Our friends over at Massively's sister site Joystiq have
weighed in with their impressions of
Realtime Worlds' forthcoming
All Points Bulletin MMORPG, recently demoed at last week's Game Developer's Conference in San Francisco. The article drops a few interesting nuggets, including the fact that
APB will not feature hand-to-hand combat on release day, as well as observations on the vehicle customization tools, enforcer versus criminal PvP, mission types, and other items shown at
GDC by studio founder (and
Grand Theft Auto creator) David Jones.
"I have to admit that the concept of a "GTA
MMO" was never one that seemed like it would "work." After seeing APB in action, though, with its multitude of customization options and spectacular shootouts, my feeling has definitely changed. It really could work," Joystiq concludes.
