While gamers clamor for a new installment of Crackdown, Realtime Worlds is slaving away at another open world game -- one in which you'll witness the gritty, crime-infested streets without being aerial half the time. The game is All Points Bulletin, releasing in 2009 on the PC, Xbox 360, and maybe the PS3.
Up until this point, gamers and the press alike had considered it a given that APB would find a nice, spacious home on the PS3, but while talking with GamesIndustry.biz, Colin MacDonald of Realtime Worlds wouldn't commit.
"Yes, we'll be looking seriously at it, but that doesn't mean it's going ahead, and it doesn't mean it's not going ahead," MacDonald said in response to a news story alleging, among other things, that a PS3 version of APB was in development.
So will PS3 gamers have a chance to strap on their blinged-out clothes, slide into a pimped-out car, and roll the streets with eerily realistic (and blingin') versions of Shigeru Miyamoto and Peter Molyneux? We don't know, but our hearts say, "maybe."
