00:03I'm Dave Jones, I'm the Career Director at Realtime Worlds
00:07and we're here to have a look at a work in progress on our next game
00:11which is an online-only game for PC called APB
00:15So let's have a look at this here
00:17So what you're seeing here is it's the first kind of what we call
00:21next generation online game
00:22because it's very fast, very dynamic
00:24and it's a third person action game
00:26fully online, so there's online-only play
00:29and one of the great features about APB
00:31is the fact that you can really make your own characters
00:33to an immense level of detail
00:35So we've given for the first time players
00:37we believe in online games
00:39an unprecedented level of customization
00:42so even over 100,000 players
00:44you can look exactly as you want
00:45and different from any other player
00:46So here for example we can see a character
00:49that a player's made, a female character
00:51the clothing, the tattoos
00:54effectively all the pattern on the clothing
00:56her hairstyle, all created by the players
00:58even the vehicle itself, fully customized
01:00and made by the player
01:01So APB offers an unprecedented level of customization
01:05and that customization, because we're online with
01:07Assistant, can be shared with other players
01:11people in your clans
01:13and we even have an auction house
01:15so you can actually sell these kind of items to other players as well
01:19Here you can see she's basically part of a group
01:21and she's about to go out probably on a mission
01:24the players with their names in green are part of her group
01:28and as I said it's a mission-based game
01:30basically there are NPCs in the game world
01:33who will offer missions to your group
01:36you accept those missions
01:38and off you go and start working on that mission as directed
01:41and the cool thing about the mission system in APB is that
01:45it's what we call dynamic matchmaking
01:48so this player is playing a criminal
01:50so for example she'll be given a mission where she has to go
01:53and her group has to go and steal some explosives
01:56Now up until that point in the mission
01:57they haven't done anything wrong
01:59so other players on the enforcer side
02:01can't oppose and they can't kill them
02:03but as soon as effectively they commit a crime
02:06stealing those explosives for example
02:10we then look, the system looks, the game looks
02:12for enforcers to pitch against them
02:14because they've committed a crime
02:15and that's what we call a dynamic matchmaking
02:17so effectively what the enforcers get is
02:19they get given their own mission
02:20which is to oppose these criminals
02:23so as I say for example they may steal some explosives
02:26and the next part of their mission is to go and bomb some targets
02:28the enforcers will then be given a mission
02:30that they've heard about that these criminals are about to bomb some targets
02:34get given the same place and they have to defend it
02:36so the mission is kind of intertwined between different players
02:40here you can see the players are basically
02:41you know one person can drive
02:42the other players can lean out the windows and shoot
02:46shooting some bystanders unfortunately here as well
02:51oops
02:52and that's a good way to kill people as well
02:53is obviously you know to run them over
02:56so it's a very very competitive game
02:58very strategic
02:59you have to play really well as a group together
03:02we have full voice over IP to support that
03:04so you have full voice over IP
03:07built into the game as standard between the groups
03:09it's fully 3D as well
03:10so even if a player is not in your group
03:12you can just walk up to anybody in the world and chat to them
03:14so it's what we call fully positional 3D voice over IP
03:19of course just like in any kind of open mode sandbox game
03:21you can steal any vehicle you see
03:23enforcers can effectively commandeer any vehicle they see
03:27the action itself takes place
03:29sometimes it's about driving
03:30a lot of the mission objectives are down back alleys and streets
03:33so there's a nice flow of
03:35you know leaping over fences
03:37leaping over walls
03:38get into areas
03:39then busting out into streets
03:40back into vehicles
03:42so we wanted to capture that really
03:43kind of you know
03:44the
03:44the great things you see in movies
03:47about great car chases
03:49and great on-foot scenes
03:56so she's taking some combat here
03:58we have a normal kind of map and HUD system
04:00down the right hand side
04:01which shows basically where the shots are coming from
04:04she's been stunned here
04:05enforcers have what we call less than lethal weapons
04:07and they can actually arrest players
04:09so arresting is quite cool
04:10it makes the two sides of the game very different
04:12it's something that criminals can't do
04:14and it's very humiliating as a criminal
04:16if you do get arrested
04:18it basically takes you out of the action
04:21for about an extra 15 to 20 seconds
04:24but if you're lucky
04:25your teammates can actually come and free you as well
04:28so eventually she was out of the action
04:30and they're killed as well
04:31part of the customization is actually audio as well
04:34so for example when you die
04:36players can create what we call death themes
04:37and when you die
04:39effectively you get to hear the theme
04:41that this other player has created
04:42so effectively they're just kind of goading you all the time
04:44and making sure you know who they are
04:48that's one of the great things about AP
04:49we want to make it so that players can actually
04:51become famous in the world
04:53you'll recognize players by sight
04:55you'll remember them
04:55you'll remember what they're for
04:57we have many leagues
04:58daily, weekly, monthly leagues
05:00which players can top and become famous for
05:02they have great rewards
05:03so it's all about creating the exact identity
05:06that you want for yourself
05:07and your clan
05:08via music, customization, vehicles
05:13she's getting arrested again
05:15it's pretty embarrassing
05:16we have a league for example
05:17for the most arrests per day
05:18the most arrests per week
05:20there you go
05:21she's hopefully about to be saved
05:22from one of our teammates
05:24here he comes
05:26two of them
05:27there you go
05:28that's good team play
05:32and of course
05:33we have this kind of
05:34you know
05:34you're very vulnerable
05:35when you're unlocking somebody's handcuffs
05:37or likewise when the enforcers are trying to arrest somebody
05:39but we give you a big boost to the enforcers
05:41a big reward if you do do a lot of good arrests
05:45so the missions are very dynamic
05:47they're taking you from different positions in the city
05:49to other different positions etc
05:51so you're always constantly on the move
05:53looking for you know
05:55vehicles to get around as fast as you can
05:58all the weapons are fully upgradable
06:00the vehicles are fully upgradable
06:02your characters fully upgradable
06:04there are literally thousands of unlocks in the game
06:06to upgrade all of these
06:07so you can really kit out your character
06:09depending on the kind of play style you like
06:11whether you like SMGs
06:12or rocket launchers
06:13or shotguns
06:15that's all something you can
06:16you can decide between your team
06:17how you want to play
06:22when you're actually in your vehicle
06:23you can play any kind of music you want
06:26so we integrated the Last FM technology
06:28so basically you can import all your own music collection
06:31your MP3s
06:32and just play that
06:33you know as you're cruising around
06:34and what the FM technology does
06:37is it basically
06:38if somebody doesn't have exactly
06:39the same track you have
06:40it basically transmit the kind of music
06:42you're listening to
06:43so if you want to drive around
06:45and you're a player
06:45who wants to be known for listening to opera
06:47while you go on a killing spree
06:49then as long as other players
06:50have at least you know
06:51potentially one kind of
06:52piece of opera kind of music
06:54then they will hear the kind of theme music
06:56that you want them to hear
07:08just now this mission is basically a 4v4 mission
07:12but even the missions themselves
07:14in terms of number of players
07:14are very dynamic
07:15so for example if the enforcers feel
07:17that they're you know
07:18they're really under pressure here
07:19they can call for backup
07:20we can actually bring another group of players
07:23into the action as well
07:24and then likewise if the criminals feel
07:27that they're now outnumbered
07:28they can call for backup
07:28so what started out as a 4v4 mission
07:31can quickly escalate
07:32into say a 20v20 mission
07:34so very dynamic and very exciting
07:36as the missions progress
07:42every time you die
07:43you get to see a lot of stats
07:44about the player who killed you
07:45what weapon they killed you with
07:46what upgrades they have on that weapon
07:48what rank they are
07:49we have what's called a threat level
07:51which is basically you know
07:53for the last hour of play
07:54how well you've played
07:55so you get some players
07:57the really good players
07:57can achieve very very
07:58very high threat ratings
08:00we use that threat rating
08:01as part of the balancing system
08:03for the matchmaking
08:05so we for example
08:06if a player is extremely good
08:07he's been playing for say an hour
08:08and we know his threat rating
08:09is very high
08:10because he very rarely loses
08:11we may actually match
08:14three players against him
08:15or have a much lesser rating
08:16so it doesn't always have to be
08:18about one versus one
08:19or two versus two
08:20forces for
08:20it's completely asymmetrical
08:22in how we match
08:25so here they're on a mission
08:26basically to destroy some vehicles
08:28as part of the mission
08:30even that skill can be upgraded
08:32so if you want to be a great arsonist
08:33we have you know
08:34ways in the game
08:35to even progress your skill
08:36as being an arsonist
08:37or a lock picker
08:39or breaking into vehicles
08:41all these skills can be upgraded
08:42within the game
08:51vehicles themselves
08:52as you see
08:53make great explosives as well
08:54so a lot of
08:55one of the big tactics
08:56is basically tactics
08:57is you know
08:57to try and effectively use
08:58the vehicles themselves
09:00as great explosive devices
09:05that looks pretty tough
09:06he must be about to die
09:07any second now
09:08there we go
09:09to the ch�을
09:11to the new
09:11two
