Crackdown Interview With Phil Wilson
>> Today from XboxWay
XboxWay has posted a great interview with Crackdown producer Phil Wilson. Here is a small excerpt:
[QUOTE]
How do you feel about the Halo 3 Beta being attached to Crackdown?
Phil Wilson: That was an interesting one for us. It makes sense for Microsoft to do the Beta this way, and obviously with Halo 3 being a Mature rated title it did limit the types of games they could do this with. To be honest, if this is going to be happening I'm delighted that it's happening with Crackdown. It's obviously going to put more copies of Crackdown in people's hands and while we would hope that people are buying Crackdown for Crackdown, we're confident that if people buy it for the Halo 3 Beta they'll still have a great experience with our game. So it's all good.
Why is Crackdown different to other Xbox 360 games of its type, like Saints Row and The Godfather?
Phil Wilson: I've mentioned other GTA-style games already, but when you look at games like Saints Row and The Godfather the main difference we have is that Crackdown is a completely free-form game. Those other games gave you a level of freedom within an environment, but there was still a linear progression through the game. You had to do this and that to get there. In Crackdown it's really up to you. You can level up your character any way you want. You can take on any of the Gang bosses from the very start of the game. Even when you get down to t he level of the individual missions there are so many ways you can approach them depending on your skills and abilities. We're finding that as we see people play the game they're approaching missions in ways we didn't anticipate, which really shows how the game lets you create the kind of experience you want. Those are the kind of experiences you want to share with your mates, and we're hoping that a really strong community grows up around Crackdown as a result of that.
