Crackdown 3 is in development and is set for release on Xbox One in 2016, according to the prolific NeoGAF rumour-monger, “ntkrnl”.

That’s the same source that gave birth to the Xbox One and Halo 2 Anniversary reports that emerged this morning, some of which have subsequently been verified by other sources.

All of which lends this Crackdown 3 rumour a little more weight. According to ntkrnl, the project is codenamed “Nimbus” and is being developed by Scottish studio Cloudgine.

Who and what is Cloudgine? Well, the company’s website says that it is "building the next generation multi-player Cloud Gaming experience, where all game logic and the rendering for individual clients is carried out in the Cloud.”

These words echo Microsoft’s Xbox One messaging, a lot of which talks up the potential power of cloud processing. So that would seem to lend the rumour more legitimacy.

However, it’s the next revelation that’s most interesting. Cloudgine was co-founded by David Jones, the creator of Grand Theft Auto and... the original Crackdown.

Crackdown was developed by Jones' ill-fated studio Realtime Worlds, while fellow Dundee-based studio Ruffian took over for Crackdown 2. If the rumours are true, it looks like the series may be returning to its creator.

But, of course, the last time everyone got excited about a Crackdown 3 rumour it turned out to be false. And with the rumoured release for the game not coming until 2016, don’t expect official confirmation any time soon.

Oh so David Jones and RTW folks are returning to this game? Now that's awesome. I've been wondering where they are. It's not that they were a bad dev at any moment; they were just a victim of a too big an ambition ala APB, so their comeback to the franchise is welcomed.
 
I remember reading he was pissed that MS gave the sequel to another studio.
 
The original Crackdown was one of my favorite games on the 360, so would love to see the people who created that work on the next one. 2016 is a long ways away though.
 
Yea CD! was an awesome game and i spent a bunch of time on there, CD2 didn't even make it past the demo with me.
 
How sweet would it be if they Made it look like the Damocles bit from Ryse? I'd like a more sophisticated "toon" shader. Making it look like a painting would be awesome.:crazy:
 
There's nothing quite like jumping 30 feet into the air and scaling buildings with just a couple jumps.

The keys to the city DLC was so much fun in 2 player mode.
 
I can't wait. Crackdown 3 is going to be amazing. Ruffian Games is the best in the world at what they do.
 
Sounds cool. I hope whoever develops it doesn't just ignore all the good stuff in Crackdown 2. It gets a bad rep, but it's a genuinely good game.

Hopefully a good portion of the people that worked on the first CD are still there. I know a bunch left to form Ruffian and make CD2.
 
I want fully customizable agents this time around. I especially would love fully destructable environments. I want to be able to throw enemies through walls, ceilings , floors ,windows, etc. I want to rip off pieces of bridges, skyscrapers, walkways, etc and use them as weapons.

During co op play, four heavily armed , souped up agents should be able to completely level whole city blocks if they so desire.

4 things this game must have -

1. Complete character/vehicle customization - hair, clothes, tattoos, car paint jobs, etc.

2. Seamless 4 - 8 player co-op

3. Different locations.

4. Weather.

Extra Credit - Dinosaurs, yes Dinosaurs! Cause, why not!
 
I really don't get why MS didn't do this from the get go. Have BT work on it the very second they were formed. I mean come on now, if they would of done that this game would be so far ahead right now in development. It would probably even have a release date by now even if it ended up being pushed back.

Man MS you dissappoint me sometimes. But looking at it on the bright side, at least we know it's coming, right?

Well if David Jones studio is indeed working on CD3 at least the creator of the series is back on the game, it's in the right hands. I'd much rather have the game come out a year or so later if its going to fine right.

He weren't pissed because they gave the sequel to another studio - he were angry at MS because he felt they were cannibalizing his company after Crackdown turned out to be a sucess.

Realtime Worlds wanted to do the sequel right after they had completed Crackdown - but MS didn't want to greenlight a sequel at the time - they wanted to see how it performed first. And they also delayed the game to be able to bundle it with Halo beta.

With no new work from MS, Realtime partnered up with EA, and started to work on APB.
Then a little while later, MS finally released Crackdown, and it were a popular game, and then MS suddenly were in a hurry, and they opened a studio right next door to Realtime Worlds, and hired alot of the best people at Realtime Worlds, wich were now working on APB to work on Crackdown 2, at wages his company couldn't compete with. :-/
 
Probably one of my most anticipated. Now if they really make a Phantom Dust sequel, this generation will have been worth it by these two games and Titanfall alone.
 
but all of a certains posters rumors have been on the money
sad he was so short lived.. oh it was not on this forum
well
this is suppose to be made by
http://www.cloudgine.com/ whose site has just changed to updating its website:banana:

Just one more day until we can put stuff like this to rest. If Crackdown 3 is going to come out within the next 2 years, I'd say we get at the LEAST a trailer at this e3.
 
I got the first game of Crackdown when it went Gold With Games deal. I need to start playing that soon. :)
