Today we got our grubby mits on some new images from the upcoming Crackdown for the XBox 360.  Being developed by the man who created GTA this title has quite a bit of buzz surrounding it.

Update : IGN has posted some details about the game.

"Based on what we've heard so far, Crackdown seems like a futuristic, next generation, Online Grand Theft Auto. You play as a super-human agent assigned to take out the filth that has starting filling up all corners of your city. The city's thousands of gangsters have grouped together into three criminal organizations: Cai-Shen Corp, an Asian gang that uses hitmen to extract revenge, The Volk, a Russian gang that specializes in guns, and La Muerta, a Spanish group that loves cars. Your overall goal as an agent is to defeat the bosses of these organizations, bringing peace to the city.

Real Time Worlds is fitting Crackdown with a realistic game world that offers plenty of freedom to the player. The game's massive city features full day-night cycles and can be explored freely, all the way up to the upper floors of the tall buildings. The city is filled with thousands of characters besides yourself, some good and some bad. You'll also find vehicles, from giant tractors to standard automobiles, all of which can be driven. As an agent, you also have your very own car from the start.

We don't know too much about the gameplay in Crackdown yet, but Real Time Worlds seems to be concentrating on reality in this area as well. Your character, who can be customized in sex and form, grows based on your actions, with statistics tracked for such areas as strength movement, running, gun handling and driving technique. Hit an enemy, for instance, and your character's strength rises. You can even get strong enough to pick up and toss cars (remember, you're not an ordinary human being).

Your interaction with enemies also has some depth to it. Instead of simply taking out your enemies directly, you can weaken them by gutting off their supply of guns and vehicles. Doing so will reduce the enemy's gun and vehicular strength and increase yours in return.

Online play is also being worked into Crackdown. Currently, we know of two Online modes: cooperative play and multi play. In cooperative mode, you and a single friend work together via Xbox Live. Multi play mode is being kept under wraps for now, so we can only imagine what it will turn out to be."  Source - IGN

That is bullcrap!!!Japan Nov 22 America dec 2 and Europe Dec 10 I hope this website is wrong it was posted two hours ago

3 - Well guess i will have to wait
Unregistered - Anonymous Coward 09.29.2005 02:40
The reason for the earlier release for Japan, is that it's good buissness and that's what they demand, for ms to kiss their asses, and they outnumber Americans 4 to 1 whicjh equals more sales sooner.

4 - what site

This is total bullshit!!! I'm tired of microsoft worrying about damn japanese gamers. If they don't want the Xbox 360 fuck them!!! Microsoft needs to worry about the people in America, Europe and all other Foreign Countries (I know Japan is a foreign country I'm talking about other foreign countries). I don't hate Japanese gamers, but I'm sick and tired of them complaining about the system isn't great, It looks wierd, there's no fun games, and wheres final fantasy!! I just hope this is some bullshit Joke, and if it ain't, FUCK MICROSOFT because I'm tired of their bullshit!!!

Nice to see everybody not being able to read for shit. The poster merely quoted that, in some gay website's opinion, Microsoft would have to release the Xbox 360 to Japan first. That doesn't mean they're going to. I'd be willing to bet my pre-order on the fact that MSFT will stick to their announced release schedules. It'd be commercial suicide not to.

Unregistered - Anonymous Coward 09.29.2005 04:49
What is it with all the MS hate at the moment, they're doing a first in that they are releasing the console worldwide at the same time (1 week difference - big deal), it's a great piece of hardware and it has so many great games coming out for it. So what if this game 'may' come out in Japan first, so do many other great ones, we still get most of them and we'll still get this one and we may even benefit from extra features that are sometimes added when getting the game later.

If you hate MS so much may I suggest that you look at the revolution or a PS3 since Nintendo / Sony are clearly so much better at looking after thier customers....and don't buy a 360 but that'll be your loss not ours.

Rant over

18 - well
PAUL CERULA 09.29.2005 07:31
I don't think that's correct. Microsoft better not attempt to appease to the Japanese market because they aren't the country that matter the most, U.S. is. This has to be a typo.

19 - I hope not for their sake
PAUL CERULA 09.29.2005 07:46
I would highly choose otherwise Microsoft. Who are you trying to impress a few 1000 random Japanese citizens while millions of Americans will curse you. You can't fall away from Microsoft's real market that matters don't think that the 5% of japanese who would buy a 360 is more important than the U.S.. I could definately wait until Dec. 2 but Microsoft will experience a noticable revenue deficiancy back in the states. I believe that MS should conquer or at least put up a fair fight against the PS3 before it starts going over seas to grab maybe 10,000. It's not worth the loss to concentrate more on Japan than U.S.. Also if anyone knows are we the dominate console over in European countries. I almost think that is more important because there's far more potential buyers.

I'm from the UK and to be honest I think at first the Xbox was lagging behind the PS2 but in the last year or so has caught up massively as people have only just realised that the Xbox is technically more powerful than the PS2. Since last year demand has been so high that most stores are permanantly out of stock. I got my Xbox 2 Xmas's ago and have already pre-ordered my 360. The 360 has pretty much sold out here in th UK (on pre-order) as well. I think the problem last time was the lack of advertising from Microsoft. In terms of Advertising and promotions Sony definately runs things out here. Its only those willing to open there minds that tend to go for the Xbox. But I think they'll win the next gen war over here.

22 - WOW Look at the GFX

Man I have to say for a nexgen system the GFXs look so awe.......awfull. OMG that looks like the GTA 3 gfxs. Wait I'm sorry it looks worse if you ask me.

Yeah push that 360 to it's limits, if that's it I fell so sorry for a lot of people.

this game looks cool just because it is using cell shading doesn't mean its lame no one has played this yet and i don't care about the trees looking like they do in real life if the gameplay ends up being good on this game i will buy it i will have to wait and see. GREAT GRAPHICS DOES NOT EQUAL GREAT GAMEPLAY. with that being said it of course is a bonus if you can have both.

I just read on a web site that Microsoft has decided to ship all the Xbox 360's to Mars first, because it's important to get an early start there and lock-out the PS3. Shipments on Earth are delayed until Ground Hog Day.

Anyone who responds to Anonymous Posters speading BS rumors when MS has gone on the record and said the retail date in 22 NOV for the USA is an idiot. MS will not change it now short of catastophic issue. In case you dont know how it works... one guy gets on and posts a bunch of BS but if the site admins are smart it logs IPs and then they ban the IP that is spreading rumor or just posting the #1, #2, #3 crap. I know I did that one sites i have run.

hey people for one we expect great gameplay thats what the $50 bucks was for November 22 we pay $60 that is what the graphics are for so it better have both we pay they get paid i could see one or the other before 360 not now! and also you have to look at halo on xbox, was the best looking game now look at xbox games imagine 360 in 2 years and this game does look crapy in the screen they got posted!! just my opinion guys

30 - graphics look crappy
Jeb 09.29.2005 20:12
The people look lifeless - like mannequins or something. Some of the pics also look like old scans from a magazine or something.

Looks like garbage. Sure, gameplay is great and all, but it's hard to get a feeling for that from looking at pics anyway. I want pretty pictures to tide me over until 22-Nov (cue google image search... no moderate safesearch here)

To those saying that the graphics suck. No matter how bad the graphics are, it will still be a thousand times better than GTA's.

Unregistered - PS3Player 09.30.2005 18:09
They can keep that game as a 360 exclusive title, we don't need that shit on the PS3. It's a shame when i compare the graphics of the 360 with the PS3, common the 360 would have done better if it was competing against the PS2, but it's PS3 baby and the 360 do not, i repeat do not even come close to matching the realistic visual qualities of the PS3. SO enjoy the 6 months of next gen, because atfer that it's gonna be game over fo Microsoft and the 360.

You think i make you sick, i think your mom sucking on your dog's dick should make you sick. Now listen bitch, i have had 8 years with Sony, and i have never seen a console that people talk so much about (both haters and lovers). The PS3 is hands down supreme. oh yeah one little thing you sick fuck the playable demos are coming. So enjoy your 360 because 6 months after it is realeased it will be history like the Dreamcast. Long live Sony, one console better than all of them, one console to rule them all, long live the PS3.

35 - graphics
Unregistered - fohammer 10.01.2005 00:25
The dev stated that this game was a comic type of plot. Creativity is what makes games great. I hope that graphics are not the only focus of next gen. If so I will be playing NES for another 20 years. GTA looked like shit on the PS2 but the gameplay was sweet. You had a block headed guy running around a block headed city. PS fanboys bragged about games last gen, now they bost about graphics get a life guys. The over all evperience is WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT. I read about this game in gameinformer and I might have to pick it up. BTW NES is the bst console of all time period. It was fun that what "GAMES: are made to be. TETRIS was more entertaining than alot of these 5 million poly character games that are made today. CREATIVITY sheep this is what sales games. Look at the Nintindo DS hardware in far inferior to the PSP but the games are FUN, maybe you kids can learn something from this.

I hope this game is going to be fun (which im sure it will) and I know its suppose to be based off of a comic, but cell shaded graphics piss me off. I just hope its not just running around the city throwing cars and doing random stuff around a city because their already a bajillion games like that. Each GTA game is the same as the first. STOP MAKING THEM UNLESS THEY IMPROVE ON SOMETHING!

first of all you are making your own argument then arguing with your self go to school read a book and figure out that calling names is childish and i said cgi compared to ingame not playable demos dork and they already said it was hard to develope for it and companys are pulling out i am still going with the next gen thats easy to make cheaper and still looks the same so grow up ps3 fanboy and read a book!!!!!!!!!!

Man i think you need a history class, because you're so into that 360 hype that you forgot if it was the PS1 that came out in 1995. Man if you don't even know that, what the hell are you doing playing games for, i now start to wonder how can a mentally fuck son of a bitch like you even know how to hold a controller, for real man. Keep dreaming , but remember how will you feel when the time come and the PS3 is proven superior, remember how much you brag about the 360, i hope that ina few moths you'll still be able to barg about it. If i were you i would take a Videogame history 101 before the PS3 comes out, because you are gonna thank Sony for it, bitch.

Hey PS3player, I've just come from another thread on this site telling you what a complete moron loser you are, I'd repeat it all here again but really can't be bothered.

Can you please post some links to all this PS3 ingame footage that you've 'obviously' been seeing, I would be delighted to compare it to what I've seen so far on the 360 and please don't post anything for Killzone 2, remember that Killzone 2 - that was only a movie, it wasn't, repeat WAS NOT ingame, just in case you still thought it was (though really, what am I saying, someone of your superior intelligence would have taken one look at that movie and said "Wait a second, that's not ingame, Sony's telling porkies, how out of character for them".

Can't wait to see the links, will be great to see all the (and I quote your words) "realistic visual qualities", incidentally, you're a moron, just in case I didn't mention it earlier.

Keep up the good work you twat

What you're asking is coming my man, just like the President said after 9/11, you will see from us soon, don't worry. Microsoft will come out earlier, so it's normal that they have in game footage first, and since we're coming in 06 don't you think it's a little too earlier for what you're asking for Genius, and you're not a moron you'ree an oxy moron, go contemplate the poster of Billgates ass that you have in your room, oh my who could have have thought that a man of your caliber would spend so much time looking into Billgates hole, you know which hole i mean, his asshole you retarded bastard.

from what ive read in gameinformer this game sounds off the meter ... the multiplayer capabilities seem crazy ... u get ur dudes skills popping in whatever category and use them to ur advantage to do stuff... say like ur a depressed homo kindergarden teacher ... you can climb to the top of your school and jump off ... say that school is from 1744 feet ... it will tell the other players online that your such a coward that u ended your life from 1744 feet ... itll even been on the billboards and signs .. and then you can waste the time of your day trying to better that feat ... sounds good for a stoner, oh yea ... i guess the weapons are crazy and the killing is intense wtih all those bodies around ... anyoen even read on this game ?
