Vitrorax 17 Posted June 6, 2018 Me and a friend were just talking about how it feels like the top speed for the fastest vehicles in APB looks/feels as if it were 40mph. He said that he heard that it's because the current engine can't handle cars going any faster. It'd be nice if every vehicle could get a major speed boost once the engine upgrades roll around. But first thing's first, would it even be possible? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kiida 455 Posted June 6, 2018 He's correct, it's not currently possible due to engine limitations. After the engine upgrade it might well be something they look into. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CrimeHunterRich 1 Posted June 6, 2018 If they increase the speed, then you can drive cross all map within 2 minutes. So they should make bigger map as well. I think they will not doing it. Maybe they could add speedometer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adrturmoil 3 Posted June 6, 2018 This is a bad idea due to the way item missions currently work. They would need to rework missions before giving the vehicles a higher top speed or running will become the boring meta. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kewlin 692 Posted June 7, 2018 There are two issues with this, one being that you could cross the map in five seconds, as Rich said, and the second being that you. . . don't necessarily want to drive around a city at 100+mph. Driving's already chaotic enough in APB at 51mph, we don't need 80-100 players driving around like maniacs at 100 all the time. Oh, and the fastest a car can go is around 51mph. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Unreal 20 Posted June 10, 2018 They talk about news cars, new map and the engine update, the upgrade limit speed probably will follow the engine, who know. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Too_many_snowflakes 80 Posted June 11, 2018 This would be a bad idea unless the maps are bigger in the future. It already takes less than 5 minutes to get from one side to the other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrandonBranderson 672 Posted June 13, 2018 They could make the cars feel faster without actually changing any of their stats. They could add an optional animated camera that would include the old camera sway that was present in RTW-2012, and make it so that the FOV widens slightly based on the vehicle's speed while looking forward within a certain angle limit. That way if you turn the camera to the side the FOV returns to normal so it doesn't just look weird. Emphasis on it being optional. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let's not forget the ramps and jumps that are made specifically for the vehicle's current top speeds, you'll massively overshoot them if they were any faster. I think an audiovisual improvement would be a big help in improving the feedback of the vehicles but it should definitely be optional. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
