E3: EA gets APB

APB
All Points Bulletin: it's massive, it's online, it's like playing cops and robbers, but in your computer rather than your street.

EA has announced that it'll be publishing All Points Bulletin, the long-awaited massively multiplayer online cops-'n'-robbers game from Scottish studio Realtime Worlds, founded by Lemmings and GTA mastermind, Dave Jones. It's out on PC in 2010. From the release:

APB is a new breed of online game. Set in a persistent living, breathing open-world urban environment where fame and fortune awaits all players. Some players will achieve this by feeding on the city, its people and its businesses…the Criminals. Some will live by a higher code and instead feed on the criminals and their organisations…the Enforcers. This dynamic where players become the core content for other players is one of the many unique features of APB. Its deep, rich customisation system provides players with the ability to completely personalise their identity. Looks, clothing, vehicles and even music, all to astonishing detail and quality.

There's an official website here.
