SneakShot Of Crackdown Downloadable Content

[Psykoboy2]

Team Xbox (http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/13334/Sneak-Peek-at-Crackdown-Downloadable-Content/) has the goods:

One of the Crackdown developers put up a screenshot taken from an upcoming download for the game. The screen shows four buggies, suggesting that the download will include at least a new game type and a new type of vehicle.

4 player mode?

:O

[bone_matrix]

4 player mode?

:O

I hope so.

[shunoshi]

Wow, 4 player mode would make me play Crackdown again for sure.

[Arglor]

looks good... when is it coming out for pc? :D

[AntB]

4 player mode? I bring it on baby. I'll probably finish the rest of Crackdowns achievements if they release something awesome like that.

[Knite]

When there's PC gamers that play something other than World of Warcraft.

[Snipee]

I want! That looks mighty fine bob.

[Worldcrafter]

Take a closer look at the "car" in the lead. I count 5 buggies total! Notice you can see 2 sets of rear wheels, 2 antenna and 2 spoilers.

It better not just be you racing against the AI because they should know releasing a screen like this will get everyone excited for more than 2 players at once.

[Mortis]

Delicious. That reminds me I still have some stuff to finish in Crackdown.

You know, your right.

that is a 3-dimensional car you are seeing. the "2 sets of rear wheels" are the front and rear wheels of one car. I don't see five cars in the picture. I may be blind though.

-edit: I think I am blind. I see the two antenna he is saying he sees.

[Kamalot]

I don't know where some of you learn to count. Thems is four buggies.

[Worldcrafter]

I don't think so. The rear and front wheels look different, but the two sets in the lead car look the same. Plus, there are clearly two antennas.

I could just be on a coffee high, but the front car looks funny to me. :shrug:

[Texas Speed]

This will breathe new life into an excelent game. That and the "Gang Reset" option.

[Arglor]

"clearly two antennas."

I wouldn't say clearly. They could just as easily be cracks in the rock in the front of the cars that happen to go straight up.

All the same. If you squint real close you can even see a slight outline of an additional set of wheels (front wheels) being covered mostly by the middle back wheels on the left side of the front most buggie.

-edit the strongest evidence is the fin on the back i think. It looks really long and oblong for just one buggie.

[AntB]

I see only one lead buggy, you guys are just seeing things. 5 is a bit much.

[GammaLeak]

If you look at the car closest to the camera the driver doesn't look like an Agent model to me. The legs/arms are too skinny. In fact, it looks more like a female police officer than anything. Which makes me wonder if that's actually AI racers...

I could be totally wrong, of course.

[claws]

Looks like four to me, but I'm hoping for a new island or a helicopter or something cooler instead. The long gap for downloadables on this is a bummer ; I guess they're waiting for the Halo beta, I hadn't really realized that before.

[Worldcrafter]

I wouldn't say clearly.
Yeah, I realized after posting that "clearly" was too strong a word, but I didn't want to change my post out from under anyone. :p

I agree the spoilers look weird. They also dip down 4 times instead of 2.

Unfortunately, 5 cars at once makes me feel like it's less likely that this is showing expanded multilayer.

[crashedout]

He's right I see five up there, in the lead there are two. One is a little forward and to the passenger side of the other as I see two sets of antennas, rear shocks and spoilers. Look at the enlarged picture.

[Mortis]

Yes I see that as well. Looks like it will be AI racers as someone mentioned here. I want a new gang with a new city area and 250 more achievement points. Make it happen!

[Nodus]

While i would love a 4 player mode, im pretty sure this is part of a DLC package (or mulitple) where they add 1-2 newvehicles, a new co-op mode/game, gang reset, the remaining 100 achievement points and NPC races. This may very well be a shot from the NPC races feature, where unlike in retail, you can particpate in races vs other npcs ala GTA style. Im sure this likely works with co-op as well and may just be a different color mission ring.

No links sadly but this info was floating around for a month or two and devs have already confirmed the Gang reset, new co-op game mode so its likey this is all in tow.

4 players in the city wouldbe awsome but im fairly sure the lead dev already stated 2 people in the fully functional city was the hard limit.

Does look like a cop. I wonder if they are adding the option to play as a regular peacekeeper, rather than an agent.

Man, that would make the game hard... ;)

[Worldcrafter]

Yeah, I remember reading that too. It would be nice, but it sounds like 4 player co-op is going to take a sequel with a restructured game engine.

[agentgray]

I love how everyone assumes 4 player play when looking at an image of a game where it's very easy to pile up things that look alike. :rolleyes:

I also wouldn't be surprised if that buggy handles like the SUV if you know what I mean.

(Oh, and I can't wait for this DLC).

[CptTripps]

Yeah, the front car looks weird, but if that were two antennae, wouldn't the one on the right be a little lower as it would be farther out?

But yeah, the drivers do not look like agents to me so I am not going to get all jacked about a 4 player mode yet. Gang resets is cool and a new vehicle is a plus.

When is this release coming? And does anyone know if they are charging?

There will definitely be some free releases in the future. The disk only comes with 900 achievement points. Microsoft requires 1000 per game but will allow some of those points to be included in DLC if and only if it's free. However, that doesn't necessarily mean that this particular set of DLC will be free.

[claws]

Could those extra 100 come from the Halo beta?

[wyeast]

4-player would be huge. It'd bring a whole new level of potential mayhem to the game. :D

[Psykoboy2]

Could those extra 100 come from the Halo beta?

No. I remember way back when that the devs wanted to see what people did with the game before they added in those last 100 points. It's all about Crackdown.

[miah]

My guess is its a new gang.

[Squidbot]

Weeee! More superheroes with SMGs! Love it!
And damn you all for getting my hopes up for four players. If it doesn't happen I'll blame you people!
Day. Ruing.
