  Wow, that's that HUD all about? No occlusion on that weapon info tag (which looks like nonsense words to make it seem "high tech"), and what's that horrible blue circle at the bottom in the middle of the screen? What a mess. Dead Space had a great augmented HUD but this is too cluttered.
  
  Gameplay looks very bog standard, straight forward shooting with some forced routes to give the illusion of stealth. A heavily scripted persuadotron sequence and some basic corridor shooting. I still have no idea what type of game they're trying to sell me. Reply +2

  Looks like a hastily released mod for Prototype. Reply +3

• Free Warhammer Online PVP game shown

• Embar 16/08/2011

  Well that's one way to capitalize on the fumbled launch of a multi-million dollar investment. Also, adding a cel-shading post-pro effect doesn't disguise the fact that it's all Warhammer Online assets. Thank goodness it's free... Reply +1

  In Wolverine: Origins you could unlock all the Wolverine costumes he's used throughout the years.
  
  I used the Jim Lee blue and yellow Wolverine costume to replay the fight against the sentinel, recreating one of my favourite 90's Xmen cartoon episodes. Reply +6

  Hmm, guess they picked a bad screenshot? Foliage system doesn't look very "epic". Will wait to see video. Reply 0

  Even the vocal minority will be paying for micro transactions when they are released. We've already seen the same outcome in loads of online titles where the vocal minority end up being hypocrites and paying for this crap.
  
  If you want to send a message, it won't be done in writing, it will be done through unsubscribing. A feat that I doubt any will accomplish. Reply -6

  "The expectation is slightly weird here, that you can do this stuff without killing yourself,"
  
  Actually you can, with less brute force and a little more actual talent. Reply +7

  By the way, if anyone here is in marketing or advertising...kill yourself. Thank you. Just planting seeds, planting seeds is all I'm doing. No joke here, really. Seriously, kill yourself, you have no rationalisation for what you do, you are Satan's little helpers. Kill yourself, kill yourself, kill yourself now. Now, back to the show. Seriously, I know the marketing people: 'There's gonna be a joke comin' up.' There's no f*ckin' joke. Suck a tail pipe, hang yourself...borrow a pistol from an NRA buddy, do something...rid the world of your evil f*ckin' presence.

• David Jones joins APB: Reloaded team

• Embar 12/05/2011

  Actually those of you who read the dozens of articles published about the RTW disaster will understand that Dave Jones never got to contribute creatively to APB as much as he wanted, as his time was consumed with micro managing production.
  
  Dave Jones is a brilliant designer, he's proved that with Lemmings, GTA and Crackdown. Being allowed to get on board in a purely creative role is fantastic news for APB:Reloaded and I'm glad he's still passionate about it. Reply +3
