I guess Gamefork was right APB is going to be at E3.

Unicron5871d ago

Tomorrow, the sun will rise.

UnSelf5871d ago

Realtime worlds needs to hurry up wit this game so they can start working on Crackdown 2 already

xwabbit5871d ago

I dk Unicron, maybe... just MAYBE.

morganfell5870d ago (Edited 5870d ago )

Exactly Unicron. That isn't a huge leap for Gamefork and his fake twitter account to surmise something that a hundred other people have already postulated.

Tito Jackson5870d ago

I really liked Saints Row 1 & 2, so this will be a step in the right direction for me. I hope the character editor is as good, or better as the one in SR2.

Pandemic5870d ago

I hope the system requirements aren't too high..

Real Time Studios need to hurry up with the pc version so they can get to work on the 360 version.

cherrypie5871d ago

You've got to be joking.

MS has said they will not be talking about Games for Windows at E3 as it is "Console Centric".

What on _EARTH_ do you think APB will be doing there? Going alone, talking about the PC version and basically ruining their Xbox 360 launch?

Write this down: APB on Xbox 360 this year. Simultaneous (or very nearly) releases.

TheBand1t5871d ago

PC version first, then possible 360/PS3 release.

At least according to the devs. Also, no need to be rude, cherry.

free2game3655871d ago

Cherry, Crackdown isn't being published by Microsoft, they have absolutely no say in it being developed, released, or promoted. E3 isn't a console centric show. Micrsoft just stopped supporting PC gaming. There's a difference.

Disccordia5870d ago

Yep, it's PC first and then PS3/360 "would be considered sometime after"

Excellent, can't wait for more news at E3!

Ldubbz5871d ago (Edited 5871d ago )

This one hasnt really been on my radar, but I have been getting more and more interested. Just got my e3 badge in the mail.

C'mon June!!!

wrong place oops

deadreckoning6665871d ago

I really thought Sony was gunna win E3, but APB is gunna tip the scales for Microsoft. GODDAMIT!!!

Traveler5871d ago

Well, your comment was stupid and I'll tell you why. We don't know enough about APB to even know if it is going to be a good game, so how ignorant do you have to be to claim that it is going to tip the scales in Microsoft's favor?

I own both consoles as well and I don't care which consoles you own, your comment was a trollish fanboy comment. It was made purely to incite and the lack of maturity in your second comment proves that.

Everybody is going to have different opinions about which console maker had a better showing at E3 anyway, so it's kind of pointless.

Personally, I know that Sony and Microsoft will have some stuff that interests me at E3 and that's all I care about.

sak5005871d ago

@deadreckoning

LOL did he PM you his PSN ID yet? i doubt it, the hardcore fanboys here dont own any consoles since they spend most of their daylight times trolling n4g.

On TOpic: I guess MS is hiding quite a few tricks up its sleeves, i want another Tattoo show Peter Moore where are you? :D

shazui1235871d ago

Erm its not a 360 exclusive, theyre working on pc version first nd "probably" then a 360 and ps3 release. In any cse its on pc as well, that doesnt count as an exclusive

RememberThe3575870d ago (Edited 5870d ago )

Just becasue you own both consoles, that doesn't make you a real gamer.

APB hasn't shown anything that would tip the scales in any direction. I can understand how Ghost would assume you to be a fanboy because your claim of APB putting MS over the edge is baseless.

If you are exited for APB because of Crackdown, then thats fine, let your mind run wild. But to assume that this brand new IP is going to raise MS above Sony is like saying MAG is going to raise Sony over MS. It doesn't hold ground.

Sh*t, we know more about MAG then we do about APB, and we still don't have enough info to claim that it will push Sony to E3 dominance.

EDIT: Well, that was a waist. I basically said what Traveler said...

EDIT 2: @kaveti: You want this guys home address because he annoys you on a videogame website? I'm actually surprised your short fuse hasn't got your cap pealed already. It's people with this "I want to go kick this guys ass because he looked at me funny" mentality that end up with a shotty to the face. What makes you think that if you got to his house, he would straight mop you up? Your obvious threats are truly ridiculous and unwarranted. You have issues that you need to be worked out and they don't need to be worked out here. It sounds to me that your unbalanced ass is the one that need to go...

On that note, go do some Ti Chi, some breathing exercises or some sh*t. Goosfraba.

It's a PC game for now. They'll consider other platforms once they have the PC version released.

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.

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.

Gamer6664254d 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_One4254d 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.

pixelsword4253d ago (Edited 4253d 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).

Kleptic4253d ago (Edited 4253d 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...

JasonKCK4252d ago

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

GuyThatPlaysGames4254d ago

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

joe904254d ago (Edited 4254d 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.

TheEnigma3134254d 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.

isarai4254d 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

Ghostdogg4252d ago

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

iamnsuperman4254d ago (Edited 4254d 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

SuperBlur4254d ago

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

raistra4254d ago

Such a great studio lost to that game :(

KonsoruMasuta4254d 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.
