AfterManor Lordssurpassed the developer Slavic Magic’s wildest expectationswith how well it did, it was clear that it wouldn’t take long before the next big update was here.

As most of you know, I’ve beenspeaking very highlyofCrackdownever since I jammed it into my Xbox 360. But I’m not the only one who thinks so highly of it, because with already great sales numbers and record-high demo downloads, gamers have been warming up to this free-roaming pleasure fest as well. Today, I spoke with Colin Macdonald, Studio Manager of Real Time Worlds (developer ofCrackdown), to get the lowdown onCrackdown.

As-is, it’s pretty straightforward Having playedFortnite‘s battle royale mode since it launched, I can attest to dealing with platform-based issues. After sneakily showing the world that yes,Sonycando cross-platform play years ago, the console giant acquiesced, and opened the flood gates for true cross-platform play. It was the first major instance ofeveryplatform (mobile included) working together, but not everything is perfect (and maybe never will be, due to the adversarial nature of console publishing)....

A chance to do exactly that is coming up: a demo forFusehits Xbox Live and PlayStation Network on Tuesday, May 7. For what it’s worth, this demo supports full four-person co-op online and two-player split-screen; there’s not enough of the latter in modern games....
