a lot more belivable from a "superhero" point of view, the cars explode better when hit by a missile and don't fly around like cardboard like the first videos showed.
The graphics appear to be tightened up a bit too, definately a lot more comic-book looking rather than something in-between like the earlier screenshots and videos showed.

I'm still up in the air on this game, everything I've read leads me to believe that there is no "story" per-se but rather goals to achieve. I don't know if that is something that I'd want to play. I like sandbox games but after GTA and Saint's Row it will be difficult to go from a story (even a crappy story) to something with no story and just a giant sandbox.

The smooth action seems to be great fun, but for some reason I'm not very eager on getting this game.

why would you think that this game has no story, or less of a story than saint's row?

I don't know what you read that gave you that impression, but it's simply incorrect. There's just as much story here as in those other games.

During E3 there was a presentation video floating around where the developer (or whomever was presenting the story) basically intimated that there was story narrative / cutscenes. THat means there isn't a story so to speak.
Saint's Row has a story, perhaps cliche but still a story and characters in it. So far I've not heard of any story from Crackdown.

Isn't that proof there is a story?

I don't get your logic here

edit:

*no* story narrative/cutscenes. I'm lookin in my archive to see if I can find the actual video where they talk about it.

this is ALOT smoother im actually impressed

I like this game but saint row will keep me going, nice video.

Yeah, they lessened the hiccups on explosions, but those physics are just sooo wrong.
I don't think I could stand playing a game that feels low grav all the time.

Can't they keep the gravity normal, and just increase the power/velocity/momentum, or whatever?
Sure we are a super cop/hero type guy, but it's still planet Earth, is it not?

I'm very interested in how this game will turn out.

Playing this game multilpayer will be a BLAST!

I get what you're saying about the story. I saw those videos too. I think the presentor (informal as he was) did a poor job of explaining the story mechanics. I think he was trying to say that the game's storyline is less linear than lts say GTA.

There are some other writings and videos where it's explained (in no great detail) that there's an overall story and goals for completing the story, but that those goals can be executed in any order (and in any way?) that you want.

Still a little vague, so I guess we'll just have to wait until more info is released.

BTW: nice use of the word intimated.

holy crap the physics look horrible. i also hate that stupid "no gravity" type of thing. and what is it with him flailing his arms around like a moron when he jumps?

i don't like how when you kick someone they "float" into the air. it just looks dumb. same with the way the cars blow up, they look like they are floating too.

i think this game looks kind of dumb.

Looks like the hulk

It looks stupid, and the animations are too ugly for the power of the 360. Explosions look fun, but when you get closer, they look like crap.

looks like GTA (only your the good guys) crossed with Unreal Tourny

I can't believe people are dissing this game. Finally a game that looks and feels unique and it's not another GTA clone. This game also has coop which is a major thing.

I am corrected. OXM had this in an interview:

futuristic GTA with your role as an anti-cop :P

kinda like a black (i think he's black) punisher of the future, who is a cop... wait nvm..

deffo on my most wanted list - love the art style and the level of freedom

that game looks good but whats the point of it? it seems like some dude it just killin a bunch of people.

Looks promising but based on this video I feel it might take the physics thing so far as to render them too trivial. I mean I like saints row better where physics, and the fear of physics gives them meaning and weight. You fear getting run over by cars, you fear being blown up by secondary explosions, you fear weapons (or would if the difficulty was set higher).

Here you just jump around in godmode and lowgraw and blow everything away, not even pausing to admire the destruction. Whats the point of driving a car when you can jump over the buildings faster to get there.

Could be just a badly directed video though. And def still a good contender in the GTA-genre for money of fans.

what i really like about in this game is the level och CO-OP.
Imagine that you and your partner have to stop a big a** truck right? so you two decide that you are gonna have to throw your friend in to the truck, you do so and the truck gets f***** up but still it stopped... now i dont know if this is possible with the truck thing but im hoping that they have a good physics engine.
