I respect that . but the pictures you provided don't match. it's just Asalim usturoi concept . assume that MIDTOWN is where the near - Ellix do. if we don't answer ( LO ), it doesn't mean we're not interested, or we ignore you, most likely a different approach and solution is required here. Thank. but have Lo their plans . That first picture is just Crackdown. Another good game, but I don't really understand what you mean by the pictures I posted not matching? They were different versions of Asylum from different points in development. I'm pretty sure the ones with the orange sky and heavy fog were teaser pictures from G1 from before Asylum was released. Are you saying they're not Midtown? What is usturoi? I Googled it but it came up as Romanian for Garlic... Asylum Garlic Concept.

MIDTOWN should get more attention from developers . Ok. Now I'm REALLY fuckin confused. I know that RTW shut down, that's no secret and I've actually read those articles a long time ago. I'm not trying to debate with you, I'm just trying to figure out what the hell you're talking about. I do want Midtown to be a thing if that's what you're saying. I don't know which of my posts you were replying to because you didn't quote it, I just happened to see my name in your post. In my first post regarding Asylum I just said that I'm curious about how a completely finished Asylum would look if RTW actually had time to finish it.

They were different versions of Asylum from different points in development. The pictures you posted are from the Enforcers social district concept called "HQ". Asylum was the corresponding Criminals social district. Early during development they scrapped the idea of separate socials and introduced Breakwater Marina instead.

Sneerz Posted October 5, 2018 Posted October 5, 2018 I don't think expanding the game's playable area is a bad idea at all, but there are so many other issues that take priority over any type of expansion like this. You also have to consider the development cost and the money the game is bringing in at its current state. The original game cost $100M to develop (obviously too much), but creating a new map, especially with modern textures and assets for UE4 would take a lot of time and cost a significant sum.

Isais Posted October 6, 2018 Posted October 6, 2018 You'll need to redo the topology. I'm seeing 7 sided ngons on the buildings.

That wouldn't really work in a game like APB, having huge maps would have a negative effect on gameplay , all the missions would have to be reworked to take into account the longer time it would take to get anywhere, so longer missions longer time limits. Teams could be spread far and wide at the beginning of the mission so if you had one group of players bunched up in close proximity to the objective they'd have a massive advantage - you already see this to a small extent in the game as it is now. Then factor in the sheer amount of time it takes to get anywhere, it can already take over a minute to get from one side of the map to another - do you really want to be driving for 2,3,4 minutes before you get to the objective ? I'm all for new maps/content but I think the current map size is perfectly balanced for the way the game plays.
