GamesRadar - We really, really want to love APB (All Points Bulletin): Reloaded more than we do. Yes, the original APB was riddled with enough cracks and flaws to take it from diamond-in-the-rough to half-eaten-Ring-Pop-that's -shaped-like-a-diamond, but some of its more ambitious ideas were very nearly brilliant. And hey, Reloaded – for the most part – smartly tweaks APB's little problems while leaving its cops-and-robbers core undisturbed. On paper, it sounds like every wannabe grand automobile thief's dream come true. So then, what exactly went wrong?
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.
Nice a product that will force xbox owners to upgrade, base xbox sucks so much that you wanna upgrade.
