The original’s demo ”was fantastic” and they want to ”carry on in that form,” says producer James Cope. There’s no date for it yet though.
”You can definitely expect a demo to hit Live before the game is out but I can’t say when that will be… Yet. The Crackdown demo was fantastic and we want to carry on in that form,” Ruffian Games’ Cope told IGN.
Compacting a big sandbox world into a demo can be difficult, though can often lead to hilarious antics as gamers try to ‘break it’. Crackdown 1’s demo had singleplayer as well as online co-op play, and judging by Ruffian’s comments, it could have the same.
Crackdown 2 is exclusively releasing on Xbox 360 sometime in early 2010.
