Crackdown 3 is a game that desperately wants to exist in a universe where Saints Row IV never happened. The multiplayer only comes with two modes, one a “kill confirmed” style death-match and another one that involves capturing and protecting zones, which feels counter-intuitive to the whole bouncing around the map thing that Crackdown 3 does so well. A bland, woefully dated, aimless and deeply derivative open city, which somehow cant even be saved by the presence of Terry Crews. So now, instead of just leveling up your strength, speed, agility, driving, explosives, and gunplay skills until you can beat the next toughest gang leader, you. Crackdown 3 plans to make your war on crime even crazier then before with 100 destructible environments. It sounds tedious, but that is something Crackdown has never allowed itself to be. While it works as a sort of tech demo for this destructive technology (which is fun initially for sure, slamming through walls and watching the debris fly), the rest of Wrecking Zone is so archaic that it only warrants a brief look before it gets old. 'In the multiplayer, its 100 percent destructible, and its forever forever, as long as the game lasts' To be clear, there is destructibility in the campaign, but its toned down for practical. It seems smaller operations have to be dealt with in order to make grander ones accessible, or more easily handled. Being paired with random players isn’t my preferred method in team-based multiplayer, but I digress. But that’s how we’re using cloud compute, to create this consistently fun, fully destructible experience for everyone on all platforms.Ĭrackdown 3 was originally scheduled to release in 2017, but it was delayed several times in order to give developers more time to release a more polished game, it’s now releasing for the Xbox One in less than two weeks, February 15th, the game will be included in Xbox Game Pass.The decision to not allow you to party up with friends in this mode is puzzling, although they have said this will be fixed in a future patch. There are, of course, costs associated with that, so we had to find some balance between the experience and the cost. We could have chosen to spin up more Azure servers.
The reason why the map is the size it is, the player count we have, those are all design choices. I mean, I’m sure there are eventually some limits, but there are no hard, immediate technical limits. There are no technical limits to how big we could make this map or the number of players we could put into it. It means that even if I have an older piece of hardware, I’m not getting a downgraded Wrecking Zone experience.

An Xbox One X will be rendering it in 4K and an Xbox One will be in 1080p or what have you, but a destructive chunk is a destructive chunk regardless of the platform. What this means is that if you’re on a day one Xbox One from four years ago, or a brand new Xbox One X, that experience of destruction will be the same on all platforms. First off it will include a fully destructible cityscape, 100 percent destructible.

We’re spinning up the equivalent of 12 Xbox Ones, that level of cloud compute, to do this lockstep full destruction. Today, August 4th 2015 Microsoft announced more info on Crackdown 3. What we’re doing in Wrecking Zone is we’re running Havok in Azure. He was also asked about how does cloud computing enables Crackdown to destructible scenarios in wrecking zone. Hopefully they’ll fall in love with Crackdown that way, and other ways as well. Does it have something I can play by myself?”, yep, we do. We want to make sure that when millions of people jump into this game in Game Pass and they think, “Well, how do I want to play Crackdown? I’m not really a multiplayer person. The developers, Reagent Games, are referring to this game as 'the ultimate sandbox experience. The cityscape will be 100 destructible, ranging from the buildings to bridges. You don’t need to actually bash anyone’s teeth, but you know what I mean. At Gamescom earlier today, Microsoft announced that Crackdown 3, the first of the games franchises to arrive on Xbox One, will include a completely breakable environment. If you’re in a mood to bash in people’s teeth, be super competitive, we have that mode for you as well. We have this really cool 15-hour-plus campaign. If you want to play by yourself or with a close friend, if you just want to have a relaxing story experience, great.
