APB Podcast Episode 12: EJ Q&A 4U

[phreakyeggz]

Realtime worlds had a very precise vision for this game, and it's nowhere near that vision anymore. Gamers First has no clue how to make a game. Only milk it. I still love playing what remains though.

[xlPuRpLeKuShx]

Who's tired of hearing OHHUHUUUUOOOHHH IM SO TIRED NAOOOOOW

[15Tuner]

Hacker game



[justapodcast]

[GTAIV4hussain]

[htachihtachi]

[coolgamer89]

[kaydakota81]

will there be a monthly subscription fee?

[lolzforfun1337]

@kaydakota81 yes

[zombiehunter96]

@kaydakota81 yes and no. I have alot going on in real life so I can't play much, only on the weekends really. If you are like me you can but 20 hours of play that don't expire untill you use them all up at a time. But if you play alot you can pay $10 a month, whatever works best for you :)

[TheDiabolicalToaster]

I think one of them was part of the group San Paro PD. You know, the group of players who act, look, and ride like real cops.

[Vinsoloni]

rofl 4:00

[Tobb3zz]

Haha, you guys are so cool. "That's the way I roll Mark, that's the way I roll" Loved that. And later on when he ran for all those guys. Wow!

[Arcrer]

Nice of the driver (chris) to let the other guy get out of the car on the wrog side of the firefight XD, is there going to me a fee to play the game?

[StubbornMook]

[Kitsunin]

Oh, so it sounds like if you can run Unreal 3 it should run? Sweet, I wasn't sure, but my comp has 0 problems with UT3, pre-order time :D

[warspitejr]

nice dell inspiron lol

i got the same 1

[Gsaror]

HEY! i know what this is. I KNOW a good game when I C it ok? dont insult me just Bcuz U got it and I dont.

[PwnageFoU]

look at the comments when the crims kill chris. lol. "slaughter fest", let him finish his smoke, then smoke him" "theyre on their way, hold your fire until they start crying"

[markleungown]

Real Die hard ending,Hero rushes FOR THE WIN :D

[Red0100]

The guy who is going on about how amazing this game is appears to be employed by the company, which makes his statements untrustworthy.

[SuperCakeGuy]

It's amazing how accurate you can make your character!

Just look at Chris In-game!!

The only thing he needed was Glasses..

But Chris probely thought he wasn't looking that badass with em' (;

[TWZCatinHat]

i been re-watching the podcasts... for every door in the game the player has to kick it open? Why?

[SuperCakeGuy]

@TWZCatinHat It's awesome? But again i must admit it feel's stupid to kick in a door when your just passing through a Hallway -.-'

[xXmoraleXx]

"let him finish his smoke, than smoke him"

I now want this game just so something like this happens to me :3

[BotHub]

Lmfao the ending was EPIC!!!!

[airr916]

rofl....they killed the girl while she was being handcuff....lol

[BenTraplin]

I WANT A BUICK REGAL TO DRIVE IN D8

[20mik07]

Why would you want to steal another players car think about it you would get pissed off if they done it to you

[violenttj]

@20mik07 actually i wouldnt

[CDNSMOKEJUMPER]

Too piss someone else off of course.

[Hyroblaze88]

@20mik07 Exactly why I would steal their car.

[xyczz]

@20mik07 that is exactly what one would want to do, piss someone off, bigtime

[TheNythen]

@20mik07 Yea, but he will get money by doin' it. So why not?

I Would do it too? :P

- Ima soon get APB, and then ima steal EVERYONE's cars!.. Or not..

[Scatertom1]

@20mik07 Why would you start putting people into gas chambers?

cause you are not nice.

[violenttj]

wow thats stupid u cant steal player owned cars.. but still great looking game

[engetproductions]

@violenttj I think they missunderstood it. I think you can TAKE another players car, but he won't loose it permanently and you will not get it as your car

[wolfinthesno]

so the map/server kind of works like test drive unlimited?

[pudding570]

i hope it comes out on xbox live if it does thats kick ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[sinsProphecy]

i dunno why but i love the way that they are getting shot to hell at first then the back up rolls in and them 2 jump out and just start owning some noobs you would get a very heroic feeling from that you just saved them 2 players ^^

[johnnyrckt]

"That's the way I roll mark, that's the way I roll."

Classic!

[YumYumYogurt]

So there's nothing to fear from dying? You get taken out of the action for like 10 seconds? That sucks. Getting shot down should take you out of the fight entirely, otherwise how will it ever end?

[abomb10]

@YumYumYogurt after you kill a number of them you win so it ends

[NeoXF]

@YumYumYogurt You can see that the enforcer's mission was to take out the opposition, once they did that, they've completed the mission (same for the opposition I guess), and it's your choice if you want to continue hunting them down again or something, mission-wise however, there's no point to it, same for them (who failed).

[wolfinthesno]

you spawn a pretty good distance from the fight to if you had watched the other videos/done your research youd know...

[YumYumYogurt]

I did know that. It took him about 10 seconds to get back into the action. That's lame. They should put you permanently out of the mission if you get killed.

[wolfinthesno]

same with any other shooter your only out of the action for 5-30 seconds in most shooters...it makes the battles last longer. funner

[Cmr33xx]

which ever team is stronger.. and do the mission.. and you will win.. then no one cares if you die

[bladekid95]

great ending lol

[Luciferus200581]

4:10 - 4:20 epic ending

[soad7172]

god ppl want this game to be perfect. it can't. as along as its a really nice enjoyable game n u dont get bored fast which i doubt u will. is al good to me =)

[JoshuaE1990]

it wasnt clear if it was free they said as of now it was free so who knows

[yusufer5000]

I loved the ending with all the criminals.

[lucasrsbr]

The game is 100% free, obviusly, there will be cash itens, and stuff, but most of the itens u dont need actually

[MMORPguy]

@lucasrsbr Where'd you find that out? All I heard was that there'd be no monthly fee.

[SE4NNNN]

There are still no plans on how they will handle their fees. Please don't go around spreading false information. But from what i know i can tell you is, they have said there will be no monthly subscriptions.

[DeepZero]

The game is published by EA. There is NO way that they'd just give the game away. There won't be a subscription fee, but there will be microtransactions and the like.

[FilipeVII]

I think every one is wondering if this game is 1 time paid or if its monthly to keep playing. I know this game is a business, but instead have to pay monthly the producers could add items tht can be bought by paipall or other. Just like the others MORPGs.

[MuddahFukkah]

My question:

How does moving between two particular districts work if the district I want to move in is already full (100/100 players)?

Will I have to queue?

[JonTheHolyDude]

How big is the game world exactly? The scale of GTA? And is this game a one time buy, or a monthly subscription?

[iPsychoKitteh]

I have a question. Can people make their OWN private places to play and invite certain friends? I would LOVE to see that in this game. I'm shy and I don't like to play games online until I really know how to play and what not, you know? And when this game comes out i wanted to get it for my friend and I but we don't want to play with other people until we know how to play really good. So anyway, I hope you guys read my comment and add something where I can make my own private room.

-Mynx <3

[Shatteredsoul2102]

No. From what I gathered it is all run on RealtimeWorld's servers, meaning unless you created your own private server (which can usually get you banned from the game altogether in most MMORPGS).

But I am sure they will add it at some point, they already mentioned adding private buildings for your characters and gangs in probably the second major expansion/ game update.

[Dtthelegend]

i second this idea.

[frederiksuhr]

Find a hideout maybe at the docks or something and recruit a gang? the only way your safe is having guns and hired guns

[FilipeVII]

@iPsychoKitteh its 100% online, i dont think that would be posible, think about WoW there is no LAN or private servers.

[iPsychoKitteh]

@FilipeVII

Have you ever played halo for the PC? You can have private games on there... I've never played WoW so I wouldn't know about that, though...

[FilipeVII]

@iPsychoKitteh

yes i know what you mean.

In WOW there is a dedicated server that everyone can join and play.Now imagine that you could create private matches at APB, you could invite your friends and have some fun, but when you were to play team vs team missions, instead the teams atk each other they could help eachother and it would be easier to finsih the missions and easier to lvl and earn money. Well tht wouldnt be fare. I dont know if I made understand my point ^^...

[iPsychoKitteh]

Yeah I understand... Then maybe you can just have a private room to 'Practice' in with friends? I mean I didn't mean a private Game just a room where friends can hang out maybe kill each other you know?

[FilipeVII]

@iPsychoKitteh

yeah tht would be a good idea :), hey if u are thinking about buy it mayeb we could hang out or some... xD Be cool.

[iPsychoKitteh]

xD yeah, that'd be awesome

[gamerx765]

I agree with Rob, getting killed is almost pointless. I was really excited about this game, but wtf you kill someone and 5 secs later they pop back up. Sorry but that is just retarded. Who are you trying to please with that strategy? 5 year olds? I mean seriously what is even the motivation of trying to survive? Just run out like a crazy man every time with guns blazin cause it doesnt matter if you die. Sorry but I think this is one idea that can really really screw up such an awesome game.

[Troudabour]

lol is he wearing a L4D t-shirt?

[PsalmLove]

THANK YOU for supporting PC GAMING!

[manijakBF]

4:10 so funny

[ProudAussie4ever]

Can you actully set up your own mafia or crime organisation?

[chicheater1]

yeah. in one of the podcasts, there was a member who was part of the "narcotic brotherhood" which isn't one of the npc gangs.

[PortalCproductions]

agree at 03:38 i will purchase this game! and not dowload it :-)

[AllMightyDiesel]

pc ftw!!!

[AllMightyDiesel]

no you will stfu! dumbass! do ass your told bitch!

[mindfreak445]

I'm not 18, so i can't get into the beta, but im gonna pre order it.

[rex669]

I cant wait after quiting wow been waiting for a new MMO starwars or this.

[lincoln112233]

will this game run on my dell xps m1710 laptop with a 2.16 ghz core 2 duo, 2gb ram, 7950gtx graphics card

[noxyc]

on low-medium settins, yes

im not entirely sure tho...

[lincoln112233]

cheers for reply bud :)

[mechi1993]

the game will have NPC police or criminals???

or the only NPC will be the civilians?

[Bigbobo33]

The only NPCs are the Civilians and quest givers.

[mechi1993]

=(

this could be nice than there were some criminal NPC and polices for kill you, and cooperate with them..

but my dreams never get satisfacted...xDxD

thx 4 the info

[Iwillgetyou2]

No it not would be nice ... I playing the beta and there is realy NO need for attaking Npc if you want that you can play GTA4

[mechi1993]

yeah..but gta iv online sucks..the lag, the cheats, only 32 players, not much to do in the game than kill other plaers..etc

[Iwillgetyou2]

I didnt mean the Gta multiplayer itself ... I mean the NPC attaking idea of you.

There are enough players ... and if their dont you can do a mission calm alone for yourself

[mechi1993]

am...well..yeah 100 players are enough..but think about this : get some NPC for help u while playing would be nice..and about the police: for when the criminals are the most, and there arent much polices online ( i know it..coz i played SA-MP for 2 years...and it was good..but needed something like NPC( and in SAMP were 200 players...)

[Iwillgetyou2]

No ... there is no need ... as I told you I play every beta session I can ... And even if there is a 2v1 its winnable for the one man .... And you can call backup at anytime .

[mechi1993]

well...i was a pro in SA-MP xDxD

i did 4 vs 1 and i won =P

[Iwillgetyou2]

You cant match SA mp with APB its a diffrent gameplay ...

[mechi1993]

no, it isnt..i saw all apb videos and the gameplay is similar...the only diff thing is than there wont be lag like in sa-mp xD( than there u have to shoot around 2 m up of the enemy for hit him xD

[Iwillgetyou2]

You cant judge with the videos its a different expierience ingame now stfu

[mechi1993]

not it isnt

and i dont wanna stfu idiot!

[AllMightyDiesel]

dumbass how do u know there will be no lag? assholes like you always think the game makes you lag! you lag cause of shitty pc, and your!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! connection!!

[mechi1993]

mm

1st..dumbass is ur FKING FATHER idiot

2nd i think than my pc doenst sucks, a 8800gtx 4gb ram and core 2 duo 6850

3rd my connection is of 20mb, so the lag isnt my fault

NEXT TIME SHUT THE FUCK UP

[AllMightyDiesel]

GET LOST

[chavontour2kay8]

i haven't been accepted, yet i subscribed ages ago and have good computer status.

i presume it's because i live close to their company lol.

[FuckinggRockStar]

No, that's not it. I live like 40 minutes away. Idk, maybe they're wanting to test it out on lower spec computers first.

[FuckinggRockStar]

I got into the beta but can't take part until next Thursday because I'm not 18 :(

[DaniteFlyer41]

yea right...they would never let someone under 18 in the beta...its against the rating system...you are a fucking LIAR

[FuckinggRockStar]

I'm no liar. I got an email telling me that I'd been selected for beta. I can't create an account yet though or download the game because I'm not 18 until next week.

[grimgor999]

Liar if you really did you would know that you cant say you got chosen for beta testing or anything about the beta

Heard the code of conduct is so strict

Also i so want to get beta testing

[FuckinggRockStar]

You're an idiot.

[grimgor999]

And Youre a liar

[megapengwenman]

I say, in chaos rules you should be able to steal player owned cars. Yeah it would suck have yo car jacked but that would add to the experience. But there could be like a way to lock the car so it doesn't get stolen

[bakersk8r41]

did the beta already start i just filled an aplication or is it coming up

[grimgor999]

Beta is out but not everyone is getting in

[stoprogratis]

"First release PC only" that's a good news. I hope that will help game to be polished and well optimised.

[Pismigioeret]

cmooon 2 weeks since the last podcast, we want a new one =D Please do one every week, its so good, cant wait for this game =D

[LukichOi69]

Finally another podcast,long wait for it :)

[wendell16]

i got a email from realtime world they let me in the beta :D

[warthog91]

Could you just launch the character customization xD that would be enough for me :D:D:D:D I SOOO want too try it out !!!!

[ninjafishy77]

will it be for the xbox 360 the website says maybe on the FAQ but someone must know.... please say yes XD

[ImDarkie]

pretty sure its pc only

[grimgor999]

PC only for the first releas they MGIHT make it PS3 and/or Xbox360 for a later release

[Superkidd22]

anyopne got a beta code

[Superkidd22]

chris got owned

[Deadsh0t360]

I can't wait for the public beta to come out so I can get into firefights, and use a dart gun.

[DreagonIcarus]

The last text before Chris gets smoked :

"Let him finish his smoke , then smoke him"

Epic

[Dominus357]

I'm so joining the Chaos server where everything goes and you can kill anyone. e.g no carebear limiters where ppl do their missions with ease, lolz.

[KazzRacer]

I can't wait for this game, the bits of this video have just made me want to play more and more!

[killinwithoutchillin]

I WANT IN THE BETA!!!! ANGER SOUND!!!

[BRICKMANlight]

do you have to train skills?

[lizarduz]

No, APB has no skill system that is simular to a typical RPG, however you can upgrade your weapon to do better on some of it's stats, aswell as adding a support skill. simular to the skills in Battlefield.

[BRICKMANlight]

i mean skill system like on Crackdown

[narutoanimerock]

XD Im Charles Rowell, the sender of question number 3. This game is gonna rock

[iRey360]

Is this Mark Rein from Epic Games?

Why is he with Realtime Worlds on this game?

[freaksey]

I think it's a advertising strategy, or it's because he's from the guys who made the engine of APB (UT3 Engine).

And a question: Can criminals kill each other? Or is this only possible on a "chaos"-based server?

Aww.. and still hoping to get in the beta =)

[munkeypantsman]

Because APB is using Unreal Engine 3.

[iRey360]

Ooh right, didn't realise it did!

[Zaven55]

fuck if i got into beta id tell everyone and show everything, i'm not some lil greedy bitch. FILM TELL ALL, i want to know how this game is from real players!

[xMoosk93]

then you would get banned from the beta. haha

[omgtoms]

i already have sent beta application..but there are no news about when does it really starts(only in few months and that was september) and when they choose testers??

[1bchrisd1]

it started im in

[LeetRecordings]

is it good

[milkerpro]

Also if your vehicle is destroyed does it re spawn?

[VietCrea]

probly xD

[ibeBOREDOM]

ive been hearing tht the beta is EU only, meaning no americans in the beta. can anyone confirm or deny this rumor?

[Sublimnl]

deny...we've just received beta in US

[ibeBOREDOM]

sweet, thx

[VietCrea]

xD it llook funny whent they were just 2 and the other guys was like more then 20 XD IM APPLYING NOW HOPE HOPE HOPE i get it so i can try it on mine fresshh new 48 tum tv =D

[1bchrisd1]

Yay i got the beta thanks GOD!

[VietCrea]

how??? wow men

[1bchrisd1]

Ive signed up for the beta 3 months ago and i just got an email that i got in downloaded the files that took like 2 hours!

lol but i cant say more because of NDA

[meisgeghra]

Technically you're not supposed to tell people that you got into the beta, because of the NDA.

[VietCrea]

what is NDA?

[meisgeghra]

Non-Disclosure Agreement, It's a document you sign, telling you to keep your mouth shut.

[VietCrea]

ahhhh cool ^^ men i wish im in beta xD

[1bchrisd1]

technically ive just done it

[luanthegreat1]

another question is, were the collisions turned on in the demo gameplays? As far as I saw there was no damage to the car as I expected (from GTA 4 viewpoint). If there is a toggle, when can we turn it on and off, and for what purpose?

[djpoontangy]

theres damage. You can see it at 2:21 the hood of the car.

[luanthegreat1]

How will the world change so that its more like the real world? Will there be weather(rain,snow, fog, etc.)? How realistic will the day/night cycle be? I'm a total graphics buff so the more the better :D

[karatealive]

lol some one said "let him finish his smoke then smoke him" that's pretty good.
