WTH ? I just watched some APBs videos and the game looks amazing. I don't like PC games. I know it's coming for 360 but how about PS3 ?

I might buy a 360 if this game looks good

I think MS owns REALTIME WORLDS but I'm not sure.

It looks cool, but monthly fees for certain games isn't my thing.

Because 360 and PC are very close platforms, and plus, Microsoft either owns the company or has very good realations with the devs. They created Crackdown for 360.

Microsoft threw Real Time Worlds some dough early on to keep it on PC/360. Anyways, I'm amazed to see you excited about a game that's not a PS3 exclusive, TC. Good work. :)

I believe they were put-off by MS not attempting to negotiate a sequel very fast.

By the time MS asked for a Crackdown sequel, RTW was already working on APB. And Microsoft owns a part of the Crackdown me thinks.

I thought MS might own them because CRACKDOWN was published as a first party title.

Hey Hydrolex according to the official APB website it says the game is coming to next generation CONSOLES. So it probably will come to PS3.

This game fits the 360 in ways. Plus I think MS paid for the console exclusivity.

APB looks so tight. I hope the gameplay is good, the character creation is very cool also.

Maybe. I was just saying what the official website says. A Korean company is publishing it. But often times official websites are late in being updated.

I can't really say, but don't forget that Microsoft owns Windows, and most PC gaming occurs on MS Windows :D. And of course, MS also owns the Xbox 360, so it shouldn't be that hard to do a dual PC/360 game. The PS3, on the other hand, is owned by another company (Sony) so it would involve probably a more complicated port, something not every company's gonna be willing to do (or can afford to do, for that matter).

The reason APB is not on PS3 is because Microsoft has a good business relationship with Realtime Worlds. They helped fund there first console game Crackdown which has sold around 1.5 million worldwide, so of course APB is console exclusive to X360.

Well once again ON THE APB WEBSITE it says this game is for CONSOLES plural and is published by WEBZEN not MS. They should change it if that is no longer true.

Read the IGN or gamespot article. The guy presenting the demo said PC/360. Probably a mistake on the company's part.

The 360 has APB , the new City of Heroes game ( different name tho ) and Huxley . The PS3 only has the agency ( home isn't a game , it's a really fancy lobby system) . I guess the 360 wins the title "COnsole with most and best MMOs"

Don't forget Age of Conan for the 360.

Also, don't forget you'll have to pay a subscription on top of that Xbox Live :D

Jump in, and more power to you.

But yeah, APB looks so dope! It was pretty funny the more experience players were robbing banks and such, and then they showed the lower level players stealing a tv for starters, that was awesome. Also another PC/360 only game I'm looking forward to is Champions Online. Microsoft made shooters on consoles a hit, and I wouldn't be suprise if they make MMO's a hit aswell.

I hope APB is a Q2 09 release because my wallet is already going to be hurting this year from all the great games, and that will give me some time to rebuild.:D

would this require an additional monthly fee or will live cover the costs? im not up with how mmorpg's work on live if additional fee's are required this gets a massive hell no from me, the game should have at least some quality to it there other title crackdown was a very well made game and highly enjoyable for that matter

Because PC and the 360 are the easiest to develop for when it comes to HD consoles.

And I think they actually want there games to SELL.
