360 - Crackdown - No sequel to Crackdown? Now this we don't like the sound of. According to the rumour column of US magazine Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM), a sequel to the awesome but short Crackdown will not be happening any time in the near future. Nor will it likely happen with the same developer, if it ever happens. EGM (via 1up) writes: "A Crackdown sequel looks like it won't happen any time soon.

360 - Crackdown - EGM Rumors: Crackdown Sequel Squashed, EA Entering the Octagon The juiciest tidbit from the April issue of EGM is kind of a bummer: A Crackdown sequel looks like it won't happen any time soon. Sure, Microsoft has danced around the idea of making another addictive orb-hunting shooter, but Quartermann says even if Crackdown 2 does come to fruition, original developer Realtime Worlds probably won't be making it.

It also seems like Sony's unique PSP game Patapon will have some sort of spin-off; rumor is something Patapon-related will pop up on the PlayStation Network.

360 - Crackdown - Trusted Reviews: Top 20 Games of the Year: Part One Trusted Reviews: Games of the Year - Part One.

As our Andy noted back in November, it has been a fantastic year for games, In fact, it's arguably been the best year ever. However, all that bounty has left us in a dilemma. We originally planned a top ten list for the end of the year, but looking at the long list of titles we've been forced to expand that to twenty - and even then we've had to sacrifice a few of our darlings and lose a couple of still great franchise updates that we felt didn't quite do enough to justify inclusion: Sorry Unreal Tournament III and Sega Rally, apologies Guitar Hero III, Football Manager 2008 and Pro Evo.

360 - Crackdown - Multilanguage Ads in Xbox 360 Games ConsoleAddicted published a screenshot from Crackdown that proves the fact that advertisement is possible through Xbox Live. The ads in Crackdown ( seen in the photo attached) are also in the local language of the Xbox Live User. This is maybe a reason why lately Microsoft have been filtering IP and due to this fact several problems with buying items from Marketplace appeared.

So, Xbox Live provides us with advertisement in our native language.

September 7, 2007 Crackdown's quality was so doubtful during its production cycle, some of the development team dubbed it 'Crackbrown'. At the Industry All Stars event held earlier this week, RealTime Worlds producer Phil Wilson explained how the game was initially announced too soon (early 2005, in fact) and that early confidence in the game was very low, even amongst its creators. Such adversity certainly helped the team strive for a better game and, according to Wilson, they did enjoy ... » Read More

360 - Crackdown - 1Up: Halo 3 and Crackdown -  What the Hell Happened? In November 2006, Bungie and Microsoft announced there would be a Halo 3 multiplayer beta launched in the spring. In February 2007, Microsoft released Crackdown and promised the hundreds of thousands who bought it they'd have first-day access to the beta. On April 10, the beta received an official launch date, May 16, and an end date, June 6. Gamers became anxious as press and select "Friends and Family" were allowed early access late last week, but 5:00 a.m. PST on May 16 wasn't far off.

5:00 a.m. on that appointed date came and went, though, and the beta didn't launch for Crackdown owners. It wasn't until some 14 hours later -- 7:00 p.m. PST -- that Microsoft issued a patch for Crackdown...yes, Crackdown. There wasn't an issue with the beta -- Halo 3 downloaded and played fine for press and those involved in the Friends and Family program -- so how did Microsoft's biggest promotion of 2007 blow up in its face after months of hype?

"I really believe there's long-term potential to benefit developers, publishers and consumers alike," reckons Crackdown producer Phil Wilson of the recent trend for brand-imaging (shudder) in gaming. It's a controversial statement, and a controversial topic - primarily because it turns us from being gamers into being, as Wilson says, "consumers." To his credit, Phil does add "did I really just call you a consumer? I'll get my coat..." to the end of a column he's written for the latest issue of ... » Read More

360 - Crackdown - Crackdown DLC Deleting Save Files Kotaku.com recently got news that the new Crackdown downloadable content has given people problems with losing saved content.

Kotaku said this,

"The problem's arising from co-op games where the host has the Keys to the City cheat mode enabled, which is resetting some people's data. So long as you don't join a co-op game where the host has this mode enabled, you should be fine."

They were quick to note that its just happening to a "lucky few", as they put it.

Plus they mentioned a temporary way to avoid this problem.
