RTW: We'd be 'gutted' if MS gave Crackdown 2 to another dev

Talking to videogaming247, Realtime Worlds studio head Colin MacDonald addressed the recent Crackdown 2 rumors, specifically the fact that Ruffian Games was developing the sequel.

"Although to date we haven't had an offer from Microsoft for the Crackdown sequel rumoured, we continue to have ongoing discussions with them" admitted MacDonald adding that if Microsoft were to chose another studio to make the sequel, they'd want it done by "by an established, renowned developer that had the track record of delivering the quality gaming experience Crackdown players would demand." MacDonald confirmed that a handful of ex-Realtime employees have gone to Ruffian, but that the majority of the team remains and also made it clear that they doubt MS would chose a "startup on RTW's doorstep" (Ruffian) to develop Crackdown 2.

Stil no Crackdown 2 rumor busting or confirmation, but this is turning into a developer soap opera. How entertaining.

This is turning out to be quite a story tbh. First of all RTW said they weren't sure if they'd make another Crackdown because MS didn't approach them "quick" enough after the first game. They made it out like MS wasn't confident in them to pull it off with the new franchise. Now MS has created a new studio and RTW are acting like they don't want someone else to do it but themselves.

Make your mind up! Any more drama and its going to get in the way of making a successful sequel :(

RTW should just shut up and go finish APB instead. Christ, how long is it ago that they've announced it?!

Some considerable time AFTER Duke Nukem (is taking) Forever was announced :p
