    Sort of an online PVP Crackdown, a "cops vs criminals" MMO. Technically it isn't exactly an MMO, there can be up to 10.000 people playing at the same time on a server, but "only" 100 in each district (or 250 in "social" districts, these are districts where combat is restricted I suppose). It is being developed by Realtime Worlds and published by EA Partners. Commiting felonies in a gang or chasing the bad guys and getting them into jail - sounds simple, but also lots of fun to me! Maybe Defrag can fill us in on some details

    I've been wanting for a game like this for ages. Finally!

    Me and my friends are gonna form our gang and call our get away vehicle the pussy wagon then go and run people down.

    Been waiting for this since it was announced as a 360 game way, way back. Just watching the videos I can tell it controls and plays a lot like crackdown.

    So want to play as the cops.

    I've generally liked the stuff I've seen from APB, hell, I've been excited about it since I first heard the rumblings after those guys branched out from Rockstar North around Vice City's launch.

    But most of the stuff I'm seeing at the moment isn't really doing anything for me to be honest. The things that being pimped is the customization tools, because thats whats gotten most of the hype so far, the actual gameplay side seems pretty generic from what I've seen thus far. Still excited to try it out tho, but I'm just getting the same kinda feeling that I have with Alan Wake; Its a cool looking game that's just been revealed a bit too early for its own good.

    For whatever it means, they've changed their FAQ since that article; still looks like it'll be free of monthly fees but still curious to see the final payment model. Would be awesome if it's just a normal game purchase with the occasional expansion/DLC, but who knows.

    How much will APB cost?The price and payment model have not been finalized yet but we can say it won’t be the traditional monthly subscription model.

    I'd sure like for it to be free-to-play, though; saves me the trouble of having to pick between APB and TOR.

    Bump - got accepted for beta testing, downloading the client this very moment. Anybody else?

    Err...I got my job application rejected for RealtimeWorlds, does that count?
