5 Reasons APB Will Shock The World

TheKoalition.com: It has come to my attention that not enough people are aware of upcoming game APB(by Real Time Worlds) and what a revolution this game could be. So with the power of my journalism it is time to spread the word on something I feel will be a big shock to the system once it has been fully revealed (Most likely at E3). Here are 5 reasons APB will shock the world this year.

Why would I care if this game is a 360 exclusive, when there is MAG, and The Agency for PS3

GiantEnemyCrab5607d ago

Why would you post if you don't care?

Just so you can tell everyone in a 360 only article that you have a hard on for 2 exclusive Sony games?

GTFO

icup25607d ago (Edited 5607d ago )

Because we like to rubbe our AAA games in xbots face. :)

and this game will flop like all the 360 game in 09, nothing but flop. hehehehehe

N4PS3G5607d ago (Edited 5607d ago )

so if you don't care ..why are you here?

btw APB is a sandbox game like GTA and can't be compared to those games

in my opinion this looks way better

http://www.notesongamedev.n...

judging by that screenshot .. if thats an AAA game ..please don't tell me the rest of the list

MGOelite5607d ago

im pretty sure apb was announced as multiplatform

deadreckoning6665606d ago

Personally, dude im a PS3 only owner, but I have to admit that this sounds more intriguing than M.A.G. Imagine 20 people with rocket launchers blowing sht up at the same time with no lag. It's basically, GTA4's Online Free Mode 24/7. I thk people wulda given M.A.G more attention if it was third person and not so many people. 256 players is awesome, but I wulda liked it more if they kept the number at 128 for the sake of the graphics.

This article should be in the PC section because I don't think we will be seeing a 360 version of APB for awhile. 360 version was put on hold to focus on the PC so your #1 reason is thin. You think it's a good thing it's done with the Unreal Engine?

I'd love to be wrong about this. RTW can make an open world game and I can't wait to see what they've done with APB.

Tony P5607d ago

Hahaha. That it's done with UE3 is probably the least shocking fact in all of gaming today. Silly point.

Anyway, I enjoyed Crackdown, so this might be something awesome. I wonder if this will use GFWL? RTW can make some damn fun achievements.

cherrypie5607d ago

Care to tell us why "we wont be seeing an Xbox 360 version for a while"?

We'll see what is coming soon in about 3 weeks.

(oh, BTW, Huxley says hello too)

Panthers5606d ago

He did tell you why.... and what does Huxley have to do with anything? He commented that it will not be on 360 because it was put on hold to focus on the PC, or did you not read that part?

icup25607d ago

11 more days and infamous will be release ps3 owners get another AAA game.

I wonder what the xbots be playing that day?

TheMART5607d ago

It got an 8.2 or so from OPM Netherlands. I don't care for USA inflated scores.

Lets see what a real reviewer like EDGE says about that game. Prototype is probably a better and more original game.

MGOelite5607d ago

how is it more original lol its from the people who made HULK lol

iDystopia5607d ago

lol it's from the people who made Crackdown.

MGOelite5607d ago

ty for that fail btw, i was on about prototype

deadreckoning6665607d ago

U trust Edge, a magazine that scored Blood in the Sand higher than Killzone 2?...Oh yeah, ur an xbot, I understand now,lol.

JeffGUNZ5606d ago

Halo 3, Halo Wars, Gears 2, Left 4 dead....Don't worry about 360 users, they have plenty to play.

All Time Greatness5607d ago

I look forward to seeing APB, hopefully Huxley and Age of Conan also. Some Champions Online to top it off.

No Way5607d ago

Yes, yes, yes! A little bit of something on all of those would be nice! :D

free2game3655607d ago

If you're talking about the 360 versions, Huxley and Age Of Conan are canceled on that platform

cherrypie5607d ago

"Huxley and Age Of Conan are canceled on that platform"

You people _just-dont-get-it_. They dont pour millions into game development and then just dump them FFS.

The quiet around Xbox 360 games is being done on purpose. E3 will provide most of the rest of the 2009 release schedule.

free2game3655606d ago

Do you not realize how amazingly expensive the development of MMOs are? They just don't work very well on consoles.

Panthers5606d ago

Not to mention a large number of games get dumped all the time. Probably more than are actually released. It is the way of the business.

All Time Greatness5606d ago

APB, Age of Conan http://multiplayerblog.mtv.... and Champions online are definately still coming.

As for Huxley: "Originally announced by Webzen during the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo, the game was initially slated to launch for the Xbox 360 and PC in 2006. After a slow trickle of information and a string of delays, NHN acquired the rights to distribute the PC edition of the game in North America and Europe in 2008, as well as first-look rights for the Xbox 360 version. "

"NHN provided no updated release window for the either the PC or Xbox 360 edition of the game, and had not responded to requests for comment as of press time."

The developer just bought the rights to both the Xbox 360 and PC versions of Huxley.

Sound like they are all still coming to me.

The Five Most Disappointing Video Games Of All Time

For every game that truly lives up to its potential, there are a couple that absolutely miss their mark. Be it a simple case of over hyping an unfinished product, to game systems that downright are broken, or even just a game being inexcusably horrible, some games just leave a terrible taste in people’s mouths.

UnHoly_One3989d ago

I still loved Too Human for all of it's flaws.

If only Denis Dyack knew how to keep his mouth shut, the game's reception might have been very different.

Gamer6663989d ago

Agreed, Too Human was flawed, but the story was strong and the RPG elements were strong.

The control scheme was the only real lackluster part of the game... Unfortunately, you are reminded at how flawed the control scheme was in every single level and every single battle in the game...

UnHoly_One3989d ago

I have to disagree about the controls. They were different, but it worked, and made for a unique experience.

I never had a problem with the controls at all.

pixelsword3988d ago (Edited 3988d ago )

Why is it that people always want to put Lair down in a list like that, but when you see comments about it, most people who played the game enjoyed the game? The game wasn't broken, the game wasn't incomplete, the controls just had a steep learning curve, and most of that was basically keeping your controller straight after turning, and 180 turns, both were fixed after the patch.

People hated on this game merely because it was 1080p and (mostly) 60fps, and it came out early in the PS3's life-cycle; certain fanboys masquerading as journalists knew if this game bombed, people wouldn't invest in other games that were that ambitious and that's exactly what happened because after that games were cancelled (8-days) or delayed to the PS4 (last guardian).

Kleptic3988d ago (Edited 3988d ago )

^seriously dude?

I was as excited for Lair as anyone...and omg did it suck...

a story that...i'm not even going into it...the dialogue? ('why don't you try spitting some fireballs at them??' over and over and over)...

sorry man...that game was complete trash...there were plenty of early PS3 games that i feel got very unfair treatment within the media...but a conspiracy against Lair is something i could never agree with...it was just a shitty game...plain and simple...to each their own, though...

hell, i thought Haze was better than Lair...and haze was damn near unplayable...

JasonKCK3988d ago

Too Human is pretty good for an unfinished game. It also has one hell of a dedicated fanbase.

GuyThatPlaysGames3989d ago

Definitely Too Human. Also, I would add Haze and Duke Nukem.

joe903989d ago (Edited 3989d ago )

Too Human was OK i don't get everyones hate of it. I enjoyed the leveling of the armour and weapons.

APB is still played by the thousands and makes a very steady income from it.

Why no Damnation,Haze,Duke Nukem Forever or Rogue Warrior? They're the worst/over-hyped games i have ever played.

I know this is an opinion piece so it is what it is.

TheEnigma3133989d ago

I think rogue warrior needs to be on here. And why Isn't E.T. on here since we're talking about all time terrible games. That game single handily crashed the video game world.

isarai3989d ago

maybe because it's not "all time terrible games" it's "Most Disappointing Video Games Of All Time" even in commercials and the promise of ET was trash, no one was expecting greatness from that game. but yes Rogue Warrior was horrid compared to what it was meant to be, wasn't even close to it's target

Ghostdogg3987d ago

Rouge warrior was pure garbage and lol@ E.T.

iamnsuperman3989d ago (Edited 3989d ago )

For me Haze. I was interested to play it. That was until I played the demo. Picked it up in a bargain bin later on after its launch and I am glad I did........pick it out of a bargain bin and not pay full price

SuperBlur3989d ago

APB , that game went from having a 100mill dollar budget to bankruptcy so fast , it should be a record on its own

raistra3989d ago

Such a great studio lost to that game :(

KonsoruMasuta3989d ago

No Dude Nukem: Forever? That games had so much hype surrounding it and it turned out to be a steaming pile.

What APB got right, and why it initially failed

PC Gamer - The action-MMO first known as APB lives on as APB Reloaded. But if your memory serves, you’ll recall that the urban, massively-multiplayer shooter had a quick death: APB shut down just months after launching at the end of June 2010, coinciding with the dissolution of developer Realtime Worlds.
