EA spring showcase video has APB’s Chris Collins
EA has put out another video from its spring showcase in London, and this time it features APB’s Chris Collins chatting about customization in the MMO.
Again, like the MOH, it doesn’t tell you anything you already didn’t know, but still shows you how to create your own clothing, chats about the kill music you make, and the three districts that you will come across first in the game.
APB hits the US on June 29, July 1 in Europe, and July 2 in the UK on PC.
Watch the video below.
