Realtime Worlds need APB partner for console version

M2G Writes:

Dave Jones has said Realtime Worlds need a publishing partner if a console version of APB is ever to materialise.

Speaking in a recent interview, Jones said the game will only come to consoles should a major partner express interest.

[DelbertGrady]

Cue Microsoft.

It's pretty obvious EA will handle publishing. They distribute the Windows version already.

Real question is will LIVE allow them to make a console version, at least on the Xbox 360 (as the game was originally planned for).

Sony have the best online

Em
MAG
Warhawk
Killzone
Dc universe
Agency

[Letros]

Wonder why you left out SW: Galaxies

[DJKGBYF]

Yeah thanks a lot. Now you made me remember I wasted 3 years with that game from 2003 to 2006.

[-MD-]

The best online what?

[CrippleH]

I rather not have Sony partner up with them. APB got freaking in game radio commercials. Any game that makes ad invade games should die.

[SOAD]

in-game advertising offsets development cost.

That doesn't even bother me to be honest I can't even remember hearing one. What's bothering me is after putting down 50 bucks for this game. Its flaws are seriously starting to show an they are glaring. Balancing is a huge issue, I can't tell you how many times my crew of four had to fight a crew of like 6-8. That were better equipped by a long shot. Unbalanced architecture allowing for some of the most ridiculous defense position ever. Especially when you have an objective out in the open with 90 places for the enemy to camp at before you get there. An clearing them out is a mess when you are highly out numbered. An can't clear the entire area before the respond people are on your back after spawning in prime position behind your sniper.

The optimization of the game is a nightmare right now. You've got people having issues all over the board from cpu issues to people having low frames that have 5970's.

[DJKGBYF]

You do realize that DC Universe and The Agency are going to be run by SOE. SOE has nothing to do with MAG, Warhawk, or Killzone. SOE is probably one of the worst companies you could have to run an online game.

[tdrules]

no Everquest
Two unreleased games.
lol fail

[r1sh12]

haha no..
Mag sucks, killzone has some serious graphics but the gameplay is a little clunky.
I like it, but I wish i could jump and shoot, and not have to toggle aim down sight.
games like call of duty red dead etc..
are the best online games.
Im sure its very similar on the ps3 as it is with the xbox.
eveyrone plays those games.

[nickjkl]

go play call of duty

i like killzone better because its more realistic it doesnt have people jumping out of windows auto aiming with guns and then thinking their leet as they commando the guy thats 7 feet in front of them while teleporting past the guys claymores

i know this i did it before and iw as like that shouldnt be possible

and you do know there's a setting to change the ADS right

[BlackIceJoe]

I hope APB comes to the PS3 & 360. Because I would like to give the game a try & do not use my PC for gaming that much. So a console version would be great.

[TheBuIIetSponge]

I'd definitely get it for the consoles, it will be a while before I get a good PC.

[i_am_interested]

whos going to want to publish this flop

[T9X69]

Who wanted to have you as a child? If your going to be a baby, go get your breast milk from your mommy in a different article. Stupid troll.

[i_am_interested]

im sorry i insulted your flop of a game

did your daddy direct this game?

[sharif699]

Lol wow did you really reply to someones opinion of a game with "Who wanted to have you as a child?"?

[Thepro318]

i could see SONY making a deal with Realtime Studios bringing this game to playstation . I hope SONY make it where no monthly fee with plus. WE just get a ton DLC outfits upgrades etc that way you generate revenue with out monthly fees.

[tdrules]

you would rather buy costumes than pay a monthly fee for consistent missions and raids added?
U MAD

[Forbidden_Darkness]

They should just move on and make another game or wait and see how games like DCUO and The Agency sell on the PS3.

[TrevorPhillips]

I really hope Realtime Worlds does bring this game to the consoles.

It look's hecktic

[r1sh12]

Its not as good as you think, it wont make it to consoles.
xbox live is a closed system, maybe to the PSN but even then the game isnt amazingly great.
I liked the multiplayer in GTA iv, red dead was ok.

[peeps]

Tbh i played the beta and although i respect some of the ideas they had they just didn't pull off a good game.

- bad lag online
- repetitive missions
- lack of balancing with missions i.e. 3 vs 1
- lack of vehicle balancing e.g. some chase missions you'd chase a high level guy with a much better car than you making it impossible for you to catch them
- I know its an RPG but the later weapons are much better than the ones at the start giving people a massive advantage
- worst driving controls i've ever seen in a game but not sure if thats just cus of using k&m
- hit boxes on players seemed off most of the time

[Enate]

Pretty much spot on, wish I would have had more time then what I had in kttc. Me and a friend ended up buying the game an we are in one of the top enforcer guilds that is usually #1 in almost everything. Even with that my squad is running into that way to unbalanced issue. People having at the very least all tier 2 upgrades with at least 1 tier 3. An then on top of that the sheer amount of back up a lower threat level player can call in gets insane sometimes. Most of the time we end up fighting an extremely unbalanced match one way or another.

Usual situation lower level person either one or two of them comes after us. Allegedly weak based on threat level but they are both rocking under takers tier 3 weapons and tier 2 upgrades. Then because of the threat level they are allowed to call in back up of at least 4 or more people. An that can range from straight up noobs to the highest equipped people in the server. An like you said the higher end stuff can shred someone not equipped to deal with it with ease.

[r1sh12]

I was on the beta for the PC,
Im still on the beta, its a decent game.
Not mind blowing though, they have corrected many bugs.
The game it self can get quite boring and if youve played games like GTA iv or red dead redemption, APB will not compare.
I agree with peeps, people will buy into this game but I cant see it becoming a big seller.
My computer is pretty powerful but to get the most from it, it requires ever more power.
Im gonna stick with my xbox and ps3.
