Guns, Pretty Ladies & Street Fighters

Artist Arnold Tsang worked on APB before it died and was unceremoniously brought back. He’s also, as Capcom fans may soon recognise, part of the Udon crew, who are unrelenting in their ability to release coffee table books full of awesome Street Fighter art.


The Secret Lives Of Nuns. Wait, What?

The concept behind this live-action APB: Reloaded trailer is that people are able to assume new identities in the game and shoot guns. So one lady can morph into a schoolgirl. A business guy turns into a thug. And a nun?


More Than 100,000 Register For APB Reboot

When it stopped taking applications last night, the new owner of APB, the cops-and-robbers MMO, said it had more than 100,000 requests to participate in the beta for APB: Reloaded, a free-to-play reboot.


APB’s Getting The Beta-Testing Band Back Together

Beta-testing invitations for APB: Reloaded, the free-to-play reboot of the cops-and-robbers MMO, have gone out, apparently to beta testers of the original ill-fated MMO. Beta players will return to San Paro, with their old characters intact.

In September, Realtime World’s cops and robbers MMO APB: All Points Bulletin closed its doors. In early 2011, free-to-play MMO publisher GamersFirst launches APB: Reloaded. GamersFirst CTO and COO Bjorn Book-Larsson tells Kotaku how the resurrection is going down.

APB: Australian Prohibition Benefits?

So in what must be record time, All Points Bulletin (APB) has bitten the proverbial MMO dust like many before it. There are conflicting reports about compensation for the game – with some saying they’ve received discounts or vouchers, and some saying you can’t get anything. But all accounts agree that it’s by no means easy. So our question to you is this: has Australia’s logistical isolation, for once, done us a favour?


No Refunds Given For Failed MMO

Given the fact the game shut down after only three months, there weren’t many subscribers to MMO title APB. If you were one of the lucky/unlucky few, don’t go expecting a refund, because you won’t be getting one.


Global Agenda Woos Distraught APB Players

Taking advantage of the closure of Realtime Worlds’ All-Points Bulletin, Hi-Rez Studios is giving APB refugees 30 per cent off the purchase of its massively multiplayer online shooter Global Agenda.


Gears Of War Studio To Buy Failed MMO?

MMO title All Points Bulletin failed and took its developer with it. So why on Earth would a company as successful as Epic Games be interested in buying the rights to the game?
