Crackdown + Halo 3?

kj · 1st January 2007, 11:57 PM

I'm hearing rumours that Crackdown is going to come bundled with a demo for Halo 3? Anyone else heard about that? if so it'll be a sweet deal.

I have to say, Crackdown is the first game that I've worked on, where I'm actually looking forward to the release, and being able to play it. Even after having worked on/played the game since last December, just picking up the game and messing about is extremely satisfying.

The demo comes out later this month on Xbox Live Marketplace. Keep your eyes peeled

Can't wait to get my hands on it. One of the main reasons is because its a Dundee developed Game and some of the developers are members here, but also because its another Dave Jones game and from what i've heard and read so far it sounds like this years surprise package. You'll have to help me get all the achievements

It's weird for me. This is the first time I've worked on a game where more than 3 people are actually looking forward to its release. It's really weird being able to look at game message boards all over the internet and see people going on about how much they are looking forward to this game coming out, even on the somethingawful forums where people are generally quite cynical of things.

I feel exactly the same. Everything i worked on at Vis was shit and there was no hype about anything. This is the first game that has made me genuinely excited. I've played it almost every day (in various states) for 2 years, and its still fun. There's not much happening here at the mo, so every day i come in and play the game from start to finish. I think it will be cool when we start seeing TV ads and stuff

just read a feature on this in in xbox world. right nit picking bastards eh? lol...mind you, even they are throwing some hype behind it.
it's got a real nice look to it, looking at some of the smaller shots of the driving the colours are really nice.
Think i'll pick it up too, again, it'll be cool considering it's been made by people i speak too on here and has some fresh approach!

PS, if it's pish im gonna rag on ya!!

Give me a week or two to play the game and your ass is grass home slice.

humndislocation · 14th January 2007, 10:25 PM

I reckon when I get this, I'm going to spend ages just getting my skill-levels up, rather than playing the main game, just so I can do all the cool things in the game. Driving skills especially.

KJ, i've had WAY too much practice.

I can level up all my skills before lunch time.
