I have my fingers crossed on this one!

IE: gaining territories, setting up criminal front-end businesses/ police stations, recruiting members/officiers, gathering resources (cars, money, drugs, respect, media awareness...).
Right now it looks just fine and fun, but it needs more for you to keep on coming back like a WOW. a multiplayer GTA isn't all that compelling. a MMO GTA is. i'm not sure if they've said what exactly you'll be doing in this game besides the driving, shooting and running.
because, honestly, every game has that. what else you got,APB?
at this point, I'm more interested in The Secret World.

I may have completely misunderstood that, but it sure sounds better than nothing but deathmatch as the video seems to suggest.
On a separate note; this is one game that I think would do well as a cross-platform title. Nothing fancy going on, the city looks simplistic, and GTA-style games work great on all platforms.

There is no substance in this video!

Hmm, I just looked it up on wikipedia and aparently it isn't coming out on 360 at all. Seems to be PC exclusive. That doesnt sound right. [en.wikipedia.org])
They also mention that there's a plan for them to sell this game to Rockstar to be rebranded as a GTA MMO. That would be a spicy TGS announcement, indeed!

"In September 2009, Realtime Worlds announced that ABP will not be coming out on Xbox 360 at the same time as PC. They released the following statement: "ABP will be coming out as planned in 2010 but sadly not for Xbox 360." More recently, IGN asked xbox.com, who said it will still be produced for the Xbox 360 but released at a later date.[citation needed]"

Seriously, though, I could see some people not being into it, but there are *lots* of people looking forward to Crackdown 2.
This isn't it, though. GTA MMO maybe, but *not* a Crackdown MMO.

Surely there must be something more to it than that, but from that trailer, you just can't see it.

Especially since the claim they will not have a traditional subscription I will certainly pour some time into this thing

How many ways can you say hell yes?
EDIT: Nevermind... just found out its PC only... why dont developers ever utilize the PS3s ability to have a keyboard and mouse? :'(

saints row 2 on the other hand, the whole time i played it.. gta came to mind.. and i hate gta. so as you can imagine, i didnt play sr 2 that long.
but seriously, being offended by this is like being offended if someone calls the first perfect dark a goldeneye clone.

You're saying not to compare one sandbox game to another. Ok. We'll compare it to Street Fighter. Happy?
"This game takes everything Street fighter does... and ignores it..."

I'll reserve judgement until it's released, I just hope it's not going to be a constant stream of players just running around shooting each other with no point to the game itself.
