The promising cops and robbers title, All Points Bulletin, which shut down after a mere two months in operation, could be turned around, providing that someone has “nine months of hard work” to spare; said Codemasters’ general manager David Solari.

Solari is convinced that if someone brought the title, whether it is to resurrect the game or to re-purpose its in-game technologies, it could still be successful. Then, he mentions that the titles customization system will “definitely” be preserved and end up in future titles.

“That game could have been successful but the cost of development and everything else was a huge thing. The money it had to make to support that was very high risk. If you could take a smaller team and make all the fixes and operate at a lower cost then it’s fairly unique: there’s not really anything else in the market out there,” Solari stated.

Beside reports stating that the game is an on going discussion, during the Microsoft keynote, Microsoft unveiled Crackdown 2 via a trailer.

Coming exclusively to Xbox 360 in 2010, Crackdown 2 will take multiplayer2 gaming to unprecedented levels for the ultimate cooperative and competitive multiplayer experience, providing you and your friends with the complete freedom to explore, destroy and play as you return to restore justice and peace to Pacific City — by any means necessary.

Lets state the obvious, we all know that developers are working on more games then they have announced, but with a developer like Realtime Worlds you can’t help but wonder what have the been working on the low, low?

Anyway, with a game like Crackdown under his belt, ex-Realtime Worlds developer Ross Nicoll revealed the projects that he has spent time working on at Realtime Worlds. And one of the games he spent time working on was an “unannounced project” for Realtime Worlds.

Here’s his work bio via his LinkedIn: “Started out At VIS Entertainment in 2003. Moved to Realtime Worlds in 2005. Member of the Crackdown audio team that won the 2007 “Best Use of Audio” BAFTA award. After Crackdown, I worked on APB, and another unannounced project. Left Realtime in Feb 2009 to take on the role of Audio Design Lead at Ruffian Games – www.ruffiangames.com.”

Another interesting point: Rumors have been floating about that Ruffian Games was formed to work on Crackdown 2. So, what is the “unannounced project”. We know that they are still working on it.
