Realtime Worlds, the UK developer of cops-and-robbers title APB, has entered administration.
Among many criticisms of Crackdown 2 was the game’s duller colour palette, which swapped out the bright hues of the 2007 hit for duller, grittier tones. The developer said while this was intentional, it will be remedied with DLC.

My morning Crackdown 2 appointment started awkwardly last week. Double-booked. Game not running properly due to a technical mix-up. And then, those things rectified, I cheerfully mentioned one my favourite Crackdown features: Oh, the sequel’s creators said. We cut that.
