GamersFirst today launched the APB Reloaded open beta. In addition to the long list of closed beta improvements already launched during the redevelopment of the game, the APB Reloaded open beta adds a brand new skill rating system, redesigned “witnessing” game mechanics, new items and weapons in the Armas Marketplace, as well as an additional East Coast datacenter to host the game.
APB is a massively multiplayer online freeform combat and driving-based game, designed by the creator of the original GTA franchise, takes the universal theme of Criminals and Enforcement and brings it to a persistent, open world setting in a modern, crime-ridden city.
Publisher Little Orbit just announced the acquisition of GamersFirst and a number of games with it, including APB Reloaded, which will be updated according to an aggressive development plan and moved to Unreal Engine 4.
APB Reloaded is horrible on console. It was super buggy, glitchy and broken. Hopefully they fixed all the issues.
Jason Stettner of Gamerheadquarters writes; "My time with the Xbox One X prior to launch was all about games, I played so many but the ones that I definitely had on my mind were the games that ran the absolute worst on standard hardware. "
This has been a very welcome bonus so far. Not just the more stable framerates, but the huge boost to load times and responsiveness in game menus etc.
I agree, it's help the majority of games but I tried Dead Rising 3 on X1X and it ran the the same and also had some graphical bugs that aren't there on the X1S. I would love for them to release an Xbox One X enhanced patch for this game. It's one of my favorites.
I was wondering if X would finally make that game playable haha. I guess not.
I tried DR3 also on my X. It ran at a locked 30fps with no dips. It was super smooth and load times are greatly reduced. Honestly it was perfect
Agreed my friend has the box and said it's not that much of a noticeable difference...not sure what everyones so excited about. He also said some games are glitchy but the menu response is improved.
Yes I could have, but I'd also have that crap controller and be on a different system than all of my friends.
I only play games on PS4 that I can't play on Xbox.
I have a base PS4, and those issues still existed. In fact in some cases like Destiny 2 slowdowns and menu's even worse.
this is another release first fix later mentality at its finest. not only games are getting this treatment, but now consoles too?? that's one hell of an expensive "fix"! $500!
I think the group who called PS4 Pro a pointless console failed to realize that it has done this for a while now. It was to be expected for the X.
I thought it had some weird "boost mode" thing that didn't necessarily work on all games.
I know it did not originally do this at launch, it was an added feature later on, right?
This is nothing new, why are ppl so surprised by this? PS4 Pro has been doing this for a while with Boost Mode. Games like AC Unity and Just Cause 3 run much better on Pro even without a patch. These are the perks of these mid gen upgrades. Even unpatched games can have better framerates, faster loads, more stable resolution ect. Been enjoying this feature for a while now.
Didn't mention PS4 and didn't say anything about being surprised, so maybe you replied to the wrong person.
Nice a product that will force xbox owners to upgrade, base xbox sucks so much that you wanna upgrade.
Gotta fire this up. Tutorial was brutal. This is one of those games that shine with friends over voice coms.
Gotta try this, at least just to use the character creator.
More people sud get this now its free, the original apb was awesome wen playin with friends needs a bigger user base tho
Been waiting for this for a while downloading now.
