A 3 month bump. Surely you can do better?

Sorry, but Microsoft DID offer it to RTW – they turned it down cos they didn’t have the manpower.
Microsoft have not revealed what is happening with the sequel but rest assured it will happen. Sorry Macdonald, for all your hype, it won’t be RTW

It was worse than that. They anticipated doing a sequel but the call from Microsoft never called, so they moved on to other things. When Microsoft finally realised that they had a closet hit on their hands, RTW were too tied up in other stuff to be able to do it. Microsoft done dropped a bollock. I’d be very surprised if they don’t correct that at the earliest possible opportunity, but it might be years away yet.

They said ages ago that they weren’t going to move onto a sequel, if I recall. In the months after the first one came out, I think.

I must have missed the announcement that there wasn’t going to be a sequel… this is all a shock to me as I still rate it way above GTA 4. Best game of that year imo.

I’d love me some more Crackdown.

I’m surprised so many people liked this very mediocre game… Maybe your thinking of the H3 beta; its only selling point at the time.

I hope we get this. I loved that game as well. Actually, right before GTA4 came out I ‘cracked’ it open and played it again (at least for a while). It was fun and interesting and quirky.

I don’t know the numbers behind it but when I heard that it would not have a sequel I thought that was a mistake. I don’t know anyone who didn’t play it. It was my second 360 game and I loved it.

And GAH! if you’re talking to ‘em at least ask about APB on 360.

Why is it that every single game that truly warrants a sequel ends up being tied up in licencing hell and disagreement between the devs and their publishers? Every single fucking one.

It’ll be a shame if we don’t see any more Crackdown. I thought it could’ve done with fleshing out with a hell of a lot more mission content but the levelling up and stuff was brilliant.

Still my favourite 360 game.

Crackdown is a great game and reamians one of the best on 360. Artistically it’s as good as GTA IV and shows Saint’s Row up for the imposter that it is.

Surely MS can back this?

I *loved* it. It was the first game I played in HD, my proper next-gen cherry. I did explosives and jumping to four, I think. A second one would be amazing.

My second game for the 360 and one if the few I completed. I maxed everything but the driving. Superhero developers take note – that’s how you do it.

A second game would be awesome.

I’d be careful with these tattoos, if I were you Mr. Macdonald. Just look where they took Peter Moore

On topic though some more Crackdown would be great
