Most resources should be spent on that project, as far as I'm concerned. Matt mentioned it on the old forums (which seem to be down as of right now) a little after they took over. He also talked about it a bit when him and Lixil talked to the Nekrova team (The ones making the Pheonix Project) on Discord and I was in the call at the time. So whether or not you want to trust me as a source unfortunately that's the best I can provide at the moment. He referred to it as "APB2" but said it's not to be confused as a sequel, it's just a ground up rebuild. It's just easier to call it that. I don't know if he's mentioned it on these new forums at all. And as Glaciers said he did say it would be years until it's done. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Either way as was said before, APB on UE4 is happening and is quite a ways off. Probably see quite a few recycled assets but i would guess it should be more inline with plans RTW had than current APB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, it was legal stuff for a while, mostly making sure that Phoenix wasn't using stolen APB assets anymore, but after that was all taken care of they had a more fun conversation for a while, mostly talking about the future of both games. Both sides left happy. Matt knowing that they weren't going to have to deal with any legal trouble and the Phoenix team (Made mostly of APB players) knowing that APB is finally in good hands. Matt mostly just wanted to make sure the stolen assets weren't being used anymore since he knew that the project originally was supposed to be a remake of APB.

If it still yields them a net profit they should keep it alive by all means, though.

Given you aren't the only person who is "in the know" on this remake/reboot I have no reason to distrust you (anymore than anyone else, at least ). Shame that it is still years away.

RedStickAdam 19 Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Is the lighting on police cars any bit improved? If so, can we see a screenshot or 5-10 second teaser of it? The current state of emergency lighting on enforcer cars is pretty garbage. Edited July 23, 2019 by Niedosik 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's one of the defining traits of the Enforcer faction, and a big draw for customization. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's possible that if LO furthers Dynamic Lighting that it might but majority of stuff is a direct port from LIVE, as is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saxtus 497 Posted July 24, 2019 Also I would like to know if the turn signals are clearly visible to others. It clearly must be the main reason why we have so many car accidents! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm using my one time use token to request that wheelies are added back into the game. Honestly, Vegas wheelies were one of my first motivations in this game.

APB has always had it and it must remain. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrandonBranderson 672 Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Wheelies add a lot to the "wow factor" for a new player too. "Holy Shit!" is the reaction I always get from new players when I show them the Vegas doing a wheelie for the first time. One time, years ago as soon as one friend saw their first wheelie they immediately went and bought the G20 Thornicator on Armas. Wheelies need to remain in the game, not only because they're fun but they also help a little with drawing in new players if they see some crazy shit happening right from the get go. Barely any other games have vehicle physics like APB's (and for good reason) but that's one of the little things that adds a bit of charm to the game. What other game can you be witnessing a gun fight in the middle of a street between decked out SWAT guys and cat girls, then out of nowhere a muscle car uses an ambulance as a ramp to jump over the gunfight while performing a backflip, taking out 10+ pedestrians upon landing and exploding on impact with a phone kiosk? That's pretty much an APB exclusive situation. Edited July 24, 2019 by BrandonBranderson 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

notMateo 23 Posted August 7, 2019 On 7/20/2019 at 5:08 PM, Revoluzzer said: APB will still be an old game after the engine upgrade, no doubt about it. And "fixing" everything else that is wrong with it will easily take another couple years, if it is possible at all. [LATE REPLY, LEAVE ME ALONE. But this was a great response so I wanted to necro a bit for it] This is pretty much where I was thinking it would go, too. Honestly I don't think anyone was thinking otherwise though, so I don't even know why I even posed the original question. Hope, I suppose. Thanks for the food for thought, though.

Uke 101 Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) Does engine upgrade include updating HUD btw. This shit is the main reason APB feels choppy even on decent fps, plus it takes like 30fps on its own for good measure. I just played some fight club and it's insane how much more playable game gets once you turn off the HUD. Excluding the fact that I don't know who to shoot at anymore of course.
