Microsoft has been talking about leveraging cloud computing to supercharge the Xbox One since before the console even launched, and if reports coming out of Cologne are accurate, Crackdown 3 might finally be the game to make that dream a reality. Crackdown 3 comes with two modes: one is playable offline, and should be pretty familiar to fans of the series. It’s the online mode, however, where things get really interesting. The team is promising a full, 100% destructible environment, where players might be able to blow the base out of a building in order to topple it into another one and take out a crime boss in a symphony of rubble and fire. It’s the sort of sandbox fantasy developers have been questing after for years, and developer regent games says that they’ve been able to leverage the computing power of Microsoft’s cloud to actually make it happen.
