| Azzanation said: This wont be a profitable game as Crackdown games don't normally break the sales barriers however I think its a loss they are accepting to lose. Crackdown is more about showcasing this technology then actually making a GOTY contender. In my opinion they will lose money now but in the long run I see more devs interested in this technology and will probably start using MS servers which will allow for better income. |
I think Crackdown is a case of a game that has a lot of potential but was never tapped.
Crackdown 1 & 2 had a lot of freedom and verticality in a sandbox game, when it was not a hot aspect yet.
Crackdown2 had 9 months of dev time and it never followed up on the success of its predecessor.
Crackdown done right could be a blockbuster for MS. All the ingredients are there, especially with the creator back, Dave Jones the creator of GTA series.
