The PS4 version is definitely APB - framerate is god awful, crashes at complete random.
The worst thing though is the controller scheme, which combined with the tutorials leaves me asking where half of the fucking buttons are. Jesus christ.

hey, the last time I tried the Xbox One version, it was literally unplayable. you'd spawn and every model in the world would glitch in and out of existence. I spent 10 minutes running around and getting knocked over by invisible stuff underneath the map before I uninstalled it

Wow, it's like the Xbox One port!
Do they ever learn?
Yes, the PS4 port is god awful. I didn't even walk out on the street before getting rid of it.
I managed to complete two missions and make some vague attempt to modify my car before I just gave up. The fact that both of those missions were spent with the game telling me "USE YOUR MODIFICATION" but not actually telling me how didn't help.
Okay since they're finally done with the console ports does it mean that we're going to start hearing about the engine upgrade soon?
I mean, you will surely have alot of nostalgia (both positive and negative) but TBH if I were you I wouldn't keep my hopes up.
I occasionally reinstall the game just to fiddle around with the customization and run around spamming emotes. I have no idea why, but I somehow always have some free premium lying around lol.
Nostalgia is what had me reading the last 10+ pages of this thread, in hopes that the game is somewhat better now.
Been looking at Playerunknown's Battlegrounds, it seems to tickle my fancy but it's on EA, so... not for now.
What other game could scratch the itch that APB left in me, with a "cops vs robbers" theme -- that isn't RB6: Siege?

Or PD2.

Well the only game that scratched my APB itch was the Battlegrounds for sometime but the problem is that a BR game doesn't feel the same so the best thing to do is to forget about this game (or the concept that revolves around it) until some sorta private server shows up (which seems to be a pipe dream) or someother company buys the game and makes it somewhat decent.
We got a new [url=http://apbreloaded.gamersfirst.com/2017/05/survivalofthefittest.html]blog post[/url].
Highlights:
- New battle royale gamemode event
- Engine update being finalized for PC
- Contagion event (Gun Game) gamemode turned into a permanent addition
Battle royale could be kinda interesting in this if they pull it off well. Also, from reading about that contagion mode, that doesn't really sound like gun game at all.
It was similar but more boring.
I still wish they would one day add some kind of PvE mode to this game, that'd pretty much make this game for me. Just give me something really simple, I'd be fine with just a simple horde mode where you're shooting a bunch of AI controlled criminals or whatever. But that obviously would take actual effort and would probably be far beyond the scope of their current dev team.

This engine update is either gonna make or break the game.
[sp] I know that it's already broken but it's quite likely that they'll fuck it up even more [/sp]
Woah, I guess this game is really done for huh?

It sure is.
There's a rumor going around that the Reloaded Productions have only 3 employees (including tiggs) left.
I still occasionally play it.

he does afaik
So I guess it's time to finally get this thread going again?
I honestly hope this brings about some change. I personally believe that a lot of the negative opinion APB's had was the result of G1 communicating poorly or not at all.
The part of the announcement that I like the most is the promise of transparency and constant updates. I really have high hopes for this situation.
Oh my do I hope so! If they can pull it off, I'll be extremely amazed. That'd make APB some weird perennial game, one that's come back from the brink of death twice in 8 years.
I also bought that MP 40 the last time I was in. Will be glad to actually get to use it. I love MP 40's, but despite the price going low enough that I could afford it, the game's performance was so bad that I only used it for 2 missions before my crew abandoned it. I saw buying the MP 40, my APB-lifetime-goal, as my final peace for the game. But if it comes back... I'll likely be back too.
In honour of our new LOrbit overlords, I've turned my character into a Matthew Scott lookalike! (Based on his Twitter avatar, at least).

Woah is this even reality? A new dev for APB? One that actually has some sort of intent to -update- the game? In 2018?
For those of you that still care about the game at least a tiny bit:
Kempington has hosted a Q&A session with Matt Scott yesterday. The full footage can be found here: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/265424620
If you cannot afford to listen to the session, a transcript is also available, written by the wonderful SKay and Kevkof over at the new GamersFirst forums: https://forums.gamersfirst.com/topic/208-transcript-for-the-apb-qa-session-one/
Call me naive but I actually am optimistic about APB's future for the first time since RTW went under.
Though with that being said, I genuinely hope that they'll find a better way to deal with the JMBs insteaad of restricting the legendary trade.

Well thats good.
I think once they release the first patch, this game will take off. With the implementing of BattlEye and the unbanning of the majority of the banned population, the population will hopefully be 2,000 or more. I'm just beyond happy that I get my falsely banned account back that GamersFirst took away from me for no explanation
Recently got back into this a little while before LO took over. Really positive outlook on future development. Hit up FPChonch ingame if you're on Jericho and want into the old enforcer clan. It's mostly dead but I've still got a few old free cars and uniforms and stuff.
BattlEye patch is Friday 4am Pacific / 11am UTC
