Crackdown: coming down with more, via DLC - Image 1In an interview with Eurogamer and its Crackdown community forum, RealTime Worlds producer Phil Wilson could not avoid some of the Downloadable Content">downloadable content-related questions members bombarded him with. Now, Phil cannot say anything is for certain - since "nothing (specific has been) announced for the forthcoming downloadable content" - but it does provide some helpful hints of what to expect in Marketplace.
  • New competitive and one co-op multiplayer modes - one of which was inspired by watching a YouTube-posted video of co-op, Wilson reveals.
  • "Longer term, it would be good to offer multiplayer to more than two players." More than two Crackdown cops? That's more than enough to stop a riot.
  • Looks like no aircraft in the game. The engine is surprisingly powerful enough to include such vehicles, Phil clarifies. But the devs wanted to steer the "verticality" of the game "through vertigo-inducing climbs", and were worried that adding aircraft in the game would break the explorative element of the game.
  • Free DLC, definitely confirmed: a "Reset Gangs" option, because you love to beat the crap out of the knuckleheaded criminal scum over, and over, and over again. Plus an additional mode "to compensate" for that "cock-up" that led to needing "Reset Gangs" in the first place.
  • Oh, and no sequel has been announced - hey, dang it, this isn't DLC-related! Ah, well, now that we've gone and put it in here... Wilson cannot reveal plans for a sequel since "no sequel has been announced." But, later on, he did mention something about "maybe if there was a sequel," there might be time to add some animals (aside from the criminal scum) in the game world. Like birds. To shoot down with rocket launchers.
So for now, no sequels. And no birds to torture. But definitely some forthcoming DLC to dish some TLC to the gangs of not-so-Pacific City.

» DLC better be free....

Considering the ridiculous amount of in-game advertising that is already in the game, and able to be put in the game....
