General: Dev Journal - APB Update

StraddenStradden Managing EditorMember CommonPosts: 6,696

Chris Dye, the Community Manager for Realtime Worlds' upcoming MMORPG APB pens this developer journal that brings us up to speed on APB's development, their absence from this year's E3 and beta sign-ups.

It’s been a busy few weeks here at Realtime Worlds, so we felt it was time for an update to pull all the various news snippets together, along with some initial news regarding the highly anticipated beta phase of APB.

We start with the news that at the 2008 Develop awards Realtime Worlds won the Industry excellence award for business development, this was a big achievement for the company and we feel it supports the work we have, and continue to put into all aspects of the development of our projects like APB.

Over the past few weeks our Studio manager Colin Macdonald has been chatting with videogaming247 regarding various aspects of APB, from its origins tracing back all the way to DMA Design, to the news that the launch of APB is “closer than many thought”, these articles can be read at the below links and hold some interesting insights into Realtime Worlds and the progress of APB.

Check it out here.

Cheers,
Jon Wood

    Just what we don't need, another game that glorifies criminals.   Hope this one flops big time.

    Yeah, I'm really looking forward to this game.  The cops and criminal sides seems to be a really neat adventure...no levels, just skill.

    Also, the facebook link isn't working for some reason.  Is anyone else having this problem?

    Yep, and we just help to foster and nurture the concept by promoting and developing products that focus on the negatives of society. Its not censorship, its social responsibility.

    Well I think your battle starts with your politicians good sir.. Stop your "leader" from advocating violence in senseless nature and thus, you could begin your quest for self preservation and pacifism..

    lawl.. big lawl..

    Edit: Oh and yes.. I am talking about Lord Bush.. err.. I mean "President" Bush..

    Humans are violent by nature, as are most creatures on this earth. Our civilization has developed to the point where violence is not necessary for us to function, whereas it used to be. Some violence is still necessary, but only by a limited amount of the population. Thus, our violent desires go mostly unfulfilled. That's why so much of our media is violent, because there is no other outlet us civilized people. Perhaps one day we will be able to curb the desire, and not just the actions, but I doubt it.

    More on topic, I really don't have a lot of hope for this game at this point. The idea of a cops and robbers game sounds good, but there are so many ways it can go wrong. We'll have to see how it plays out.
