Yea destruction in a MP game could never be done without teh Cloud Powa.........Not really.

ArchangelMike2669d ago

I mean... I've been loving multiplayer destruction since BFBC2. I didn't know they had the power of teh cloud back then...

I'm not going to say anything. I'm just going to think it.

I know what you're thinking this is nothing like what was shown at Gamescom 2015 - Here's the actual multiplayer demo from Gamescome 2015, nothing at all like what is being released - https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Not even close.

Mike, you mean to tell me you read minds? Lol!

And here I thought I had my Magneto helmet on.

How Red faction made their destruction so dope on ps3:)

King_Noctis2669d ago (Edited 2669d ago )

Was Red Faction’s destruction at the level of CD3?

I don’t think so.

Its like 1 level higher if that...the original demo of cd3 was crazy, what they actually achieved is not.

Wallstreet372669d ago

Crackdown destruction is not tht serious and resources were wasted on tht hyped up bs. Go read polygons preview, destruction virtually non existent in sp and nowhere as revolutionary or even close to what they touted in the mp portion. Stop being gullible just like u believed in Milo and the accuracy of kinect lol smh. Red faction and just cause destruction actually looks better.

PowerControls2669d ago

I've just checked a couple of 9 years old RF3 clips on YT and...they look very good comparing to what I've seen in CD3 so far.

bluefox7552669d ago

Is an 18 year old game's destruction on par with a current gen game? Yeah, I'd say so.

I can't believe the media is still allowing Microsoft to spread its BS like this... When you look at a game like Battlefield that has 64 player maps with all types of vehicles, destructible environments and some of the best graphics out there and then you look at Crackdown 3 with its small player count, below average graphics and environmental destruction that leaves much to desire, How can we with a straight face believe that they're using the power of 12 xbox in the cloud to power it all is a little foolish.

Microsoft is the master at taking something everyone is already doing, but rebranding it with some catchy buzz words and the media eats it all up.

I believe the power of the cloud is a real thing, but believing that every xbox player that is playing CD3 online has access to the power of 12 xboxs is just plain BS. So you buy CD3 for 60$ and you get 3000$ worth of xbox power in the cloud for free. If this was true Microsoft would be declaring bankruptcy the day after the game comes out.

How is Battlefield able to make sure the experience is the exact same for all it's 64 players simultaneously? Vehicles destruction, environmental destruction etc? The cloud!!!

@Skippy

I couldn't have said it better myself; this is what I've been trying to say all along. If BFBC2 could have the level of destruction it did in a multiplayer game 10 years ago then what exactly is cloud computing contributing to the Crackdown 3 player experience now that couldn't be achevied without it? I see nothing significant at all. The destruction in question is nowhere near what was shown at Gamescom 2015 - https://www.ign.com/videos/...

Then check out what they are releasing after all that tome amd money thrown at the cloud - https://www.youtube.com/wat...

Ryan Mcaffrey said it was a science experiment, well if you ask me the experiment has failed. At this point all they have to show for it is all hot air smoke and mirrors that is nowhere near what was promised.

30fps sucks. Especially on an OLED.
