Destruction looks like a multiplayer only feature.

Very smart move reserving the cloud compute based destruction for Multiplayer. Looks amazing.

that's what im thinking... worded weird, but i feel like that has to be the case. single player is not going to allow that amount of destruction.

Thought it was going to seamlessly cut to gameplay with him controlling the guy in the opening clip. :/

Why not, Crackdown MP and SP are both open world

Well I mean you could, you would then just have a single player that REQUIRES an online connection. Moving it to MP only allows fans who just want the traditional SP experience to have fun. At least, I think this is how it is working.

Holy shit, Red Faction Guerrilla's destruction might finally be topped.

Yep. Makes sense you cannot destroy the story city, but having the city fall apart during MP could be cool or just a gimmick. Anyhow, I'm on board, love the first game.

that and MP being always online they can do the cloud compute all the time

Gunplay looks super stiff. Destructions looks pretty awesome.

I'm not saying it's not possible, just hard and possibly silly to implement anyway. So you destroy the whole city... then what?

So they're still using the "power of the cloud" to sell games

100% destructible environments in multiplayer is either going to be glorious or painfully chaotic. I wonder how long it takes to bring down a building? I imagine they're play testing the hell out of it to make sure you can't level the entire map before the match hits the halfway point or something.

I thought the initial thing was actually gameplay at first, and I thought wow, this looks really great.
Then the alpha footage, which - I mean, it's alpha - did not look all that hot.
The destruction does look pretty good, if a bit "eggshell" like... I wonder how they are handling giant piles of jagged geometry, seems like it could be a collision nightmare. I have to admit it didn't seem all that far beyond what we saw in Red Faction.

Disappointed with the stiffness they still have with the gunplay, the MP and destruction looks awesome though
The power of getting stuck in geometry.

'20x the computational power of your Xbox One'
Err.. What the heck does that mean? Are they seriously implying that because you are linked with other Xbone's the hardware capabilities go up by the number of players you are competing with?
If so.. Bollocks.

Not sure how I feel about this right now. The first one was so damn fluid, this looks stiff and a lot slower paced from what we've seen.

No. It's using Compute in Azure so you've got a load of servers in Azure with 20x the available processing capacity of your xbox one. (love to see how that number's arrived at...).

Still does not make any bloody sense to me.
I guess they're still using the talking point that the cloud makes Xbox one more powerful.
You have a fundamental misunderstanding.
I don't know, this looks decent, but Red Faction had more small pieces that made it seem more real. This seems like too much focus on big building falling and not on small stuff.

Looks like fun to me, I dunno
Yes. More gifs please.
