You know what they say: If at first you don’t succeed, join the team doing the remake. Veteran game developer David Jones, responsible for classics like Lemmings, Grand Theft Auto and Crackdown, made an MMO called APB a little while back that eventually closed up shop in record time. Then, a company called GamersFirst bought the rights to APB, and made plans to redevelop it as APB Reloaded. Now, that same David Jones has joined the free-to-play remake in “an advisory role.”
Really? GamersFirst says it’s excited to have Jones around to “share his vast game design experience during critical design stages of the ongoing development of APB Reloaded.” That sounds good, we guess. Everybody deserves a second chance, right?
