Crackdown 2 isn't even out yet and already there's talk of DLC. But in news that is positive for the industry as a whole, developer Ruffian Games is collaborating with independent developers to produce the new content.
BAFTA-winning studio Proper Games Ltd is in charge of the DLC strategy as a whole. But they have brought on board a brand new independent developer and consultancy named Spilt Milk Studios to assist with the project.
From Bussiness Wire: Rockstar Games is proud to announce that it has acquired Ruffian Games. Based in Dundee, Scotland, the studio will operate under the new name of Rockstar Dundee.
“We are thrilled to have Ruffian join the Rockstar Games family,” said Sam Houser, Founder of Rockstar Games. “The Ruffian team are a talented addition to Rockstar’s global studios, and we look forward to working together on future projects.”
Ruffian Games is now Rockstar Dundee.
Definitely looking forward to what they will make especially for the next gen consoles.
Yeah their history points towards being tasked with producing online content.
On an unrelated note, after RDR2 I had my fill with Rockstar's formula (GTA/RDR). I need something new from them. Something fresh especially gameplay -wise.
I would love if R* main did Fantasy or even something space related.
After loving every GTA game up till the most recent one I can honestly say I'm over it. I don't care about GTA Online even the slightest and the humor and content in the single player just doesn't appeal to me the way it once did.
At one time just the fact that GTA was a huge open world was a selling point now that's not a big deal anymore, and whats left isn't as good for me as what I can find in so many other open world games.
Well that's a nice unexpected surprise. Hopefully this helps their plans to release more games faster they mention a while ago.
More like increasing staff for their GTA V online. I haven't play any Rockstar games since Read dead 2.
Even more employees to work on GTA5 so the game can see out next gen, the gen after that and potentially at a squeeze, the gen after that
I'll take it in VR, otherwise don't bother, just get on with GTA6 or a Bully sequel!
VR sounds a little too hopeful, but when you think they implemented first person mode for this gen and they got LA Noire onto PSVR, one can hope. Especially with the extra power afforded by PS5.
Since I began with my online business, I am raking $42.4 every fifteen minutes. And, as unbelievable it sounds, doable for you is, as well, cause I’ve never had a job as easy as this one. Everyone can do it, with no exception. I suggest you, Don’t pass-up this hot chance, which you can do even in your spare time for some extra bonus bucks to your main source of income, because you might regret it afterwards. Anyway, here’s what you have to do to get started …... https://bit.ly/33IeL2o
PSVR 2.0 might be the solution to that problem. We might even see GTA 6 in VR at some point.
Not only did we go a whole gen without a new GTA, they have the audacity to release a full priced Reremaster on PS5/XSX.
The online on free on ps5. Same as cod warzonen is free . But normal game is costing
check this out PS2 generation got 3 GTA games (GTA 3, GTA Vice City, GTA San Andreas, more if you count the PSP ports).
GTA V got 3 console generations (PS3, PS4, and now PS5).
It goes to show how screwed up game releases are now. We barely get as many "new games" or IPs than we did back in the PS1 - PS3 era. Now, it's all Remasters and like 1/4 of brand new titles and on top of that nothing risk taking like Parasite Eve (just the first example to come to mind).

It’s possibly the longest standing and harshest criticism levelled against Microsoft’s console family, and I can’t say I wholly disagree. However, there are some out there which can slip through the net every now and then. But bucking the trend was the original Crackdown, which was not one of them. It shifted a very healthy amount of units as well as drawing in universal praise from critics. A sequel then, would be a no-brainer."
It was basically crackdown 1 with zombies, was fun but corners were cut, solid game though.
Collecting those orbs and upgrading your character were addictive, it was just a shame they played it safe instead of going all out, didnt take anything away from how fun the game is though.
Crackdown 1 was one of the underrated gems of last gen. I loved that game. Crackdown 2 was crackdown 1 with added zombies and gave the map a paint job. Disappointing, but still enjoyed it for what it was with the added wingsuit, toybox mode and 4 player co-op. Crackdown 3 was basically what Crackdown 2 should have been.
