It always looked a pile of shit, and more likely than not, it will be a pile of shit upon release. The game was announced more than 3 years ago? Few more months aren't enough to introduce drastic changes.

I also fear for the future of the studio. For how long have they been working on this game? How many copies should it sell to turn profits?

It needs to be an exceptional game to sell well on a fading platform, as the Xbox sold less than the 3DS in the US last month, the numbers might be even lower next year. The PC crowd is the only hope for Crackdown and the studios behind it.

I think I read/heard somewhere it was around 5years.

And yeah it was shown in 2014, a trailer.

Not sure if it was supposed to launch in 2015 or 2016, but now its looking like 2018.

Its been delayed what? 4 times now?

The question is if it would have been delayed if they didnt do that horrible PR show, with youtube celebs playing it.

They didnt make the game look good, and it got some pretty negative feedback.

There was also rumors of multiplayer not working right, so it would have to launch with only the single player stuff and then lateron get patched in multiplayer. So I can understand the delay if thats true, since the online multiplayer and destrutability are like the main selling points of the game.
