Aliens vs. Predator Patches Scrapped for Consoles; PC Support Unchanged
by Brian Leahy, Jul 15, 2010 12:15pm PDTSEGA 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.

Then again I'm sure it wouldn't be the first time a PC version sold more than a console version. Look at TF2 and Orange Box. It was just a passing AAA title for consoles but it was THE game in 2007 for PC. Probably still sells quite well on PC too being a mainstay in the FPS community; compared to the console version which everyone basically forgot about once 2007 when all the console kids with no attention spans went back to CoD4.
