    Like I said. Its my opinion. I'll keep my opinion on the console version won't change that it's trash. Also you stating the ps4 release didn't have the new engine is not true. They literally released the new engine(upon release) only on consoles. Also Gamers First did the new engine stuff before little Orbit bought it...(i believe LO bought it a yearish later from G1) The PC version hasn't gotten it yet. You can tell by the different UI, the crappy text etc. The shades and how the game looks compared to the PC version. 

     

    Also the road map takes like 5 min skimming for answers for consoles... Donno just seems kinda lazy. You don't have time but you want others to waste theirs to answer your questions... 

    Well, the why, in Little Orbits older posts, do they state their working on a new engine to add to both tge console and pc versions?

    check the roadmap..last news about console plans there

    I don't have time to read through or try to look for answers.  It's faster, for me personally, just to ask.

    Have you played the console version when it first came out? Holy God awful it was. The live pc version was better optimized then that crap. I just answered the OP question about things to the best of my memory. Each update did get better but I still wouldn't touch the console version with how clunky it is. I think I also mistyped when replying. I meant to say with the PC version is better optimized(if that's ever going to happen this is my opinion I just hate the way console version feels) that version needs to be ported and approved by M/S. All updates need to be approved. I feel like we literally just did a circle. 

    The PS4 version was fine for the first 9 months, until Gamers First started the holiday stuff.  This should be a clue for Little Orbit to start there.  The console version did not have the new engine upon PS4 release because Gamers First weren't the one's who did new engine stuff.  Little Orbit is the only one's doing new engine.  They (Little Orbit) even talk about how they were planning work on new engine for console in older threads from 2018.  I'm tired of seeing fog on door windows,  blurry street signs, blurry ugly custom painted cars with blurry symbols (imcluding blurry custom clothing) that's there because the textures/graphics don't load properly more than 50% of the time.  I was unstoppable with LMG for the first 9 months of PS4 release, then once Gamers First added the holiday stuff (Christmas 2017) Everything went to crap.  I played missions until my main character reached max and I'd very much would like to play missions again but can't until Everything is fixed on PS4.

    For those saying buy a PC.  I own one.  Some things I like having on console.

    Consoles are already using the newer engine, but still need a lot of updates that LO is working on. You had the newer engine since console came out ...

    Wrong, the new engine was planned by Little Orbit when they bought APB in 2018, from Gamers First.  Gamers First did not release APB for PS4 on a new engine. Furthermore, Gamers First had zero plans to use a new engine.  It was Little Orbit who decided APB needed a new engine when they made the purchase.

    GET YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT BEFORE COMING HERE TO COMMENT!!!!!

    It's a pinned thread.  It takes seconds to find if you go to the Social category.  Don't be lazy.

     

    No, seriously.  Chill.  APB is a game, it's not worth getting this worked up over.  Also I ask again, where the hell does this come from:

     

    I could be wrong but it seems like Matt is the one who attends the cons and as far as I know he's the CEO, not one of the coders for the engine upgrade.

    You wanna talk about stupid? Lets just demand that they release what they have before it's ready and ignore what it might fuck up.  But once it does fuck something up we'll be right back here to complain about it right?  Then it'll be LO's fault right?  Even if they were to try that Microsoft and Sony wouldn't let the update through so you would still be in the same boat you're in now.

     

    Which means it's even more important to get the PC version to the same point as the console version asap.  You have had the engine upgrade since 2017, we were originally supposed to have it in 2014.  It's best to get the PC version consolidated with the console version so they won't have to keep wasting their time making two different updates for each version, so as of right now the PC engine upgrade takes priority.  Don't think I don't care about the future of the game, APB has been big part of my life for almost a decade.  At least try to understand what they are doing is NOT an easy task.  If you give that engine upgrade thread a quick looksie you'll see that random unexpected performance drops and bottlenecks keep showing up which they then have to identify, find the cause of, and fix each time.

    We PS4 players have not had the engine update yet jackass!  The game was released on PS4 in 2017 by Gamers First, who had zero plans for a new engine.  It was bought in 2018, by Little Orbit who are the ones who planned a new engine and update. They claim they're working on everything but they're coming to their second year of owning the game and well, they haven't released anything to us!  They haven't finished working on everything so no update release for anyone.

    Chill.  Pay attention to the Tracking the Engine Upgrade thread.  The Engine Upgrade is still their top priority, and by working on the upgrade they're improving your version too.  I don't know where you get the idea that they think cons are more important.  You'll get your day/night cycle and music studio soon enough, just be patient.

    Besides, to chill is ridiculous when the game has been a thing on PC for an eternity and on PS4 since 2017.  Yes I know LO has only own the game for almost 2 years now but this is just stupid.....  they've put game cons ahead of fixing this when this has been a game for so long.  They're amateurs and as amateurs, they should do the right the first before anything else first.

    Where is the thread?  I don't have countless hours to look for it.

    February 2020 is almost halfway over now, and the PS4 version is still garbage with no offical update release in sight.....  why not PIN your topic about all work on the new engine and such ON YOUR HOME PAGE SO IT'S THE FIRST THING WE SEE WHEN WE LOG IN?  It's bad enough as it is, you think game cons are more important than fixing a game for your fans.

    Hi there,

     

    I 100% sympathize with the console players. Both PS4 and XB1 are terrible at the moment.

    I try to include console specific details in my weekly Engine Upgrade threads here:

     

    Thanks,
    Matt

    Thank you!

    I knew you amateurs cared nothing for your PS4 fans... still no update... so sad... so pathetic.  If you finished the update and sent it in for approval, why has it still not been approved.  The Cons are over, bug the heck out of Sony to get them to approve it or something.  Yes, I know, I keep creating new threads wondering what's going on.  Ban me from the forum if you don't like it.  I'm not someone who searches forums for hours because I never find answers when I've tried to in the past.  It would be nice if you would, if you really cared, as the developer, to comment an answer right here.  I doubt you have the guts to answer though, because you know you don't care about PS4 fans.

    K:D is not all that important on APB.  Mission wins are more important.  When a person can win missions by putting himself in harms way, purposely dying a lot to distract the opp from going after other team members, and still win the mission, it adds to the teamwork aspect.  Kills matter when the final objective is deathmatch or if you have to kill a VIP.  If you have to protect a VIP (keep them alive), running is an option.  If you're the opp who has to kill the VIP but you don't know how to stop a runner or you just cry "Stop running", you're a lazy fool who wants kills to come easy.  Running and going after runners is fun for me because it creates more competitive situations to think through and act accordingly.  Oh!  Also, because I do love a good police chase.

    you openly just admitted Little Orbit sent it in and that the console did not approve it for some reason.

    consoles have the right to do that.

    also you mentioned about updates from 2017 that was g1 so yes that's g1's fault on that part.

    Not that Little Orbit isn't responsible for other things , but you complained about updates from before them? just stop.

    further updates yes they need to complete there's no one saying otherwise.

    But like i said consoles have the right to refuse , like if they did a software update and the game update didn't match up to specs. it happens.

    Wrong sir, I didn't state it wasn't approved for some reason.  I stated it is still waiting on approval. It hasn't even been looked at by those who are responsible for approving updates.  Learn how to read.  It will help, trust me.

    If that's the case then go play those other game's if you truly feel that way, Don't come whining here cause it won't get you anywhere, PS. Add it to the pile.

    I will do as I please.  I have every right to have my say.  This is a forum, everyone is entitled to their own opinion.  If you don't like that I don't have to do as you say, that's tough.

    source?

     

    That would be Gamersfirst not Little Orbit not doing their job.

    That would also be Little Orbit not doing their job after buying the game a year ago, claiming a month ago, they finished the update and sent it in for approval, meanwhile, a month passes and the finished update hadn't gotten an approval while other games updates get approved every week, so, that's GamersFirst fault?  I think not!

  15. Posted

    I posted here because I believe those at Little Orbit are lying and there isn't an update coming.  I'm tired of so many other PS4 games getting updates every week but APB Reloaded can't get one update since it was released on PS4 March 31, 2017.  That ain't right...

  17. Posted

    So, I heard the PS4 Update was completed and sent to Sony for approval... approximately how long before we hear anything?  I'm tired of the textures not loading properly on a game that has a fun vehicle customization system with the devals and such...

    So, here I am again.  Two weekends ago server maintenance was done.  On the topic about the server maintenance, now closed to comments/replies, Matt stated there would be no decrease or increase in performance after the maintenance was done.  Well, he was wrong.  On the PS4 side, during the week last week, performance got worse.  Then, by last weekend I wasn't able to log in half the time.  Now, I can't log in at all for the last three days, Sunday, May 5th through today, Tuesday, May 7th, I can't  log in.....  why can't you guys do what other  companies do and put maintenance and update messages right on the title screen.

    the only locked thread discussing maintenance specifically says “on both PC and our Console platforms”

     

    if you meant a different locked thread discussing maintenance please feel free to link it, otherwise i’ll just continue to assume you can’t read    

     

    if you meant the thread about the 12 hour maintenance and subsequent server issues, no shit the majority of communication was between staff and pc players - news flash, 99% of the forum users are pc players

     

    maybe use your “influence” on the ps4 playerbase to get them to actually use the forums and that 99% number can change

     

    ok

     

    remind me again why all the other ps4 players would care what you think of apb

     

    tough shit, the pc player base has been waiting almost double that amount of time  to see progress

     

    and yet here we all are, everyone playing an equally garbage version of apb

     

     

    My point is they've been doing fixes for PC and Xbox One but have done zero fixes for PS4.  How is that fair?

    Ok lets cover a few things.

     

    1. MattScott explained IN DETAIL how yes consoles are messed up how G1 deployed them.

    It was also mentioned in MattScott's post how the best course of action would be to upgrade pc first  and then port to all consoles , because building APB just for one console first then having to then make it for the others actually is much much harder than a raw copy of APB then converting it properly to all consoles.

     

    2. I don't care about anything before Little Orbit bought out APB it has nothing to do with Little Orbit so stop taking it out on them.

    you get mad at one person then take it out on another guess what its you in the wrong.

    Little Orbit is innocent of anything Gamersfirst did.

     

    3. You dare Little Orbit or MattScott to reply? They answered you a year before and every month since then with the status updates and roadmap for APB.

     

    4. You're tired of reading about how it will improve yet ONCE AGAIN i am saying how the new Engine Upgrade is being tested by the SPCT team.

    You saying you have been reading is an admission that you've seen posts including these by all of us.

    It would be impossible to read the forums without seeing them and then comment about the improvements coming once the Engine Upgrade is ready.

     

    5. I do not see how APB is worse for little orbit working on fixing APB.

    Unless you are referring to lag which was from DDoS attacks and not their fault.

    If that is what you mean then you are in the wrong for blaming the victim.

     

    plenty of other things can be discussed , but since Little Orbit is actually working and the SPCT team is actually testing a near completed update , then it would only mean running no where fast while spinning your tires.

    No real need to discuss them because of this very reason.

    Matt also stated a timeline of having all three versions up to speed by the end of April 2019 including releasing an update for the PS4 version.  It is now May and they're not even done getting all three versions up to speed...  Yes, the PS4 version is now worse because there is longer load times just getting through the different screens, among other issues, and no, it's not due to DDoS attacks.  Matt, saying himself, that a decrease or increase in performance wouldn't happen after last weekends server maintenance, is just plain ridiculous, when improvement is supposed to be what they're working toward...

    listen you guys better cater to me THIS INSTANT or i'm going to tell my 3 instagram followers what a bad game this is!!

    You're not understanding, the game has been out for over two years on PS4, all the while they've done many fixes for PC and Xbox One versions and not once done any fixes for the PS4 version.  Darn right they should show their PS4 fans that they care, but remains to be seen as they ate just as garbage as GamersFirst was, toward PS4 fans.

    Hey guy no one forced you to play their game, when you accepted the Terms of Service, you accepted to "THEIR" terms, so unfortunately ya just gonna have to wait.

    Play it while ya got it, don't get butthurt when it's offline, no one here wished this at all. We just the same player like you that wishs to login and play. Thats all. Relax.

     

    One thing I love is being able to do paint jobs on the vehicles...  How can I relax when I can't enjoy doing the paint jobs or even viewing the beauty of the paint jobs when the graphics don't load properly, getting all blurred out and ugly, causing me not being able to line up decals unless I keep resetting the app until the graphics load properly, which in turn is an unfun waste of time.  Wasting time waiting to see if a games graphics load properly, is every reason not to relax.  There is also no relaxing when trying to play missions or play in Baylan when the graphics don't load properly because when the graphic aren't loaded properly there's more lag...  Seriously, why waste the time trying to get the graphics to load so that there's less lag during missions?  At this point they should just take it down from PS4 and focus on their cute widdle baby versions, PC and Xbox One...
