I know GamerFirst took over APB: Reloaded a long while ago, but i was under the assumption that even that was shutdown and scraped. 

Why is this website not covering APB stuff if apperently the game is still up and running?

    That is what i remember from my last experience i had some years ago when APB: Reloaded when it was reacquired, i remember loading in and almost immediately was run over by a small army of cars.  

    To be fair, that type of thing is not a farcry off from what players in GTAOnline can experience right now (with player interaction toggled on)

    So the whole annoucment of Easy Anticheat has me interested, because if they do it right, this could (maybe) be a good thing... but i'm not sure how that'll help if the game itself doesn't draw in new players.

    When i saw the APB title i wondered if it was a necro post, hard to imagine the game still exists, it was an interesting game to begin with, but that was about it, not even sure it can compete with GTA online tbh. oh well, consider me somewhat shocked it exists at all still.

    Who are they gonna cover the game for, the all of a few hundred players?

    After Little Orbit/Gamers First took over the development of the game has mostly been little bits, and the engine update has pretty much been scrapped for little piecemeal bits after the update languished in development for ~7 years. This whole 1.3 push is basically just a swap to 64 bit and EAC.

    To Little Orbit's credit, they have managed to do more for the game since taking it over than Reloaded ever managed to push out (barring cash shop content).

    I remember playing ABP: Reloaded for a few months ages ago. I had a good laugh with it but it wasn't worth playing for long.


    I remember thinking that it was basically like GTAV, but worse. Like, the gunplay was slightly worse, the driving and mechanics slightly worse, the progression slightly worse. I preferred it to GTAOnline in terms of world structure and PvP, but didn't particularly like either.



    My favourite feature was your car stereo. iirc, you could create your own playlist of your own songs and have it play out of your car radio. Everyone else could hear your music too (if they were in your car or near to it). I used to really enjoy blaring out some heavy industrial, or putting on a bit of thrash metal. Made a nice change from all the chav stuff everyone else was listening to!
