1. The Warriors and Breakin were the 70s. The end result of the 70s no less. Warriors I'll give you, it's was '79. Breakin'  ? No, no, no, my friend. That was like '83. I know, I had the parachute pants and the cardboard in the driveway at the time. 2. He said side-scrolling beat'em ups.
Where did they get their gang ideas from? And come on, Bob Goldthwait was the leader of a multiethnic street gang in the Police Academy movies. Has the whole world gone insane??? |

Of the four generic npc's gangs in the game, two are made up of rich kids. The ciminal gang is full of spoiled rich kids who use their parents' money to fund their criminality and the enforcer gang is full of rich kids who want to keep the riff-raff out of their neighborhood. The other two are a) politically motivated punks who grew up in the financial district (?) and b) a corporate police force.
The only thing they need are decoder rings and secret handshakes.
I'm actually very interested in the game, but it needs more crackdealers, pimps and gangsters-killed-my-dad vigilantes.

I'm looking at it more like you join a gang or you die type of world. How businesses stay open I have no clue. I don't see insurance companies lasting long in an environment like that. Course maybe they have replicator technology and land is the only thing that matters anymore? Course if no one can die, what do you do anything for? I guess the answer is..the lulz.

I guess I'm the only one who thinks it would be cool to make a gang that dresses like they're from an 80s side scrolling beatem up. Maybe that's because I've always wanted to wear neon pink leopard print.
It would have to be a multiracial gang, though. For some reason gangs in the 80's weren't all about "the blood", or "la raza". It was a more inclusive time. You really have to stretch to Cadillacs and Dinosaurs to find anything that would be considered "multiracial." last I heard, Asians were a racial group. so asian guy + white guy = multiracial, no? |
Yes, I know I'm paranoid, but am I paranoid enough?

They just need to start the NA Beta already.

Probably only going to happen as open beta. Meanwhile, I'm an Euro, signed up early and still not in.  |

That's cool, it's too bad all the examples he did were shitty techno.
If you could import loops, it might be more interesting. It would be cool to record a bunch of stuff and mash it together in there.

Sooo crazy. Wonder though how they're planning to deal with copyright holders inevitably getting their panties in a twist once people start converting commercial pieces and optionally selling these in game... |

I've still got my .mod collection... wonder if it can import them? Most of them were freely shared at the time.
Amazing they've got such a nice collection of tools. It does make me wonder if they've got weak project leadership, think the game needs distractions or are planning to sell or re-use the technology.

Part of the game is total customization. Initially, the multitracker was supposed to be for death tunes and sirens only, the radio tracks thing is new to me.

Is the beta over? I never got in either, but blame it on my crappy rig. Who'd want to test their game on a four year old comp.

It's still on, and they're apparently inviting people here and there. Not sure how they decide who gets in or not, but it must be a shitty process, since a lot of 4channers are in there.

I recall the beta being hosted on the other side of the ocean, which might explain why no one has gotten in. Of course the NDA might prohibit people from saying.

Given that it's APB, I'd say that sounds like the perfect process. |

This game has really dropped off my radar for some reason.

Well I know why it did for me. Because I just checked my beta application and somehow had to reregister and fill it all out again. :(

I suspect a red name will be hitting me soon - so until you see it feel free to be skeptical.
We've just started getting the North American Closed Beta kicked off, so those that have applied should start seeing some movement in the next couple of weeks. We're planning on keeping the audience small for a bit longer so please be patient.
I am happy to answer the questions that I can (or am permitted to), so feel free to ask.

Yes. I don't have the details on when it will be dropped, but I'd expect not until closer to release.

Have you ever fired two guns whilst jumping through the air?
Have you ever fired one gun whilst jumping through the air?
Ever been in a high-speed pursuit?

I think that's the best we can do.

That's not a new job, I just didn't redname him until it was relevant. |

Shouldn't this thread be in the PC and Console gaming forum since it's not a MMO.
