APB publisher EA has released the crime MMO's opening cinematic, explaining how the city of San Paro came to play host to open warfare between punky cops and punks.

Operating somewhat differently to regular MMOs, APB comes with fifty hours of play time out of the box which is drained by being in action districts. An extra twenty hours will run you $6.99, or players can simply pony up $9.99 for thirty days of unlimited play.

Developed by Crackdown creator Realtime Worlds, APB is headed to PC on June 29.

$7 for 20 hours or $10 for 1 month... those sure do sound like subscriptions... What ever happened the to claim of "no required subscriptions?"

That seems like a pretty big flip on RTW part. Some might even call it a lie.

Going to give this game a few weeks and follow the boards. I've been waiting for a different type of MMO to come out. While this one surely isn't the best version that could be put out in a setting like this it might still be fun.

I'm in the beta. I don't know if it breaks the NDA to say this, but I won't include details out of respect for agreeing to some thing full of legal crap that I of course did not read in full.

This game is unbelievably terrible given the awesomeness of the concept and appearances of hype-related material. Do not pre-order or buy on day 1. You will be sorry.

I understand companies need to pay for upkeep on their servers to run MMORPGs, but this is getting blown way out of proportion. The only MMORPG I have and will play is Guild Wars 1 and soon to be 2. I have put up to 1,500 hours into Guild Wars, and it was not all consecutive game play. There would be 50 hours here and there when I really got into it. So that would sum out to $524.25 (if they didn't raise the price in the future). Like I said companies need to make money off these, but this is turning into China if you are going to make us pay for our time.
