Realtime Worlds might be a relatively new name in the games industry, but the talent behind it surely isn't. Founder David Jones was responsible for such DMA Design classics as Lemmings and Grand Theft Auto don't you know – so it kind of explains the design aspects behind their first title, Crackdownfor the XBOX 360. Notable for its sandbox gameplay and even more notable for the free Halo 3 Beta included on the disc, the game itself has been getting a fair bit of rep as well for being pure fun to play. Today SPOnG chats to Realtime Worlds' Phil Wilson, the Producer for Crackdown about the game's release, superheroes and manic fun with blowing up stacks of vehicles. Beautiful.

Still one of my all time favorite games. It hurt to see what happened to Crackdown 3 😔
Gamerheadquarters; "With the jump in power from the Xbox Series X all Xbox 360 and Original Xbox titles that are backwards compatible should be enhanced as soon as they’re available."
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.
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 😂
“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?
And xbox one games, there are many underperformed 3rd party games that needs frames boost.
Crackdown is a series of sandbox-style action adventure video games published by Xbox Game Studios. Retro Respawn looks at the first title.
