CVG: I'm seriously worried about the team's state of health, says producer
Darren writes: "“XBOX NEEDS EXCLUSIVES!”. Sound familiar? It’s something that has been ringing in my ears since becoming an Xbox gamer nearly 20 years ago. 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.
Crackdown 1 and 2 were both given for free to Xbox One users to celebrate their launch on the Xbox Live Store and backward compatibility support for the Xbox One. In addition to giving the games for free, Microsoft is now also giving the DLC for Crackdown 2.
Speaking to CVG recently, Cope said he's "seriously worried" about the dev team's health
wow,no wonder way Insomniac stood with Sony for over than 14 years.
crackdown 1 really was a bad game to me
I enjoyed Crackdown 1 a lot and expect a lot from Crackdown 2. Open world multi-player with those explosions will be epic.
It's so bad it give's you cancer.
It would have been nice to include the Halo Reach beta on the Crackdown 2 disc as they did with Halo 3 on the original Crackdown.
I really hope they've done a good job with Crackdown 2. Crackdown 1 was a really great game - one of my faves.
So it seemed simple just to tweak all the flaws in the 1st and dial everything else up to 11 in the sequel! But I'm a little concerned about this zombie/infected angle they have taken.
