| APB Becomes GTA MMO? GTA Online?: Crackdown Creators Bought Their MMO Back Just To Sell It To Rockstar? If this bears fruit, we could be looking at a new genre of MMO's (finally). Discuss

+19 Internets | http://www.fohguild.org/forums/mmorp...9-gta-mmo.html and there was another APB thread recently, can't believe this game has been mentioned 3 years ago. The article says Webzen was "scheduled to" produce the game, leads me to believe they haven't even started on it yet. I know there was a trailer posted... here all pre-renders with a release date of 2007. Unless Rockstar only bought the name and is planning to rebrand GTA IV MP as APB or as "the gta mmo", I don't see this game coming out until, earliest 09 if it's a rebrand, 10 earliest if it's from the ground up, maybe even 11 or at latest 12 if it's mismanaged.

| There are lot of job postings on their site, while its possible they might turn around and sell it to Rockstar i think it is unlikely that they will do this. I suspect that they will simply keep working on it and looking for a publisher. W/E happens id be interested in seeing how this develops as an MMO. edited to add: World Of EveCraft | Rock, Paper, Shotgun I think this would be a brilliant use of the "leveling" discussed in that essay.

+14 Internets | I am admittedly not a huge fan of GTA 4 in terms of the single player story. That said the online team modes of Cops and crooks,turf war and just general team death match is more fun that I have had in an online team based shooter in a long long long time. I hit a tree last week while running from the cops with 3 guys in my car blasting at the cops behind us. Myself and the guy in the passenger seat both flew out the windshield,he smoked a tree about 50 feet away and died, I lived,the two guys in the back seat they wasted the carload of cops who were also all players and those guys were pissed. I was sitting on the floor laughing hysterically because as I was flying out the wind shield I actually watched my passenger hit the tree from my peripheral vision. If they can capture the kind of fun I have had over the past week playing GTA 4 online,they will make a mint. The game in the cops VS crooks with just 16 people playing is just stupid fun.
