    zawi has the game for 20,- oiros

    CDWOW for 24,- cdwow accepts iDeal so it's handy for dutchfags, though the wait time is like a week. But that's no problem it will be out on torrents before release.

    PC games get pirated a lot, I'd say that rebellion really wants AvP3 to sell shitloads... In fact, i wonder if rebellion wont close for good if AvP3 fails.

    Just curious HP, have you played the AVP demo yet, I am wondering your thoughts on it. Give it some time if you havent though. Its hardcore to the nutsack!

    I don't think they'll get rich on this game. Quality aside, it is a movie IP. A considerable share will go to the movie IP holder, there may be a movie studio or another party who also has a stake in this, for example Gigger himself, and then there is the regular publisher on top who takes a big cut. So after all that, there definitely won't be much left, let alone when you are selling at 20 euro.

    So unless they sell a gigantic boatload of AVP3's, they won't be able to sit back and relax I'd say.

    Not yet Dark, I'm waiting for my pre-order copy to arrive from amazon, and I'm trying to avoid the demo for now. I know how buggy demos can get, and don't necessary reflect the quality of the final game.

    It's good that is hardcore though, i guess we all had our share of dumbed down simplified and easy games.

    Hourences, I don't see AvP has a movie ip. Obviously, FOX has the rights to this, but remember that AvP started off as a game, not as a movie, don't know how much things changed after that piece of shit movies AvP1 and 2.

    Unless you are referring to it being an IP of either Alien and/or Predator. As HP said it was a game before the movies and a comic book long before that.

    RIght on, very good choice. My thoughts exactly simplified games. Its one of the reasons why It took me time to actually enjoy AVP for what it is.

    The game is based on an existing IP. AVP is one single IP, not two different ones. There were AVP products long before the first AVP game came out. They did not start this, they simply licensed the IP.

    Even if they would have started this, it wouldn't have helped them at all. You can't just take two existing IP's, combine them in a new way, and then suddenly get to keep a lot more of the money for yourself? That makes just no sense at all.

    If I go make an Avatar Star Wars game tomorrow, I would still have to pay everyone involved in both IP's.

    None of this changes my point. This is based on someone's else property (who in turn based it off someone else), and as of such a considerable share of the money will go to the owners.

    Using existing IP's makes it easier to market and sell your product but makes it harder to get rich on. It is the safer approach, kind of, but the rewards are unlikely to be as big as if you would have made a successful original IP game.

    Don't devs usually barely see any royalties unless the game sells ridiculously well, regardless if it's a licensed ip? Anyway I really would like to know what kind of deal rebellion got, I'm sure it would shock me, more so because AvP owes a lot of it's popularity to their and rituals skills as developers.

    wow, Game Informer review on AVP is total wacko!

    "but his issues were 'the Motion tracker is annoying!' (you know, the iconic motion tracker from Aliens. ) 'I hated being stealthy as a Predator!' (...) and 'Clinging to walls and ceilings as an Alien is really confusing!'"

    ok ok, I am officially done reading reviews for games. To many dumb out of school kids writing shit these days and only think about thumb up their ass simplicities.
