'Crackdown' And '360 Vision' Cam Demo

[THWIP*]

I WANT THAT CAMERA.

I WANT THAT CAMERA.

Pretty cool that you can make gamer pics with it.

Though, I'd be a bit weirded out if there were people I didn't even know watching me through a camera.

OH, C'MON.......DON'T BE BASHFUL.


I'M MORE INTERESTED IN THE GAMES THAT WILL USE IT, IN PLACE OF SOME CONTROLLER FUNCTIONS. THAT, AND THE VOICE-COMMANDS, LIKE THEY'RE IMPLEMENTING IN 'GEARS OF WAR'.

I didn't know they were implementing voice commands in Gears of War. That sounds pretty interesting. Thanks for telling me about that.

But yeah.. I'm not saying it's just because I don't know them, as much as.. you know there's going to be people on Xbox Live who are going to start **** because you have the camera going and won't let you hear the end of it. So unless I knew the people enough to know they weren't going to be *****ebags about it, I wouldn't use it.

THERE ARE INDEED DOWNSIDES TO IT:

1.) NO MORE GAMING IN MY UNDERROOS

2.) NO MORE SCRATCHING MY ASS/NUTSAC DURING GAMES

3.) .....OR NOSEPICKING

Well, unless you had the camera aimed at your ass and/or nutsac during the game.. I doubt that one would really matter.

True about the other ones.

Though, I also know there are some *****ebags who are going to get it just to mess with people..

I don't know what's worse, you referring to your underwear as underroos, or you mentioning scratching yourself on the boards.

Not one of you has expressed interest in crackdown. That should be borderline criminal.

WHEN THEY RELEASE THE DEMO, I'LL GIVE IT A SHOT; UNTIL THEN, I'M NOT VERY INTERESTED.

 

[Topdawg]

With Saint's Row, the Driver series, and the True Crime series out, the market is starting to get saturated with urban action games. Even if one of the devs involved was one of the people behind GTA, I still wouldn't be interested because other than the super feats, I don't see anything original.

JUST THE FACT THAT THE 'DRIVER' SERIES HAS SUCKED ASS SINCE THE ORIGINAL, AND 'TC' HAS ALWAYS SUCKED, RENDERS YOUR POINT INVALID.
THERE'S ALWAYS ROOM FOR NEW GAMES IN A GENRE, WHEN THE COMPETITION IS VERY WEAK.

 

[Trigger]

True, but it wouldn't hurt the competition to do something completely different. I can't say that about any of the non-GTA sand box games at this point.

That's along the lines of telling Square to stop making FF games because they're all the same boring bullcrap, or telling FPS-dominated companies to not make alien vs. human or WWII FPSes anymore because there's too many of them.

 

[Horrorfan]

But it's basically a free roaming cross between GTA and superheroes!

I can see why you would think the free roam thing is kinda played out, but the whole comic visuals look amazing and the super feats COULD make the game play fresher than ever.

No, it's along the lines of telling devs who plan to outsell FF that using the same formula as them doesn't work. I'm just pointing out the futility of putting out a GTA clone. I'll have to see more of Crackdown though. It may surprise me.

IF THE PHYSICS AREN'T DONE WELL, IT WILL BE VERY LAME THOUGH. FOR INSTANCE, THE PHYSICS IN 'SAINT'S ROW' LOOK VERY DATED, AND THE CAR DAMAGE IS NO BETTER THAN 'DRIV3R'. WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH WITH THIS GAME, WOULD'VE BEEN MUCH BETTER OFF, WITH A NEWER NEXT-GEN ONLY PHYSICS ENGINE, LIKE WHAT'S BEEN SHOWN IN THAT 'CELLFACTOR' FOOTAGE. THROWING CARS MAY LOOK LIKE FUN......BUT IF THEY APPEAR TO HAVE THE SAME WEIGHT AS A TRASH CAN, IT WILL BE VERY CHEESY.

Not every game that's urban-stylized means it's following the same formula as a GTA game. In my mind.. the GTA games were actually sort of crappy.. Outdated graphics.. dull gameplay (unless you count wandering around a town looking for people to kill for hours on end without much challenge besides the police which are even pushovers.. then..) etc. etc. I haven't been too pleased with them.

Which is why copy cats of the same not-so outstanding formula isn't fun. Other than the mysterious Crackdown, show me one heavyily urbanized game that didn't out right borrow something from GTA.

Dude GTA was THE first game to do free roam. Of course everything is gonna be similar in some ways since it pretty much created the genre

But yeah, just because it's an urban "sandbox" game doesn't mean Crackdown is going to suck. Crackdown might very well be near NOTHING like GTA.. so you shouldn't make preconceptions about it since we've not seen much from it. The superheroes thing also, DEFINITELY, steps away from the GTA formula.

It must've been some developer that I was playing against in UNO a few weeks ago or something, because the had a webcam working exactly like what you see in that video. I asked them how they were doing that when the camera wasn't out for a few more months, but they didn't have a microphone, so they didn't answer...

 

[The Last Meatbag]

I hope there shall be good face mapping

 

[블라스]

I hate Crackdown.

You're just mad cause the hero is cooler than daredevil
