APB console version set to be developed separately

APB lead designer (EJ Moreland) has been speaking with 'Develop' about the possibility of seeing an APB game on consoles. In the interview, the developer explains that previous ports from PC's have never really felt the same and that they were investigating and testing what would and wouldn't work for a console version of the game.

Usually when you play a console-to-PC port, or vice-versa, it’s usual that the game won’t work as well as it did on its original platform. So for us, what we see for APB on consoles – and we’ve had discussions about this – is to make a different game that fits better for the system, honestly from my experience, as someone who plays PC and console games, I had strong concerns that the game we were making for PC wasn’t going to be viable on console. We would want to do some things to make the game much more console-centric.

APB for PC releases in July.
