Developed by David Jones, creator on the Grand Theft Auto series, APB is a massively multiplayer online game based in living, breathing cities replicated from famous locales all over the world. Set in a persistent living, breathing open-world urban environment where fame and fortune awaits all players. Some players will achieve this by feeding on the city, its people and its businesses…the Criminals. Some will live by a higher code and instead feed on the criminals and their organizations ... the Enforcers. This dynamic where players become the core content for other players is one of the many unique features of APB. Its deep, rich customization system provides players with the ability to completely personalize their identity.
NOTE: APB was originally considered as a multiplatform release, with console versions either based on the PC MMO or else re-designed as their own exclusive games in the same universe. However, but it was put on hold to focus on a single release for the PC platform.
It's been a while since we've heard anything about APB, but this year it's returned for E3. APB is the next game from Realtime Worlds, developers of Crackdown. It's an MMO that places you in the shoes of either a Criminal or Enforcer (aka evil maniac or good guy), and pits players of opposite factions against one another.
Sounds ok so far, but the real interest comes in its extensive character modification system. Read on for the deets. Read More »
