Hexerin 1140 Posted February 16, 2022 13 hours ago, glaciers said: i don't think orbit can launch another apb game, they no longer own the ip rights Correct. The only thing LO can do is work on this specific game, they cannot remake it or release anything else under the APB name. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cuve 244 Posted February 27, 2022 *sigh* People that have had faith in LO to actually release the engine upgrade (let alone a properly functioning one) gotta get their selves checked out... It's never been in the picture and it'll never happen... Not under the current developer team. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jazeker 1082 Posted March 13, 2022 (edited) I still remember the rtw office videos and them explaining how much custom code the game had. Then people after them jumped on it, and more, all up to LO. Never expected it to be fast. Maybe near the end of this year Edited March 13, 2022 by Jazeker 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZoriaDunne 327 Posted March 13, 2022 Let's just accept this game is dead. 3rd Month in 2022 without any news, nothing of 2021 roadmap was made. The captain left the ship long ago. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Even worse, they sold the APB IP/brand to a shady no-name mobile-game company. Trying to go to either apb.com OR their site (unitgame.com) gets blocked by Chrome for being too sketch. lmao. Such a baffling move and a slap to the face by LO. I love APB but I'm pretty sure once the servers shut down, the APB franchise dies with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love APB but I'm pretty sure once the servers shut down, the APB franchise dies with it. Nope. In this current market there will be people wanting to buy it. There is nothing else out there that can touch it in terms of creation and pure fun. If somebody else did buy it, they may put the creation behind a pay wall. With regards the engine update. I have no idea, it cost millions to make APB, and from what i gather, the engine update is being built from the ground up. If it were easy to do, other companies would have built their own, but that has not been done, so i have never put much hope in the engine update or if it would be even better then the current version.

The captain left the ship long ago. That's basically it. The game has been left to rot after they saw themselves trapped in a corner. If they're about to turn back around and re-do things, they should at least keep getting us updated. Now they just hid in the shadows, and nothing else has been said ever since. Even Matt himself isn't posting anything else. That's a major letdown for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
