Hmmm. I wonder what that game could be. If it is actually a new Crackdown, that has to be the worst project name ever.
If the rumors are right, the Scottish developer formed of former Crackdown staff is working on a new Crackdown game scheduled for release for the end of 2009 or early 2010. The folks at VG247 say that this "1.5" version is set in the same world as the Realtime Worlds Xbox 360 original.
Another rumor says that there will be an announcement tomorrow.
So what is this? An upgrade? Judging by the project name, is this not a full sequel?

I was excited for Crackdown, but as I kept playing it the more I felt let down. As way to unleash aggression and blow random crap up, it's great, but for some reason I actually went in and expected a worthwhile story.
Better be priced accordingly though.
The ending of the first Crackdown was a complete cop-out...that is all
I kid - Crackdown is one of my favorite titles from the 360, I would love more of the same.
I love Crackdown 1, and am writing a big ol blog about this shit right now, AND I'm glad that it's in the hands of most of the original team. But I don't want this half-assed sounding bullshit. I want Crackdown 2. Not, sorta basically Crackdown 1 shit.
DO - NOT - KILL - CIVILIANS!
