So, like...you think that all of the games that MS will release over the course of the new generation should have all started development before the PS4 reveal? Games will continue to get prototyped throughout the Gen. I know it's a weird time on GAF right now but come on Swift lol
Really strange hired lately at MS.

No of course not but I found it odd is all
And to be clear I was referring to the tech demo. I know gears started as a tech demo but surely that's a rare occurrence?
How long do tech demos take to make? Games I can kind of wrap my head around the time commitment but tech demos I'm less familiar with
Oh no doubt, it just doesn't line up with the November 2012 - March 2013 dates.

Lots of games start as tech demos. I don't have a list handy but I've read it before in interviews with developers.
Also I was just kinda fucking with you, hence the "lol".
Fair point.
I'd say development could have began in November 2012, but based off Spencer's recent comments, it seems MS will start developing a Crackdown in the future.
Oooh at this one.
Yup. Not go too much OT - but really excited to see their game finally.
Have to go out. I'll leave this one here.Go berserk, Odd. We all know you've got more in store.
Hmm that's interesting then
I don't really get tech demos though, I mean I get why you have them but how do you go about making them?
Do you get handed down specific requirements every time or do the higher-ups ever just go make shit look cool?
Oh and no worries jay I know you meant nothing by it.
So when can we expect a new crackdown then do people think?
I love the first 2 even if the story was crap. I got that SUV to the top of that skyscraper it was glorious
If Ruffian's making it, 2015 at the earliest (if that). If someone else has been making it (which I highly doubt), then probably 2014.
Safest bet though, is that the IP's on the back burner for a bit.

CRACKDOWN 3!!!!!!
That's an amazing thread title if you don't know that ruffian is referring to a studio called Ruffian Games.
From what I've read it sometimes starts as just some guys trying out ideas, the ideas seem cool so someone higher up says to keep iterating and eventually they may get a green light to get with another group to apply that to an existing game or even green light it to be it's own game. The sad part is that I usually read this about games that got cancelled
Two ex GoW dev hires.
Hmm, one might think that MS were planning to create their very own God of War....

Eh, I would not read too much into that. People with talent will put it to good use no matter what genre, style or franchise.

I was really excited until "tech demo".
November 2012 - March 2013
Code lead on unannounced next-gen project using Unreal Engine 4.
I doubt it. Not that I think that Ryse and God of War are similar particularly but I don't think MS would want two sword fighter games like that.
I hope MS have an RPG or two in the making.

But there is also
I missed that the first time I read it
Yeah, I think Ryse might turn out to be MS' answer to God of War. Even though both don't particularly have much in common apart from the fact that both are visual showcases for their respective console and both seem to share a love of big set pieces/over the top storytelling.
I'd be down for an RPG or two. A new Lost Odyssey would be nice.
Take this with a large grain of salt but there was a reddit AMA with a "supposed 1P MS insider" who said Ryse was built from the ground up to compete with god of war
He said some pretty terrible things though and pretty sure the consensus was it was a tales from my ass sort of thing
Still it's been hinted at for some time that Ryse might indeed be MS's answer to GoW

Black Tusk Studios game that was shown for like 30 seconds at E3?
Tech demo after console release? really?
I don't see how its hinted, what do the games really have in common? The use of swords? The gods thing which we don't know how its interlinked into the story? Ryse plays completely differently to God of War...
Yeah, if I remember right a GAFfer proved it was bullshit. But I imagine even if MS never says it in public they probably see it as ticking a "God of War" box.
Wouldn't surprise me if that does turn out to be the case. I guess we'll see if Ryse turns out to have any supernatural elements or if it'll remain a more grounded affair.
If they do choose to turn into a franchise and have the games remain grounded, I think an alternate history approach to storytelling in sequels could work very well.

AMA? Pretty sure was a /v/ screen cap, nothing that valuable like an AMA.Take this with a large grain of salt but there was a reddit AMA with a "supposed 1P MS insider" who said Ryse was built from the ground up to compete with god of war

Crackdown 2 was a mediocre at best game with some pretty ugly visuals, I don't understand why so many people here are in love the franchise. Just let it die folks.
