SP has 4 player coop.
Sumo's name was there because this was a trailer for the campaign mode they are making.
It was announced they were making it in 2015

Sumo was announced to be working on the game back in Gamescom 2015, so a while back. I don't think Cloudgine is really dev support, it's more the technical side, similar to how you'd have Havok in a game. Jones' dev studio is Reagent, who is still on the front of the box.
It's not an excuse. What we saw was from the campaign, not the MP.
Hm, I had no clue about Sumo's involvement.
Ugh. Will it have a 1080/60 mode? I mean 4K isnt going to have the impact 60fps would.
Cant wait for Xbox X2 with it 8K/30 output...like when does this resolution BS stop and 60fps becomes a standard. 16K/30 future, here we come

I just don't buy anything to the scale of what they showed before. All they showed today was explosions and stuff we've seen in countless other games. The showed no destruction, which was their main selling point.
I'm betting on another crackdown 2 at this point. I'd love to be wrong. What they showed left me personally with nothing new to hold on to our be excited about.

Remember that video of the building falling over? What happened to...anything at all like that?
This one:
My guess is demo running on mega powered pc but I'm willing to wait and see
According to Shannon Loftis, multiplayer with destruction will be playable all week at E3 so I'm sure we will get some videos from both MSFT and other media outlets of that aspect.
Edit: Based on the developer interview video posted above it looks like all E3 will be focused on the campaign. The fact that players can be doing their own thing on completely different ends of the city creating different situations not possible with one player definitely sounds cool.
Also, they're talking Crackdown 3 with the devs on IGN live right now.

Didn't look that great. Hopefully mp is fun at least.

Is Ruffian attached to this game?
I think it's best to think of this as two separate games, from what I understand.
Game One: Single-player/4-player Co-Op campaign developed by Sumo Digital and creative at Microsoft Studios (including Joe Staten). Playable offline, basic destruction, gameplay is what we've seen today for the first time.
Game Two: Competitive 10-player multiplayer mode developed by ReAgent Games and Crackdown creator Dave Jones, powered by Cloudgine distributed cloud tech. We've seen gameplay already and it looks like this:
I suspect "Game One" was brought on to complement the 'original' vision of the game following the reversal of Microsoft's original always-online plans for Xbox One.
It's also important to note that these games take place in two different maps and are not in the same location.

Exactly. How do they not show anything remotely close to this? Should have been nothing but this imo. Please tell me this can happen. I want to just tear a city apart.

First reveal was obviously just a tech demo that they put Crackdown name on. It's a shame.
Game looks significantly worse.

Game looks incredibly fun, can't wait! It's the Crackdown I've been waiting for, and then some.
Wasn't the destruction stuff always said to be limited to the multiplayer, since they didn't want to require an online connection for the campaign. If they showed a trailer for the campaign today, how would it have any of the destruction when it is supposed to run on an original Xbox one without connecting to any servers to run the physics.
If they show off anything related to multiplayer and it does not have the destruction I could understand getting upset/angry, but from what I remember they have always said that the destruction (that you see in gifs with buildings coming down) will be limited to multiplayer).

You would think the campaign mode would be more visually, and technically impressive though

This is sounds about right. I hope the single player holds up though since that's my primary way to play. I can handle less destruction if the rest is fun. I wish they showcased gameplay of this instead of assassins creed and sea of thieves.

I thought this game and the leaked demos were the poster game for Power of the Cloud not being bullshit.
Well... it is also 2 different studios and potentially 2 entirely different engines

Looked so flat, saying it looks visually better than the original game is the bare minimum you should expect. Watching the trailer I thought i was looking at a pre alpha of Agents of Mayhem or something.
Then I saw the release date, buried within the yearly winter barrage of big name third party titles. It feels so half assed with some of their games at times.

Yup. Two seperate games.

Eww. Disappointing visuals... didn't really show off destruction... and that song sounds like someone didn't want to pony up for "Black Skinhead." :-/
They just confirmed the original voice over announcer is back on the IGN stream.
Well, yeah. They just confirmed it is being shown at E3 on the showfloor on the IGN feed. People thought it was gone?

Well, crackdown always had a cellshading/comic type of style.
Why should they abandon what was always there?
Just remember everyone thought crackdown looked like crap when they bought it for halo 3. It wasn't long after it was realized just how good the game really was.
They've confirmed it in multiple post show interviews and multiple people have also confirmed separately on Twitter, so yes, lots of reasons.
The ignorance and conclusion jumping is bountiful in this thread.

Thank god. I was worried we were going to get Terry Crews.

It was just a bad showing during the conference. Game still sounds great
They said Terry Crews is definitely in the game but they aren't ready to talk more about his role yet.
2 years....almost 2 years of nothing and this is what they show? This was one game i was excited about seeing and it just looked so mediocre.
When agents of mayhem was shown i was super underwhelmed and thought to myself "This just looks like a poor mans crackdown" But now i find myself feeling the same thing looking at this trailer. Visuals, animations, the density of the open world. I thought it was going to look at least as nice as infamous second son with a refined version of the cool gameplay of the first game (i like to pretend the second game never existed)
This should have honestly taken the on-stage demo slot from assassins creed or mordor too, i think it would have fared a bit better seeing the gamplay loop.
Need to see a solid 15 mins of gameplay or something, because this has actually really dampenned my interest .

Are people literally just making stuff up and spouting it off as fact now? o.0

Thinking about this - this MIGHT make sense. The idea of having a network based processing for a single player game never did and still doesnt make sense.
The idea of having a dedicated server compute this and alter it to the clients WOULD work since they need connectivity to play online anyway.
So the idea destruction is online only makes some sense.
Right, which is why they've always said destruction would be for MP only.
Available in the multiplayer, as they've always said.

I know it has that style, I bought the first two but surely we can expect a little better than this dude? Maybe the multiplayer player aspect will show how fun it is but watching that, it just looked dated to me. Disappointed.
