The AVP demo did have some pretty sloppy and repetitive gameplay. Lets hope that the full game is nothing like this. Video after the jump.
It was never our intention to give PC games a superior version while console owners are left out. We had no plans to work on another console patch for AvP - the PC update was meant as a favor without wanting console users to feel bad about the update. We are and we have always been very sympathetic with our awesome console community and had not intended to make them feel left out in these changes. We're sorry for any ill will towards the product and ultimately wanted players to enjoy the game as it was intended across the 3 platforms
WTH!!!!! they felt satisfied with their product on consoles??? the matmaking is broken and on ps 3(dont know about 360) your xp always resets!!!! and they're satisfied with it??? what a bunch of money grabbing idiots
i only played a max of 10 matches but there was a glich were you can get xp in the singleplayer.
if I'm not mistaken, they removed that in the latest patch
but when you lose your xp in mp, that means you lose your skins too
Its such an easy formula to get right, but they always manage to screw it up some how. The game was just bland, bad, and repetitive. Its like falling for a scam, getting lance henrickson involved, the interviews, the media hype. It was terrible. The online was a joke... but not only that, 1/2 way through the predator campaign, it just launches you into the outside of the map. So you DIE every time you load this level, can't get past it. Have to reinstall, and that didn't even work. It clearly wasn't tested by anyone.
I bought the PC version thinking it would at least be the better version, but the graphics are meh at best, and the performance again is meh.
As somoene said below, they just smash & grabbed with the NAME behind the franchise.
The only good AVP game is going to have to be made by fans. As a third person/first person view type title. The online could have been brilliant. But every single fucking thing about AVP sucked.
I really loathe the media for the obvious pay off, or whatever the hell you want to call it. THere is nothing redeemable in a title like AVP, and as a gamer, the media "gamers" should report it as such. I mean, its like they willingly lie about a product to get it to sell. Thats our "media" in gaming. Its like its the Media + Developers then theres us stupid gamers who don't know any better since we cant get decent demos anymore.
I want Rocksteady to make a AVP game, bet it would be tight as hell.
I've never seen such angry words before reading SEGA's comment section, and I was one of the vicious bastards who threw verbal feces at Naughty Dog for fucking up the multiplayer in Uncharted 2!
Shame on SEGA and Rebellion for abandoning this game instead of fixing the broken mess they released. Not to mention how SEGA botched the PS3 port of Bayonetta, and if it weren't for Sony stepping in to fix it, it'd still be a broken mess too. Valkyria Chronicles is the only thing SEGA has done right this gen.
My concern is more than Sega have dropped all support for this game, as once this happens shutting down the servers tends to only be a matter of time.
Do the console versions use dedicated servers?
It hadn't even been six months since the game had released and it's not like it sold poorly on consoles either, they even released DLC. Decisions like this really make me lose hope in SEGA, heck, I still can't get past the save eating bugs in Condemned 2!
The fact that SEGA and Rebellion claim the game is in a good condition on consoles is disappointing since it sounds like it isn't even close to that.
if I'm not mistaken its not, theyre host based(if the host leaves, theres no host migration, everybody just get kicked out)
Just goes to show AVP was nothing but a brand name smash and grab.
sega needs the resources for the other turds they'll be releasing, don't be too harsh. /s
i actually liked avp but besides maybe a handful of games (vc, bayonetta, condemned ) they're released some real shit this gen. if it weren't for sonic fanboys, they'd be out of business.
Segas Community Manager Clumsyorchid shocked the AvP player base today with a forum post:
"I've just received a mail this AM regarding patches for the console versions of AVP and I regret to inform everyone that these have sadly been scrapped.
I had previously made a claim that these were coming and at the time, this was very much on the table. For the console community, I apologize, as I know there are many features and updates that you'd like to see. I'll keep fighting internally for this to happen, but until I hear otherwise, there will not be a console patch for either Xbox or PS3."
Some people are so dumb aren't they?
On topic: They're not putting any more effort into it because more than likely they're working on a sequel. And expect the potential for this franchise to end up on the 3DS...

What the fuck? I was just thinking about buying the game since it's price dropped a bit but what the hell is this? The game released in February come on!
there are many games that i would not play from start to finish even if someone payed me the full price of the game, sadly this is one of those games.
I have it for PC too. The singleplayer is awesome as well, don't skip out on it just because of no console MP support. It's a great game in my opinion and you should definitely buy it.
It floppep coz it was crap, i knew that b4 id even played it (i rented it)
Rebellion should either give up or stick 2 makin PC games, all there games this gen hav been poor, did any mofo hav the misfortune in playin Shellshock 2? after 20 mins i turnt it off and rapped it back up
Id like it more than any-1 to hav a GREAT AvP game its just we dont stand a chance if Rebellion are the mofos 2 do it
Fingers crossed for Alien Colonial Marines
Too bad it apparently tanked. And too bad that support is tanking too.
When it was released I was hoping it would score great (it didn't).
Then I tried the MP PC demo thinking it was probably better than the reviews claimed (it wasn't).
I'm still hoping something sweet comes out of Colonial Marines, but I'm not as optimistic as I used to be...
I don't get it. It's not like they're exploring foreign territory here. Think about it: guns, aliens, space marines. There's tons of great games with these concepts implemented the right way (and also a lot that don't). So there's no excuse why somebody can't churn out a proper current gen Aliens game.
Ain't nothin' in the world get Black Dynamite more mad than some jive ass sucka dealin' smack to the kids!
NOT THE ORPHANS!!
lmfao, loved the movie
On Topic: WTF M8! I actually liked the new AvP game despite its flaws, was willing to pick it up again now its cheap. But seriously, no patch? You better have a good reason for this, and its either your announcing AvP2, or updating us on the new Aliens FPS game coming out later.
I think the singleplayer was cool, and multiplayer as well. But I can see what would annoy people and where they could make improvements (i.e. graphics on the consoles, especially the poor PS3 port...lazy Rebellion)
I mean, it's all been the same thing since the first AVP came out:
- Aliens kill everything else
- Marines kill everything else
- Predators kill everything else
all on a bunch of small, multi-level maps to make the action appear more intense.
They should have switched it up a little. Maybe I'm wrong, but the MP didn't leave a good impression on me in terms or refreshing game-play.
how about a refund for anybody who bought that map pack you just released? what a dick move. i don't play the game but i guess sega needs the resources for the latest sonic turds that they're crapping out.
Deespite it being the fastest selling game in UK this year, and best selling game on Steam.
Make like a tree, and fuck off, troll.
It very quickly dropped out of the top sellers list on Steam (i.e within a week), and it has been a flop as far as PC player base goes, just check out the steam player stats.

I didn't enjoy the game at all, and while it's a sad day for owners of the console version of the game, I honestly can't say i'm surprised.
I'm waiting for it to drop to around £10, too :) I'd love to support an AVP game, but SEGA are (along with Activision) on my list of publishers to buy late and buy cheap, because of their attitudes.
Wow they sacked console players?
Thank buddha I'm a PC Gamer, now where is my BF3? :D
GameState: "Back in the good old days of Ricky Lake and Y2K ie, 1999, we got our hands on what was a pretty decent Aliens vs Predator game. The remake is here and everyone on the block is asking: "Will I piss my pants like i did in 1999?" The short answer is no.
In my opinion, a bunch of decent IP's from the '80's get raped by slamming them into one conglomerate that simply doesn't work plot-wise. Every incarnation of this universe of combined imaginations in film format has sucked so bad."
humans>predators>aliens
That poor baby :(
I downloaded the demo yesterday and I have to say it's the worst demo I have ever played, I thought BFBC2 had poor controls but this just takes the pi$$
