Rebellion over het vervolg van Aliens vs Predator

RDJ134 23 februari 2010 om 16:13 uur

Aliens vs Predator is volgens de huidige verkoopcijfers de meest verkochte titel tot nu toe van 2010, en laat daar mee zelfs Bioshock 2 ver achter zich. Dus Rebellion is in onderhandeling om een vervolg op deze titel te maken, en dit is wat Jason Kingsley er over kwijt wilde:

"We're delighted to see the game shoot to the top of the UK charts," said company co-founder and CEO Jason Kingsley, speaking from Paris.

"We wanted Aliens Versus Predator a critical success as well as a commercial success, which we think we have achieved. We're also in discussions with Sega about ongoing support for AvP, and also about a sequel to the game."

"I won't say what stage those negotiations are in, but we would love to revisit the franchise. Fox are excited about what we're doing, and we feel we've added value to the franchise. We would love to work with Sega again, there were a lot of things we couldn't fit into the original. We are trying to do all the right things to make the franchise a success now and in the future."

"The reviews have been mostly good," he said. "We've had three totally shit reviews by some Americans, which is a bit odd. Some of them were inexcusably bad. If you discount those poor reviews AvP is averaging high for us."

"Obviously in the past we've had constraints put on us, meaning we've released games that we wanted to spend a bit more time on, which have critically been a bit underwhelming. That's always a shame."

Kingsley confirmed he was referring to recent release Rogue Warrior when citing those constraints.

"We do the best we can given the circumstances, and hopefully we have enough time to make the best game we possibly can, and that's what happened with AvP. With Rogue Warrior, we did the best we could in the timeframe, and I doubt anyone could do any better given the circumstance."
