Crackdown devs form new studio! Crackdown 2?

"several members of the Crackdown development team - including lead designer Billy Thomson - have formed a new development studio. And "may" be working on Crackdown 2."

But the Crackdown bit?

"Gamasutra only state that there are "unconfirmed reports" that the studio are working on it at the moment. Though it's certainly possible, what with the composition of this team, the fact they're not at Realtime (who developed Crackdown) working on APB and the fact Microsoft got awful coy the other day about the possibility of a second Crackdown."

Realism in gaming might be all the range, but sometimes you just wanna throw cars at people and then jump over buildings

ZOMG, if this should be announced outta the blue for a 2009 release I will be officially lol Floored and one happy pappy.

On the latest Major Nelsonpodcast, it appears that we may have gotten a hint that someone is working on the sequel to one of my favorite Xbox360 titles, Crackdown. Larry was talking to Phil Spencer, GM of Microsoft Game Studios and they had the following exchange:

Quote: "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."

If it's true then I will totally spaz.no_handlebars

What's going on at RTW? Where is APB?pins_basic

APB is a very ambitious MMO, and it needs a lot of time to develop. They showed it off earlier this year at one of the big expo's (GDC perhaps? Can't quite remember), but anyways, most of the sites named it as their favorite thing at the show, and the video's they posted looked amazing. The character creation is beyond anything we've seen thus far. And there's also a rumor that Rockstar's interested in APB...

[QUOTE="FrozenLiquid"]Great game. Got it for free with the Halo 3 beta.Salt_The_Fries

What's even more weird is how Crackdown ended up being better than the actual Halo 3 game.

we can only hope, crackdown was sweetDante2710

When I finally gave it a chance, I really leant to love crackdown

That would be great, I loved the first Crackdown. Had hours of great fun, and one of the "Oh wow" moments this gen. I was on the second island on top of a fairly tall building fighting off a number of gang hit squads. They groupped their cars around one place, I blind throw a genade and next thing I know it was raining cars, four of them went over the building I was on.

I also love getting the achievements in that game.

It may of been overshadowed by the Halo 3 beta, but after playing the demo I would of gotten it without the beta. To me the Halo 3 Beta made Crackdown alot better, I had a game that gave me a ton of fun, and it got me into the Beta of Halo 3.

Crackdown was a great game. I'd love to see another one.

Hopefully they consider it.
