This is sad news, Crackdown was one of my favorite games.

Not only sad, but ANGRY! HULK SMASH!

For as much as everyone hates yearly releases of titles I can't figure out why this is bad news?

So perhaps they revisit Crackdown in a few years...I'm good with that.

APB looks hot, tho.

Sad to here I was hoping for a part 2 with some better multiplayer options!

I was really sad when I heard this. I was really really looking forward to playing Crackdown 2.

It was probably the game I've had the most fun with this year!

That's really unfortunate, I was looking forward to Crackdown 2. Are they afraid that it won't sell well because it can't piggyback on the Halo 4 beta?

I think a lot of people were pleasantly surprised with the free game that came with their Halo 3 beta, in fact, I played it far much more than I ended up ever playing the H3 beta.

I am looking forward to APB, tho.

If they add some more DLC, that will work for me. Be nice to be able to get new stuff without having to spend $60 again. Maybe M$ should experiment with this with Crackdown. It is one of the best games on the 360.

yay! Crackdown sucked(even though I played it thru 4 times and got 900 G). really im just glad because really, there was no story. it was basically

1) Picture and video appears telling you to kill someone
2) Go to that person's base and kill everyone with a gun, your fist, feet, or grenade.
3) Kill the boss

That game was more of a game Jack Thompson should have put a lawsuit against than any others, because it is the most-training simulator like besides the BS superhero abilities.

my point is, all you do is run around and shoot people, literally. Changing the city with a sequel wouldnt change it.

@10 granted, I was hoping that crackdown 2 would have a little more depth, but i still enjoyed crackdown even though it was about as shallow as a wading pool.

just fun to sandbox around in.

Both Crackdown and Dead Rising I thought were great games with tons of potential. There was a few things I would of liked to seen added or improved on and all that got me really excited to see what the next installation would do to top the first. Guess we will never know. If not on this gen i bet both will have sequels on Microsoft's next console. These is no way Crackdown and Dead Rising are going to be passed up completely since they sold so many damn copies. so theres hope.

Crackdown was only fun multiplayer.
I wished they had a 4 player version of Crackdown. then there would be no need for a sequel.

I'm hoping they come up with some new DLC, maybe sell it in a bundle with the stuff that's out now for cheap-ish... I'd sink in another ~10 bucks, but I'd have to get more than like 3 weapons and 3 cars or whatever it was -- significant new missions, at least.

Maybe the halo 3 beta thing really makes them wonder how many bought the game for the game, and not the beta. But i think it would have done really well along, as i bought it for the game, not the beta. I only played the halo 3 beta for 2 days and got bored. I played crackdown for a long time. Its a really good game, just short, and lacks a deep story.

I loved both Crackdown and Dead Rising. I even got the 7 day survivor.

I was disappointed that as soon as the beta was over, it dropped twenty dollars. I was on of those who tried to see the H3b as a added plus. I only played it 2 times. So yea.

Really!? I freakin' love that game! My GF and I would play CO-OP all the time! I think it's a great game! It would have been awesome if it had 4 player! Oh well... sad times.

Well that's a kick in the bollocks. Haven't read the article yet but I hope they didn't mean they'll NEVER do a sequel.

I came back to Crackdown about a fortnight ago to finish off some achievements and ended up getting the PDLC aswell and the amount of fun I've had is unbelievable!

While it did lack a story, I liked the open-ended nature of it.

this is not a correct statement. crackdown 2 is going to be made, but not by Realtime worlds. i pulled this off evilavatar.com:

"TrackZero points out a recent podcast in which Realtime says that Crackdown 2 is being made, but not by them. The author of the Developer Magazine article has noted this."

Damn. Was a pretty fun game. But like a few have save I think we will get a new one down the line.
