VG247: Microsoft should get on and announce this. There'll be nothing left before too long.
A UK publishing source has reliably informed VG247 that the unannounced Crackdown game in development at Ruffian is a multiplayer-only effort.
"Crackdown 1.5? That's generous," our man added. "It's more like 1.25."

Still one of my all time favorite games. It hurt to see what happened to Crackdown 3 😔

It’s possibly the longest standing and harshest criticism levelled against Microsoft’s console family, and I can’t say I wholly disagree. However, there are some out there which can slip through the net every now and then. But bucking the trend was the original Crackdown, which was not one of them. It shifted a very healthy amount of units as well as drawing in universal praise from critics. A sequel then, would be a no-brainer."
It was basically crackdown 1 with zombies, was fun but corners were cut, solid game though.
Crackdown 1 was one of the underrated gems of last gen. I loved that game. Crackdown 2 was crackdown 1 with added zombies and gave the map a paint job. Disappointing, but still enjoyed it for what it was with the added wingsuit, toybox mode and 4 player co-op. Crackdown 3 was basically what Crackdown 2 should have been.
While it is unclear at this time whether its a glitch or intentional. Crackdown, and Crackdown 2 are now free for download on the Xbox store.
Hmmm, I suppose if they concentrate on the multiplayer, it could be really really good. GTAIV and SR2 clearly concentrated on SP and although the MP was fun, it was certainly very "Tacked on". A dedicated MP sandbox game could be fantastic. Just gotta wait and see, though.
may sound like a weird comparison but could be alot like dc universe online, superpowered crimefighters teaming up to take on criminals etc... bascially what you'll be doing in dc online
This was one of my favorite SP games. I am not knocking MP, but if this ends up being a new full game, then I want to see a great SP out of this or i probably wont buy it.
The first one was a real surprise at how much fun it was, and addicting to play. There is so much that could be done with a sequel that I still find it weird that they weren't working on anything, or at least they said way back that they weren't.
There probably just making a much better coop experience then they did in the 1st game. This is jumping the gun a bit and honestly I would rather wait for an official announcement of it's existence.
yet in the real world 360 is doing fine !
So much hate and its not even announced yet !
Pathetic !
