Wow, their customization is just amazing. I really hope the gameplay ends up just as amazing.

Move over CoH, STO, and CO. It looks like a new king of customization has decided the next gen of customizing is here.

I'm just hoping for a variety of suits and pieces from suits, a la Reservoir Dogs.

I'm having trouble getting excited about this. It's a sandbox game, but only 100 players per instance or "district map". I get to customize my e-thug and... go shoot people?

Personally, I don't care about customizing my character to look like a skate shop threw up all over him.

I've yet to see anything that would "really shake things up in the gaming industry" on their website, in their videos, or podcasts. This level of customization will hardly shake anything. 100 players per instance will hardly shake anything. It's all been done before.

You're judging them entirely on an absence of information. Don't jump the gun on your disappointment; let them actually show you the game before you do that. Give them some time to, you know, actually show you the game.

This video is a complete waste of time. Sure I care about customization and I am greatly looking forward to this game, but this is just ridiculous. If they actually showed more about the game rather than just some BSing about fashion, I might be a little happier.

But honestly, what's the difference between this and some other random group of people talking about fashion?

"Next week we'll talk about vehicle customization." - Go to a random VW dealership, talk about which cars are sporty, then give them a free advertisement. All in all they'll only give us about 45 seconds of gameplay footage. The rest of the time we'll just see some random dudes talking about cars.

As always, I have no idea how to wrap up my little rant. So I'll just end in a dance. Watch me closely now!

Exactly, thank you. We've yet to actually see the game but people are speaking in hyperbole about shaking the industry. I'm seeing a lot of marketing for APB, but I've yet to see anything substantial. Can anyone link me to anything that would justify the hype? Heck, I'll even accept fanboy hyping features and game mechanics - anything!

Back at like episode 2 or so they had shown a substantial amount of customization options. That was enough to get me hooked to the game. Great, I love customization. But that's all they've talked about for like the past 6 episodes. I think it's time to move to something new. As awesome as the customization is, give me something new to think about!

We get it. Customization seems to be very deep. More than five videos about the same thing is a little overdone.

Now show us the actual game, please. I think that will be something not so very exciting.

You guys really threw your patience off a bridge! This game is set to launch in March 2010 and you call for gameplay so desperately? Get a grip! There's PLENTY of time for gameplay podcasts. Stop being so fussy about everything -.-
