DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 8, 2008 Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2008 Microsoft?s given a less than subtle hint that a sequel to Realtime World?s beloved open-city 360 shooter, Crackdown, is a little more than fantasy. ?I?m here to tell you on behalf of the community, I want - we need - another Crackdown,? Xbox Live?s director of programming, Larry Hryb, told MGS boss Phil Spencer in the latest Major Nelson podcast. ?That?s all I?m going to say, so you don?t have to confirm for deny anything. I?m just saying we want it.? ?Yes, Crackdown?s one of my favourites,? said Spencer. ?I?ll leave it at that.? A sequel to Crackdown never materialized as ?the numbers just didn?t add up,? we were told by Realtime Worlds studio boss Colin Macdonald told us this summer. Macdonald himself said at the time that the studio was open to negotiations on a second game. ?I don?t think the door?s closed,? he said. ?Obviously, right now we?re tied up with APB and everything else, but hopefully in the future we?ll have the resource and something can be worked out with Microsoft.? Crackdown, a first-party Microsoft game, shippSource: VG247s-major-hint-on-crackdown-sequel/"]Source::woot:[/url] Please please please :woot: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-KJ Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I had a lot of fun with Crackdown. It wholly replaced GTA for me when it comes to having fun in a sandbox environment. I hope they make Crackdown 2! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brad. Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Crackdown was awesome (Y) Loved it, hoping for a sequel :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
what Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Crackdown 2 is inevitable. The original was popular because it was (and still is) one of the most enjoyable games around, not because it came with the Halo 3 beta like a lot of people believe.

Smigit Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Yeah it's a good game. Hopefully in a sequal they do something to make the missions more interesting but. Assassinations get a bit dull after a while especially when sometimes you can almost jump straight to the target. Still, I'd love a sequel.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 8, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2008 Crackdown 2 is inevitable. The original was popular because it was (and still is) one of the most enjoyable games around, not because it came with the Halo 3 beta like a lot of people believe. Only trouble was, RTW said they weren't sure they'd be interested in making another one because MS didn't approach them right away to make it. They waited to see if it was a success. It sounds pretty obvious as a publisher thats what you'd do, but RTW took it in the way they lacked confidence in them etc. If I find the article I'll post it, it was published sometime last summer iirc.

FreqFace Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Loved that game. However it lacked replayability and all the missions were pretty much the same. If the could improve on this and other aspects it could be one hell of a game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sethos Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Loved Crackdown! I just hope they add a less repetitive way of gaining skill-levels, perhaps even through some elaborate missions or through 'training' you earn some skills. Game felt more like an MMO where you had to grind skills, specially towards the end it was seriously repetitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remysaus Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I'm actually in the mood to go back and play Crackdown now lol :laugh: same here. still one of my favourites for the 360. speaking of great games from last year (i think), quite offtopic i guess, but was there any news about a sequel for the Darkness? would love to see that too.

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted December 8, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted December 8, 2008 was there any news about a sequel for the Darkness? would love to see that too. Oooh definitely another classic :yes: As for a sequel, I doubt anything is in motion yet. Starbreeze are currently porting Chronicles of Riddick to PS3/360/Windows.

IceBreakerG Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I agree Crackdown was an awesome game. I had a ton of fun playing it, and when you got together with a friend, it was even more fun, just causing chaos in the game world. A sequel would be great, but honestly, I think it should've already been in development lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see them dropping a hint like this if we still have to wait an entire development cycle to see it released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t0mbi Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 i didn't really think much of the first one, so hopefully if they are making a new one, it will look sweet enough to pick up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR3AMxCATCHER Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 I remember buying it just for the Halo 3 Beta. Turned out it was one of my favorite games of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kylejn Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Crackdown was (and is) one of my favorite Xbox 360 games. The ability to jump from building to building was just so awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mystic MVC Posted December 10, 2008 MVC Share Posted December 10, 2008 The original was pretty fun and underrated (and played) because of the Halo 3 beta. Definitely would like to see another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konstanov Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I liked this game, never got around to finishing it because a friend stole it to play the Halo 3 Beta, the ******. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ironman273 Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I remember everyone bought the game to get the Halo beta but then when they tried the game most actually liked it. :D I got it afterwards and really like the gameplay so I'm another one hoping for 2.
