Never played Cracdown, but this looks cool

What have you been waiting for?

Go out tonight and get it. Probably cost you $10 and you'll call it the best money you ever spent.

 

[Tashi]

Ruffian games huh? What have they done before?

Also, I'm excited to see what seemed like Monsters in Crackdown 2. Also, trailer had 4 Agents on the building...4 Player Co-op?? This game is going to be so damn good.

They're new. They're a lot of former Crackdown Alum

Nothing. It's ex-RTW devs with some others mixed in.

Seems to be in good hands.

Crackdown 2" (Ruffian Games/Microsoft Game Studios). The sequel to the award-winning "Crackdown," "Crackdown 2" is the premier open-ended action experience that lets you be judge, jury and executioner for a vast city. Coming exclusively to Xbox 360 in 2010, "Crackdown 2" will take multiplayer(2) gaming to unprecedented levels for the ultimate cooperative and competitive multiplayer experience, providing you and your friends with the complete freedom to explore, destroy and play as you return to restore justice and peace to Pacific City - by any means necessary.

Nooooooo! As awesome as Crackdown co-op is, if Crackdown 2 is a multiplayer-only I will cry. I'm all for an expanded multiplayer experience in the sequel, but keep the singleplayer game intact. Also, if we're returning to Pacific City I'm really hoping it's almost completely redone, not something ala Stilwater from Saints Row --> Saints Row 2.

 

[forgeforsaken]

I love that even in this trailer there are Agility orbs scattered around the roof tops.

So awesome.

 

[RBH]

I wonder if Ruffian Games is officially apart of Microsoft Game Studios now.......

 

[Tashi]

They're new. They're a lot of former Crackdown Alum

Thanks!

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

Oh good orbs are definitely in. So hyped.

 

[Striker]

Hopefully the map itself is larger. Granted Crackdown 1's map was large, I want more playgrounds!

Such an awesome day.

 

[Mar]

Never played Crackdown

 

[Red]

Surprised the hell out of me. So happy.

 

[TheGreatDave]

We're not worthy of a new Crackdown. It's too great a gift.

 

[LCfiner]

I think the greatest thing that the trailer hinted at was enemies that could stand up to the agents.

Crackdown was awesome for the explosions and the orbs but the cannon fodder enemies were a letdown.

Now, it looks like there'll be monsters to shoot down who actually have a chance of taking you down alone.

very, very excited for that.

 

[Poimandres]

Well... it would have been nice if this was an actual surprise.

Needless to say, keen as mustard!

 

[AndersTheSwede]

This has definitely been the best E3 in a long, long while. Well, at least for those with a 360.

Crackdown 2, Splinter Cell (who saw that being so awesome?), Forza 3 (with gfx this time and in cockpit), Alan Wake (back on track baby!) And some Halo "stuff."

Nice job MS.

 

[abacab driver]

Yep
God I cant wait to see how they make this game better.

 

[PBalfredo]

Crackdown 2? Oh yes, I'm there.

I wonder how much this will tie in with the ending of Crackdown?

 

[McLovin]

Day 1, although I never finished the first one. Hopefully this one will have an interesting story.

 

[Davidion]

Truly, one of the few IPs that I really miss not having on the PC

 

[Ninja Scooter]

What little we saw looks awesome. I thought they'd go in a different direction (you'd figure super cops would eventually lead to super villians!) but i think the whole infected/mutants thing could make for some interesting gameplay.

im not too worried about the change of devs. I trust its in good hands, and it will probably carry over the same engine and tech, which is half the battle.

 

[Truelize]

I really hope they put in a feature where you can make all the agility orbs you have found show up on the map. I'm still missing two of them. I have spent hours and hours looking for them too.

If I could see where I've found orbs surely that could show me where I should look.

 

[Kodiak]

When I played crack down I was all like "this would be perfect if only it had a compelling narrative"

so I was all like "Crackdown 2 baby"

And then they made inFamous which was pretty much what I wanted.


But I guess maybe this is cool, too.

 

[Stat Flow]

Ah. No wonder I thought Crackdown sucked.

STFU and Get the FUCK out

 

[Marvie_3]

I'm missing two as well. :lol Fuckin things....

 

[Fuu]

This will be sooo good.

 

[Spirit of Jazz]

SotC styled boss battles with gigantic mutants anyone?

 

[Ramenman]

When the trailer began I was like "what's that game... It doesn't look like anything I've heard about, I don't know, never heard of this setting..." then I saw the guy make this HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGGGE jump and I thought "wow this looks like Crackd-- wait --ITS THE GODDAMN MS CONFERENCE YOU ASSHOLE, IT IS CRACKDOWN ! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG"

D:

Fucking AAAAAAAAAAAAAAwesome.

 

[Yes Boss!]

Never played Crackdown, but this looks cool

Man, you've gotta jump on that shit ASAP. Still the best original game on the 360.

 

[MaizeRage25]

Best news of the day.

You name drop another game, then GUESS MAYBE this is cool?!

 

[-PXG-]

This and Halo 3 ODST are worth keeping my 360. God damn MS. Great show.

 

[TheChaos]

 

[squatingyeti]

uhhhmmm...

Let's see the rest first.

The first crackdown had Halo 3 beta, right?

What will they say now????

 

[Mr. Pointy]

FUCKKKKKKKKKK


YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Is domestic abuse supposed to be funny?

 

[CitizenCope]

:lol :lol

 

[Tylahedras]

I still think the first game was fun but overrated by the community. This on the other hand... this looks awesome. Love the new look of the cell shading, love the suggestion of non human enemies... love, love, love, love.

 

[AlteredBeast]

Oh yes! Yes!!1 All over my face! Still in my top 5 for the generation. Hell, top 10 of forever!

I don't think it's "overrated," but its critical flaws are often completely left out of the equation. It seems as if they are aware of those flaws, though, so this is on course to become one of the better games around.

 

[Brashnir]

I'm missing two as well. :lol Fuckin things....

I found them for you:

 

[Max Million]

MS really delivered for me this E3. They gave me everything I'd hoped for, a stylish new splinter cell, a halo prequel, cockpit view+insane graphics+car flipping in forza, alan wake looks interesting, a metal gear game starring ninja raiden, but this, this is what i wanted most of all. So geeked.

 

[Phobophile]

I hope they have the Keys to the City available right off the bat. It made for some great dicking around in the first game.

 

[TheFallen]

The whole monsters thing seems interesting. I was kinda hoping for the sequel to be based on the agency taking over the city and you joining some sort of resistance to take them down. Agent vs Agent would've been awesome. Nevertheless, this does look damn good.

...

That is an awesome idea. Since they aren't (?) doing this for Crackdown 2 you have now ruined the game for me with feelings of "what could have been."

Thanks. Asshole.

[Blimblim]

I still think the first game was fun but overrated by the community.

The first Crackdown was an incredibly flawed game, still made incredibly awesome by a seemingly perfect gameplay. It was also very impressive technically.

 

[bathala]

that monster shadow looks interesting.
this might finally do it for me. didn't like the 1st one

 

[blame space]

In what ways did you find it flawed?

 

[voltron]

Why is everyone acting so surprised about this announcement? I 100% expected it based on the last few weeks. Would have been stunned if it wasnt announced.

So, is ANYONE thinking this will drop this year?

Even in that CGI video, I saw the same art style as the first game, and since its a stylized CGI, Im going to assume the same art style will be in 2.

Wait, wat? That was in-game, not CGI right? The announcement trailer? I was sure that was in game.

When their expressions are completely ridiculous it is :lol
