Today at the Microsoft Press Conference in LA Crackdown 2 was announced. The game is being worked on by Ruffian Studios, not the original developer Realtime Worlds.
The only thing we've seen so far is a computer generated trailer but we hope to hear more about the game soon. We'll have more updates from the Press Conference as the day continues.

Honestly, this is my favorite announcement from this year's E3. Can not wait for this, I loved the first one... I hate when people keep spitting out that stupid shit about how it was only purchased for the Halo 3 beta, fuck that. Crackdown was amazing.
The only part I don't like are the achievements .... damned "collect xxx amount of this" achievements really get my goat. I especially hated the one that had you hunting for cars. I just ignore those achievements - but doing so leaves a prickly thorn in my mind >_<

I never got all those 300 orbs. And iv heard about people with 295 and stuff... must really suck. There are maps online with the locations, but it doesn't really help that much as you dont remember where you found the other ones, lol
Since Prototype is coming out so soon I'm finding it hard to get excited about this.

"Faith without logic is the same as knowledge without understanding; meaningless"
Plenty of time between the two games' releases to get excited about the freeform mayhem gameplay again.
Have to admit I was just slightly disappointed when I saw the monster shadow in the cinematic - just felt a bit unnecessary to use such a common new enemy when you could have new enemy agents as the ultimate enemy.
Of course such awesomeness would require fully destructible environments so you could throw the other agent through a skyscraper and then pummel him down mid-air through the street. Maybe 360's successor will have the muscle for that.
Apparently it's because of the Halo 3 beta that's on the disk, it throws off the installation methods. I just don't understand why MS hasn't put out a patch or something to circumvent it
I am a HUGE fan of this game. Probably beat it 10 times. It's just a mess o' fun!
But, I have lowered expectations for the sequel. It's a different development group and here's what happened...
Realtime Worlds said that Crackdown was a bitch to create and didn't want to make a sequel because of that. So, they offered the source code to any dev team that would be willing and able to provide a worthy sequel. Well, Crackdown was a HUGE success for MS and they wanted a sequel to this blockbuster. MS then gathered a team and helped to create Ruffian Studios (initially rumored for Crackdown's sequel). Now we know all this to be true and a sequel is being worked on.
So, try to name a videogame franchise that had success after changing dev teams. And I don't mean UBISOFT handing off RB:Six to their various "teams" in different countries.
I am only hoping that Ruffian Studios doesn't break the gameplay mechanics, fixes the low wall weapon interaction issue, adds new weapons and vehicles, aand adds 4-player co-op. That is all this game needs to be successful!
