APB. Creator of GTA series spearheads MMO market.

APB (All Point Bulletin) is an MMORPG in which the player decides to be a cop or a gangster. You know what? Screw it. Just watch the most recent GDC 2008 footage:

APB Drive-by gameplay- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=gDBfA6HaQtk
APB "Shaft- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=EJhJnPnQB ... re=related
APB Character Customisation- http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=DJAv9HFEa ... re=related

Apologies for the ugly links. Tell us what you think of the ethics and such. Will it rival GTA IV?

It's not supposed to rival GTA IV.

It's not supposed to rival anything, that's the point. All MMO's have become encumbered with grinding and arbituary levelling systems and the main objective of knocking World of Warcraft off of it's throne.

It will very likely be a hit, because it's trying something that hasn't been tried before, and is doing it well from what I can see.

Sorry, when I said "rival GTA IV" I meant with the devotion of fans.
