Realtime Worlds interview: Crackdown 2 is not in development

Realtime Worlds isn't working on a Crackdown sequel at all, Wilson confirmed to Develop Mag.

Although the team is in some respects "heartbroken", "Microsoft were a little late in stepping up to the plate to ask for Crackdown 2, and by then we had already started working on bigger, better things."

Such as? Realtime Worlds plans to launch its first MMO next year with Webzen called APB (All Points Bulletin) a 'cops and robbers, but multiplayer' style game which Wilson said will place emphasis on customisable characters and vehicles - while a second team including Wilson works on another undisclosed project due in 2009.

not surprised. The game sucked.

I completely disagree. I thought that game was amazing, especially coop.

Crackdown is off the hook...the camera was spot on, which to me is an achievement in itself! Think about the many ways a bad camera would have killed the game...don't talk about Crackdown man...I'll get old Mrs. Timbol on you! lol...just kidding...little inside joke

It wasn't the best. Honestly, it was fun for only ONE reason: The Halo 3 beta. But hey, it was nice for Bungie to throw in a free game WITH the beta.

Crackdown was a classic game. It's been called the best "superhero" game ever made. A part 2 would sale very well but I heard about APB...that game sounds awesome!

Crackdown is THE best game on 360 released so far - almost no contest.

Darren writes: "Despite much moaning and groaning, Xbox has had some smashing console exclusive games during its four generation lifespan. Crackdown was one such game, released in the early years of the Xbox 360"

They’ve been working the past few years and have become proficient in that department so I definitely think they are capable of such a feat. Their BC through emulation that can natively upscale blows my mind and gives them an advantage over competitors using multiple hardware settings which requires higher clock speeds and produces more heat.

I caught Chaos Theory on sale and was actually blown away by how it scaled on the One X.

Ninja Gaiden 2 in 8k please

ziggurcat1569d ago

I imagine that they'll carry over the functionality of the X regarding playing previous gen games to the series X.

They better have good support for backwards compatibly.... Since they have no 1st pay games LMAO 😂

Why are you laughing at your own joke? It wasn't funny.

ElementsUnknown1568d ago (Edited 1568d ago )

“compatibly”, “1st pat games”: Are those supposed to be “compatibility” and “first party games”? Doesn’t really come across as an adult. No disrespect, legit question: is English not your first language?
