Yay for everyone commenting without reading the article. This isn't "I wanna be like you", this is "I want your brand all over me". There's a difference.

Seems pretty plausible. Both Rockstar and Realtime worlds have similar roots coming from Dundee,Scotland and id imagine theres a closer "relationship" going on, if you will.

What am I seeing here?! Does nobody else think this would be outstanding? That APB presentation at GDC was sweet and I, like everybody else, love the GTA series.

I would pay to play this. Plain and simple.

but there is one massive flaw with this game, as crooks you can do whatever destroy people and shoot whatever you want, but as cops you have to protect people, thus it would be hard to not hit pedestrians while chasing people and not accidentally shooting them during a gun battle, online games are all about balanced gameplay and this makes all gameplay unbalanced.

despite what I said above it is definetly a good idea for a game, one that nearly every kid no matter what demographic would want to play, I mean name one person who wasn't gay or a girl that didn't play cops and robbers with they're friends when they was a kid eh.

This could add some depth to GTA multiplayer if true (I like GTA IV's multiplayer, but I think there are some slight balancing issues).

I can't really see Rockstar going for it.

Unless of course Take Two make an executive decision on the basis that a near-future GTA release would send stock prices soaring again...

This game is being released too late behind GTA to really matter. People may try it, but basically everything it wants to do, GTA is doing right now.

Pretty much exactly what I was going to say, well said. When people got excited for APB back when that presentation was done, we knew nothing about GTA 4's multiplayer. Now we know that it's more or less what APB is trying to be just not the size of an MMO.

Well, since Realtime World was founded by the creator of GTA, I'd say go for it. It could be a pretty sweet combination.

This isn't the same APB that was on Atari Lynx, is it?

This should have the GTA name. Crackdown was basically GTA2 in 3D, and the creators of GTA were working on a GTA Online concept before the release of GTA3 (and I guess they split off from R* around that time). Whatever the name may be, its at least in spirit, the MMO version of GTA.
