David Jones, creator of Lemmings, Grand Theft Auto and Xbox 360 hit Crackdown, demonstrated Real Time World’s next project at the recent Game Developer Conference in San Francisco. APB is an GTA-esque MMOG set in a contemporary urban environment where players take the role of criminals or enforcers. Those on the wrong side of the law can get involved in ram-raiding, hijacking and other nefarious activities, while police will receive all-points bulletins alerting them to crimes. Unlike other MMOs there’s no levelling, grinding or statistics, instead your character will gain access to more powerful items and new clothing and accessories. The four videos below show some gameplay, but most impressive are the character creation tools which should ensure that no two players ever look alike.
