Terry Crews Is On Crackdown 3 Trailer, No Cloud Computing For Single Player

Crackdown 3 is one of the most highly anticipated games on the Xbox One’s lineup, not least of all because it’s one of the few exclusive titles coming to the marginalized console. Microsoft released the trailer for the game that comes with the obligatory explosions and considerable selections of firearms. It also featured gaming community favorite Terry Crews. Unfortunately, it’s not all good news, especially on the single player front.

The last time Crackdown 3 made an official appearance was back in 2015, where Microsoft provided a demo for the game. The recent trailer did a good job of making it up to fans, which consisted of many things that went bang and boom. Retaining its cell shaded, neon theme, it’s still the Crackdown of old, The Verge reports.

Opening the trailer is movie star Terry Crews, the Oldspice spokesperson himself. After a brief, yet intense monolog, viewers are shown some gameplay aspects, which includes a ton of jumping using the jetpacks and blowing people away.

The game is scheduled for launch on November 7th for the Xbox One and Windows. This makes for a relatively short waiting period before gamers can start knocking down buildings in multiplayer. Speaking of which, this is where the bad news comes in.

Back in 2014, Microsoft announced that the game would feature cloud computing aspects in order to make the environment destructible. All well and good, but the company recently clarified that this was only for the multiplayer mode.

For single-player, gamers will not be able to enjoy as much of the destruction. Then again, the game might more than make up for that by absolutely slamming players with a huge amount of content and enemies to destroy as a member of the elite forces that cracks down on crime.

What’s more, the game is coming out the same time as the newly unveiled Xbox One X, Kotaku reports. Crackdown 3 would be a great testbed for bringing out the full power of the console.
