7 Upcoming Video Games That Could Cause Major Controversies

Crackdown 3 could surprise us all and end up living to all of its promises. This is technically a possibility. Will that actually happen? Probably not.

The third game in the series has been in development for so long that most expected it would have been cancelled by now. With new footage being showed off at E3 2017, it certainly does seem like Crackdown 3 is actually happening, intact with the "cloud-based destruction technology" that had been promised.

However, gamers will know by now that any footage shown off at E3 is not to be trusted. As demonstrated with previous games such as Watch Dogs, there can be (and often is) a huge gap in quality between displayed and actual gameplay.

Furthermore, Crackdown 3, like No Man's Sky, reeks of a game that promises way too much. Fully destructible environments? Both Just Cause 3 and Battlefield 4 promised this. Both of these games were released nearly unplayable.

At its best, Crackdown 3 will be tremendously laggy, with overloaded cloud servers failing to keep up with the destruction. At its worst, we might be looking at No Man's Sky 2. After all, both seem to be incredibly ambitious game developed by people with lot of great ideas, but not the means to implement them.
