Speaking personally to VG247 at Develop, Realtime Worlds has given a glimmer of hope to the many gamers desperate to see a sequel to the immensely popular free-roaming game Crackdown, a much loved Xbox 360 title.

“It was a horrible, horrible decision that we still dwell on,” said studio head Colin Macdonald about the company's decision not to move straight onto working on the game.

“But I don’t think the door’s closed. Obviously, right now we’re tied up with APB and everything else, but hopefully in the future we’ll have the resource and something can be worked out with Microsoft.”

“We would have loved to have seen it. We poured five years of our lives into that game. You know, we’ve got guys on the development team that have Crackdown tattoos, permanent tattoos on their arms. We’re extremely passionate about it."

“But at the end of the day we’re a company that has to do what’s best for the company. We’ve got to stay in business. And the numbers just didn’t add up. We’re not in the business of doing things because we’d like to, if we can’t guarantee that it makes sense for the company. That doesn’t work.”

If there is any god in this universe, he will surely see that this happens.
