APB Developers Open To PlayStation 3 Version

There has been much speculation about All Points Bulletin recently, specifically revolving around the Xbox 360 version of the game. However, we managed to get an answer from Realtime Worlds regarding the state of the Xbox 360 version.

The current situation with the Xbox 360 wasn't the only piece of information extracted though, as it appears that Realtime Worlds have completely free licence to release APB on any system they choose.

this game is no where close to Killzone 2 so it is DAMN possible to be done on the PS3

Sarcasm6057d ago

At the very least they could do a 360 version. A PS3 version might end up being a charity case.

I don't like that. By "that" I mean tacking on a port in the middle of development. Usually doesn't end up so well.

I'd rather a developer be up front and say, "We're making our game on 360/PS3/PC" so we know it's part of their project from the beginning.

Bnet3436057d ago

This game is published by Microsoft?

Defectiv3_Detectiv36057d ago

They've been in talks bringing this to the PS3 for some time now, just about as long as we've known it wasn't coming to the 360. To be honest, I think the reason its not on the 360 is because it seems like they aren't very serious about bringing MMO's to their console. I know they have that FF mmo, but its not a pay to play structure like APB, not to mention, they already charge for XBL, so there is a lot of red tape there.

"I know they have that FF mmo, but its not a pay to play structure like APB,"

yes it is

ffxi is a true mmo, down to the subscription details and all. As far I can recall I remember a few people saying that ffxi requires only a silver membership. I don't have a 360 but I believe that the silver membership is free?

"Everything is open to us, we aren't tied in to Microsoft, Sony or anyone. Once the PC version is out there and hopefully it's a big success, we'll see what offers are around."

man this is the face of game development now I blame it on m$ honestly.

also a tip for the devs at least pretend like u care more about us having fun playing your game than money...

edit even better go multiplat with it you'll prob make more than youd get off the bribe... (I'm sure you'd also get some solid internal support from both of em if you'd contact em to say you wanted to bring em your game) ~if it turns out to b good anyways...

People sure do looooooove the Ps3!

N4PS3G6057d ago

lol if you think a dev makes games for a system just for love .....it's called m o n e y

-MD-6057d ago

So before it was "Lol no hope of ever seeing this on 360" but NOW it's "OMGOSH seriously PS3?"

I love when people flip their opinion 180 when it favors them in some way.

Saaking6057d ago

like you always do right murderdolls

FlipMode6057d ago (Edited 6057d ago )

The same way 360 owners say the ps3 was a movie player but then they jizz over netflix.

edit below: I said 360 owners not just you.

-MD-6057d ago

I've never used netflix in my life.

Interesting, to say the least.

ExgamerLegends26057d ago

I've never heard of this game. Don't own a 360 and I'm not a pc gamer so i wont even look it up unless they do make a ps3 version.

lordcrackpot6057d ago

i haven't really payed much attention to ABP, but i did some research and it looks original and interesting. any game of that sort is welcome to the ps3.

but i'm probably getting this on pc.

Raoh6057d ago

Kind of old news.. both apb and champions online developers said they would be open to ps3 versions once they finished their pc versions an how far along they got with the 360 version.

mephman6057d ago

That's partially true. Realtime Worlds previously just said the game could run on the PS3, they never said they would actually consider doing it.

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.

Gamer6664538d 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_One4538d 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.

pixelsword4537d ago (Edited 4537d 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).

Kleptic4537d ago (Edited 4537d 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...

JasonKCK4536d ago

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

GuyThatPlaysGames4538d ago

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

joe904538d ago (Edited 4538d 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.

TheEnigma3134538d 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.

isarai4538d 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

Ghostdogg4536d ago

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

iamnsuperman4538d ago (Edited 4538d 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

SuperBlur4538d ago

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

raistra4538d ago

Such a great studio lost to that game :(

KonsoruMasuta4538d 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.
