Aliens vs. Predator Patches Scrapped for Consoles; PC Support Unchanged

24
SEGA has officially cut support for Rebellion's Aliens vs. Predator on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with no patches or updates planned for release, according to a forum post (via AVP.net) by SEGA assistant community manager "Clumsyorchid".

Clumsyorchid explains that "patches for the console versions of AVP... have sadly been scrapped," though there is no new information on "PC patches and would not assume there will be any changes unless stated otherwise."

Seven updates have been published for the PC version through Steam, including a day-one patch. Within the patches are numerous balance changes, fixes, and updates, none of which will make it to the console versions of the game.

Aliens vs. Predator recently received a DLC map pack, it's second, across all three platforms. It is unclear if further DLC is in development or if this signals the end of Rebellion's work on the project entirely, given that the PC patches have already been released.

Shacknews has contacted SEGA for further clarification on the matter and will update you with any response.

    The game was a major disappointment anyway......and arguably beyond the help of patches to resolve. Even the map packs were a waste of time and money.

      Indeed. I had such high hopes for this game. Too bad Colonial Marines seems to be stuck in development hell.

        At this point I'd accept a reskinned version of Borderlands with an Aliens theme.

          This is actually a good idea.

            Wow, a reskinned Borderlands or L4D Mod with alients/predators would be insane. That should be done.

            I second that. Borderlands was majorly addictive. Combined with Aliens would be bliss, lol... or it could be a major disaster...

      It should've been L4D2:AvP. A proper, fun, co-op multiplayer AvP-themed fps would've been an instant hit. What we got fell far, far short of what I had hoped for. And then to charge $60 on top of that.

        Well, Aliens: Colonial Marines is supposed to cover the co-op aspect......if the bloody thing ever gets published.....
