When Microsoft announced Crackdown 3 all the way back at E3 2014, it touted the fact that series creator Dave Jones was returning to head up the project after being absent from Crackdown 2’s development. However, it was revealed last week that Jones is no longer working on Crackdown 3, but he apparently doesn’t think his departure is that big of a deal.
Jones’ involvement was said to be crucial to Crackdown 3 development because his Reagent Games’ Cloudgine cloud technology was powering the impressive environmental destruction that’s been positioned as one of the game’s main selling points. But Jones recently chatted with GamesIndustry.biz about leaving the project, saying it amounts to “not a lot basically.”
