Now a pair of new faces have joined the Scotland-based studio's eclectic cast, including Steve Iannetta, former lead world designer on Wheelman for Midway Newcastle. Iannetta was also a designer on Crackdown alongside Ed Campbell, who also joined the company. With so much former Crackdown talent on Ruffian Games' payroll (most everyone at the company had at least some part in the game's development), the smell of open worlds and explosions coming out of the Ruffian's kitchen is unmistakable.

Microsoft really needs to let these guys handle Los Crackdowns Duos.

Hey fellas who want Crackdown 2, keep your eye on [Prototype]. It's no sequel, but it looks like it could scratch the itch.

No co-op is a major fail.

It looks like these guys are aiming to make the next AAA open world game to take GTA head on.
