XBox World 360: APB Preview

XBox World 360 writes: "Is there anything better than a good old-fashioned grudge match? There's a good reason why Three Leafed Clover is at the top of almost everyone's GTA IV 'favourite mission' list. Pitting one team of 'goodies' against another team of 'baddies' is a timeless formula...

Multiplayer-only games rarely succeed on console. Shadowrun and Unreal Tournament III died the instant they arrived while Quake Wars barely even did that. Weighing up all this information should make for some grim reading for Realtime Worlds."

Edit: Found some info @ teamxbox forums

" Developed by David Jones, creator on the Grand Theft Auto series and crackdown, this APB is a massively multiplayer online game based in living, breathing cities replicated from famous locales all over the world. APB is a turf war involving two main factions -- the Squads, whose goal is to uphold the law, and the Gangs, who seek to break the law at all costs. Players will be able to choose their side -- the Gangs are all about graffiti, attitude, custom cars and earning cash any way they can.; the Squads stand for honor, teamwork, firepower and destroying the Gangs. APB provides the player with the complete customization options from their weapons, vehicles and clothes to their attitude, music and environment. "

Are envy, but we will defend as always

mcgrawgamer6357d ago

If by defend you mean troll and bash this game, then I agree 100%.

Now N4PS3G. how could you not be up on this game? I've been waiting for this game since I played crackdown. I hope this game comes out for PC as well so we can play some pc players as well, that should make for a hugely robust community :)

baum6357d ago

When you guys do the exact same thing for PS3, especially after commenting after "N4PS3G" whose only purpose on this site is to bash PS3. lol, fanboys...

Bloodwar6356d ago

then I recalled that their game is called, The Agency. Does anyone know what is the story with The Agency? Is it still coming out?

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.

Gamer6664603d 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_One4603d 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.

pixelsword4602d ago (Edited 4602d 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).

Kleptic4602d ago (Edited 4602d 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...

JasonKCK4601d ago

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

GuyThatPlaysGames4603d ago

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

joe904603d ago (Edited 4603d 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.

TheEnigma3134603d 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.

isarai4603d 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

Ghostdogg4601d ago

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

iamnsuperman4603d ago (Edited 4603d 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

SuperBlur4603d ago

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

raistra4603d ago

Such a great studio lost to that game :(

KonsoruMasuta4603d 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.
