Ruffian Games has revealed that it's working on "a couple of new games"...

Crackdown 2 developer Ruffian Games has announced that it has moved on to new projects following the release of its first game.

“Since completing Ruffians first born, Crackdown 2, we’ve now moved onto a couple of new games.” a post on Ruffian’s offical blog revealed.

Eight job postings have appeared on the developer’s website, including an advert for a Gameplay Engineer to:

“Design, implement and test game code and authoring tools within an established game engine/framework. For example, AI, weapons, game modes etc.”

Could that “established game engine” refer to Crackdown 2? Ruffian are remaining tight-lipped for the time being.

“Rather boringly as is the case for most nascent projects we’re unable to talk about them in any detail right now. What we can say is they’re really exciting, high action, visceral titles that are heavily focussed on online.”

TVG reviewed Crackdown 2 back in July awarding it 7/10. Despite being an entertaining experience overall we felt that it was hampered by a lack of ambition, displaying little progression beyond the gameplay of the original.

MY FORMULA FOR THE GREATEST GAME EVER

combine:

the physics and sandbox idea of GTA IV

the (REALISTIC) combat of Batman: Arkham Asylam

the character creation/ customization of Champions/ DC online

and the incredible style and story telling of Bioshock

- basically what the peak of what games like infamous and prototype tried to accomplish

i hope crackdown 3 returns to gangs as i loved the first game but the second game just felt like an add-on rather than a new game (freaks = crackdown 2 = carageddon with zombies, crackdown 1= the splatter pack for carmageddon, normal peds not zombies) just a shame realtime worlds went into liquidation, ABP could have been a mass hit on the consoles.

@game hunter so diving into the tunnels of the freaks and having a freak bigger than King Kong beat the machine which you have to defend, while in the meantime a sea of freaks try to rip you apart isn't a 'boss battle' in your opinion, and there was a much greater feeling of satisfaction when you watch the beacon blow the hell out of the tunnels then when you beat a basically tougher 'normal enemy' who just has 5 more lives. I hope Crackdown 3 really pushes the franchise forward and not just be another Crackdown 1 with more freaks, apparently Ruffian want to leave Pacific City :( but they said they still want freaks ;)

It's a big shame that they've removed the boss battles from the first one and the sense of freedom to approach each gang how you want has been removed.

Its a little bit more "by the numbers" than the origianl one, relying on the multiplayer to entertain.

It was for Crackdown 2. I was there. The reason they thought otherwise was because the people there had worked on that game in the past.

its got to be 8 player, at least so it can be fun only 4 player in a huge city youll be constantly miles behind anyone trying to kill them they also need to make the lvling system a lot harder to max the stats out on the first game i maxed all stats out in a few days it needs to be harder making the game last longer.

Can't wait for the release of Crackdown 2, I loved the first game and I can't wait to see this. Never really played Left 4 Dead though...
