Ruffian Games creative director Billy Thompson has told Edge that although action sandbox sequel Crackdown 2 is in the hands of a new developer, close to half of the team that created the first title are working on Crackdown 2.
“Close to half of our team worked on the original game,” said Thompson. “We’ve got core members from every discipline who worked on it, the majority of the design team, and, depending on whom you speak to, some of the best coders and most talented artists.”
While much of the team remains the same, fans should expect quite a different experience from the sequel.
“From an environmental point of view, you probably would look at it as being an entirely new map. It’s still Pacific City but further on in the timeline. We’ve altered a great deal, and think people who enjoyed the first game are going to be really pleased when they enter this one,” said Thompson. “And we’ve made sure the gameplay’s altered significantly.”
Crackdown 2 is scheduled for release in 2010 only on Xbox 360.
