Sega just donated £500 on our Justgiving page

The game is amazing and looks like it's going to be great fun to play. It's not finished and has some issues left to work out, but I can tell you: The multiplayer is gonna be a blast!

Now that was very kind of them!!

Looking forward to this.
I might even have to buy a console...

Wow, what cool peeps!

Well done to you guys who went, brilliant effort.

"I plan to live forever.........or die trying!"

We did indeed, almost blagged two of them lol but felt too cheeky to take both. It has a copy of the box set with all of the Alien/Predator and AVP films in. A WY Lanyard and a Sega USB stick with the AVP 3 press kit on it.

The game looked awesome. They were demo'ing (sp?) the multiplayer stuff. We didn't get a chance to play it ourselves but from watching others play it I'm looking forward to it's release.

Yeah, very cool. They said they were going to donate £500 and asked if that would be enough. We were kind of like "uhhh... yeah"

Hope to do more stuff with them in the future, who knows. Be good for the charity bucket anyways.

Cheers

D

Outstanding donation & nice bag of goodies you three got. Well done

Jason

Fair play to SEGA.
Whatever people may say about them, that earns them some respect in my eyes.

I'd have gone along myself, except I don't yet have full kit and I'm not as pretty as Darren or Abe

Are they planning a large release event, do you think?

a large release event would be cool
also see if we can get a similar thing done with them for the colonial marines game

I'm the one they warned you about

We were first engaged with Sega to do with Aliens:CM. However, that game is well and truly shelved for the moment.

Don't worry. We have plenty of good things on the cards coming up to do with the AvP game. Fingers crossed.

noooo they cant shel colonial marines its one of the games i'm waiting for

£500 –– OUTSTANDING!

Nice work, peeps.

I think Sir Johnus of Oddballus/The Movieum of London are doing a launch event for the new AVP game.
I'm sure he'll post about it nearer the time.

I can't wait to play this game!!

Fingers crossed that will be confirmed.

It would be an amazing venue for such a thing.

In a way, it's a shame NSC isn't in the centre of the universe (London), cos that would also be cool!

am sure we can throw something together thats amazing

I'm wondering if SEGA will see how AvP goes and, if it's successful, they might give that contract over to Rebellion too.

By Thors thunder I also will endeavour to make this too if plenty of notice can be given & if someone would let me doss at there/share room?

i doubt it gearbox have put alot of work into it and what i have seen of it does look amazing

Amazing to look at, maybe.

I read somewhere the reason they've shelved it is that it took Gearbox 2 years to achieve what Rebellion bettered in 6 months. One review said that ACM was linear, whereas AvP is free-roving - A popular thing in games like HALO. If HALO and AvP can be like that, why then is Gearbox limiting the player with a linear adventure?

I think they'll approach someone else to finish it off, if and when they feel there's a market for ACM.

Changing the developer of a game in-development is not something a publisher would want to do. In fact, is it even plausible unless the game was essentially being redeveloped from scratch? Wouldn't it be a nightmare for trade-secrets etc?

Are we confusing "linear" with "on-rails"? IMO at least, the Halo single player campaign is linear - you need to do certain things and trigger events in order to move onto the next objective.

If AvP is successful, Sega will arrange for Aliens:CM to be finished by Gearbox. If AvP doesn't do well, then ... I dunno.

Then we nuke the entire SEGA complex from orbit..... It's the only way to be sure!!

Sorry, I know a couple of people in Rebellion, and how looooooonnggggg AvP has been in development.

Your answer to to why AvP is taking priority over colonial marines can be seen in all the photos and excited cries from conventions: "look, an Alien!", "Look, a Predator!", "Aren't you from Halo/Stargate/SAS?"

Yep, it's a nightmare of breach of contract, failure to deliver legal shenanigans and then finding another developer that can pick up the project, learn the toolset, fix and replace all that needs to be and still hit the required submission date. Not a course of action that a publisher takes lightly.

Stressful for the developer that gets lumbered with picking up the pieces, too

I meant the first 6 months of development.
The rest has indeed been a long time coming. Probably worth it, though!!

Heya Jon,



Who do you know, if I may ask?
Do you know a chap called Andy, perchance?

Actually a Jamie, although there may be an Andy there who is ex-Gremlin/Rage/Core that I worked with

well so far it seems cm is plagued with problems
