You're going to want to look at these shots, agent.
Microsoft is over in Japan, reppin' its wares at the Tokyo Game Show as we speak. At this very moment. Other people are on the TGS floor even now, looking at video games and getting shouted at through megaphones. How weird is that?
But not me! No, I'm sitting on my couch, showing you the very first screenshots from Crackdown 2.

What do you think? I'm perhaps a little too excited about Crackdown 2 because I'm willfully ignoring the first game's problems. But man, if they fix all of those, it will be a fine game indeed.
Also, as promised, some bonus new Alan Wake screenshots. I recommend that you look at them.

Glad to see Crackdown 2 has the same look, albeit the graphics in these don't look improved at all. Alan Wake looks like he's doing a lame, campy photoshoot.
Crackdown was so much fun but it was way too repetitive. If they can make 2 more varied then I will fully be on bored. Also, make it easier to level up your driving ability.
Jazzed for both of these titles. The first Crackdown really got hold of me, and Alan Wake has been coming for such a long time I can't not check it, even if it turns out to be a disaster.
God dammit. Why monsters? If there is some sweet brick-crushing, window smashing wall-running and some underwater swim-to base-raids or something, then Crackdown 2 might just be a good sequel. But those ideas are way too cool for anyone to adopt. Way easier to make monsters.
I'm up for a new Crackdown. Infamous sort of gave me everything I would have wanted from a Crackdown 2 (story!), but I wouldn't mind going back for some guns + cars + superpowers.
CD2 pics aren't neccesarily that epic, except for that armor that looks freakin bad ass. Way stoked for that game because it's almost guaranteed in my opinion that they fixed a lot of the firsts problems, can't wait to see videos of gameplay. Alan Wake looks cool too even though in every pic he's shining a flashlight or someones shining one on him. Hope the whole game isn't based around...flashlights
Alan Wake is technically very impressive, but I must say, Alan himself always looked lightly awkward- like he doesn't know how to move his arms naturally.
Holy shit. That suit they are wearing in Crackdown 2 is awesome. I didn't want the game after the mediocre first one... but if I get to wear a suit like that...
Crackdown was pure awesomeness in my book the first go-round and this new one looks to take care of one of the major gripes I had originally; no super-powered villains. I'm not 100% on the mutant thing, since Prototype and InFamous had them too and these three games are too often mentioned in the same breath, but I am willing to hold judgment for now and just enjoy the idea that my agents will once again be leaping from rooftop to rooftop in pursuit of chaos...er, I mean "justice".
With it being a 2010 release I'm hoping those Crackdown 2 screens are early in development. The tiny pics don't help but graphically it's looking shoddy at the moment.
Disspointed that CD2 engine is going to be identical. I wouldn't at all mind more style to the game. The old game had a style, but very little actual style. Plus not the greatest technical achievement in games. Even for an open world game.
Alan Wake looks aright. Fearing another Alone in the Dark though =/
