All Points Bulletin Announced
by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 15, 2005 12:22pm PSTOriginal Grand Theft Auto creator David Jones today announced All Points Bulletin, a massively multiplayer action game which will be developed by his Real Time Worlds company. Korean based Webzen will publish the game, which is scheduled to be released in 2007 and will be shown at the Electronic Entertainment Expo this May.
APB is a massively multiplayer online game based in living, breathing cities that will feel familiar to players, as they precisely replicate famous cities all over the world. APB is a turf war involving two main factions, the Squads, whose goal is to uphold the law, and the Gangs, who seek to break the law at all costs. Players will be able to choose their side, in a classic good guy versus bad guy scenario. The Gangs are all about graffiti, attitude, custom cars and earning cash any way they can. The Squads stand for honor, teamwork, firepower and destroying the Gangs. APB will provide the player with the ultimate customization options from their weapons, vehicles and clothes to their attitude, music and environment.

Their driving a Subaru WRX! Same model as mine by the looks, a good ol' 99/early 2000 model :-)
Altho mine has nicer rims :-P /rice
Woohoo, I know the cops here in NSW, Australia have used WRX's for high speed pursuits... It's always a bit of a buzz driving your real-life car in a game tho :)

I just hope to god that by 2007-8 we'll have server hardware that can handle realtime action and not just dice-rolled battles.

Please, please developers, keep your game secret until it's even near time for it to come out. I tell you now, early promotion only leads to:
1. Overhyping and then disappointment upon release
2. Other developers taking your idea and getting their game out sooner
3. Years of humiliation as the entire Internet community makes fun of you for not being able to deliver on your release date (aka 3DRealms)
Plus, what does telling everyone about it now gain you? Some fanboys drooling over a concept? Doesn't really sound like it's worth it if you ask me...
