APB: All Points Bulletin

[Jura]

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51-hEz%2BEKBL._SS400_.jpg

Wish Grand Theft Auto was a massively-multiplayer game? APB might be the next best thing; after all, it comes from original GTA creator David Jones and features Enforcers (the good guys) and Criminals (the not-so-good guys) vying for control of a virtual city. Lock and load this March.

Seems pretty neat sauce. I don't know why the narrator sounds like Matthew McConaghey though.

I got into the beta but my GFX card wasn't good enough in the end. Sooooooo pissed off.

[Xero]

Heard about this maybe 3 years ago and assumed it was canceled. Interesting.

Been waiting for this since it was originally announced for the Atari 2600. Games with this kind of development time tend to be letdowns, but you never know.

Have been aware of this game for a while, and was starting to get excited, until I saw a gameplay video in which the vehicles drive like ASS. It's not even that they drive like they're on ice.. they just DON'T handle.

Considering much of what goes on in the game takes place in vehicles, and they're touting their vehicle customization stuff so big... well, that's a big gamebreaker if vehicles aren't fun to drive.

[Kalyx triaD]

How on earth can you possibly tell how the cars handle by sight?

[Requiem]

lol I'm just going to let you sit here and think about that for a second.

[Jon Kano]

Saw the trailer for this the other day, looks good to me!

I thought the voice over was Ray Liotta, might go see if I'm right..

ROFL.

[#BROKEN Hasney]

I've got a beta key to give away if anyone wants it (Europe only, I'm afraid).

[Kane Knight]

Sucks this is no longer for the 360. :(. I know that's hardly news, but since the thread was bumped....

[Kalyx triaD]

I think there's a better chance than another game I won't mention here because I'm still pissed and sad about it CHAMPIONS ONLINE.

[Kane Knight]

I think there's a better chance than another game I won't mention here because I'm still pissed and sad about it CHAMPIONS ONLINE.

I think the announcement that it won't be coming to the 360 is probably sufficient to say that it's pretty much splitting hairs as to which unlikely prospect is more likely.

[Kalyx triaD]

They say many things.

[Kane Knight]

Come on, Kal, don't be stupid.

Champions is pretty boring, anyway. I wouldn't worry that much. Though chargen is cool.

[Kalyx triaD]

True Fantasy Online, baby.

[Kane Knight]

Aside from that being a game, I don't really know what you're getting at. are you still arguing contrary to your established argument from the other thread?

[Kalyx triaD]

I'm doing nothing at all.

[Kalyx triaD]

Cellphone subscription model. Like... the 7/11 cellphones. Social zones and character creation is free, the actual 'game' (PvP) is premium. I like it.

[Mooияakeя™]

I ain't playing anything that I have to pay monthly for. Simple as that. Unless it's free to download and like £5 per month so over a year you get the price of the game etc. plus an extra tenner for the devs.

[Requiem]

Got a 'key to the city' invite to this game just cause I had signed up for the beta like a year ago. Dunno if I feel like downloading it.

8800 GTX is a dinosaur now. I had one of those for a good 2 years and it couldn't keep up with the new tech that's coming out with PC games.

I got a Radeon HD 5870 now. Works wonders.

I have 5 available invites for anyone to make a trial account for this game to try it out for free. You get 7 hours of action district time but unlimited social district time until the trial period expires. Action district is where you do all the stuff but social district is where you customize your character, cars, buy/sell weapons, themes, upgrades etc.

If you are good with designing midi type themes or designing artwork you can sell them on the auction house for "RTW points" which you can redeem 400 points for 30 days of game time. 280 points = 20 hours of game time. You can also sell almost everything you acquire in the game for in-game cash or rtw points so technically you won't have to pay to play if you do it right.

So if anyone is interested in trying it out send me a PM with ur email.

[Kalyx triaD]

Would love to but I have no PC up to par.

[Exyle]

I also have 5 invites if Jura's are all used. Same with him, PM me your e-mail and I'll make it happen.

And if anyone that has the game wants to connect/group, I'm on La Rocha criminal side, character name Dredge.

[Jura]

I have a character on each faction on each server. I prefer to play as Enforcer on Zombie but using my Crim just to steal cars and make quick easy money to send to my Enforcer. On Larocha my criminal's name is TheRedHood lol.
