APB,Huxley and Champions online will be released before the second half of next year.

APB will definately be the best of the trio.

I wouldnt say that necessarily.

Champions Universe is being done by the guys behind City of Heroes. They're going to have more freedom now that they've gotten rid of the license from Marvel, and I think that will make it a better game (more creativity).

Huxley, IMO is the sleeper hit of the year. The tactical squad-nature applied to massive battles sounds like so much fun, I cant wait for that game.

And, I'm looking forward to APB more than GTAIV actually (gasp(!)). I want interaction with others more than I need linear narrative.

I vastly prefer to do my gaming online now, and I much prefer interacting with other players.

4.1 - no way
They have NO experience in developing for PS3 so they might as well forget about it and join RARE as a Microsoft first party studio

i thought that perhaps microsoft mite have purchased these after crackdown...which was a great game imo! you won't be seeing this on the ps3. and after reading some of the stuff that gets posted on here, i thought that the 360 was already maxed to the hilt, and was dead this year????lol

kids these days ey?!

edit: you are rite sonarus, experience is not a factor! anyway, realtime worlds have been working on this for quite awhile now. that's why this will stay 360/pc exclusive!

I doubt it has anything to do with experience. It will have more to do with Msoft buying exclusitivity or publishing the game like they did crackdown.

@dan- boy Yea but it will be released in 2009. I think a yr is enough time for a ps3 port. Like i said it will be harder and harder for msoft to secure exclusive deals as ps3 install base grows. PS3 has now become a financially viable option. To secure the deal, msoft will most likely have to pay or at least offer up some incentives. But a yr is more than enough for a ps3 port

This game will be a madman! I'm definately gonna play as a cop thoough. I think it would be a great idea if you could somehow bring your supercop from Crackdown into the APB world. I'm also interested in seeing what stats they will keep record of; arrest, crimes committed, ect.
