Still one of my all time favorite games. It hurt to see what happened to Crackdown 3 😔

Gamerheadquarters; "With the jump in power from the Xbox Series X all Xbox 360 and Original Xbox titles that are backwards compatible should be enhanced as soon as they’re available."
They’ve been working the past few years and have become proficient in that department so I definitely think they are capable of such a feat. Their BC through emulation that can natively upscale blows my mind and gives them an advantage over competitors using multiple hardware settings which requires higher clock speeds and produces more heat.
I caught Chaos Theory on sale and was actually blown away by how it scaled on the One X.
I imagine that they'll carry over the functionality of the X regarding playing previous gen games to the series X.
They better have good support for backwards compatibly.... Since they have no 1st pay games LMAO 😂
And xbox one games, there are many underperformed 3rd party games that needs frames boost.

Crackdown is a series of sandbox-style action adventure video games published by Xbox Game Studios. Retro Respawn looks at the first title.
only kidding i want this game any way.
i wish bungie just put the beta on marketplace though.
its so backwards the way they have done it.

so silly.
put it on marketplace and stop messing about.
you could even charge for it.
But it will be fun to smash stuff into people. And Muti player seems awesome.
is the demo gonna go gold?
the games gold so why is it not releasing sooner rather then later?( February 20th )
is this game so overhyped? ok, i understand halo 3 , gears of war, lost planet and halo, but wtf? this game is so overrated, its not an AAA title its not even a C title, why do people like this game? i have seen the previews and some videos, the game just looks like a cross between city of heroes and gta liberty city stories and i mean that in a bad way.
