Are you sure you want to introduce the first gameplay videos on the day before GTA IV is released? I mean… really?

Well, so be it, then. It’s Crackdown with a little more powers, and less stylized graphics — which isn’t necessarily a good thing, because it emphasizes the artificiality and imperfection of the character’s animation, and the sterility of a very polygonal New York, which are all made worse by a rather poor camera choice. The developer interview shows a little footage from the Hulk: Ultimate Destruction game and, yeah, it’s just that, with nicer graphics and some gimmicky pseudo-infiltration, and how is anyone expected to care about that this week?
