Crackdown Details Revealed
Real Time Worlds, creator of the global hit Grand Theft Auto and of the popular game Lemmings, has come up with another title for the Xbox 360 that will definitely be one of the biggest hits this year: Crackdown.
The object of the entire game is to enforce justice in Pacific City by any means necessary, as the city is already a crime-ridden urban center. Anything in the entire 3D playground can be used as weapon to ensure that the streets are cleaned up.
One of the main features that will definitely appeal to gamers is the highly stylized rendering technique that will turn the entire game almost into a living graphical novel. Harnessing the 360’s visual capabilities, this 3D game will be able to show the both the massive backdrop of the city and the smallest details of different elements in the game.
Crackdown has also been developed to “define open-world, free-form next-generation gaming. There is cooperative gameplay that will be able to exploit and explore the full width, depth and height of the city. Waging war against crime syndicates in Pacific City means engaging in high-octane chases either on foot or on wheels through any route possible, equipped with anything that players can use as weapon.
Reclaiming the streets would require the players’ agents in the game to use their abilities through any strategy or tactic. For the agents’ genetic tendencies to increase and later on reach their full potential, players need to hone and develop their gameplay skills. Agents will be able to run at great speed, take death-defying leaps, use weapons and perform impossible vehicular maneuvers.
An essential element in the game is music, so the developers made available more thatn 100 licensed tracks that fall under different styles and genres. These tracks are used to give audio identities to the agents and characters in the game, and also to the different locations featured in Crackdown.
There is a feature in the game wherein players’ actions will stay in place much longer, meaning if one gamer decided to place a barricade made of several vehicles, this will still be there when he comes back with more.
Crackdown is scheduled for release this Fall. Check out these screens from E3.
