Coming in 2008, All Points Bulletin (APB) is an original MMOG for PC and 360 being developed in partnership with Webzen of Korea. APB is a city based community game where players choose between playing the criminals or those out to catch the criminals; carry out or thwart opposed crimes and build up areas of the city you control, all with unprecedented levels of character and vehicle customisation.
From DevilsMMO:
'It occurs to me that the MMO, as it currently stands in the industry, is something of a hit and miss affair. The average gamer, equipped with a console and every shooter ever made, generally only ever hears about the very biggest MMOs or, failing that, the MMOs that manage to crash and burn the hardest.
This was brought back home to me last week when I received a comment on one of my articles in which the commenter believed most MMOs are destined to fail, and fail quickly. Rather than take that statement at face value, I’ve been thinking through why that would be; what makes a game that has had thousands of hours of development hours plugged into it just fail?'
Scotland-based developers Realtime Worlds created the critically acclaimed Xbox 360 title, Crackdown. They seemed to have a bright future ahead. Unfortunately, that was not to be the case...
Splitkick: “What the hell happened?” That was my basic sentiment after playing about two hours of Brink on my PS3. I left PAX East 2011 proclaiming Brink my “game of the show” after playing a hands-on demo, and was hotly anticipating its retail release. So about nine weeks, and thirty bad reviews later, I was left wondering how something that seemed so promising in the recent past could now be such a sub-par product.
It's Xbox related so they just say LAME straight away. I'm sure if Killzone2.com was launched, you wouldn't put lame then would you?
Don't abuse the report button.
oh ya the original team that made GTA 3 and Crackdown making a freaking GTA style MMO YES PLEASE
sounds pretty cool to me...but how many people will actually be cops?
about time the 360 gets some good mmo's, hopefully they can pull it off, but who would want to be the cops
I'm kinda confused, who is making a publishing this game, realtimeworlds or webzen.
