    It isn't like this new developer should have to lasso the moon to live up to any expectations. The first Crackdown was a sloppy, generic, story-less game that would have sold about 25,000 copies if not for the Halo 3 Beta being included. i think it held most peoples interest for about a week or two.

    @Stru: I think not. Crackdown was loads better than games like Assassin's Creed, which I paid full price for and haven't complete the first level. If you don't feel like playing the story mode, just blow stuff up or have rooftop races, car races, go exploring, or "superhero" across town for fun. One of my favorites is to ride on the back of an AI controlled car and see how they freak out because I'm riding on the back.

    @jlarimore: Yeah, I gotta agree even though it seems like such a stretch compared to the more "big name" action releases out there. It's just a ton of fun and not tied down to tedious, repetitive side mission garbage plaguing too many other titles seemingly inspired by Crackdown.

    @Cranker: Bullshit. I might have thought his feelings where pure but look at that awesome burn he gave MS for the closed studios... that's rife with bitterness :D He's just slinging mud everywhere with little regards to who it hits... not very professional but perhaps honest (maybe a little too honest).

    The argument that having another studio in the town makes it harder for them to recruit is a false one. There are at least 5 studios here in Guildford, and it doesn't make it any harder to find people...


    Game developers go where the work is, for the most part.

    @Flabyo: Yeah, seriously. It actually helps with recruiting because potential hires know that if your company ends up being a hellhole, they won't necessarily have to sell the house to get their next jobs.


    It's not like there was some big pool of potential employees that can't afford bus tickets out of Dundee. Dur? Sounds like someone is afraid of a little competition.

    Seems more disappointed about the news. Sounds like he wanted a more well known company to pick up on the franchise, so that he can sleep better at night that one of their babies is being taken care of. This is more like Microsoft sold their kid for crack.

    @xAnarChisTx: MS asked Realtime to make Crackdown two ages ago. The passed it up since they were busy on APB. I guess this may have something to do with the split... business is ugly most of the time :(

    @kidko: Let me remind you that Ruffian Games is from Realtime Worlds. Soooo, I think it's much more an underlying, displaced jealousy. I think he's jealous through his stupidity of working on an mmo which is slowly declining in interest and lost the ip to his former co-workers.

    @Wade Anderson: Or could it be that it's going in a weird direction with monster mutant things attacking the city? Seriously that's a bit jarring when you think back to the first game having nothing of the sort so I'd be worried about them ruining it too, and I am.

    @Tyr4nt: Mutants attacked the city in the last few campaigns in the original Crackdown. While I'd say the tone of the sequel's trailer does seem darker than the original game, it's still a pretty natural extension of the story.
