It has been four years since the release of Crackdown 2, and now Crackdown is due for a reboot. Crackdown is a third-person, sandbox shooter game where the player makes use of their enhanced fighting and athletic abilities to take down criminal organisations.
The new Crackdown looks to be set in a neon-filled future that is just as ridiculous and explosion filled as we would expect from a new installation in the franchise, and there will also be multiplayer so friends can cause havoc together.

This must be connected to that cloud-computing-destructive-environments tech demo they showed off a while back. The destruction in the trailer certainly looks epic, just remains to see exactly how network-dependant that network-dependant feature will need to be.
Also perhaps i need to see a higher quality video but does it have a slight cell-shaded look?

if you can destroy buildings, the city will be flat after many play sessions. ^_^

Ha ha yes, that crossed my mind too. My guess is it’s probably only for online versus games and the environment resets for each new match.

Looks a long way off, maybe not even next year.

Crackdown = ace.
Crackdown 2 = pants.
Crackdown 3 = ?
Kills for skills Agent. Kills for skills.

Can confirm ico’s review of Crackdown thus far.

Always nice to get recognition for quality gaming journalism and reviews! Many thanks ;)

i wonder how many innocents they would have killed by blowing up all those buildings, just to get that one guy, they probably killed more people than he did. ^_^
anyway, still no female agents. >_<

Now that’s what i call overkill. Be a good subtitle that, Crackdown 3: Overkill.
Still waiting to hear about Just Cause 3 as feel that’ll be my go to sandbox of carnage for this gen.

I found the crackdown games to be really dull
