Why no Alien versus Predator 3?

[wilka91]

I thought that AvP 2 was one of the greatest FPS ever.

So why didn't they make a sequel? ;( I mean, just imagine a AvP game with today's graphics!

Because the male diaper industry would explode, resulting in a total market crash.

scary f'in games those!

If they announce a third Im probably just going to hide in the closet...

I still can't get rid of the stains from 2.

AVP2 was a superb game. Sadly, nobody is willing to develop a third simply because of the truly shite Paul Anderson movie. Who ruined the damn thing, completely ignoring and taking a gigantic shit on Aliens, Predator and the fricken script.

My theory anyway.

Because it doesn't need another sequel.

 

[CptStern]

because it's a licensing issue ..Dark Horse comics used to own the rights to the name "aliens vs predator" but then fox interactive aquired the rights ..when they folded they became joint properties of EA and vivendi ..who only put out a rts based on the AvP world and havent colabortated since

Which is supremely annoying.

However, why nobody has made an Aliens game yet, with squad-based colonial marining, is beyond me. I mean christ, think of the cash you could make! It's a ****ing winner for gamers and for companies!

 

[Kamikazie]

if its made correctly of course... D:

There was one that was getting made, but it got cancelled sadly... ;(

 

[Asknoone]

I forgot that Fox suck major ****ing balls.

 

[Lemonking]

awwww, I was thinking about the same thing a few days agao AvP2 was great,The Predator campaign was sooo awsome.

 

[wilka91]

I think I was a predator in a previous life.

Speaking of which, anyone else think Area51 would've been an awesome game if your marine squad DIDN'T die and it didn't become a one-man-versus-all type thing?

GAWSH, ALL THE GOOD IDEAS GET PISSED ON!

 

[weskerQ8]

i've heard a romur about 2 years ago that the develpers of Avp2 bought the doom 3 engine

 

[Hullu]

If they do make avp3, I hope they make the aliens look the same as in the first one. They looked ridiculous in avp2.

You got my vote, chief.

my ultimate alien game
======================
Co-Op Mplayer
Doom3 or Better Graphics
Doom3 Atomosphere (shadows n shit)
Game comes w/ headset for all players to strap on
Entering hives like in the 2nd one, maybe have Human alien players, but also generate a lot of CPU aliens as well.

For some reason, I just wanted to play Natural-Selection: Sourcer even more now. THANKS ALOT!

Crazy - I was actually thinking of this earlier this week. They could leave the AVP movie out of it, and basically come up with a story much like the game in AVPII (or even Primal Hunt - it's not too difficult to throw together a storyline that'll involve them all) where they're all fighting each other. Add a little co-op, balance the weapons some, use the Source or Jupiter Ex engine and you're halfway there.
I never played the first one - were the aliens better?
