So put away your poking sticks and let the paramedics work.
In this particular case the paramedics are GamersFirst. Last month a subsidiary of GamersFirst bought the IP rights for crashed-and-burning MMO Shooter All Points Bulletin. The game will be relaunched as APB Reloaded. Looking around for information about this resurrected title, it becomes clear that many former APB players believe the problems suffered py the original game will be taken care of after relaunch. GamersFirst vows to do more about balancing, cheaters and matching system. Wether the game can actually be fixed, and if so, without being neutered remains to be seen.
Second up we have the slightly newer old news about PlanetSide Next. SOE president John Smedley has written a blog post about what this title means to him.
As a PlanetSide player(Yup I still play the old game :D) I must say that this is great news. For a while there were strong hints that something was brewing but wether or not PlanetSide Next was actually a title being worked on was not entirely certain. It now seems completely certain that PlanetSide Next is happening. The game is rumored to be released early Q2 2011 and closed beta testing is suspected to begin in Q1.
