Its been speculated for a while now that Ruffian would take over the Crackdown sequel. I didn’t know how true it was at the time, but  people were wondering how some supposedly former Realtime Worlds(RTW) developers create there own start up and looked to have alot of financial backing. Either way David Jones CEO of RTW thinks this game should be handled by a more seasoned developer.

The bottom line is that what we thought would happen is that a sequel would be done by a studio somewhere… maybe one of the internal studios, or others that they’ve worked with, and that would be the way it went forward.

I think it was unfortunate that it had to be with a start-up in Dundee… it is challenging to get enough developers in one region as it is, so that was the only little big of negativity to the story.

It’s just one of those awkward moments. In terms of the franchise, as always – as with anything we’ve created – we’re always keen to see it do great things. This is like a bump in the road… was there really no way it could have been done by one of the studios Microsoft shut down…?

I was a bit miffed at Microsoft that it happened that way, but you live and learn

I’m  not to keen on the word “miffed” but I know he is “Pissed”. And I agree. This game has potential to be a legendary franchise, but throwing it in unproven hands can ruin it. Even if you have former developers who worked on the original, its still a new organization. Only time can tell, if they pull it off.
