The Agency is recruiting again: First Crackdown 2 trailer
So begins the first trailer for Crackdown 2. The trailer subsequently showcases one of the Agency's supercops doing what he does best. If you've played the first Crackdown, you'll know that what an Agent does best is basically to be a complete and total badass. The only difference is that this time, it looks like the Agents just might have met their match. We won't spoil it for you, so just go ahead and give it a watch.

Kills for skills, agent, kills for skills.
I hope that cheesy narrator is back, just make his lines more varied and accurate.

I was under the impression it was the other way around...

Heh, I turned his voice off after a while. It got pretty annoying because he said the same thing over and over again.
I cannot wait for this game, I loved the first crackdown and this looks to add things that might actually be a threat to your super-human powered enforcer.
Anticrawl @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:46AM
Should probably turn the volume on your computer up, because he is the man talking in the video.
aaron @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:50AM
Good grief...
I haven't seen anyone get the lines right the first time in months...

I loved that guy. My favorite was "I can see my house from here"...half the time he said it I was just hanging out on the ground.
Brandon @ Jun 12th 2009 1:03PM
It wouldn't be Crackdown without the Voice in my head, telling me to kill, giving me the skills.
Professor Lario @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:21AM
Awesome and can't wait. Love how they started the trailer with the orb sound.
Good job todayJoystiq!
Alex @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:22AM
Damn, stoked they are actually making a sequel to Crackdown. Love me some skyscraper jumpin!
Dopple Boppler @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:24AM
Why couldn't they have talked about this for five minutes instead of showing some random dancing car trailer for Forza 3 during Microsoft's conference
Joe @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:25AM
Maybe its only me but I like the car videos of forza 3.
Random G @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:32AM
Your not alone. I enjoyed them as well.
Drew -- PS360: uphillbothways @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:49AM
But it's the definitive racing game of this generation!
james @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:25AM
I hope this game actually trys to 1up itself gameplay wise. Improved graphics are certainly there but I reallllyy dont want it to feel like crackdown 1.5.
Premature ejaculation man @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:28AM
What I want improved is the AI. I felt it to be a bit strange that they were all such sharpshooters who could all swivel 'round and shoot me with a shotgun while I'm 100ft in the air when I so much as looked at them.
shamowfski @ Jun 2nd 2009 2:23PM
Stay away from infamous then. Everyone with a gun is highly trained head hunting sniper.
VaultICEE @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:30AM
HELL TO THE YES.
Blank-Mage @ Jun 2nd 2009 2:54AM
Dante's Inferno being Yes to the Hell, I would assume.
Caboose @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:30AM
this was a good game.. but whats with the infection type game play? we going to be fighting zombies this time arond ?
Tonicboy @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:05AM
What are you on about? I'm not sure how you got infection or zombies out of anything in that trailer.
Blank-Mage @ Jun 2nd 2009 2:55AM
Left 4 Crackdown 2: The Sprequel.
NukeAssault @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:34AM
This is gonna be amazing! I only just bought the first just a few months ago but after i finished i knew i wanted more. Dont wanna jump the gun but... there were four guys on that building... 4 play co-op? Either way i cant wait to see more.
F1: Basu Gasu Bakuhatsu @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:35AM
I don't know. Last time I played this game I got shot in the head at the end...
R (XBL: Esoteric Lord) @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:36AM
Yeah, we need an answer to the "wtf" ending of crackdown 1.
Blank-Mage @ Jun 2nd 2009 2:56AM
Not that a headshot would really kill you, though. Might give you a light headache, but it's not like the Agents really thought much anyway.
Brian @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:45AM
first was fun in terms of the running and jumping but the driving and shooting always felt "meh"
so hopefully thats is better i dont need lock on it always seemed too easy but the jumping seemed so real when you fell i loved it
Vidikron @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:55AM
I thought the driving was pretty good. Once you got your driving skill maxed out it was a lot of fun. The shooting could be improved, but it was better than GTA and most other open world games.
Blank-Mage @ Jun 2nd 2009 2:58AM
Needed bigger streets, though. Your car was too damn fast to navigate those roads.
Brian @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:47AM

Anticrawl @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:48AM
The ending of Crackdown was a perfect setup for an interesting sequel, but instead it seems as though they ditched it for the current gaming "hot plot."
Premature ejaculation man @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:51AM
Indeed. Unless of course these crazy enemies are also quite powerful. So they'll kick you off buildings and slam on your face on for you to throw them up in the sky followed by a few rockets...
But I'd still rather be fighting against the agency or converting new cities.
Anticrawl @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:51AM
By the way don't underestimate the power of news on the 360. They had several of the gameplay videos up before they were posted anywhere around the web.
rv @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:50AM
Please make agency tower 100000 stories tall. That is one of the most fun parts of cdown 1.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:53AM
Base Jumping was the best part.
They should put a save point at the top,jumping down from there is a lot of fun.
Manly Mcbeefington (Mr. ESC) @ Jun 2nd 2009 12:51AM
"The best view in the city,agent"
/staring at wall
wait,what?
"The best trailer in the whole E3 Agent"
/watching petz trailer.
Wait,what?
This is awesome.

"I can see my house from here"
ORB ADDICTION, I FEEL THAT BURN AGAIN
MisterSquared @ Jun 2nd 2009 2:36AM
There's a flood coming Agent, you've got an Ark to build.
Brian @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:08AM
it was better then older gta's but i played gta 4 with lockon turned off and i loved it
and i suppose the driving did improve with skill points i was biased after the begining haha
Arkm @ Jun 2nd 2009 1:56AM
This actually caught me by surprise. Awesome. Looks like I'll be up playing this until 5am every night, just like Crackdown in 2007. I'd better get ready.
Vcize @ Jun 2nd 2009 2:20AM
YES!!!
Katana @ Jun 2nd 2009 4:19AM
I had to rewatch the trailer because I didn't think it was in Pacific City again until I saw the skyline on the logo. Then I realized that the whole trailer is in La Mugre, but that the land seems to have been extended, and somehow the tower is right next to the island. So small changes maybe but it looks awesome.
Also whoever said it's following the hot trend with zombies and/or monsters, you must be forgetting about the freaks that ended up running around towards the end of the first one. This seems like a bigger, meaner version of them.
Boff @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:24AM
Thankyou!!! My day has just been made!
Nice vid, bit worried about this 'new threat' living in the sewers.
Maybe it's Crackdown2: Agency v TMNT. You heard it hear first.
Oh, and 00:28-00:29 Mmmmmmm orbs... I can feel the addiction coming back already!!
Boff @ Jun 2nd 2009 5:25AM
*Heard it HERE
sorry
Brandon @ Jun 2nd 2009 11:30AM
Can you do me a favor and NOT put "The Agency" in the article title unless its talking about the game with that name?
MrTroy @ Jun 2nd 2009 3:48PM
If this game doesn't pick up RIGHT from where the last one left off... I'm gonna scratch my head the entire time I enjoy the rest of the game.
Masker @ Jun 2nd 2009 6:44PM
Would be awsome if we could use our old characters.....
Doug @ Jun 2nd 2009 6:11PM
Looks just like the GI Joe Trailer. ;)
