APB Trailer

[kit630]

It's going to be a great game. Not truely MMOish, but kindof. The city has NPC characters running around their daily business like GTA, and players are dynamically matched. Criminals commit some kind of crime, be it murder or stealing TVs or robbing an armored car or bank, and then the game takes equally skilled players and sends them an "All Points Bulletin" hence the name of the game, and pits them against you to stop your crime. Or visa versa if you play the law.

There will be up to 100+ players in any one city zone and the rest will be the npc city population. I don't know if you progress to higher zones or what but there are lots of zones.

The level of customization is unprecidented in a game, down to the fact that you can cut and comb individual subsections of hair, and put tatoos and scars anywhere, not just in preset slots. You can mix and combine all sorts of imagery for unique tatoos or clothes designs and there's talk of being able to sell your designs to other players. Car customization is just as extensive. There are all kinds of crazy interesting rumors about the game, but most of that I typed is from the articles or youtube vids.

Looking forward to this game very much, though not as much as MAG which might slake my thirst until the next Planetside game comes out

I'll try to be "Retroactive" ingame. Good luck!

Its ok, I have serious worries about the longevity of the game; once you have the best weapons and car, and customised it, there's not much to do as you will surely be bored with the repetitive missions, even if they are against other players.

Still, they have talked about territory control aspects being released later, but with only two districts (which there are dozens of instances for) it will probably get old fast.

So this game died and is soon coming back.

I must admit I've never seen a game go belly up, then be back in beta several months later.

[Sentrosi]

Yeah, got a closed beta invite to the reboot. But as I wasn't impressed by APB in the first place, I probably won't be playing the game again.

[Ghryphen]

You got an invite to sign up for the closed beta

[Hamma]

Yea that's nice of them to invite you to apply

imo if you bought the damn game the first time around you should just be in. haha
