It doesn’t fit ”what makes Crackdown” right now says producer James Cope, but says it’s ”about mini-games” so Natal could happen next time.
”I think Natal as an experience is great because it’s opening up a kind of social gaming thing and there’s a good place for that. I don’t think that fits with what makes Crackdown, Crackdown right now,” Ruffian’s Cope told CVG.
”But that’s not to say it doesn’t fit in with what we want to do with it in the future… we have an opportunity to look at Natal… Because Crackdown is a bit of a non-sensical world and it’s about mini-games and having fun within that, we can look at building mini-games that make sense for Natal into the Crackdown universe,” he continued.
Recently Valve’s Chet Faliszek swore that they would never make any mini-games for Natal because the concept is tiresome, though Natal itself is great. Crackdown 2 releases exclusively for Xbox 360 this year, from newly formed Ruffian Games.
