DrunknMunky Veteran Posted January 29, 2009 Veteran Share Posted January 29, 2009 It?s not going away, and it sounds as though you?re about to hear an awful lot more about it. Newly formed Scottish developer Ruffian is most certainly working on a new Crackdown game, says ?rumour? today, and apparently it?s scheduled for the end of 2009 or early 2010. The project?s being called ?Crackdown 1.5″ in the UK trade, and it?s set in the same city as the original Realtime Worlds 360 classic. Multiplayer?s going to play a massive part in the game, aparently, moreso than the new single-player stuff. Just a hunch: you might hear more about this? tomorrow. Life on the edge, and all that. Realtime Worlds put out a statement at the end of December saying the firm was in ongoing negotiations with Microsoft about continuing the franchise as a reaction to rumour that Ruffian had picked up a second game. Ruffian - the Dundee-based developer comprised largely of ex-Crackdown staffers - was confirmed as open in latSource: VG247rce: VG247[/url] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George P Global Moderator Posted January 29, 2009 Global Moderator Share Posted January 29, 2009 Yeah, why 1.5??? What's up with that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Audioboxer Subscriber² Posted January 29, 2009 Subscriber² Share Posted January 29, 2009 Awesome news, but WTF @ calling your game "Crackdown 1.5" from a marketing perspective. Do they want to get heat from gamers saying they're putting in no effort or something? :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameOverRob Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Lets be honest G.R.A.W. 2 was really G.R.A.W. 1.5 and Rainbow Six:Vegas 2 was really Rainbow Six:Vegas 1.5! Little or no improvements just a set of new maps and a minor facelift with a new/extended story. Mind you G.R.A.W. 2 was amazing! I played both the first one and the second one the other day for about 8 hours lol. I can't wait for the new Ghost Recon. But back on topic, Crackdown was an amazing game it was brilliant fun! and I don't see why the sequel[half sequel] should be any different!

DrunknMunky Veteran Posted January 29, 2009 Author Veteran Share Posted January 29, 2009 All they need to do is add variety to the missions (first and foremost imo) and improve the multiplayer modes and it'll be a hit (Y) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyD Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I don't like the idea of multiplayer focus. While it was fun playing with someone else, I had a whole lot of fun with the single player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
