Crackdown Update Coming

When you first put Crackdown into your Xbox 360 early next week, you'll find that the game will immediately prompt you to download an update. Since the game went gold, Microsoft found a few small areas for improvement in the matchmaking and cooperative net code. Read the full story to see Microsoft's official word on this matter.

nice that they caught it and fixed it before it was released, and then people started complaining.

DJ6954d ago

how those without internet connections are going to get this update. (since system link is affected too). Does Microsoft let you transfer updates for any game from a PC to a 360?

Detact that harddrive and take it to a friend house.

Seriously, it would be really really sad if you didn't have some sort of high speed internet connection in your house by now.

High speed internet is like cable. Most PC's nowadays only have CAT 5 inputs for internet connections.

If you own a 360/PS3/or Wii for that matter and you don't have any sort of high speed internet in your house, tough sh1t I say!

Every one of the systems needs a high speed or wireless internet connection to be able to download anything from the internet. That means patches and updates for all three will need high speed. When the PS3 library starts to grow, you will see what I mean. There will be games that need patches, I promise you that! And in turn you will need high speed internet to download.

Not for games. You can get dashboard updates burned on a CD then update the console, but not games as far as I know.

If normal gameplay is affected? I mean, i don't play online, will i need this patch to enjoy the game?

If i am reading correctly, this is just for system links and cooperative. Any knowledgable person's take on it would be appreciated...thanks in advance.

Havince6954d ago

you most prob wont need the update anyway. but who doesnt play online ?????? thats the main question......THATS JUST CRAZY

miasma6954d ago

i used to on my computer years ago. Now with all the games i play (and it's nice to see there are so many), i really don't have the time. I spend hours as it is playing when i get free time. And running two businesses cuts into that time as well...

Ravenator5296954d ago

You'll still be fine. First off, the patch is for co-op.

Second, you obviously have an internet connection. You can still hook the 360 up to internet and download the patch (even with a silver account). That's saying that you even plan on playing co-op through the system link option. Which from what it sounds like, you probably won't do that either. So you shouldn't have to worry about anything.

That's it. Problem solved.

Looking Back to 2007 and the controlled chaos of Crackdown on Xbox

Darren writes: "Despite much moaning and groaning, Xbox has had some smashing console exclusive games during its four generation lifespan. Crackdown was one such game, released in the early years of the Xbox 360"

Xbox 360 & OG Xbox Games Should All be Enhanced on Xbox Series X

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.

Ninja Gaiden 2 in 8k please

ziggurcat2196d ago

I imagine that they'll carry over the functionality of the X regarding playing previous gen games to the series X.

PS4XBOXONEPC2196d ago

They better have good support for backwards compatibly.... Since they have no 1st pay games LMAO 😂

Why are you laughing at your own joke? It wasn't funny.

ElementsUnknown2195d ago (Edited 2195d ago )

“compatibly”, “1st pat games”: Are those supposed to be “compatibility” and “first party games”? Doesn’t really come across as an adult. No disrespect, legit question: is English not your first language?

And xbox one games, there are many underperformed 3rd party games that needs frames boost.
