I'll throw the link up here http://www.xbox360achievements.org/news/news-6364-Epic-Games-Could-Acquire-Realtime-Worlds--IP.html
If this is to be true, and Epic do acquire the ABP IP, well colour me interested. I didn't even realised this game existed until recently, and it seemed as though it has some neat ideas, but they weren't executed properly. And this article is strongly suggesting that epic has plans to bring it to xbox 360 as well.
PS yes, I do visit a website to find out how to complete achievements...
APB Reloaded
Game » consists of 8 releases. Released Jun 29, 2010
Better known as the free-to-play "APB: Reloaded", APB is a MMO third-person shooter by the developers of Crackdown. Players choose between the hard-boiled law enforcers or the feared criminals as they try to stop the opposing faction's objectives.
APB could be thrown a lifeline
I'm going to go ahead and guess that the IP was super cheap and that nothing will happen with it. There could be something else in the portfolio too, something that Epic needed and so they bought everything to make sure they got it.

" And colour you for using incorrect spelling and being and useless twat. "It's nice to see it's not just Americans that can be elitist about regional spelling differences.
" I can't see them being interested in anything other than ripping off the character creator. "My thoughts exactly. It was the best part of the game and pretty good tech. If you can get it for a song, why not?
I just think that with Epic at the helm, they could do something special with the IP and its stuff like the character creator. I wasn't straight up saying I was looking forward to them porting the failed pc game to the xbox.
I dunno. I think APB could totally be reforged into a decent and possibly even fun game, given that someone would be willing to put resources into it. Given everything that's on Epic's plate right now, I'd say it's more likely that if they bought APB it'd be for the technology that runs it, which is supposedly pretty bitchin'.
