Quote: "At level 5, you can jump 15 meters, but there is only so many 16 meter high walls you can have in a game!"

Level 5 is the max so it appears, and you can jump 15 meters, which I believe is almost 50 feet! :D

Not sure if this is 100% correct, but it is from an recent dev blog.

Btw, it's an interesting read, you should dev check it out...

Brings back memories, I remember I desperately wanted a pair of those when I was like 6 or so, so I could jump as high as Michael Jordan! :)

Yes sir, good times indeed. I had the Reebok Pumps too. When you were getting owned, you were like "ok it's time to get serious" *presses the small basketball, and pumps it up*

I mean it didn't help worth a damn, but it was cool doing it back on the Elementary playground :)


But seriously, 50 ft? Thats going to be crazy fun in Co-Op.

Lol, I didn't have them, but I remember having a pair of sneakers that had leds in the soles that lit up every time your feet hit the ground. :)
I can't remember what they're called again though...

Ontopic: Yeah, it seems like it and that is fucking crazy shit indeed! :D

Ok, according to this achievement.......

"Earn 4-star ratings in all five skill areas and then max out your Skills Status meters."

A level 5 rating will not be shown as a star, and that's why achievements only mention level 4. If you pay attention, there's only room for 4 stars in that little box, so that's it. So basically, you get 4 stars and then max out your skills that would be the equivalent to level 5.

And yeah, according to google, 15 meters is 50 feet, damn!!!!!!!! What's the max in the demo? 25? And has this being verified to be the max? I guess I'll try to find out.

They say 30 feet when you reach 4 stars, but it seems to me that as you progress the stat further you can jump a little higher.

A rocket launcher would be nice, although I can turn cars into missles with the mines :)

I got to level 4 yesterday, and from there on, the leveling up starts to get very hard. It takes lots of orbs to earn 5 extra levels. So maybe the demo stops accelerated progression there so we don't get to level 5.

I think leveling gets progressively harder no matter what. It doesn't start on four stars, atleast I don't think so. I imagine that it could work the same way in the retail game, and get progressively harder to level as you get your skills up.

I'd love to be able to clear this up but I was playing with the cheats on and bounding about to my hearts desire! I'm pretty sure from reading though, that that's the intention.

And it seems not all Crackdown copies will have a beta.

http://www.gamespot.com/news/6164781.html?tag=late...

They say the initial shipment which is huge, will have beta access. Since I'll be buying this game from day one, I think there will be no problem in getting a beta.

Well I'm not one much for these type of sandbox games. I rented GTA for the original Xbox and thought it was the best type of that type of game, but it got boring aftter 3-4 hours.

Just cause demo was downright awful in my opinion. I got shot at constantly in the demo an never died. How realistic is that. In this Crackdown demo, the police are always in a shotout right outside where the cars exit. Wouldn't the gangs figure, they are going to get killed in a standoff outside of police HQ. They always do. The vehicle control is decent. The graphics yet stylized are OK, nothing special, and the gameplay is sub-par.
I thought the AI was sub-par, you can't go into any of the buildings. Here you have all of these buildings in this city, and you can't go into any of them, at least not any of the doors I've tried have worked. The boss battles seem very easy, might have been the difficulty setting I had it on. These are just my opinions, but this game is not my cup of tea. I liked Dead Rising much better from an open ended sandbox game format. Dead rising was really good, except for no co-op and only one save state.

If you've seen great examples of AI, give them to me, or if you can go into all of the buildings, tell me which doors to try or what buildings. I've tried this demo 3 or 4 times until the time ran out, but it isn't convincing me yet. Battlestations Midway is a better demo to me it seems, for the demo of the month.

Yeah, that is some SICK shit! 50 feet... woot! :D

And remember, this also means you'll be able to run faster as well, and that means you can jump quite a bit further as well! :)

After playing the demo a couple of time now, both alone and in co-op, I'm sure I'm buying this game.. It's just to much fun, perfect game to let loose in.. And co-op gives it that extra bit longlivity you miss in other games of this type when you did all missions and/or got all upgrades etc..

Unfortunately, it appears that the demo max is the same max as the retail version.
This has become clear to me after visiting the Crackdown forum.

Refering at that dev blog I posted here earlier it appears that the so called "level 5" is infact 4 stars, as in:
level 1 is 0 stars...level 2 is 1 star...level 3 is 2 stars...level 4 is 3 stars and level 5 is 4 stars.

So that other thing he mentioned in that blog about being able to jump 15 meters high was nothing but an exaggeration (I however call it a lie).

So, the only thing that will happen when you max out your abilities (4 stars and fill up the meter) is that you'll unlock an achievement, you won't get an extra final power up or whatever.

It's a bit of an disappointment, but I can live with it nonetheless...
