Strategy Informer writes: "For many of our generation, Alien was one of those classic Sci-fi franchises that, whilst slightly before our time, was something handed down to us by our peers and defined our childhood. For Oxford-based Rebellion Studios, it marked their first commercial success, and allowed them to enter the videogames development world. Now, after an 11 year hiatus, they're back with an update of their very first game, Aliens Vs Predator. Strategy Informer talks to Senior Producer David Brickley about the game:"
In the first part of our series we took a look at the inception of horror games. Now we delve deeper and see how they evolved throughout the decades.
"Ever since Xbox One backward compatibility was announced, gamers have been asking for a few high-profile games. While the majority of requests revolve around the Call of Duty franchise, the Aliens and Sonic franchises have been other hot series. Today, Microsoft announced that Aliens vs. Predator, Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and Sonic Unleashed are now backward compatible."
Kingdoms of Amalur was brilliant. Never did get a sequel because all the crap that happened after with the IP.
It looks as though the 2010 first person shooter, Aliens vs Predator might become a Xbox Backwards Compatible title soon based on its revamped Xbox Store product page.
Been playing the shit out of it on PS3. Hopefully this gives the game another lease of life. Such an underrated game imho.
