ugh.. I dont know but MMO's are usually more fun on PC.

....but it sucks for the console gamers who were hoping for this.

I can't wait for this game. I hope its gameplay is as awesome as the concept of the game.

Christopher6028d ago

Kind of old news, though. This has been known from more than a year now. I think some people just don't want to accept the truth sometimes.

free2game3656027d ago

It's not as much an MMO as it is a large scale multiplayer shooter. It's only 100 people and it has no subscription fees.

APB has gone the same way as Alan Wake, only reversed.

Excellent :)

NegativeCreepWA6028d ago

You do know what the word "initially" means right. There's still a chance for console versions.

Raf1k16028d ago

and there's still a chance for Alan Wake on PC but much smaller.

chak_6028d ago

I've been accepted in the beta.

just started the 9go yesterday, and it's not finished yet, might be more :D

Did they even announce a 360 version? I always thought it was PC exclusive and a 360 port was a pipe dream.

N4Gmodsaredouches6028d ago

According to the apb.com website faq:

Will there be console ports? Or a Linux or Mac client?

We’re evaluating opportunities for a console port of APB but there’s nothing concrete to announce at the moment. There will not be a Linux or Mac version of the game.

DeadlyFire6028d ago

I believe PS3 and X360 versions are being looked at, but with so far Sony and Microsoft haven't come up with a solid MMO system for their consoles. As all MMOs proposed to be coming to them are now to release in 2010.

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.

Gamer6664574d 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_One4574d 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.

pixelsword4574d ago (Edited 4574d 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).

Kleptic4574d ago (Edited 4574d 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...

JasonKCK4573d ago

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

GuyThatPlaysGames4574d ago

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

joe904574d ago (Edited 4574d 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.

TheEnigma3134574d 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.

isarai4574d 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

Ghostdogg4573d ago

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

iamnsuperman4574d ago (Edited 4574d 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

SuperBlur4574d ago

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

raistra4574d ago

Such a great studio lost to that game :(

KonsoruMasuta4574d 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.
