Microsoft used their presentation at Gamescom to debut a new trailer for the upcoming Crackdown 3, with it highlighting the game’s newly unveiled 100% destructible environments, made possible via cloud computing.
The game being cloud-powered allegedly makes it 20x more powerful than it would be if powered by the Xbox One, and the alpha gameplay footage highlighted in the trailer showed a glimpse of what we should expect when the game is released in 2016.
Though I’m a little embarrassed to admit that I found myself blown away by explosions, I have to admit that those are some pretty darn incredible looking explosions. Seriously. I’m wondering how a fully destructible environment that looks this good can possibly be replicated on this current generation of hardware and maintain even a vaguely consistent framerate, but I guess we’ll have remain optimistic about the magical power of cloud computing.
Check out the trailer below:
