That's a good trailer. I'll be keeping my eyes on this game, but I'm not completely sold yet. Looks like a MMO GTA.

I've been wondering about ABP, it has my curiously good game sense tingling from what I've read and seen about it. Lets just hope I can be a naked cop that drives around in a penis shaped car.

APB is apparently produced by some duders who had something to do with the original GTAs, which would explain why I'm not getting that soul-less knock-off vibe of Crimecraft.

The driving seems surprisingly good. I really want to see more gameplay videos but so far it looks very promising.

I moisten for this game.  It looks like there's a healthy dose of Saints Row in their GTA influence - and that suits me just fine.

Looks promising! I'd like to see how all of this works in the mmo setting. Still, I'll have to wait for reviews.
The ending was hilarious.

Odd. I saw a gameplay video at PAX and it was sooo, soo sweet. Mark Reign was playing in the video with a APB staffer and it looked like so much fun. I am likely buying a gaming PC essentially just for this game.

Considering the game isn't out until March next year I say they have plenty of time for polish.

Did anybody notice that the Cargo part of this trailer, with the car chase on the containers with the ramps, looks almost exactly like the container area in Crackdown? Maybe they just put it in there for fun :P

The game looks like it could turn out to be quite fun after it's polished and tweaked.  I really liked Crackdown so I'm hopeful Realtime Worlds can deliver another enjoyable (if somewhat flawed) game.

I fail to see the attraction of this game. A bad controlling 3rd Person Shooter is bad no matter how many players are on a server.

Could be the very first shooter to be a decent MMO. Mostly cause it seems to be an ACTUAL MMO.

They said it wasn't going to have a monthly fee. It's in the website's FAQ.

It looks alot like Crimecraft, even has the games you have to join. 100 players isn't too bad, but why can't it be fully open world like most MMOs?
