magik Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 If you got your hands on Crackdown already, download these four free agents. The set includes a character with Sam Fisher style head gear. Hey why no female characters ?Name: Four-Play Pack Price: Free Availability: Gold Members in all Xbox Live regions except Germany Dash Details: Before getting busy, download and get into the action with these four new Agents MNFrom the comments... As for why there is no female characters...(http://www.360monster.com/newspost.php?id=0000001682) Why are there no controllable female characters in Crackdown? Unbelievably I’ve never been asked that before, but I always expected the question! The main reference point for the main character in the game that you can see on the box and in most of the screenshots we’ve put out – the big African-American character – was Blade. He’s big, strong and stylish. Initially when we were working on that character we were also working on a female character who was more inspired by Trinity from The Matrix. Again, very powerful and very stylish, but there was a lot more grace to her movement. We got really far down the line with her, but to be honest we ran into two issues. The first was our visual level progression. With a male character it’s very easy to bulk them up and make them look bigger and stronger, beyond Arnie and into the Hulk. But if you do the same visual process with a female character she suddenly loses what makes her different to the male character and becomes quite unattractive as an avatar. We could have found a way around that I think, but the bigger issue is that Crackdown is a huge game that lets you do so many things. The amount of character action work that went into the game was therefore enormous and we had to nail every movement, there was no question about that. So, unfortunately, we had to let the female character get shelved, but I’m not too upset about it because of the quality we managed to achieve with the male characters. I do miss that female character though. She was really cool. I’d love to see her into a sequel... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guyro Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 im not too worried about there not being a female character but i do hope they bring out a sequal, there would be so much they could do with the story, like why its a freemason symbol for the agents Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I don't think Crackdown will do well enough to warrant a sequel anyway. Wait 'til they stop handing out Halo 3 beta (stupid IMO) invites and watch the sales plummet.

Wait 'til they stop handing out Halo 3 beta (stupid IMO) invites and watch the sales plummet. See this is exactly what the crackdown developers said. They knew most people would just write the game off as a GTA clone so they cut the deal with MS because they knew it would help get the game into more hands and they were right. Once you play crackdown you will recommend it to everyone whether they like halo 3 or not. There are moments in crackdown when your at full agility taking leaps of faith from building to building that I have not seen any other game duplicate. The store is a bit shallow, but overall the game is highly replayable it's truly a grand sandbox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
