Coco Posted June 21, 2009 Share Posted June 21, 2009 Just stumbled onto this on Eurogamer. http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/apb-preview Seems like something I'd really love and very much like the game I imagined a GTA sequel to be. The jist is that you have 100 players in a city full of AI civilians. You take jobs as and when you want, from several competing factions. This means the players will have to compete to finish there respective missions, all in the one city. Sounds class, and is also going for a very detailed customization system too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4-CZttp_Cg Seems to be confirmed only for PC atm, but is also expected for 360 next year... One to look out for... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 That customization video looks like it's as good as the game itself. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthnufc Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 Found some info on the game: The hook to APB then is not leveling your character up and increasing stats on a spreadsheet. Personalization drives characters, Jones believes, and so as you get good and progress in the game you look cooler. A starting player will have nothing more than jeans and a t-shirt and stand out as a chump. An experienced player, well let's just say the difference is completely obvious from the start. To begin, you choose to play as either a member of law enforcement or a gang. Everything here is player driven -- you won't be running around taking quests and reading extended text stories from NPCs. To keep things from falling into anarchy, a few basic rules are in place. The enforcement side has law and order built into the rules. The gangs have to act like organized crime where permission to commit a crime must be obtained prior to the act. If you're playing as a gang, your job is to commit crimes and steal things. If you're playing as the enforcement, it's your job to stop them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthnufc Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 This looks like its going to be a really good game, can the xbox handel 100 online tho? I can answer my own question We were shown a video to demonstrate how the gameplay works. The gang, having decided upon a target of an armored car began moving into position. Without having committed a crime yet, the enforcement is oblivious. As soon as the gang commits the crime, an APB goes out. Here is where APB is so clever. The servers automatically match a similarly skilled set of enforcement agents to deliver the APB to in a dynamic form of matchmaking. You'll never have a clue who you'll get matched up with. It's all done automatically based on stats. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Espio Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Anyone got this for PC then? Forgot I even pre-ordered it and it arrived bright and early yesterday. Pretty good I must say, not the best by all means, but certainly a good larf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted July 2, 2010 Share Posted July 2, 2010 Tested it for a few months, and really didn't enjoy it that much. I'm not sure it'll sell too well or be around very long - I give it 8 months before server mergers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lazlo Posted July 11, 2010 Share Posted July 11, 2010 Shame like. Could've been really good, it plays like a cross between gta and battlefield heroes. Presentation/interface really good, but it gets boring and repetetive quickly Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lazlo Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Sigh. http://www.vg247.com/2010/08/13/rumour-realtime-worlds-warns-of-drastic-apb-cuts-lays-off-entire-myworld-team/ It wasn't that bad but looks like it's days are numbered. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Lazlo Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 bloody hell, i applied for the keys like a week ago or summat. Aye, you should still get it though, it's a larf.

Guest elbee909 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 It's the people who've lost their jobs I feel sorry for, the company going down I'm nonplussed about but having been in that position, hope the good 'uns find new jobs quickly.
