As the story goes, a representative for developer Vogster told TeamXbox earlier today that the Xbox 360 version of CrimeCraft had been canceled. The Unreal Engine 3-powered MMO shooter was first announced this past April and has largely slipped under the radar since.
Since its initial publication, a representative for Vogster has gotten in touch with various outlets, including Joystiq, to clarify the situation. According to the rep, a 360 version "was toyed with in early development but ... [we have] always planned on it being PC only at initial launch, with the potential for additional platforms down the road." Move along, folks, nothing to see here. Full statement after the break.

I work with Vogster and CrimeCraft do need to check in with you to clear up the PC vs. Console version information regarding the upcoming CrimeCraft. Apologies for the confusion.
To be clear a console or 360 version has not been 'canned'. The 360 SKU was toyed with in early development but the team has been focusing on the PC SKU and has always planned on it being PC only at initial launch, with the potential for additional platforms down the road. Xbox 360 included.
Many thanks in advance for you help and understanding on the matter.

You lost my interest at "unreal engine 3 powered".

They lost my interest at "MMO." Then they lost it again at "CrimeCraft."

Because of course, that is going to dictate the game's design.

First and probably last im gonna hear of this game, which is a shame because a shooter MMO would be interesting.

Crime Craft.(People have no shame.)
To top it off, they all look like rogue ravers who put down put down the glow sticks in favor of guns. What are those JNCO jeans? Graphically it might look shnazzy but that's about it IMO.
[-50] to Vogster for their originality.., :P

I'm sure the people can agree that what we really need from an MMO is Grindcraft.

Is it bad that I had never heard about this game until this post?

I've played free MMO's(Runescape, Maplestory), free shooters (combat arms, etc), and I can freely say that they do not deserve to go onto consoles. They are playable only because they're free, and I personally wouldn't invest any money into any of them.
